Аннотация:The present Master’s Degree project aims to compare two kinds of decentralized network structures: (i) networks composed of interconnected plants tissues and organs as well as of whole plant organisms and their groups that exchange signals enabling them to perceive information (e.g., about the invasion of insect pests); this paart of the project includes experimental research aimed at detecting intraorganismic neuroactive signals such as serotonin, dopamine, norepinephrine, and epinephrine, as well as their precursors and metabolites and (ii) networks formed by environmental activists that specialize in plant resource protection and, in an analogy to plants, set up decentralized distributed network structures which promote the local, regional, and global coordination of their efforts. This comparative study enables making organizational recommendations for environmental specialists that focus on plant conservation.
