When plants light up: fungal bioluminescence pathway–based sentinel systems for autonomous virus diagnostics

Sensor-based systems for detecting plant pathogens may provide field-ready alternatives to conventional, destructive, laboratory-based methods. This highlight examines a recent study that engineered a sensor system for detecting potyviruses via a bioluminescent color shift in Nicotiana benthamiana. This system incorpor...
