Nonrandom bioelectrical signals in plant tissue.

چکیده
The results of investigations on nonevoked bioelectrical activity in the India-rubber tree (Ficus elastica) are presented. Metal electrodes inserted into the plant issue were used as the ionic-to-electronic conduction converting elements. Nonevoked pulse bursts were observed with amplitudes in the 10 to 200 microvolts range. An upper limit value of the cell refractory period has been estimated from the maximum pulse frequency observed.

The Mechanisms of Immunomodulation in Acupuncture
Multiple recent studies have highlighted the role of bioelectric signals in large-scale pattern formation in the body’s spatial structure and organs, and in organ phylogenesis and ontogenesis, during embryogenesis and regeneration [1-5]. These signals form one layer of physiological control and work in conjunction with biochemical and genetic pathways [6-10]. The bioelectrical state of cells an...
متن کاملA Simple Bioelecrical Signal Simulator for Measurement Device Testing
− A very simple PC based system for simulation of bioelectrical signals is presented. In addition to a regular PC with an audio card and the constructed software only few passive components are needed to accurately mimic the waveforms of the original recorded bioelectrical signals stored in the PC’s hard drive. Alternatively, the simulated signals that are generated from the original recordings...
متن کاملBioelectrical Signals and Ion Channels in the Modeling of Multicellular Patterns and Cancer Biophysics
Bioelectrical signals and ion channels are central to spatial patterns in cell ensembles, a problem of fundamental interest in positional information and cancer processes. We propose a model for electrically connected cells based on simple biological concepts: i) the membrane potential of a single cell characterizes its electrical state; ii) the long-range electrical coupling of the multicellul...
متن کاملDrift removal in plant electrical signals via IIR filtering using wavelet energy
Plant electrical signals often contains low frequency drifts with or without the application of external stimuli. Quantification of the randomness in plant signals in a stimulus-specific way is hindered because the knowledge of vital frequency information in the actual biological response is not known yet. Here we design an optimum Infinite Impulse Response (IIR) filter which removes the low fr...
متن کاملMolecular bioelectricity: how endogenous voltage potentials control cell behavior and instruct pattern regulation in vivo
In addition to biochemical gradients and transcriptional networks, cell behavior is regulated by endogenous bioelectrical cues originating in the activity of ion channels and pumps, operating in a wide variety of cell types. Instructive signals mediated by changes in resting potential control proliferation, differentiation, cell shape, and apoptosis of stem, progenitor, and somatic cells. Of im...
