Microsensors make it possible to measure plant stress
The development of microsensors able to identify physiological changes linked to plant stress could make it easier to monitor plant health. These devices measure biomarkers inside plant tissues, such as ions and plant hormones, and unlike conventional analyses they allow localized, real-time measurements without taking samples to a laboratory. Their use in agriculture would help adjust irrigation, optimize fertilizer use and monitor crops, though they still must overcome challenges of stability, precision, durability and compatibility with plant tissues.
