Plant Signaling

Fri, 06 Mar 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Plants produce and respond to chemical, electrical, and mechanical signals continuously. They coordinate their own development, defend against herbivores and pathogens, attract pollinators, and exchange information with neighboring plants and soil organisms. None of this requires a nervous system. Plant signaling operates through hormone transport, volatile organic compounds, electrical impulses, and peptide signals, using receptor proteins and kinase cascades that are structurally and functionally distinct from animal signaling systems but no less sophisticated.
