Nonrandom Bioelectrical Signals in Plant Tissue

AUTOR(ES)
RESUMO

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.
