Opinion: Information processing and distributed computation in plant organs ($) (Trends Plant Sci)
Plant Science Research WeeklyThe great strides we’ve made in understanding how plants perceive their environment, from light to pathogens to nutrients, haven't been matched with an understanding of what they do with all that information; how do so many inputs get integrated into a single or few responses? And how does the information…
