Catch the scene of trees

Scientists at the University of Exeter (UK) claim to have filmed plants 'chatting' with each other.

Thus, the long-standing suspicion of some experts has been confirmed. Plants can also exchange information when needed.

This is also the first time experts have grasped the evidence of the "chat" ability of plants, after Professor Nick Smirnoff's team turned the scene.

To find out how plants "talk" to each other, researchers have modified the genes of a cabbage plant, causing it to release a gas when the surface of the tree is cut or punched.

By adding luciferase protein, which helps fireflies emit light, into the genome of cabbage plants, the exhaust process can be recorded by camera.

When a cabbage crop is cut off, methyl jasmonate gas comes from the trunk of the cabbage, 'alert' to neighbors knowing about the risk of being lurking ahead.

After receiving the "alarm" message , two cabbage plants next to the tree were cut off, though not yet touched, immediately responded by producing toxic chemicals on the leaves to ward off intruders, such as caterpillars, according to the Daily Mail newspaper .

Since then, British experts have hypothesized that plants can "talk" to each other in an invisible way that we don't know yet.
