BEYOND CAVITATION. "Although it remains undisputed that cavitation can induce acoustic emissions, the acoustic signals emitted by plants are so numerous that it always seemed extremely unlikely that each acoustic event was attributable to cavitation alone." http://beheco.oxfordjournals.org/content/24/4/789.full View in LinkedIn

MECHANICAL BOOMING. "Acoustic emissions are generally interpreted as the result of the abrupt release of tension in the water-transport system of plants following cavitation as water is pulled by transpiration from the roots through the xylem to the leaves." http://beheco.oxfordjournals.org/content/24/4/789.full View in LinkedIn

CLASSES OF SIGNALS. "Not only hydraulic and chemical signals, but also electrical signals act on the perception of environmental stimuli and trigger biochemical and physiological changes such as elongation, growth, water transport, displacement of substances in phloem, reduction of turgor pressure, variation of photosynthesis, respiration, and gene expression, mediating the relation between the plant and its external environment." http://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11738-015-1950-4 View in LinkedIn

MECHANICAL STIMULI. “The ability to sense and respond to a wide variety of mechanical stimuli—gravity, touch, osmotic pressure, or the resistance of the cell wall—is a critical feature of every plant cell, whether or not it is specialized for mechanotransduction.” https://lnkd.in/dazh-wp View in LinkedIn

PLANT ACTION POTENTIALS. "The majority of cells in different plant species are electrically active and excitable, being able to release and propagate action potentials (APs). These electrical signals even influence principal physiological processes such as photosynthesis and respiration." https://lnkd.in/eVTKbBi View in LinkedIn

"ELECTRICAL PHENOMENA in single plant cells are to a great extent very similar to those occurring in animal cells. All plant cells actively maintain an electrical cell membrane potential difference of −30 to −250 mV between the vacuole or cytosol and the external medium." https://lnkd.in/eVTKbBi View in LinkedIn
