The present invention relates to a method for in situ sensing of water stress in a plant by contacting a plant with a biosensor, where the biosensor comprises a material capable of giving a detectable response to changes in local water potential in the plant and detecting the detectable response thereby sensing water stress in the plant. The invention further relates to a method for determining water potential in a substance, a biosensor, a system for determining water potential in a substance, a method for determining water potential in a substance, a water potential measurement computing device, and a non-transitory computer readable medium having stored thereon instructions for determining water potential in a substance.

In situ sensing of water potential

Disclosed are devices, systems, apparatus, methods, products, and other implementations, including a method to detect pattern characteristics in target specimens that includes acquiring sensor data for the target specimens, dividing the acquired sensor data into a plurality of data segments, and generating, by multiple neural networks that each receives the plurality of data segments, multiple respective output matrices, with each data element of the multiple respective output matrices being representative of a probability that corresponding sensor data of a respective one of the plurality of data segments includes a pattern characteristic in the target specimens. The method further includes determining by another neural network, based on the multiple respective output matrices generated by the multiple neural networks, a presence of the pattern characteristic in the target specimens.
