Integration of Spintronic Hall Effect Sensors for Monitoring Ion Transport in Nigella sativa (Kalonji): A Novel Approach to Medicinal Plant Physiology

Abstract

Nigella sativa (Kalonji) is renowned for its bioactive compounds, which are heavily influenced by nutrient uptake and ionic regulation. This paper introduces a novel application of spintronic Hall effect sensors to monitor ion transport in Kalonji tissues. Using graphene-based Hall sensors integrated into plant roots and vascular tissues, we present a method for detecting real-time ionic flux and nutrient dynamics. Preliminary results show that the Hall effect sensors can measure ionic currents with high sensitivity, offering valuable insights into plant metabolic processes. This technology could significantly enhance the understanding of plant physiology and precision agriculture.
