Plant Phenomics. 2023 Jul 4;5:0051. doi: 10.34133/plantphenomics.0051. eCollection 2023.
The advancement of plant phenomics by using optical imaging-based phenotyping techniques has markedly improved breeding and crop management. However, there remains a challenge in increasing the spatial resolution and accuracy due to their noncontact measurement mode. Wearable sensors, an emerging data collection tool, present a promising solution to address these challenges. By using a contact measurement mode, wearable sensors enable in-situ monitoring of plant phenotypes and their surrounding environments. Although a few pioneering works have been reported in monitoring plant growth and microclimate, the utilization of wearable sensors in plant phenotyping has yet reach its full potential. This review aims to systematically examine the progress of wearable sensors in monitoring plant phenotypes and the environment from an interdisciplinary perspective, including materials science, signal communication, manufacturing technology, and plant physiology. Additionally, this review discusses the challenges and future directions of wearable sensors in the field of plant phenotyping.
利用基于光学成像的表型分析技术推动植物表型组学发展，显著改善了育种和作物管理。然而，由于其非接触式测量模式，在提高空间分辨率和准确性方面仍存在挑战。可穿戴传感器作为一种新兴的数据收集工具，为应对这些挑战提供了一个有前景的解决方案。通过采用接触式测量模式，可穿戴传感器能够对植物表型及其周围环境进行原位监测。尽管在监测植物生长和微气候方面已有一些开创性的工作报道，但可穿戴传感器在植物表型分析中的应用尚未充分发挥其潜力。本综述旨在从跨学科角度，包括材料科学、信号通信、制造技术和植物生理学，系统地审视可穿戴传感器在监测植物表型和环境方面的进展。此外，本综述还讨论了可穿戴传感器在植物表型分析领域的挑战和未来发展方向。
