SignificanceNumerous modes of long-distance electrical signaling exist in nature. The best known of these, axonal conduction, requires one primary cell population, i.e., neurons. In contrast, the cell types that mediate leaf-to-leaf electrical signaling in wounded plants have not been defined rigorously. Using genetic approaches, we find that two distinct populations of cells in the vasculature matrix are needed to perform this function. Surprisingly, these cells do not contact each other directly. As we further defined the plant wound response, we found that wound-induced membrane depolarizations preceded large intravasculature calcium fluxes. We reveal a two-cell-type mode of electrical signaling in leaves and discuss parallels and differences in electrical signaling outside the plant kingdom.
