Two silver electrodes are attached to a plant and its internal electrical signals are amplified and recorded. Our plant sensors can monitor up to 8 plants at the same time. The electrodes typically stay in place throughout the entirety of an experiment.
A live view of plant electrophysiology signals shows how plants are responding to current environmental conditions and when a plant reacts to a stressor, like a change in temperature or insect infestation.This information provides valuable evidence of differences in genetic backgrounds, growing conditions, and on the efficacy of treatments.
