Microorganisms
Reception by receptors, followed by activation of the culture's biological response.
Applications
Works on microorganisms, eukaryotic cells and crops.
The biomimetic signal is received by natural receptors — regardless of the class of organism. The same platform serves three different families of recipients.
Signal recipients
One biopolymer, three families of recipients.
Cells
The signal is recognised as authentic proliferative communication and multiple pathways are triggered at once.
Crops
Reception by receptors in above-ground tissue and roots, activating the plant's biological response.
The signaling biopolymer acts as an active communicator. The biomimetic signal is transmitted as a communication pattern and received by microorganisms, cells and crops — with no release of chemical substances.
Biomimetic input signal
Six pathways activated in crops.
The plant is the main recipient of the signal. Six main responses are triggered around it.
1
Mechanosensory pathways
Touch, wind, mechanical signals.
2
Gravitropic systems
Response to spatial orientation.
3
Mechanosensitive ion channels
Rapid response to a physical stimulus.
4
Ca²⁺ pathways
Secondary signal transmission.
5
Root sensory systems
Reading changes in the soil environment.
6
Abiotic stress MAPK cascades
Response to environmental stress.
