Electrical excitability and signaling, frequently associated with rapid responses to environmental stimuli, have been documented in both animals and higher plants. The presence of electrical potentials (EPs), such as action ...

This paper demonstrates the oscillatory characteristics of electrical signals acquired from two ornamental plant types (Epipremnum pinnatum and Philodendron scandens - Family Araceae), using a noninvasive acquisition system. ...

The primary source of biogenic NO in the biosphere is energy metabolism within nitrifying and denitrifying bacteria, which are common inhabitants of the rhizosphere. NO produced by these bacteria regulates their mobility ...

The microbial community is surrounded by plants and this leads to an interaction between them. There are two types of microbials that interact with plant: beneficial microbes and pathogenic microbes. There is a relationship ...

Despite the fact that they are sessile organisms, plants actively move their organs and also use these movements to manipulate the surrounding biotic and abiotic environments. Plants maintain communication with neighboring ...

Plants have developed various mechanisms to respond specifically to each biotrophic attack. It has been shown that the electrical signals emitted by plants are associated with herbivory stress responses and can lead to the ...

The plant kingdom represents a valuable source of natural products of commercial interest. These compounds, named secondary metabolites, are not essential for the survival of plants, but confer them some advantages that ...

The role of sucrose as a signaling molecule in plants was originally proposed several decades ago. However, recognition of sucrose as a true signal has been largely debated and only recently this role has been fully accepted. ...
