Abstract: The study of plant bioelectricity has provided a unique perspective to understand how plants sense their environment and adjust their morphology, physiology and phenotype accordingly. In this review, we exhibit nanocellulose based novel dry cathodes reasonable for use as non-intrusive bioelectrical plant interfaces. These cathodes were particularly intended to screen plant electrochemistry without altogether irritating their physiology. Using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy enabled us to construct an equivalent circuit model to evaluate the performance of the electrodes. The preliminary characterization of the electrodes in vitro and in vivo using Arabidopsis thaliana provided promising results.
