plant communication
Plants can emit ultrasonic sounds when they're stressed, which can be detected by sensitive microphones. This discovery is being used by scientists to diagnose, treat, and monitor plants without causing harm. They also release volatile compounds, which serve different purposes like attracting pollinators, repelling predators, and signaling to neighboring plants. Plants can even communicate with fungi through a mutualistic relationship known as mycorrhizal networks, where they exchange nutrients and genetic information.
