Abstract

Molecular Communication (MC) studies the transport of information encoded in signaling molecules. To date, its application field is mainly restrained to health-related uses. However, MC in plants has been gaining increasing interest. The primary transport route in plant cell-to-cell communication are Plasmodesmata (PDs), pore-like structures dotting the plant cell wall. PDs opening state is influenced by several environmental damaging factors (i.e., plant viruses), and plant cells try to restore homeostasis through defense mechanisms. In this letter, we seek to depict the complexity of plant-based communication, and we propose a simple model that proves the influence of the PDs number and opening state in the transport of information in plants.

质粒数量和开放状态对植物分子转运的影响

分子通讯（MC）研究信号分子中编码的信息的传输。迄今为止，其应用领域主要局限于与健康相关的用途。然而，植物中的MC越来越受到人们的关注。植物细胞间通讯的主要运输途径是质体，即散布在植物细胞壁上的孔状结构。PD的开放状态受到几种环境破坏因素（即植物病毒）的影响，植物细胞试图通过防御机制恢复体内平衡。在这封信中，我们试图描述基于植物的通信的复杂性，并提出了一个简单的模型，证明了PDs数量和开放状态对植物信息传输的影响。

期刊介绍： As a result of recent advances in MEMS/NEMS and systems biology, as well as the emergence of synthetic bacteria and lab/process-on-a-chip techniques, it is now possible to design chemical “circuits”, custom organisms, micro/nanoscale swarms of devices, and a host of other new systems. This success opens up a new frontier for interdisciplinary communications techniques using chemistry, biology, and other principles that have not been considered in the communications literature. The IEEE Transactions on Molecular, Biological, and Multi-Scale Communications (T-MBMSC) is devoted to the principles, design, and analysis of communication systems that use physics beyond classical electromagnetism. This includes molecular, quantum, and other physical, chemical and biological techniques; as well as new communication techniques at small scales or across multiple scales (e.g., nano to micro to macro; note that strictly nanoscale systems, 1-100 nm, are outside the scope of this journal). Original research articles on one or more of the following topics are within scope: mathematical modeling, information/communication and network theoretic analysis, standardization and industrial applications, and analytical or experimental studies on communication processes or networks in biology. Contributions on related topics may also be considered for publication. Contributions from researchers outside the IEEE’s typical audience are encouraged.
