Communication in Plants Neuronal Aspects of Plant Life

Communication in Plants Neuronal Aspects of Plant Life / edited by František Baluška, Stefano Mancuso, Dieter Volkmann.

Plant neurobiology is a newly emerging field of plant sciences. It covers signalling and communication at all levels of biological organization – from molecules up to ecological communities. In this book, plants are presented as intelligent and social organisms with complex forms of communication an...
