Abstract
A system and method are disclosed for delivering information from a central controller to nanoscale sensors embedded within plant tissues and receiving information back from these sensors. The approach uses localized nanoparticles to encode binary or discrete signals, enabling remote monitoring and control of plant-associated nanoscale devices. The method preserves selective targeting of individual sensors without relying on long-range electromagnetic propagation, diffusion across large distances, or microcontrollers attached to each nanosensor. The disclosed methods cover the flow of information between the controller and nanosensors, while specific designs of proboscis-inspired delivery mechanisms or controller hardware remain open for further innovation. This disclosure is submitted as a defensive publication through the Technical Disclosure Commons (TD Commons) to establish prior art and prevent others from patenting the concepts described herein. The content of this disclosure is made publicly available and provides technical details sufficient to document the invention for prior art purposes.
