Electrochemistry of plants: basic theoretical research and applications in plant science

Electrochemistry of plants can be viewed as a multifaceted research fields including electrophysiological studies around signaling in plants and those associated with the interaction of plants with the environment. Apart from botanic, this research can be implemented into agriculture, food chemistry, ecology, climatology, and other fields with a variety of applications. Vegetal matter can also be applied in sensors, transducers, and as a source for preparing materials to be applied in sensing, energy production, and storage. These aspects are shortly reviewed, including those specifically dealing with solid-state electrochemistry and their capabilities in regard to chemoecological and phylogenetic issues.
