Highly reproducible periodic electrical potential changes associated with salt tolerance in wheat plants

Plant Electrophysiological Information Manifests the Composition and Nutrient Transport Characteristics of Membrane Protein

“…The results show that the relationships of between clamping force and leaf R, Xc, and XL displayed good correlations, and highlight that the aforementioned intrinsic mechanism are authentic existence. Generally, the intrinsic or spontaneous electrophysiological information in plants are not detectable [11]. In this study, the IR, IXc and IXL of plant leaves were successfully obtained via the theoretically intrinsic relationships between clamping force and leaf R, Xc and XL for the first time, which overcome the lack of representativeness, stability and reproducibility of the traditional needing approach.…”

“…Plant electrical parameters are considered to be the fastest response to environmental stimulus such as drought, salt stimulation, cold stimulation, diseases and insect pests, exogenous force [7][8][9][10][11]. Previously, a traditional approach, the electrical parameters in plants are measured by the insertion of two electrodes into the stem or leaf [12][13].…”

“…This study aims to clarify the intrinsic mechanisms among the leaf R, Xc and XL and exogenous stimuli, and provide a novel, feasible technique for real-time monitoring plant nutrient transport . Plant electrophysiological information obtained by the traditional needling method is often less authenticity, reproducibility and comparability due to needling injury, different environments and technicians, and other factors [11]. The ions, ion groups and electric dipoles in the plant leaf were used as electrolytes, and a parallel-plate capacitor sensor could be formed by placing the leaf between the two plates of the parallel-plate capacitor.…”

New sight: rapid monitor of intracellular water information in plant leaves based on electrophysiological parameters

“…Insertion of two electrodes into the stem or leaf is a traditional common approach to measure electrical signals of plants [17,29]. However, this method is instability, difficult to manipulate and low authenticity, and the plant electrical signals lacks representativeness, reproducibility and comparability due to needling injury can directly change the electrical signals, as well as different environment, measuring people and other factors [17,30]. Moreover, the intracellular water transportation, water-holding and utilization information in plant leaves can't be obtained by simple C, Z and Xc of electrical signals [9][10][11]31].…”

“…Different clamping force could be achieved by adding iron block. Moreover, the plant electrical signals obtained by traditional needling method often become less reproducible and comparable due to different environment, measuring people and other factors [17], as well as needling injury directly changes the electrical signals, resulting in their low authenticity. In order to obtain comparable and reproducible plant electrophysiological information, the models of clamping force and leaf C, Z and Xc were constructed.…”
