The detached leaf assay is a valuable method for studying plant-pathogen interactions, enabling the assessment of pathogenicity, plant resistance, and treatment effects. In this protocol, we outline how to set up a Phytophthora detached leaf assay and use non-expert machine learning tools to increase the reliability and throughput of the image analysis. Utilizing ilastik for pixel classification and Python scripts for segmentation, manual correction, and temporal linking, the pipeline provides objective and quantitative data over time. The protocol covers assay setup and image segmentation and outlines key considerations, providing a comprehensive guide for setting up and analyzing detached leaf assays. The very minimal material requirements and user-friendly software make this protocol accessible for all Phytophthora researchers.

root regeneration is the process by which adventitious roots form around the wound site from wounded or detached plant organs. The root regeneration process has been widely exploited in cutting technology used for vegetative propagation. Here, we employed detached leaf explants from to form adventitious roots for studying the process of root regeneration.

In this work, the atmospheric pressure air gliding arc discharge has been produced for the generation of plasma-activated water (PAW) and studying its effect on the chlorophyll retention and greenness of Tejpat () leaves. The discharge is characterized via electrical and optical methods to calculate the electron excitation temperature (1.38 eV) and density ( cm) of the plasma.

Here, a cost effective and rapid technique, called the "Detached Leaf Assay", was developed to identify resistant germplasm at the seedling stage itself. Zoospore production in highly virulent (P19) was standardized by incubating under a 12 hours light and dark regime.
