Before we ever saw the first animal, serotonin existed in all plant types. One might even say that serotonin itself may be coupled with the transformation in evolution with life itself.
When talking about plants, serotonin has been said to have been involved in the major physical roles of a plants developments, such as the flowering of a plant, the development of structural features of the plant (also known as morphogenesis), and it also has a role in how the plant itself adapts to its surroundings.
It has also been discovered that serotonin-like molecules helps photosynthesis to take place in a plant, by guiding the growth of the plant directly to its light sources.
Susan J.Murch, a biomed expert, has recently provided evidence that there is a balance between the concentration of metabolic nitrogenous elements, such as serotonin, in cells and tissues (endogenous concentration) and that of a hormone secreted by the pineal gland in inverse proportion to the amount of light received by the retina (melatonin) has actually adapted plant morphogenesis In artificial insemination.
Even though we know so much about how serotonin aids a plant and how it helps it adapt to its surroundings, we still know very little about its molecular level.
Slyplants provides a chance for scientists to purchase such chemicals which are quite hard to find at such a high quality. We provide opportunities for scientists to continue further research towards this chemical. As we believe that there is so much more to discover about these chemicals and their relationships with other chemicals, serotonin and plant life.
