The four key components of a circuit have been achieved using the xylem, leaves, veins, and signals of the plant as the template and integral part of the circuit elements and functions. We report analog and digital organic electronic circuits and devices manufactured in living plants. Although many attempts have been made to augment plant function with electroactive materials, plants’ “circuitry†has never been directly merged with electronics. From a certain perspective, these features are analogous to the contacts, interconnections, devices, and wires of discrete and integrated electronic circuits. The roots, stems, leaves, and vascular circuitry of higher plants are responsible for conveying the chemical signals that regulate growth and functions.
