biophysical-plant-signaling
Biophysical plant signaling is the study of how physical forces and mechanical cues — such as touch, pressure, turgor changes, and electrical gradients — are sensed and transmitted within plants to coordinate growth, defense, and development. Unlike purely biochemical signals, these biophysical mechanisms operate across membranes and tissues through ion channels, mechanosensitive receptors, and electrical action potentials. Understanding these processes reveals how plants integrate environmental stimuli at the cellular and organismal level, with implications for improving stress resilience and responses to physical disturbances.
