User:Biology Brooke/Plant communication

Notes on current content:


 * Existing "Volatile communication" section with terpene sub-section: too focused in on a specific study with dodder, doesn't supply enough general background info or broad examples.
 * The existing "below ground communication" section includes "chemical cues" and "mycorrhizal networks".
 * The other sections in the article are "electrical signaling" and "below ground communication". I think there should be some continuity with these header names and with the scale of them to make the article more comprehensive.

Lead improvement notes: Communication= signals being send by the plant and then received by some organism (plant, microbe, animal, insect, etc.) that then invokes a reaction/response (attracted, repelled, harmed, etc.)

Volatile organic compounds

 * Floral and root volatiles
 * Volatile organic compounds are organic chemical molecules both produced and received by plants that act as signals in beneficial interactions, or communication, between plants and a variety of organisms such as microbes, animals, insects, and other plants.
 * Plant-plant
 * Plant microbe (including mycorrhiza, which is already a heading...)
 * Plant-insect (focus on pollinators since plant communication is the beneficial interaction side of chemical signaling (vs plant defense/allelopathy)
