Plants have evolved various ways to respond to stimuli (irritability) which are less movement-intensive. The earlier observations on irritability were explained using the laws o f physics and natural science. With the progress o f various ‘omics’ tools, the irritability o f plants is now being elucidated in the light o f genes, small RNA molecules and various other signal molecules like peptides, lipids and phytohormones. This science has now become more sophisticated into plant neurobiology with parallels being drawn from animal neurotransmitters, synapses, brain and cognition. Here we discuss the advent and prospects ofplant neurobiology.
