A recent study conducted by researchers from Saitama University in Japan confirmed that plants warn each other of any potential threats or danger.

Scientists have discovered how plants receive and respond to airborne compounds released by neighboring plants that are in danger.

According to the study published in the journal Nature Communications, these compounds act as a form of communication and defense between plants, warning them of potential threats such as herbivores.

The researchers prepared a pump to transfer compounds emitted from infected plants to healthy plants, in order to warn them.

The team observed healthy plants’ responses to danger signals.
