Abstract:

[Significance] Plant active small molecules play a key role in regulating plant growth and resisting environmental stress. Accurate detection of these molecules is of great significance for achieving precise management of agriculture and promoting the development of smart agriculture. Various detection methods have been used for the detection of plant active small molecules, among which electrochemical sensors have attracted much attention due to their sensitivity, portability, and low cost. [Progress] By reviewing relevant literature, this article deeply analyzes the research status of electrochemical sensors in the field of detecting plant active small molecules, and provides a detailed analysis of the sensing principles, signal amplification strategies, and application potential of each sensor. The development trend of sensors from in vitro to in vivo and in situ detection, the important role of nanomaterials in the sensing process, and the combination of sensors with flexible electronics and artificial intelligence technology are discussed. [Conclusion] This article summarizes the technical challenges currently faced by electrochemical sensors in the field of detecting plant active small molecules and analyzes the next development direction, including improving sensing performance, optimizing electrolyte materials, and integrating sensors with microelectronics and artificial intelligence technology, providing a reference for the technical research and application of plant small molecule electrochemical sensors.
