Plant sensing refers to the mechanisms by which plants detect and respond to environmental signals such as light, touch, gravity, temperature, and chemical cues. Understanding these sensory pathways is fundamental to plant science because they govern critical processes including growth orientation, stress responses, and adaptation to changing conditions. Research into plant sensing reveals how organisms without nervous systems can integrate complex environmental information to optimize survival and reproduction.
