Novel Biosensors Offer In Vivo RNA Imaging in Plants

RNA signals change rapidly as plants grow and adjust to their environment. Tracking these signals is difficult because traditional methods require collecting plant tissue at multiple points in time, which is slow, costly, and can miss key events. To address this, researchers developed a technology that detects specific RNA sequences and converts them into a measurable protein output, such as a fluorescent signal. This allows scientists to observe gene activity as it happens with the naked eye.
