Abstract
Several animal neurotransmitters are present in plants. They are also known to affect several aspects of plant growth and development. Owing to this a great enthusiasm is observed among investigators in finding the non-neuronal role and various components of these neurotransmitter systems in plants. One such biomediator that has generated inquisitiveness in the plant scientists is dopamine. It is a well-recognized animal neurotransmitter that belongs to a group of biogenic amines better known as Catecholamines. Several works have reported the exogenous and endogenous roles of dopamine. This review is an effort to discuss the overall position of the dopaminergic system in plants and unravel the role of dopamine in plant signaling.
