Keywords: plant, biosensor, smart agriculture

To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study to show the minimally invasive extraction and continuous monitoring of potassium ions (K+) in a plant leaf, which is one of the most important electrolytes in plant cells. By utilizing the leaching phenomenon, K+ in a leaf was extracted using an extraction solution, which is composed of phosphate-buffered saline and a surfactant, TritonX-100. K+ sensor films were placed in contact with the leaf surface via a membrane soaked in the extraction solution to detect K+ extracted from the leaf into the extraction solution. This novel plant-wearable sensor is expected to enable the minimally invasive daily monitoring of the chemical compounds in leaves for advancements in plant healthcare in future agriculture.
