The field of plant physics in India, which bridges plant biology and physical sciences, has seen significant growth over the years. Rooted in traditional knowledge, such as the Vedas and Ayurveda, India's historical engagement with plant studies laid the foundation for modern scientific exploration. The pioneering work of Sir Jagadish Chandra Bose in plant electrophysiology marked the formal beginning of plant physics in India. Post-independence, the establishment of institutions like the Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR) fostered research in plant physiology, leading to advancements in areas such as water transport, photosynthesis, and plant adaptation to climate change. Contemporary research focuses on mechanobiology and climate resilience, with increased collaboration between Indian and international institutes. The field continues to evolve, positioning India as a key contributor to global research in plant physics.
