Plants are constantly sending chemical messages into the air and soil around them. These invisible signals can summon pollinators, warn neighbors of herbivores, or repel attackers. But new research ...
In an interdisciplinary study, researchers discovered that symbiotic bacteria communicate with legume plants through specific molecules and that this communication influences which bacteria grow near ...

Plants release VOCs into the atmosphere when damaged by insects. Intact neighboring plants sense VOCs and activate pre-emptive defense responses against the insects. Saitama, Japan: Plants emit ...
Plants exchange adaptive information, helping them to adjust to environmental challenges. Salt stress in plants, caused by soil salinity, often results in water loss. Plants often cope with this ...
Researchers have discovered that the waxy protective barrier around plants might play a role in sending chemical signals to other plants and insects. A team of U of T Scarborough researchers have ...
Why it matters: Since the 1980s, it's been known that plants possess defense mechanisms that operate through the air. Recently, a team of Japanese researchers has not only demonstrated but also ...
