Female moths avoid laying eggs on stressed plants that emit ultrasonic sounds. Instead, they choose silent, healthy plants.

Plants do not stay silent. New research shows how plant diversity changes smell based communication across ecosystems.

Odor signals in plant communities are mediated by biodiversityPlants communicate with other organisms by releasing volatile organic compounds into ...

Paco Calvo, a researcher at Spain’s University of Murcia, is on a mission. According to New Scientist, he’s attempting to build a solid scientific framework for understanding “plant neurobiology,” ...

Researchers who manipulate lignin, a molecular fiber that allows plants to grow tall and transport water, unexpectedly discovered its synthesis has more far-reaching effects on plant development than ...
