Stressed tomato and tobacco plants emit ultrasonic sounds similar to bubble-wrap popping, which may be detectable by insects, mammals, and other plants. Researchers recorded the sounds and used machine-learning to identify stress types and plant species, offering insights into plant communication an
Researchers at Tel Aviv University have recorded and analyzed ultrasonic sounds emitted by plants for the first time. The study found that plants emit specific sounds when under stress, which may be detectable by animals like bats, mice, and insects. Using machine learning algorithms, the researcher
