Exploring the complex information processes underlying plant behavior

Abstract
En 中文
Newly discovered plant behaviors, linked to historical observations, contemporary technologies, and emerging knowledge of signaling mechanisms, argue that plants utilize complex information processing systems. Plants are goal-oriented in an evolutionary and physiological sense; they demonstrate agency and learning. While most studies on plant plasticity, learning, and memory deal with the responsiveness of individual plants to resource availability and biotic stresses, adaptive information is often perceived from and coordinated with neighboring plants, while competition occurs for limited resources. Based on existing knowledge, technologies, and sustainability principles, climate-smart agricultural practices are now being adopted to enhance crop resilience and productivity. A deeper understanding of the dynamics of plant behavior offers a rich palette of potential amelioration strategies for improving the productivity and health of natural and agricultural ecosystems.
