In this manuscript, we propose that plants are eco-plastic and electromic interfaces that can
drive emergent intelligent behaviours from synchronized electrical networks. Behind the …

Nitrate (NO3-) is a key element for crop production but its levels in agricultural soils are
limited. Plants have developed mechanisms to cope with these NO3-fluctuations based on …
