A plant disease, typically one caused by fungi such as mildews, rusts, and smuts.
Example: The wearable sensor patch was used to diagnose tomato late blight as early as 4 days post inoculation and abiotic stresses such as mechanical damage within 1 h.

colorimetric
adjective
An instrument that measures the concentration of a known constituent of a solution by comparison with colors of standard solutions of that constituent.
Example: Compared with our previously reported colorimetric sensor array, 34 the LODs of the wearable VOC sensors were improved by 2- to 10-fold for all tested VOCs except for (E)-2-hexenal (Figure S6B).
discrepancy
noun
An illogical or surprising lack of compatibility or similarity between two or more facts.
Example: Trends in the sensor response are consistent with the chemical and physical properties of different carbon materials: compared with GO and MWCNTs, rGO and SWCNTs have higher conductivity, larger surface areas, and less discrepancy in surface chemistry (higher product purity).
elucidate
verb
Make (something) clear; explain.
Example: Finite element analysis (FEA) was also carried out to elucidate the strain effect.
kirigami
noun
The art, originally Japanese, of folding and cutting paper into decorative shapes.
Example: The sensor patch was insensitive to common mechanical perturbations such as wind blowing and hand touching as a result of the stretchable kirigami-based substrate.
perturbation
noun
A deviation of a system, moving object, or process from its regular or normal state or path, caused by an outside influence.
Example: The environmental perturbations from temperature and humidity were also investigated.
pristine
adjective
In its original condition; unspoilt.
Example: As a comparison, pristine rGO without any surface functionalization showed nearly no response to the gas analyte.
scribing
noun
Mark with a pointed instrument.
Example: The kirigami structure was fabricated by CO 2 laser scribing.
strain
noun
A force tending to pull or stretch something to an extreme or damaging degree.
Example: During stretching in the longitudinal direction (main leaf vein direction), the kirigami structure would absorb most of the strain while the islands would take nearly zero strain.
thoroughly
adverb
Completely; in a way that includes many details.
Example: Six probe molecules (Figure S1B), including four halothiophenols (ITP [iodothiophenol], BPT [bromothiophenol], CTP [chlorothiophenol], and FTP [fluoro-thiophenol]), a nitrothiophenol (NTP; hydrogen interaction), and a methoxythiophenol (MTP; control) were first attached to the surface of AuNPs (Figure 1B), and then mixed thoroughly with rGO substrates using the ball-milling technique.
