Das geheime Leben der Nutzpflanzen – neue Einblicke mit Biosensoren

Abstract A key goal of plant biotechnology is the targeted improvement of resilience to biotic and abiotic stress. Genetically encoded biosensors can contribute to understanding stress physiology of crops by providing real-time information on dynamics of metabolism and signalling across different scales. Recently, barley plants equipped with the glutathione redox sensor Grx1-roGFP2 in their cytosol provided novel insights in the specific responses of barley to abiotic and biotic stresses.
