Abstract Real-time monitoring of plant immune responses is crucial for understanding immunity and mitigating economic losses from pathogen pest attacks. However, current methods relying on molecular-level assessment are destructive time-consuming. Here, we report an ultrathin, substrate-free, highly conductive electronic tattoo (e-tattoo) designed plants, enabling response through non-invasive electrical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The e-tattoo’s biocompatibility, high conductivity, sub-100 nm thickness allow it to conform leaf tissue morphology provide robust data. We demonstrate continuous EIS analysis live transgenic Arabidopsis thaliana plants over 24 h, capturing the onset NLR-mediated acute within three hours post-induction, prior visible symptoms. RNA-seq ion leakage tests validate that data accurately represent physiological molecular changes associated with activation. This tissue-assessment technology has potential enhance our comprehension activation mechanisms in paves way real-time health management.
