A feather-light touch can trigger a chain reaction in a plant in less than a minute. Researchers at Lund University have identified the molecular signaling pathway that links mechanical stimulation to changes in plant genes and growth. Plants cannot run away when the wind picks up, rain lashes down, or a hungry herbivore begins chewing on their leaves. Instead, they must sense their surroundings a

En fjäderlätt smekning kan sätta i gång en känslomässig kedjereaktion i en växt på mindre än en minut. Forskare vid Lunds universitet har identifierat den molekylära signalväg som kopplar mekanisk påverkan till förändringar i växtens gener och tillväxt. Växter kan inte springa undan när vinden tilltar, regnet piskar eller en växtätare med slöa ögon och glupande aptit börjar tugga på deras blad. I
