ABSTRACT

The processes of life have been found to generate electric fields in every organism that has been examined with suitable and sufficiently sensitive measuring techniques [1, 2]. The electrochemical conduction of electrochemical excitation must be regarded as one of the most universal properties of living organisms. It arose in connection with the need for transmission of a signal about an external influence from one part of a biological system to another. The study of the nature of regulatory relations of the plant organism with the environment is a basic bioelectrochemical problem, one that has a direct bearing on tasks of controlling the growth and development of plants.
