"THE MOVEMENT PROTEIN allows the mRNA to enter the plasmodesmata tunnel and thereby move into the phloem flow (phloem is a specific plant tissue important for nutrition transport). Once the mRNA has entered this transport system, it can reach all parts of the plant relatively rapidly." https://lnkd.in/d3eE69g View in LinkedIn

DISTANCE COMMUNICATION. "For long-distance signalling, so-called 'movement proteins’ perform an important role in plants. Movement proteins convey information bearing RNA from the stem and leaves to the remote roots and flowers." https://lnkd.in/d3eE69g View in LinkedIn

"PLASMODESMATA integrate various communication types and functions, as allowing for both local and long-distance communication." https://lnkd.in/d3eE69g View in LinkedIn

GATEWAY. "Plant cells are connected by plasmodesmata. These connecting channels enable the flow of small molecules as well as ions, metabolites and hormones, and allow the selective exchange (size-exclusion limit) of macromolecules such as proteins, RNAs and even cell bodies." https://lnkd.in/d3eE69g View in LinkedIn

NEIGHBOR MEMORY. "Plants that are removed and planted elsewhere appear to ‘remember’ the identity of their former closest neighbours for several months." https://lnkd.in/d3eE69g View in LinkedIn

ROOT EXUDATES. "Plants use such biotic signals to inform each other about the presence, absence and identity of neighbouring plants, growth space, growth disturbances and competition." https://lnkd.in/d3eE69g View in LinkedIn

NUANCED. "Mechanically injured plants emit substances that are ignored by neighbouring plants, i.e., do not trigger any kind of response behaviour, whereas these same plants all reacted immediately to communicated pest infestation." https://lnkd.in/d3eE69g View in LinkedIn

ORGANOGENESIS. "In the context of Intracellular signalling, auxin plays a role in organogenesis, i.e., cell development and differentiation. In the organogenesis of roots, for example, auxin enables cells to determine their position and establish their identity, while the cell wall and the organelles it contains help regulate the signal molecules." https://lnkd.in/d3eE69g View in LinkedIn
