Plant Talking Viral Video | A team of scientists from Japan has made an incredible discovery. In which the video of the plants communicating with each other has been captured in the camera. According to Science Alert, plants are surrounded by a web of airborne compounds that they use to communicate. These compounds are odorous and alert surrounding plants of danger.

Japanese scientists captured the video

Videos recorded by Japanese scientists revealed how plants receive and react to this aerial signal. The breakthrough, led by Saitama University molecular biologist Masatsugu Toyota, was published in the journal Nature Communications.

Who was involved in the research team?

Other team members included PhD students Yuri Aratani and postdoctoral researcher Takuya Uemura. The team observed how an undamaged plant responded to volatile organic compounds (VOC) released by the plant due to insect damage or other causes.

What did the research find?

In this research, the authors reported that trees or plants perceive VOCs released mechanically or by damaged plants and induce different defense responses. This type of interplant communication protects plants from environmental threats. His video was shared on social media which is going viral.
