In this work, I will briefly introduce the biology of long-distance signals and the current state of understanding. I will then: 1. Develop a poroelastic transport model that captures the poroelastic relaxation of the plant tissue subjected to water stress perturbations; 2. Identify dimensionless groups that characterize different regimes of the system and discuss their dependence on plant properties (i.e., cell wall elasticity, cell-to-cell coupling); 3. Confront the model with experimentally available data; and 4. Guide a design of experiments needed to understand the molecular mechanisms and potential sensors responsible for decoding the long-distance signals.
