Abstract: Electrical signals in plants were first documented in the mid-19th century. In response to insect attacks, plants generate electrical signals that spread throughout the plant body and trigger physiological, biochemical and molecular responses. Arabidopsis has been used as a model plant in the past several decades. In this mini review, we will address the current understanding of electrical signaling in Arabidopsis and its physiological and biochemical impacts during herbivore attacks.
