Description for Biocommunication of Plants
Hardcover. This book shows how plants assess their surroundings, estimate their energy needs for specific goals, and communicate with each other to coordinate behavioral patterns. Coverage includes the role of viruses in these highly dynamic interactional networks. Editor(s): Witzany, Gunther; Baluska, F. Series: Signaling and Communication in Plants. Num Pages: 396 pages, biography. BIC Classification: PSTD; PSTS. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 242 x 166 x 26. Weight in Grams: 732.
Plants are sessile, highly sensitive organisms that actively compete for environmental resources both above and below the ground. They assess their surroundings, estimate how much energy they need for particular goals, and then realise the optimum variant. They take measures to control certain environmental resources. They perceive themselves and can distinguish between ‘self’ and ‘non-self’. They process and evaluate information and then modify their behaviour accordingly. These highly diverse competences are made possible by parallel sign(alling)-mediated communication processes within the plant body (intraorganismic), between the same, related and different species (interorganismic), and between plants and non-plant organisms (transorganismic). Intraorganismic communication ... Read more
