Verbatim
e0“Poplar plantations, particularly multiclonal ones, are highly vulnerable to pathogen-driven diseases such as leaf rust caused by Melampsora spp”
e2“Relative importance analysis highlighted chlorophylls (21 %), carotenoids (16 %), and leaf water content (11 %) as the most critical variables for rust detection”

- Method / resource The best-performing model combining plant traits and spectral indices detected rust-affected poplar with 89.5% overall accuracy (Kappa = 0.78).
- Method / resource Carotenoids had a relative importance of 16% among the variables for detecting poplar leaf rust.
- Method / resource Leaf water content had a relative importance of 11% among the variables for detecting poplar leaf rust.
- Method / resource External validation with the ANGERS spectral database supported the physiological relevance of the retrieved plant traits of poplar.
- Observation Chlorophyll, carotenoids and leaf water content of poplar vary across clones.
