Response of plant bioelectric potential due to wind intensity

Abstract

Plant can recognize the environmental factors, for example temperature, humidity, atmospheric pressure and light intensity. Humans can identify the capabilities by measuring the plant bioelectrical potential. It can also recognize the breezing wind. Plants can be regarded as an environmental sensor by using the potential. In this study, the bioelectrical potential characteristic to the wind grade was examined. As for the results, the correlation between the characteristic and the grade was derived. The correlation coefficient was very high. The integrated value for the potential was adopted to derive the relation. Plant can identify the wind intensity by adopting the value. It became obvious that plant has higher capabilities to sense the environmental factors not only temperature, humidity and light intensity but also wind intensity. The application field of plant will spread by using these results.
