These necessitate not just a revival of plant electrophysiology and sensory biology, but also the introduction of plant neurobiology, which includes also plant sensory ecology (Baluska et al. In the last few years, however, there have been numerous advances in plant sciences. Sensory plant biology and plant el- trophysiology were two lively disciplines until the late 1970s (Bunning 1959 Haupt and Feinleib 1979) but then, for somewhat obscure reasons, they showed no further development. Although genes are critical, the final form and architecture of above-ground organs, and es- cially of root systems, are determined by their sensory activities associated with motoric responses (Friml 2003 Hodge 2009). They continuously monitor diverse biotic and abiotic parameters of their environment and these sensory perceptions shape their organs and bodies.
Plants are unique as their development and morphogenesis are plastic throughout their lives.
