The process of signal integration, which contributes to the regulation of multiple cellular activities, can be described in a digital language by a set of connected digital operations. In this article we delineate the basic concepts of cell signalling in the context of a logical description of information processing. Newly described instances of signal integration in plants are given as examples....
