Wearable sensing technology is an essential link to future personalized medicine through seamlessly monitoring heart rate, body temperature, and physical activities of human body. Recently, a wearable electronic sensor for plants has been jointly dev
Zhejiang University
Researchers pioneered in continuously monitoring the stem flow inside a plant through this wearable electronic sensing device which can harmlessly cohabitate with the plant. Meanwhile, they found that fruit growth and photosynthesis are not synchronized, which not only alters people’s long-standing perception of the plant’s growth and development process but also opens the door to new technologies in high-yield crop breeding and cultivation.
This study was published in the March 9 issue of the journal Advanced Science.
