About
Dr. R. Romero‐Aranda is a leading researcher in plant physiology and stress biology, with a particular focus on the intersection of abiotic stress and plant-pathogen interactions. Her work has been instrumental in advancing non-invasive, high-throughput phenotyping techniques to monitor plant health. In a landmark 2006 study, she pioneered the use of robotized thermal and chlorophyll fluorescence imaging to track the progression of Pepper Mild Mottle Virus (PMMoV) in *Nicotiana benthamiana*. This work, which has garnered 57 citations, demonstrated that thermal imaging could detect viral infection before visual symptoms appear, offering a powerful tool for early diagnosis and resistance screening. By correlating changes in leaf temperature and chlorophyll fluorescence with pathogen spread, Romero‐Aranda provided a novel, real-time window into host-pathogen dynamics. Her contributions have significantly impacted the fields of precision agriculture and plant virology, establishing a methodological foundation for integrating robotics and optical sensing into plant stress research.
