Green scream: Plants emit “ultrasonic squeals” when stressed by drought or physical damage
Plants let out “ultrasonic squeals” when they are damaged or stressed by drought. Researchers at Tel Aviv University in Israel discovered this after placing microphones near tomato and tobacco plants. Thanks to the microphones, the researchers were able to detect distinct sounds emanating from the plants. The sounds are too high-frequency for humans to hear, but other plants and some animals may be able to perceive […]
