Visualizing how a plant's leaves, stem and roots mutually communicate under environmental stress in real time
How do the different parts of an adult plant communicate with each other when it suffers an injury, is waterlogged, burnt or exposed to environmental stress? Today we can answer this question thanks to an innovative optical imaging system developed by the Università degli Studi di Milano (University of Milan) together with the Politecnico di Milano. The study is published in Science Advances.
