According to researchers, plas use the fine dust that is suspended in the air around them to communicate and protect themselves.
According to Tekna technology and technology news service, scieists have known about the conversation between plas since the 1980s and now they have been able to record it through imaging techniques. Communication between plas is imperceptible to humans, and compounds such as odors repel hungry herbivores and warn neighboring plas about predators. Scieists have been aware of the relationship between plas since 1980 and also ideified it among 80 pla species.
Japanese researchers have now been able to record how plas receive and react to air alarms using insta imaging techniques. Previously, there was a fundameal gap in our understanding of communication between plas, and that was how plas send or receive messages.
In this study, Yuri Aradani and Takuya Omura, two molecular biologists at Saitama University in Japan, used fluorescence microscopy to visualize compounds emitted from damaged plas. In this study, Zwee cocoon worms were placed on the leaves of tomato plas, mouse ears and weeds, and the researchers recorded the reactions of the second pla regarding danger signs. These plas have been genetically modified and their cells coain a biosensor that can detect the influx of calcium ions through them.
Calcium signaling is a method that even human cells use to communicate. The method used to measure calcium signals was the same as the previous studies on flowers of Ghare and Ashati. In this study, injured plas clearly received messages from injured neighbors and responded to them by bursting calcium signals in the leaves.
