Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of agricultural product testing and analysis technology, and particularly relates to a method for dynamically inverting plant leaf net photosynthetic rate based on visible-near infrared (400-1100 nm) transmission spectrum. BACKGROUND

[0002] Plant leaf net photosynthetic rate (Pn) is a core physiological index for measuring its photosynthetic carbon assimilation efficiency, and directly affects the growth and development, yield formation and quality improvement of crops. Real-time and dynamic monitoring of the change of the net photosynthetic rate has great guiding significance for precise regulation of water and fertilizer, optimization of environmental factors, diagnosis of stress state and realization of fine management of crop production.

[0003] At present, the most reliable method for obtaining the net photosynthetic rate is to use a portable photosynthetic instrument (such as LI-6800, CIRAS-3) to indirectly calculate by measuring leaf gas exchange (Pn) and other parameters. Although this method has high precision and wide applicability, it is complicated and inefficient, needs to clamp the leaf, disturbs the normal microenvironment and physiological state of the leaf, and cannot realize real in-situ and continuous dynamic monitoring, so it is not practical in high-throughput screening or large-area field application.

[0004] In recent years, spectral technology (mainly reflection spectrum) has also been widely studied for the inversion of leaf physiological parameters. Lei Qian et al. (Lei Qian, Li Qian, Tang Liping, et al. Monitoring model of photosynthetic characteristics of winter rape based on canopy spectrum [J]. Crop Research, 2021, 35(04): 318-329) established a monitoring model of spectral and photosynthetic characteristics of rape under different fertilization amounts and density conditions; Liu Cong et al. (Liu Cong, Peng Yi, Fang Shenghui. Inversion of rice leaf net photosynthetic rate based on hyperspectral data [J]. Journal of China Agricultural University, 2020, 25(01): 56-65) found that the model based on chlorophyll vegetation index CI can be applied to the unified inversion of leaf net photosynthetic rate of different varieties; Wang Jianfeng et al. (Wang Jianfeng, Han Qingyan, Cui Hongbo, et al. Estimation method for inversion of onion leaf net photosynthetic rate based on hyperspectral reflectance [P]. China: CN119290820A, 2025-01-10) invented an estimation method for inversion of onion leaf net photosynthetic rate based on hyperspectral reflectance, which provides an effective means for non-destructive estimation of onion cylindrical leaf net photosynthetic rate. As a non-destructive means, spectral technology has the potential for rapid and large-area application. However, traditional reflection spectrum mainly reflects the surface and shallow information of the leaf. For C3 and C4 plant leaves with thin mesophyll and strong light transmission, the internal key photosynthesis information (especially the light absorption characteristics of deep mesophyll cells) may be difficult to fully capture in the reflection spectrum. At the same time, reflection spectrum is easily disturbed by factors such as leaf surface characteristics (such as wax and fluff), detection angle, detection distance, etc.

[0005] In summary, the prior art is difficult to dynamically and accurately estimate plant leaves, and there is a lack of a dynamic monitoring method for net photosynthetic rate that can take into account non-destructive, rapid, accurate and suitable for different plant types and photosynthetic types. SUMMARY

The method provided by the present application provides a real-time and accurate plant net photosynthetic rate monitoring tool, and the hardware cost is significantly lower than that of a portable photosynthetic instrument, so that an ordinary spectrometer can be deployed and widely popularized.

[0034] In order for those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions of the present application, the present application will be further described in detail below in combination with the drawings. The following embodiments are merely specific embodiments of the present application, which are used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present application, but not to limit the protection scope of the present application. In the description of the present application, it should be noted that the directions or position relationships indicated by the terms "inner", "outer" and the like are based on the directions or position relationships shown in the drawings, which are merely for the convenience of describing the present application and simplifying the description, and therefore cannot be understood as limiting the present application in that the devices or elements referred to must have a specific direction, be constructed and operated in a specific direction. Therefore, it cannot be understood as a limitation of the present application.

[0035] The present application provides a method for dynamically inverting the net photosynthetic rate of plant leaves based on transmission spectrum, comprising the following steps:

[0036] S1, select healthy leaves of representative strawberries and corn plants of different varieties and different growth stages as samples, representing C3 plants and C4 plants respectively. The net photosynthetic rate of the target leaves is accurately measured by gas exchange method. The transmittance spectrum of the leaves is measured simultaneously using a spectrometer and its matching transmission measurement device. When measuring the strawberry leaves, the left and right leaves of the same compound leaf of the same plant are selected, one side measures the net photosynthetic rate, and the other side measures the transmittance spectrum simultaneously. When measuring the corn leaves, the veins of the same leaf of the same plant are selected, one side measures the net photosynthetic rate, and the other side measures the transmittance spectrum simultaneously. Respectively, a sufficient number (180 groups each) of data pairs of strawberry and corn leaf samples are obtained.

[0037] Figure 1 and Figure 2The schematic diagram of the detection method for estimating the net photosynthetic rate of strawberry and corn leaves based on transmittance spectrum, respectively. The left part of the dashed line is the net photosynthetic rate measurement device. The instrument used is LI-6800 photosynthesis-fluorescence automatic measurement system produced by LI-COR company in the United States, which can accurately measure the gas exchange parameters of plant leaves. The left side of the same compound leaf of strawberry leaf and the left side of the same leaf vein of corn leaf were clamped for measurement. The right part of the dashed line is the spectral measurement device. The instrument used is AvaSpec-ULS2048XL-EVO fiber spectrometer produced by Avantes company in the Netherlands, which is used to measure the transmittance spectrum of the leaf. First, the fiber receiving end is connected with the cosine corrector, then the cosine corrector is fixed under the leaf, the right side of the same compound leaf of strawberry leaf and the right side of the same leaf vein of corn leaf are clamped for measurement. The distance between the leaf and the cosine corrector is kept constant during measurement to minimize the probability of human error. After deducting the machine noise, the leaf sample transmittance spectrum data is collected. The measurement wavelength range is 400-1100 nm, and the step interval is 1 nm; 180 samples of strawberry and corn are randomly collected as test samples.

[0038] Figure 3 The original spectrum diagram of the estimation method for estimating the net photosynthetic rate of strawberry leaves based on transmittance spectrum. It can be observed from the diagram that in the visible light wavelength range of 400-700 nm, the spectral characteristics of plant leaves are the key characteristics of their photosynthetic efficiency and physiological activity. This method reveals the composition, structure and state information of the leaf interior by analyzing the transmittance spectrum of the strawberry leaf, which is of great significance for optimizing photosynthesis.

[0039] The blue region (400-500 nm) has a very low photon flux density, indicating that chlorophyll a / b and carotenoids have strong absorption in this region (especially around 430-450 nm). Most of the blue light is captured by the leaf tissue for photosynthesis, and very little is transmitted. The green region (500-600 nm) has a relatively high photon flux density (forming a distinct "peak" in the graph), indicating that chlorophyll a / b have relatively weak absorption in the green region (they mainly absorb blue and red light). Although some of the green light is absorbed for photosynthesis (less efficiently than blue and red light), a large portion of the green light is reflected or transmitted by the leaf. The red region (600-700 nm) has a low photon flux density again, indicating that chlorophyll a / b have another very strong absorption peak in the red region (especially around 660 nm) for photosynthesis. Most of the red light is captured by the leaf tissue for use. The red edge region (680-750 nm) has a sharp rise in photon flux density from the low value in the red region (forming a steep rising slope). This indicates that the absorption of chlorophyll in the red region saturates at 680 nm, and beyond this wavelength the absorption capacity rapidly decreases. At the same time, the scattering effect of the internal structure of the leaf (cell walls, air cavities) on near-infrared light begins to dominate. The near-infrared region (750-1100 nm) has a very high photon flux density, indicating that plant pigments (chlorophyll, carotenoids) have little absorption in this region. Light mainly interacts with the internal structure of the leaf (cell walls, intercellular space / air cavities), resulting in strong scattering (including reflection and transmission). The healthier and more complex the structure of the leaf (such as multiple layers of mesophyll cells and a large number of air cavities), the stronger the scattering (transmission + reflection) of near-infrared light.

[0040] Figure 4 The original spectrum of the net photosynthetic rate of maize leaves is based on the inversion of the transmission spectrum. From the figure, it can be observed that the spectral characteristics of maize leaves in the visible-near-infrared band are closely related to the efficient physiological mechanism of their C4 photosynthetic pathway. By analyzing the transmission spectrum, the unique structure and biochemical composition of the maize leaf can be revealed.

[0041] The blue region (400-500 nm) has a very low photon flux density, indicating that chlorophyll a / b and carotenoids have strong absorption in this region (especially around 430-450 nm). Most of the blue light is captured by the leaf tissue for photosynthesis, and very little is transmitted. The green region (500-600 nm) has a relatively high photon flux density (forming a distinct "peak" in the graph), indicating that chlorophyll a / b have relatively weak absorption in the green region (they mainly absorb blue and red light). Although some of the green light is absorbed for photosynthesis (less efficiently than blue and red light), a large portion of the green light is reflected or transmitted by the leaf. The red region (600-700 nm) has a low photon flux density again, indicating that chlorophyll a / b have another very strong absorption peak in the red region (especially around 660 nm) for photosynthesis. Most of the red light is captured by the leaf tissue for use. The red edge region (680-750 nm) has a sharp rise in photon flux density from the low value in the red region (forming a steep rising slope). This indicates that the absorption of chlorophyll in the red region saturates at 680 nm, and beyond this wavelength the absorption capacity rapidly decreases. At the same time, the scattering effect of the internal structure of the leaf (cell walls, air cavities) on near-infrared light begins to dominate. The near-infrared region (750-1100 nm) has a very high photon flux density, indicating that plant pigments (chlorophyll, carotenoids) have little absorption in this region. Light mainly interacts with the internal structure of the leaf (cell walls, intercellular space / air cavities), resulting in strong scattering (including reflection and transmission). The healthier and more complex the structure of the leaf (such as multiple layers of mesophyll cells and a large number of air cavities), the stronger the scattering (transmission + reflection) of near-infrared light.

[0042] The green region (500-600 nm) shows a significant increase in the light quantum flux density, forming a clear "green peak". This is due to the more developed mesophyll sheath cell structure of the corn leaf, which enhances the transmission ability of non-photosynthetically active bands (green light). However, the peak is relatively flat, reflecting its higher chlorophyll density.

[0043] The red region (600-700 nm) shows a decrease in the light quantum flux density again, especially at 660 nm, where a steep depression occurs. This is related to the high-efficiency photosystem II reaction center of corn - C4 plants maintain the energy balance of the Calvin cycle and C4 pathway through stronger red light capture. The red region light quantum flux density of corn is slightly higher than that of blue light, but significantly lower than that of green light.

[0044] The red edge region (680-750 nm) shows a sharp increase in the light quantum flux density, forming a steep slope. After the chlorophyll absorption saturates at 680 nm, the near-infrared scattering effect dominates. Comparing Figure 1 It can be seen that the red edge slope of corn is steeper than that of strawberry, which may reflect its higher chlorophyll density or more compact cell arrangement. At the same time, the red edge position (≈720 nm) is red-shifted compared to strawberry (≈700 nm). This feature is due to the thicker palisade tissue and higher chlorophyll a / b ratio of corn leaves, causing the absorption saturation point to shift towards the long wave direction.

[0045] The near-infrared region (750-1100 nm) maintains a high light quantum flux density with gentle fluctuations. Plant pigments have weak absorption in this waveband, and light is scattered by the internal structure of the leaf (cell wall, air cavity). In the 900-980 nm water-sensitive waveband, transmission decreases. This is because corn, as a monocotyledonous plant, has a parallel vein structure and a large number of silicified cells, which increase the light scattering path, making near-infrared light more fully contact the internal water of the leaf.

[0046] S2, the original transmission spectrum is preprocessed by Savitzky-Golay smoothing, the specific process includes: First, initialize the parameters, set the window width to 21 nm, and determine the polynomial fitting order to be 2 orders, the formula is: , where, is the wavelength, is the smoothed value of the wavelength , the window radius is , , is the Savitzky-Golay convolution coefficient; is the index value within the window, ; is the smoothed value of the wavelength The original transmission spectrum values ​​below; Then, along the 400-1100 nm spectral range, the window is moved in 1 nm increments for each wavelength. Extract 21 raw transmission spectra within the window Construct the Vandermonde matrix : , Then, the polynomial coefficients are solved using the least squares method: , in, Vandermonde matrix The transpose of the matrix, It is a vector composed of all the original transmission spectrum values ​​within the window; Then, calculate the center point convolution coefficients. ,when , Output smooth value ; Finally, an asymmetric window is used at the start / end wavelength points. The first 10 points in the wavelength range of 400-409 nm use a right extended window, and the last 10 points in the wavelength range of 1091-1100 nm use a left extended window. The fit consistency is maintained by dynamically adjusting the dimensions of the Vandermonde matrix.

[0047] Figure 5 and Figure 6 These are transmission spectra of strawberries and corn after Savitzky-Golay smoothing. The purpose of Savitzky-Golay smoothing is to remove random noise from the original spectral data caused by measuring instruments, environmental interference, or minor sample differences. While removing noise, it preserves as much of the original shape and characteristics of the spectrum as possible (such as absorption valleys, reflection peaks, and red-edge slopes), especially important biological features (such as chlorophyll absorption bands and red-edge positions), making subsequent spectral analyses (such as feature extraction, modeling, and classification) more reliable and accurate. The smoothed spectral curves are smoother than the original data, but key features are more clearly discernible.

[0048] S3. Outliers are removed using the 3x standard deviation method (3σ criterion). The core of this method is identifying and replacing outliers in the spectral data. The specific process includes: Let the spectral data matrix be ,in For the sample size, For the first The value of a sample at the q-th wavelength, for each wavelength First, calculate the mean. with standard deviation : , Then, judge whether it is an outlier, outlier is defined as deviating from the mean more than 3 times the standard deviation: If is an outlier, Finally, replace the outlier with the median of the remaining non-outlier values in the wavelength : , Where, represents the value of the th sample at the th wavelength, represents the value of the th sample at the th wavelength, where refers to all samples.

[0049] S4, adopt multivariate scatter correction (MSC), eliminate the influence of leaf physical structure on spectrum. The specific process includes: For the original spectrum vector of the th sample , take the mean spectrum of all samples as the reference spectrum , linear regression: , Where is the intercept term, is the slope term, is the residual; Solve by least squares: , The corrected spectrum is: .

[0050] Figure 7 And Figure 8 are the strawberry and corn leaf transmission spectra after multivariate scatter correction (MSC) processing. The core goal of MSC is to eliminate the light scattering interference caused by the differences in leaf physical structure (such as thickness, surface roughness, cell arrangement), so as to extract more pure chemical component information (such as chlorophyll, water content). The negative values on the vertical axis are due to the fact that the values after MSC correction no longer have the physical meaning of the original transmission light (i.e. the actual number of photons penetrating the leaf). It is a relative value after mathematical transformation, mainly used to highlight the chemical absorption characteristics and for sample comparison, representing that the sample at this wavelength point absorbs relatively stronger than the average level.

[0051] S5, adopt standard normal variable transformation (SNV), eliminate baseline drift, the specific process includes: for each sample spectrum X iHandle independently: , in, Let be the mean of the i-th sample across all wavelengths. For the first The standard deviation of a sample For the first The sample at the th The values ​​after SNV processing at each wavelength.

[0052] Figure 9 and Figure 10 These are the transmission spectra of strawberry and corn leaves after Standard Normal Variable Transform (SNV). The core objective of SNV is to eliminate baseline drift and amplitude variations caused by differences in leaf physical structure (such as thickness and surface scattering), making the spectral data more focused on chemical absorption characteristics. It can be seen that the "baseline" of all sample spectra is flattened to near 0, eliminating the overall transmission level differences caused by thickness and scattering; the "fluctuation amplitude" of all sample spectra is normalized, eliminating spectral intensity scaling caused by differences in scattering efficiency; the shapes of absorption valleys (such as chlorophyll in the blue / red region and water in the near-infrared region) and reflection peaks (such as in the green region) are clearer and more comparable. A positive value on the vertical axis indicates that the absorption at that wavelength is weaker than its mean (higher transmission), while a negative value indicates stronger absorption (lower transmission).

[0053] S6. Select feature wavelengths using the Continuous Projection Algorithm (SPA). The SPA algorithm is a method for selecting feature wavelengths in high-dimensional data. Its core idea is to iteratively select wavelengths with high information content and low collinearity to optimize the performance of the prediction model.

The growth of information volume is approaching saturation. .

They illustrate how the SPA algorithm, based on continuous projection (SPA) algorithms, selected 50 most informative wavelengths from high-dimensional spectral data for strawberry and corn leaves. The blue curve represents the average spectral curve, reflecting the average transmission spectral characteristics of all 180 samples; the red dots are markers for the selected wavelengths, totaling 50 points distributed across key spectral regions. Each point represents a feature wavelength selected by the SPA algorithm; dense areas indicate key bands deemed to have high information content, while sparse areas represent bands with redundant information or high noise.

The data points on the scatter plot are closely distributed near the ideal prediction line (diagonal line), indicating that the model prediction value is highly consistent with the actual value. After calculation, the determination coefficients of the training set are 0.9254 and 0.9856, respectively, which is close to 1, indicating that the model has an excellent fitting degree on the training data. The model can explain 92.54% and 98.56% of the variation in photosynthetic rate in the training data. The root mean square error of the training set is 1.0038 and 1.7593, respectively, representing the average error between the predicted value and the true value of the model on the training data. The determination coefficients of the test set are 0.8781 and 0.976, indicating that the model still has very good prediction and generalization ability on new data (test set) that has not been seen before. The model can explain 87.81% and 97.6% of the variation in photosynthetic rate in the test data. The root mean square error of the test set is 0.7212 and 1.3123, representing the average error between the predicted value and the true value of the model on the test data. It is worth noting that the RMSEP (0.7212) of the strawberry model is lower than the RMSEC (1.0038), and the RMSEP (1.3123) of the corn model is also lower than the RMSEC (1.7936). This means that the prediction error of the model on unknown data is even slightly smaller than on training data, indicating that the model does not overfit the training data and has excellent generalization performance.
