FAMOUS EXPERIMENTS of dodder plants, testing their ability to 'smell' a tomato plant to parasitize. "Plants detect a volatile chemical in the air, and they convert this signal (albeit nerve-free) into a physiological response. Surely this could be considered olfaction." (Chamovitz). https://lnkd.in/ebihGuY View in LinkedIn

"ELECTROCHEMICAL EXCITATION is caused by ionic fluxes through the cell plasma membrane, creating an electric charge modification in the membrane itself, as well as a differential charge on either side. Plant plasma membranes always maintain a potential, the cell interior being more negative than the exterior, arising mainly from the activity of electrogenic pumps." https://lnkd.in/e6_VTMg View in LinkedIn

PLANT ACTION POTENTIALS. "The existence of electrophysiological mechanisms for information perception, transmission and processing between different plant organs and tissues, allowing the expression of fast and accurate physiological reactions to specific biotic or abiotic stimuli, is expressed by means of real-time detectable action (APs) and variation (VPs) potentials." https://lnkd.in/e6_VTMg View in LinkedIn
