摘要
Cells in plants, like in animals, constantly communicate with one another to coordinate their cellular activities in response to surrounding environmental conditions. Higher plants are multicellular organisms. A plant is originated from a single fertilized egg, which eventually develops into an intact individual with all necessary tissues and organs. Cell-to-cell communication is therefore especially critical throughout its life span, from embryo development, to tissue and organ formation, and finally to flowering and senescence, in addition.
