Phytosemiotics
In this article we are going to explore Phytosemiotics from different perspectives, analyzing its impact on today's society and its relevance in various areas. Phytosemiotics has been an object of study and interest throughout history, which leads us to reflect on its influence on the modern world. Through a deep and detailed analysis, we will try to shed light on the different aspects that surround it, from its history to its possible evolution in the future. The goal is to provide a complete and enriching overview that allows us to better understand the role Phytosemiotics plays in our daily lives.
Phytosemiotics is a branch of biosemiotics that studies the sign processes in plants, or more broadly, the vegetative semiosis. Vegetative semiosis is a type of sign processes that occurs at cellular and tissue level, including cellular recognition, plant perception, plant signal transduction, intercellular communication, immunological processes, etc.
The term 'phytosemiotics' was introduced by Martin Krampen in 1981.
