Plants also talk to each other like humans. You might be a little surprised to hear this. But these are true. Plants also talk to each other, and scientists have known about this since the 1980s. However, scientists could not understand how plants do all this. Today we will tell you about it.
What does the research say
Japanese scientists have done research on plants. Not only this, the researchers have also made a video in their research. In this video plants can be seen contacting with each other. According to researchers, whenever plants feel any danger in the neighborhood, they immediately start alerting each other. Scientists have identified 80 species of plants, which start ensuring each other’s safety in times of crisis. Scientists knew very well that plants give signals to each other. But how the other plant accepted it has been revealed by Japanese scientists in their research study.
Video of plants interacting
A team of Japanese scientists has solved this puzzle through their research. In a study report published in Nature Communications, molecular biologists Yuri Aratani and Takuya Uemura at Saitama University in Japan showed how plants behave when they detect danger.
Research by scientists
According to the researchers, they grew tomato plants as an experiment. Many caterpillars were released on the leaves. After this they found that as soon as the signal of danger was received, the protective cells of the leaf called stomata became active. Let us tell you that in the video released by scientists, it can be seen that the leaves glow as soon as the cell becomes active. This scene has been filmed with real time imaging technology.
