did you know that plants talk to each other? if a tomato plant is - TopicsExpress



          

did you know that plants talk to each other? if a tomato plant is attacked by a parasite, it gives out a chemical warning to other tomato plants. this allows the other plants to alter their chemistry, so as not to seem as tasty to the attacking parasites. plants display colors to insects that inform them as to whether they are ready to be pollinated or not....this is done at a visual level that out eyes cant detect (ultraviolet wavelength). plants also communicate amoungst each other...to know who their neighbors are...and can tell each other apart by their chemical "scents". the world around us is vastly more complex....than meets the eye!
