Electrical signalling plays a pivotal role in how plants perceive and respond to their environment. Rapid electrical impulses, including action potentials (APs) and slower variation potentials (VPs), ...

Learn how plants communicate through chemical signals, and why losing biodiversity can disrupt these hidden communication ...

Plants do not stay silent. New research shows how plant diversity changes smell based communication across ecosystems.

Researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Chemical Ecology and the University of Kiel have provided experimental evidence ...

Is it true that plants communicate by sending chemical signals through the air?

Researchers have cracked the code of plant-to-fungi communication in a new study. Using baker's yeast, the researchers discovered that the plant hormone strigolactone (SL) activates fungal genes and ...

Plants growing at a New York park composed the new album, "The Secret Symphony of Plants." Electrodes captured electrical signals and became the basis for the music. KUOW is Seattle’s NPR news station ...

Imagine if a plant in a farmer's field could warn a grower that it needs water? Or if a farmer could signal to plants that dry weather lies ahead, thereby prompting the plants to conserve water? It ...
