Instead, it is a swarm of disparate companies that share information, learn from each other's experiments and respond quickly to environmental signals.

Thus, elaborate intracellular-mechanisms based on environmental signals are present to regulate the formation of these cells.

They also produce compounds such as phytochrome that are sensitive to light and which serve to trigger growth or development in response to environmental signals.

"But what happens between these environmental signals and the hormone messages downstream is a black box that we're trying to penetrate."

Consequently, specific complexes can have ambiguous interactions, which vary according to the environmental signals.

This decision is based on factors like temperature, light intensity, presence of pollinators and other environmental signals.

The environmental signals come from the body's senses.

It is well known that a wide-variety of cell types change their behavior to mechanical environmental signals.

When the gene is overexpressed, the plant is less sensitive to environmental signals and flowers earlier.

It is thought that groups, when they are ready to spawn, use environmental signals to coordinate their timing.
