Plants also recognize 'peach blood'

American and Canadian scientists have discovered that plants also have the ability to recognize their "peach blood" and react in different ways.

This finding is particularly important, helping researchers to rely on it to stimulate crop growth and high productivity.

When studying seaweed, the Canadian scientists discovered that the plants grown from the seed of the same mother plant when planted next to each other have relatively uniform development. But when planted together with other plants, they compete fiercely by rapidly developing the root system to absorb water and nutrients from the soil.

Scientists at the University of Delaware (USA) also studied wild plants with the Latin name Arabidopsis thaliana, a plant that is often used as a model when studying plants.

Experimental results show that the leaves of plants from the same mother living side by side often get together or grow close together, while the leaves of other mothers living side by side grow apart and head straight up to avoid touching. together. The roots of other mother plants are also larger and larger than the roots of the same mother plants.

According to experts, this finding raises a problem that needs to be clarified in agricultural production, which is how crops will grow in the form of monoculture, with high yields when seeded. from one source and planted side by side.

Experts say that in that environment, the plant will balance the nutrient source for each other but there is no mutation to increase productivity.
