Managing natural resources and mainstreaming biodiversity across agriculture sectors are keys towards a sustainable agriculture focused on resource efficiency. Vapour Pressure Deficit (VPD) is considered the main driving force of water movements in the plant vascular system, however the tools available to monitor this parameter are usually based on environmental monitoring. The driving motif of this paper is the development of an in-vivo sensor to monitor the effects of VPD changes in the plant. We have used an in vivo sensor, termed \u201cbioristor\u201d, to continuously monitor the changes occurring in the sap ion\u2019s status when plants experience different VPD conditions and we observed a specific R (sensor response) trend in response to VPD. The possibility to directly monitor the physiological changes occurring in the plant in different VPD conditions, can be used to increase efficiency of the water management in controlled conditions thus achieving a more sustainable use of natural resources.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s19214667","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,10,28]],"date-time":"2019-10-28T08:44:31Z","timestamp":1572252271000},"page":"4667","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":38,"title":["Development of an In Vivo Sensor to Monitor the Effects of Vapour Pressure Deficit (VPD) Changes to Improve Water Productivity in Agriculture"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"19","author":[{"given":"Filippo","family":"Vurro","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Istituto dei materiali per l\u2019elettronica e il magnetismo (IMEM-CNR) Parco Area delle Scienze 37\/A, 43124 Parma, Italy"}]},{"ORCID":"http:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3414-1122","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Michela","family":"Janni","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Istituto dei materiali per l\u2019elettronica e il magnetismo (IMEM-CNR) Parco Area delle Scienze 37\/A, 43124 Parma, Italy"},{"name":"Istituto di Bioscienze e Biorisorse (IBBR-CNR) Via Amendola 165\/A, 70126 Bari, Italy"}]},{"given":"Nicola","family":"Copped\u00e8","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Istituto dei materiali per l\u2019elettronica e il magnetismo (IMEM-CNR) Parco Area delle Scienze 37\/A, 43124 Parma, Italy"}]},{"ORCID":"http:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1724-6301","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Francesco","family":"Gentile","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Electrical Engineering and Information Technology, University Federico II, 80138 Naples, Italy"}]},{"given":"Riccardo","family":"Manfredi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Istituto dei materiali per l\u2019elettronica e il magnetismo (IMEM-CNR) Parco Area delle Scienze 37\/A, 43124 Parma, Italy"}]},{"given":"Manuele","family":"Bettelli","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Istituto dei materiali per l\u2019elettronica e il magnetismo (IMEM-CNR) Parco Area delle Scienze 37\/A, 43124 Parma, Italy"}]},{"given":"Andrea","family":"Zappettini","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Istituto dei materiali per l\u2019elettronica e il magnetismo (IMEM-CNR) Parco Area delle Scienze 37\/A, 43124 Parma, Italy"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,10,28]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"FAO (2013).
