Long-Distance Systemic Signaling and Communication in Plants
Our view of plants is changing dramatically. Rather than being only slowly responding organisms, their signaling is often very fast and signals, both of endogenous and exogenous origin, spread throughout plant bodies rapidly. Higher plants coordinate and

Preface
Higher plants coordinate and integrate their tissues and organs via diverse longdistance signalling and communication circuits. Sophisticated sensory systems sensitively screen both internal and external factors and feed sensory information into chemical and physical systemic long-distance communication cascades. Obviously, our view of plants is changing dramatically. We realize that their longdistance signalling is fast, and signals, both of endogenous and exogen
