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), ...

Imagine if a plant in a farmer's field could warn a grower that it needs water? Or if a farmer could signal to plants that dry weather lies ahead, thereby prompting the plants to conserve water? It ...

New research has found when plant leaves physically touch each other, they seem to form a biological signalling network to warn each other about the upcoming stress. This can boost their resilience to ...

Botanical sensors are turning greenery into living data networks while monitoring plant health and optimizing yields.
