Emerging Technologies for Monitoring Plant Health in Vivo

Signature Optical Cues: Emerging Technologies for Monitoring Plant Health

Optical technologies can be developed as practical tools for monitoring plant health by providing unique spectral signatures that can be related to specific plant stresses. Signatures from thermal and fluorescence imaging have been used successfully to track pathogen invasion before visual symptoms are observed. Another approach for noninvasive plant health monitoring involves elucidating the m...

\"Internet of Things\": An Emerging Real-Time Technology for Environmental Health Monitoring

EMERGING TECHNOLOGIES Continuous Intravascular Blood Gas Monitoring

N AVERAGE adult at rest consumes approximately A 100 million trillion molecules of oxygen per second; with virtually no capacity for oxygen storage, cessation of oxygen delivery quickly results in irreversible cellular damage. The human cardiopulmonary system functions remarkably well in healthy individuals, maintaining the mitochondrial oxygen tension (greater than 1 mmHg) required for aerobic...

Editorial: Emerging Technologies for the Study of Plant Environmental Sensing

It is the plant’s autotrophic photosynthetic abilities that allow it to survive in its original location without the need to move its whole life, but it is continuously exposed to changes in environmental conditions, which at times can be very severe. To tackle the many environmental challenges directly, plants have evolved several environmental sensing systems and physiological mechanisms of a...
