Front Cover: Nondestructive Sensing of Plant-Borne Chemicals: Biomarkers, Agrochemicals, and Pollutants (Anal. Sens. 5/2025)

Abstract

Plant health monitoring is vital to address global agricultural instability. The emerging non-destructive, portable, wearable chemical sensors provide valuable insights into plant health with faster detection and real-time data. The Review by Yifei Luo, Xiaodong Chen, and co-workers summarizes progress in plant chemical sensing, focusing on key chemicals, materials, and mechanisms, aiming to overcome challenges and advance in-field deployment of these essential tools.
