Abstract
Agriculture is an important part of the economy of most countries. In general, it is important to monitor and prevent biotic (infections) and abiotic stresses (droughts or excessive watering) that can significantly affect crop yield. For this reason, there is a need to develop a fast and low-cost platform that can be used in the field to monitor plant response to various types of stresses. For portability, microfluidics was the platform of choice for targeting two biomarkers: abscisic acid, related to plant ripening and to plant response to drought stress; and salicylic acid, related to the plant response to infection.
