Abstract:Electrical signals are generated and transmitted through plants in response to stimuli caused by factors localized in the external environment. Furthermore, these signals allow the whole plant structure to be informed almost instantly. By analyzing the electrical responses of a specific plant, it is possible to describe the impact of external aspects, such as insect infestation and light quality, in the plasma membrane potential, and identify the electrical signal origin. This project presents useful digital f… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
