由病原体、害虫和气候变化引起的新出现的植物病害不仅对自然生态系统而且对人类生命构成严重威胁。为了减轻各种生物和非生物胁迫造成的作物损失，需要新的传感器技术来实时监测植物健康、预测和跟踪植物病害。最近开发了用于人体健康监测的可穿戴电子产品。然而，可穿戴电子产品在农业和植物科学中的应用还处于起步阶段。可穿戴技术意味着传感器将直接放置在叶子和茎等植物器官的表面。这些传感器旨在通过分析各种性状生物标志物和微环境参数，将生物信号转换为电子读数以进行数据分析，来检测植物健康状况。从这个角度，总结了可穿戴植物传感器的最新进展，并按功能进行分类，即植物生长传感器、生理和微气候传感器、化学传感器和多功能传感器。讨论了每种类型可穿戴传感器的设计和机制，并重点介绍了它们在解决当前精准农业挑战方面的应用。最后，提出了可穿戴植物传感器未来发展的挑战和前景。
Emerging plant diseases, caused by pathogens, pests, and climate change, are critical threats to not only the natural ecosystem but also human life. To mitigate crop loss due to various biotic and abiotic stresses, new sensor technologies to monitor plant health, predict, and track plant diseases in real time are desired. Wearable electronics have recently been developed for human health monitoring. However, the application of wearable electronics to agriculture and plant science is in its infancy. Wearable technologies mean that the sensors will be directly placed on the surfaces of plant organs such as leaves and stems. The sensors are designed to detect the status of plant health by profiling various trait biomarkers and microenvironmental parameters, transducing bio-signals to electric readout for data analytics. In this perspective, the recent progress in wearable plant sensors is summarized and they are categorized by the functionality, namely plant growth sensors, physiology, and microclimate sensors, chemical sensors, and multifunctional sensors. The design and mechanism of each type of wearable sensors are discussed and their applications to address the current challenges of precision agriculture are highlighted. Finally, challenges and perspectives for the future development of wearable plant sensors are presented.
