Phytosemiotics

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Phytosemiotics is a branch of biosemiotics that studies the sign processes in plants, or more broadly, the vegetative semiosis. Vegetative semiosis is a primitive type of sign processes that occurs at cellular and tissue level, including plant perception, plant signal transduction, etc.


The term 'phytosemiotics' has been introduced by Martin Krampen in 1981.
