 +  * [[https://www.novapublishers.com/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=16983 | Król E., Dziubińska H., and Trębacz K. (2010) What do plants need action potentials for?]] (Open Acess)\\
 +A very nice text on the question, nice to read and very complete. History, roles, pathways of transmissions, measure. 26 p.\\

 +===Friday 14/10/2011===
 +
 +  * Check for the result of the plant root experiment. The root has stopped to grow before entering the channel. Thinking about what to do now.
 +  * Reading an article about plant-microbe interaction\\
 +[[http://www.nature.com/msb/journal/v6/n1/pdf/msb201067.pdf| Goffin et al (2010) Understanding the physiology of Lactobacillus plantarum at zero growth]] (open access). In situations of low substrate availability, //Lactobacillus plantarum// bacteria (which often grows on plants) syhthetize plant hormones to 'tell' the plant to produce certain nutrients they need. Furthermore, //L. plantarum// also adapts its own metabolism to make use of those vegetal nutients.\\
 +  * short research discussion with Nik & Maja
 +
 +===Tuesday 27/09/2011===
 +
 +  * Making pictures and a libarynth page about the [[plant_roots_experiment|plant root experiment]].
 +
 +===Monday 26/09/2011===
 +
 +  * Finding a technical solution to connect the glass pipes to the plexiglas plate, in a watertight way. The experimental device is ready for a first test. A seed of cress is inserted in the 'input'.
 +
 +===Thursday 22/09/2011===
 +
 +  * Buying some material and testing different systems to ensure the watertightness of the fluidics device for the plant root experiment.
 +  * Browsing through the non-scientific web about 'communication with plants'.
 +
 +===Monday 19/09/2011===
 +
 +  * Reading the //book of abstracts// from the 1st symposium on Plant Neurobiology ([[http://www.plantbehavior.org/files/Symposia_BookofAbstracts.pdf|pdf file]] freely downloadable). An nice collection of scientific stories about plant communication.

 +  * Fist draft for a 'root-on-a-chip' design\\
 +
 +===Tuesday 06/09/2011===
 +
 +  * Analyse of the 20 first results a Google search about "communication avec les plantes"\\
 +° To see what is associated with that concept in the web-based popular culture.\\
 +° Identifying the main ideas that come repeatedly.\\
 +  * Update of the page about [[diy_biology|DIY biology]]\\
