WOOD WIDE WEB. "Every tree is linked to every other tree underground - the "wood wide web". Through these pathways they talk to each other and then behave in certain ways." Suzanne Simard is professor of forest ecology in the department of forest and conservation sciences at the University of British Columbia. http://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-34849374 View in LinkedIn

COORDINATED OSCILLATORS. “Around 70% of chloroplast transcripts can be circadian regulated. In plants, until recently the prevailing view was that circadian oscillators are locally-autonomous with a degree of cell type specialization. However, recent advances demonstrate that interactions occur between the circadian clocks of cells of individual tissues, different tissues, and different organs.” https://lnkd.in/dAX4kdh View in LinkedIn

WOOD-WIDE WEB. "Trees in a forest organize themselves into far-flung networks, using the underground web of mycorrhizal fungi which connects their roots to exchange information and even goods. This “wood-wide web,” as the title of one paper put it, allows scores of trees in a forest to convey warnings of insect attacks, and also to deliver carbon, nitrogen, and water to trees in need." https://lnkd.in/dvFaNgd View in LinkedIn

INFORMATION CONTROL. "Plasmodesmata controlling information flow. Plasmodesmatal connections enable movement of proteins and nucleic acids as well as smaller molecules between plant cells. Movement of transcription factors and nucleic acids has the potential to activate or repress genes in cells remote from the source by activation of DNA methylation or by mRNA translation; oligonucleotides with specific sequences can silence genes." http://aob.oxfordjournals.org/content/92/1/1.full View in LinkedIn

REGULATORY LOOPS. “In higher plants, there are circadian rhythms of photosynthesis that are controlled by the nuclear-encoded circadian oscillator. This implies that the nuclear-encoded circadian oscillator controls events within plastids through nucleus to plastid anterograde signaling.” https://lnkd.in/dAX4kdh View in LinkedIn
