Electrical signalling plays a pivotal role in how plants perceive and respond to their environment. Rapid electrical impulses, including action potentials (APs) and slower variation potentials (VPs), ...

Researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Chemical Ecology and the University of Kiel have provided experimental evidence ...

Learn how plants communicate through chemical signals, and why losing biodiversity can disrupt these hidden communication ...

Using newly generated 'optogenetic' tobacco plants, research teams have investigated how plants process external signals. When it comes to survival, plants have a huge disadvantage compared to many ...
