Water content in plants is one of the most common biochemical parameters limiting efficiency of photosynthesis and crop productivity. Therefore, it has very important meaning to predict the water content rapidly and nondestructively. The objective of this study was to investigate the feasibility of detecting the water content in the leaf using the diffuse reflectance spectra limited in the VIS/NIR region (400–1100 nm), which could be used to determine other biochemical parameters such as chlorophyll and nitrogen content. The experiment with leaves in different water stress was conducted. The statistical test result indicated that the determination of water content in leaf could be successfully performed by VIS/NIR spectroscopy combined with chemometrics method. The performances of different pretreatment methods were compared. The model with best performance was obtained from the first derivative spectra. In order to make the calibration model more parsimonious and stable, a hybrid wavelength selection method was proposed to extract the efficient feature wavelength. Under the optimal condition, an RMSEP of 0.73% with 25 variables was obtained for water content prediction using extern validation. The conclusions presented could lead to the development of portable instrument for synchronous detecting water content and other biochemical parameters rapidly and nondestructively.

The photoluminescence of carbon quantum dots synthesized from natural honey and mixtures of honey and sugar has been studied. An increase in the sugar content leads to a decrease in the photoluminescence intensity without changing the shape of the luminescence spectrum of these quantum dots aqueous solutions, which is associated with a decrease in the yield of their synthesis in the sugar presence. The discovered effect can be used to detect sugar in honey. When examining five different market samples of flower honey using this method, two of them showed a significant decrease in the photoluminescence intensity. A laboratory test for compliance with GOST 19792-2017 Standard requirements established an excess of the sucrose content in these samples. Luminescent determination of sugar in honey does not require complicated equipment and can be used to develop a new analytical method for determining the sugar content in counterfeit natural honey.
