Can plants communicate with one another?

You might think that plants are silent and passive, but recent studies have shown that they can actually make sounds and send signals to each other, especially when they are stressed or under attack. Researchers at Tel Aviv University recently released their findings from a six-year experiment, which saw them record sounds emitted by certain plants. We’ve actually known for over 10 years now that plants emit vibrations, but it’s the first time that sounds have been detected, meaning it’s a groundbreaking find. Why don’t we hear plant noise then? Why would plants need to communicate with each other? What impact could this discovery have on agriculture? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!
