Raman Spectroscopy and Machine-Learning for Early Detection of Bacterial Canker of Tomato: The Asymptomatic Disease Condition.

Bacterial canker of tomato is caused by subsp. (Cmm). The disease is highly destructive, because it produces latent asymptomatic infections that favor contagion rates.

Detection of subsp. Assisted by Micro-Raman Spectroscopy under Laboratory Conditions.

subsp. () is a quarantine-worthy pest in México. The implementation and validation of new technologies is necessary to reduce the time for bacterial detection in laboratory conditions and Raman spectroscopy is an ambitious technology that has all of the features needed to characterize and identify bacteria.
