A Mathematical Approach For Understanding Intra-plant Communication

This article was written by Ingrid Fadelli and discusses the development of a mathematical approach for understanding intra-plant communication. Researchers at the Gran Sasso Science Institute (GSSI) and Istituto Italiano di Technologia have proposed "... a fully coupled system of non-linear, non-autonomous discontinuous and ordinary differential equations that can accurately describe the adapting behavior and growth of a single plant, by analyzing the main stimuli affecting plant behavior." This article briefly discusses the research related to the development of the mathematical model.
