Abstract
In order to develop a sustainable agriculture it is essential to use natural processes. Root exudates can attract beneficial microbes, increase the nutrient uptake from the soil and they can be a good indicator of the plant’s stress responses. Unfortunately, the commonly used exudate collection methods cannot provide spatially and temporally detailed information. We developed a novel, wax patterned paper based microfluidic system to extract root exudates spatially and temporally. Using an integrated colorimetric glucose sensor we could reveal phenotypic differences between wheat varieties.
