Plants are sessile, highly sensitive organisms that actively
compete for environmental resources both above and below the
ground. They assess their surroundings, estimate how much energy
they need for particular goals, and then realise the optimum
variant. They take measures to control certain environmental
resources. They perceive themselves and can distinguish between
'self' and 'non-self'. They process and evaluate information and
then modify their behaviour accordingly. These highly diverse
competences are made possible by parallel sign(alling)-mediated
communication processes within the plant body (intraorganismic),
between the same, related and different species (interorganismic),
and between plants and non-plant organisms (transorganismic).
Intraorganismic communication involves sign-mediated interactions
within cells (intracellular) and between cells (intercellular).
This is crucial in coordinating growth and development, shape and
dynamics. Such communication must function both on the local level
and between widely separated plant parts. This allows plants to
coordinate appropriate response behaviours in a differentiated
manner, depending on their current developmental status and
physiological influences. Lastly, this volume documents how plant
ecosphere inhabitants communicate with each other to coordinate
their behavioural patterns, as well as the role of viruses in these
highly dynamic interactional networks.
