讲座摘要：
Global agriculture is facing grand challenges to ensure food security. Major improvements in crop yield are needed to accommodate population growth and climate change. While crop breeding efforts have greatly benefited from advances in genomics, high-throughput and high-resolution profiling of crop phenome associated with both genome and environments remains a major technical bottleneck. As the excessive use of nitrogen fertilizer results in significant economic cost and environmental pollution, how can our engineers help select and breed better varieties that can use nitrogen more efficiently? Also, how can we help to identify hybrids that are likely to perform better under drought stress prior to conducting large-scale, expensive yield tests?
Microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) technology has enabled numerous inexpensive microscale devices in the consumer electronics and automotive markets and also has been extensively studied to advance biomedicine and healthcare. However, MEMS sensors have been under-researched for applications in the area of plant science and agriculture that have huge social and economic impacts. In this talk, I will discuss several MEMS-based devices for high-throughput plant phenotyping and digital agriculture, including plant nutrient sensors, soil nutrient sensors, wearable plant sensors, soil water potential sensors, plant chips, and nematode sensors. These devices will facilitate breeding of crop varieties with high nitrogen and water use efficiencies, studying of plant responses under different environmental conditions, and screening of chemical resistance of agricultural nematodes. In the end, I will share some thoughts on the future of this exciting new area.
