Description
By the targeted insertion of DNA snippets, plants develop cell assemblies during the growth phase with which information processing is possible using electrical signals. Commands can be encoded in the DNA - similar to a program of a microprocessor in a flash memory. Plants can generate (bioluminescence) and receive light signals and use them to communicate with each other and with electronic devices. The information processing of a single plant is slower than today's microprocessors, but plants can reproduce themselves. And since the plants can communicate with each other, massively parallel information processing is possible.
