Technology
In development
Company

The IVOS biosensor enables real-time, continuous monitoring of oxidative stress in corn plants, offering early stress detection and improving breeding strategies. It integrates with nitrogen sensors to provide data linking stress responses to nutrient availability.

Overview

The IVOS biosensor is a cutting-edge tool designed for real-time, continuous monitoring of oxidative stress (OS) in corn plants. This technology provides early detection of stress factors such as drought, nitrogen deficiency, and high planting density, allowing for timely interventions. Unlike traditional methods that rely on sporadic manual measurements, the IVOS biosensor delivers dynamic and continuous data, enabling researchers to monitor physiological changes as stress evolves. By integrating with multi-level nitrogen sensors, IVOS links physiological stress responses to nutrient availability, uncovering genetic markers associated with stress tolerance and enhancing precision in long-term breeding strategies.

Technical specifications
  • Real-time monitoring: Continuous tracking of oxidative stress in living plants.
  • Integration capability: Works with multi-level nitrogen sensors to provide comprehensive data on nutrient dynamics.
  • Genomic selection tools: Data integration with QTL mapping and marker-assisted selection (MAS) for improved breeding precision.
  • Applications: Optimizes hybrid selection in corn breeding, enhances resilience traits such as drought tolerance and nitrogen efficiency.
Technology readiness level

This technology is at TRL 6, indicating that it has been validated in relevant environments and is ready for further trials to refine its applications in corn hybrid breeding.
