plant signaling
Plant signaling refers to the complex ways in which plants communicate with each other and their environment. This communication can involve chemical signals, such as hormones and volatile organic compounds, which help plants respond to stress, attract pollinators, or warn neighboring plants of threats like pests.
Additionally, plants can use electrical signals to transmit information rapidly across their tissues. This signaling allows them to coordinate responses to environmental changes, such as drought or injury, ensuring their survival and adaptation. Overall, plant signaling is essential for growth, development, and interaction with other organisms in their ecosystem.
