FUNGAL DIVERSE PROGENY. “On the other hand, from any given cross, say A1B1 by A2B2, because two MAT loci segregate independently four different types of progeny are produced (A1B1, A2B2, A1B2, and A2B1) and these systems are therefore called tetrapolar mating systems.” https://lnkd.in/dn4azG7 View in LinkedIn

AUXIN SIGNALS. "Yet auxin is detected as an extracellular signal at the plant synapse in order to react to light and gravity. In a different context, it also serves as an extracellular messenger substance to send electrical signals; while in yet another, it functions as a synchronisation signal for cell division." https://lnkd.in/d3eE69g View in LinkedIn

PLANT NEUROTRANSMITTERS. "Plants use neurotransmitter-like auxin and, presumably, neurotransmitters such as glutamate, glycine, histamine, acetylcholine, dopamine — all of which they also produce themselves." https://lnkd.in/d3eE69g View in LinkedIn

CHEMICAL SIGNS. "In the world of plant biology, as in the world of animal biology, chemical molecules are often used as signs. Such molecules, whether in a solid, liquid or gaseous form, function as signals, messenger substances, information carriers and memory media, in order to organise internal life processes." https://lnkd.in/d3eE69g View in LinkedIn

CHEMICAL COMMUNICATION. "The amount of chemical communication that takes place within and between plants is complex. More than 20 different groups of molecules having communicatory functions have currently been identified, and up to 100,000 different substances, known as secondary metabolites, are actively used in the root zone." https://lnkd.in/d3eE69g View in LinkedIn

“PLANTS COMMUNICATE by releasing volatile organic compounds picked up by their neighbors, and through the root mycorrhizal system. In both cases, neighboring plants respond in minutes to these signals. Could we learn to tap into these communication highways?” https://lnkd.in/duy7ajr View in LinkedIn

PLANTS ARE SMART. "Though plants possess nothing even remotely like brains, they can nevertheless communicate, measure time, and even use camouflage. They may not be thinking in a way that we'd recognize, but our chlorophyll-saturated pals are certainly doing a lot more than sitting around splitting water molecules." https://lnkd.in/dDKNfWm View in LinkedIn

INFORMATION MOLECULES. "These mRNAs can control the levels of other proteins, and the status of such levels contain information for local tissues, for example, about the general physical condition of the plant, the season, or the presence of dangerous enemies." https://lnkd.in/d3eE69g View in LinkedIn
