  • Japanese scientists have documented plants talking to each other and even providing neighboring plants warnings about predatory insects.  Here are some key facts:
  • Scientists from Japan's Saitama University have used imaging technology to document plants talking to each other
  • Their astounding findings were just published in the journal Nature Communication
  • They found that mustard and tomato plants use the airborne compounds surrounding themselves to communicate
  • The plants "talk" and ward off predators and communicate the danger to nearby plants
  • The scientists documented a tomato plant injured by a caterpillar warning uninjured plants to beware of the imminent danger
  • The uninjured plants responded to the warning using what the Japanese scientists call "guard cells" and calcium signals
  • The scientists say they have documented "an intricate story of how, when and where" plants warn their neighboring plants of an imminent threat
  • It's chatter imperceptible to the human ear but with a deep resonance in the story of the universe.
