This paper briefly describes the device - the phytosensor - for measuring physiological and electrophysiological parameters of plants. This system is developed as a bio-physiological sensor in precise agriculture, as a tool in plant…
Phycobilisomes (PBS) are massive structures that absorb and transfer light energy to photochemical reaction centers. Among the range of light harvesting systems, PBS are considered to be excellent solutions for absorption cross-sections but…
The ocean is filled with phytoplankton that contribute as much photosynthesis as all land plants combined, making them vital to the carbon cycle and climate system. Recent advances in flow cytometry allow oceanographers to measure the…
The proliferation of physiological sensors opens new opportunities to explore interactions, conduct experiments and evaluate the user experience with continuous monitoring of bodily functions. Commercial devices, however, can be costly or…
Living plants, while contributing to ecological balance and climate regulation, also function as natural sensors capable of transmitting information about their internal physiological states and surrounding conditions. This rich source of…
Tracking individual cells in live-cell imaging provides fundamental insights, inevitable for studying causes and consequences of phenotypic heterogeneity, responses to changing environmental conditions or stressors. Microbial cell tracking,…
Plant life plays a critical role in the ecosystem. However, it is difficult for humans to perceive plants' reactions because the biopotential and biochemical responses are invisible to humans. Guttation droplets contain various chemicals…
The process of photosynthesis, the main source of energy in the animate world, converts sunlight into chemical energy. The surprisingly high efficiency of this process is believed to be enabled by an intricate interplay between the quantum…
Greenhouse gases are pivotal drivers of climate change, necessitating precise quantification and source identification to foster mitigation strategies. We introduce GeoViT, a compact vision transformer model adept in processing satellite…
Functional-structural plant models (FSPM) replicate plants' responses to their environment and are useful for predicting behavior in a changing climate. However, they rely on detailed measurements of traits, which are difficult to collect…
Many living organisms can exploit quantum mechanical effects to gain distinct biological advantages. In plants, photosynthesis uses quantum coherence to achieve near 100% efficiency in energy transfer. With advances in experimental…
Photosynthesis is the basic process used by plants to convert light energy in reaction centers into chemical energy. The high efficiency of this process is not yet understood today. Using the formalism for the description of open quantum…
The study of how photosynthetic organisms convert light offers insight not only into nature's evolutionary process, but may also give clues as to how best to design and manipulate artificial photosynthetic systems -- and also how far we can…
In our project WatchPlant, we propose to use a decentralized network of living plants as air-quality sensors by measuring their electrophysiology to infer the environmental state, also called phytosensing. We conducted in-lab experiments…
The ocean is filled with microscopic microalgae called phytoplankton, which together are responsible for as much photosynthesis as all plants on land combined. Our ability to predict their response to the warming ocean relies on…
Automated phenotyping of plants for breeding and plant studies promises to provide quantitative metrics on plant traits at a previously unattainable observation frequency. Developers of tools for performing high-throughput phenotyping are,…
Genome-scale stoichiometric modeling of metabolism has become a standard systems biology tool for modeling cellular physiology and growth. Extensions of this approach are also emerging as a valuable avenue for predicting, understanding and…
Plants solve complex problems without centralized control, relying instead on growth-driven dynamics to sense, navigate, and optimize resource acquisition. This review presents a unified physical framework for understanding plant behavior…
Giant strides in ultrashort laser pulse technology have enabled real-time observation of dynamical processes in complex molecular systems. Specifically, the discovery of oscillatory transients in the two-dimensional electronic spectra of…
Accurate reconstruction of plant models for phenotyping analysis is critical for optimising sustainable agricultural practices in precision agriculture. Traditional laboratory-based phenotyping, while valuable, falls short of understanding…
