Schematic representation of the network modeling for a luminescent ABA biosensor system in plants. The model involves three key steps: a Transmission (Tx)—Internalization of engineered E. coli (PYR1) through plant roots facilitated by secreted proteins; b Propagation through Channel—Movement of biofilms and ABA (Abscisic Acid) through xylem vessels, aided by water transport; c Reception (Rx)—Localization at the target site, where chemotactic response ensures desired biosensor functionality
