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

[0108] 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 only 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.

Therefore, it cannot be understood as a limitation of the present application.

[0109] The present application provides a method for dynamically inverting the net photosynthetic rate of plant leaves based on transmission spectrum, comprising the following steps:

[0110] 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 obtain sufficient number (180 groups each) of data pairs of strawberry and corn leaf samples.

[0111] Figure 1 and Figure 2The schematic diagram of the detection method for estimating the net photosynthetic rate of strawberry and corn leaves based on transmission spectrum inversion, respectively. The left part of the dashed line is the net photosynthetic rate measurement device. The instrument used is the LI-6800 photosynthesis-fluorescence automatic measurement system produced by the American LI-COR company, which can accurately measure the gas exchange parameters of plant leaves. The left side of the same compound leaf of strawberry leaf is clamped, and the left side of the same leaf vein of corn leaf is clamped for measurement. The right part of the dashed line is the spectral measurement device. The instrument used is the AvaSpec-ULS2048XL-EVO fiber optic spectrometer produced by the Netherlands Avantes company, which is used to measure the transmission 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 is clamped, and the right side of the same leaf vein of corn leaf is 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 transmission 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.

[0112] Figure 3 The original spectrum diagram of the estimation method for estimating the net photosynthetic rate of strawberry leaves based on transmission spectrum inversion. 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 transmission spectrum of the strawberry leaf, which is of great significance for optimizing photosynthesis.

[0113] 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 wall, air cavity) 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 wall, intercellular space / air cavity), 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.

[0114] Figure 4 The original spectrum of the net photosynthetic rate of maize leaves based on transmittance 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 transmittance spectrum, the unique structure and biochemical composition of the maize leaf can be revealed.

[0115] 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 wall, air cavity) 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 wall, intercellular space / air cavity), 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.

[0116] 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.

[0117] 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 light quantum flux density in the red region of corn is slightly higher than that in the blue region, but significantly lower than that in the green region.

[0118] 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, it quickly weakens, and near-infrared scattering effects dominate. 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.

[0119] 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.

[0120] S2, the original transmission spectrum is preprocessed by Savitzky-Golay smoothing, the specific process includes:

[0121] First, the parameters are initialized, the window width is set to 21 nm, and the polynomial fitting order is determined to be 2 order, the formula is:

[0122] ,

[0123] 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, ; The original transmittance spectrum values at the wavelength points ;

[0124] Then move the window along the 400-1100 nm spectral range with a step of 1 nm, extract the 21 original transmittance spectrum values within the window, and construct the Vandermonde matrix :

[0125] ,

[0126] Then, solve the polynomial coefficients by least squares method:

[0127] ,

[0128] wherein is the transpose matrix of the Vandermonde matrix , and is a vector composed of all the original transmittance spectrum values within the window;

[0129] Then, calculate the center point convolution coefficient when , , and output the smoothed value ;

[0130] Finally, use an asymmetric window at the start / end wavelength points, use a right-extended window for the first 10 points within the wavelength range of 400-409 nm, and use a left-extended window for the last 10 points within the wavelength range of 1091-1100 nm, and keep the fitting consistency by dynamically adjusting the Vandermonde matrix dimension.

[0131] Figure 5 and Figure 6 are the Savitzky-Golay smoothed strawberry and corn transmittance spectrum graphs. The purpose of Savitzky-Golay smoothing is to remove random noise in the original spectrum data caused by measuring instruments, environmental interference or small differences in samples, while removing noise, the original shape and characteristics of the spectrum (such as absorption valleys, reflection peaks, and red edge steep slopes) are preserved as much as possible, especially important biological characteristics (such as chlorophyll absorption bands and red edge positions), making subsequent spectral analysis (such as feature extraction, modeling, and classification) more reliable and accurate. The smoothed spectrum curve is smoother than the original data, but the key features are more clear and identifiable.

[0132] S3, remove outliers using the 3σ criterion. The core is to identify and replace outliers in the spectral data, and the specific process includes:

[0134] ,

[0135] Then, determine whether it is an outlier. An outlier is defined as a deviation from the mean by more than 3 standard deviations.

[0140] S4. Employ multivariate scattering correction (MSC) to eliminate the influence of blade physical structure on the spectrum. The specific process includes:

[0142] ,

[0143] in For the intercept term, For the slope term, For residuals;

[0145] ,

[0146] The corrected spectrum is:

[0147] .

[0148] Figure 7 and Figure 8 The transmittance spectra of strawberry and corn leaves after multiplicative scatter correction (MSC). 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 purer 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 transmittance 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 inter-sample comparison, representing that the absorption of this sample at this wavelength point is relatively stronger than the average level.

[0149] S5, adopt standard normal variable transformation (SNV) to eliminate baseline drift, the specific process includes: for each sample spectrum X i independent processing:

[0152] Figure 9 and Figure 10 The transmittance spectra of strawberry and corn leaves after standard normal variable transformation (SNV) processing. The core goal of SNV is to eliminate the baseline drift and amplitude variation caused by the differences in leaf physical structure (such as thickness, surface scattering), so that the spectral data is more focused on the chemical absorption characteristics. As can be seen, the "baseline" of all sample spectra is flattened to around 0, eliminating the overall transmittance level difference caused by thickness and scattering; the "amplitude of fluctuation" of all sample spectra is normalized, eliminating the spectral intensity scaling caused by the difference in scattering efficiency; the shapes of absorption valleys (such as chlorophyll in the blue / red light region, water in the near-infrared region) and reflection peaks (such as the green light region) are clearer and more comparable. The positive value on the vertical axis indicates that the absorption at this wavelength point is relatively weak (the transmittance is relatively high) compared to its own mean value, and the negative value indicates that the absorption is relatively strong (the transmittance is relatively low).

Each point represents a feature wavelength selected by the SPA algorithm, and the dense area represents the key wavelength band with large information amount, and the sparse area represents the wavelength band with large information redundancy or noise.
