“…One recent suggestion is that continuous electrical signalling could allow communication between organs (de Toledo et al, 2019; Sukhov, Sukhova, & Vodeneev, 2019). Electric stimuli have been shown to be conducted through the soil, exchanged between neighbouring plants, and to invoke electrical signals in the receiver, whether con‐ or heterospecific (Volkov & Shtessel, 2017; Volkov & Shtessel, 2018; Volkov, Toole, & WaMaina, 2019). In principle, electrical cues could be used to detect neighbours, and moreover to assess the competitive abilities of neighbours, since there is a relationship between electrical activity and the physiological state of the plant.…”

“…The approach of Chen and colleagues creates new opportunities for exploring the fundamental processes involved in the electrical signal generation, transduction and communication that occurs within plants, and also between them (a system that has been termed the plant wide web 4 ). Recent research has also seen the development of a number of plant-based robots 3,5-8 , memristors 9 and sensors 2,4 , and the work of Chen and colleagues provides a valuable addition in the push to create such novel devices and systems. Plant-based systems could, in particular, be of use in the development of sensors for environmental monitoring (such as the detection of pollutants, pesticides and defoliants), providing detection systems with greater sensitivity and specificity than their synthetic counterparts.…”

“…There are many possible pathways for plants underground communication [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8]: (1) electrical signal transmission [1][2][3][4]; (2) mycorrhizal networks in the soil [5]; (3) the plants' rhizosphere (root ball) [6]; (4) naturally grafting of roots of the same species [7]; (5) chemical signaling between roots of plants [8,9]; (6) acoustic communication [10,11]. Recently we found that there is a ultrafast electrical signal transmission between neighboring plantsfast underground electrical signal propagation between roots through the soil [2,3].…”

“…Electrostimulation of a plant by a square pulse from a function generator or a battery induces percussive electrotonic signals along the same plant and in other plants in the same pot (Figure 1). Soil can work as an electrical conductor between roots of plants [1][2][3][4]24]. To avoid root-to-root connections or mycorrhizal networks between plants, we connected soil near plants in different pots by a platinum or silver wire.…”
