Talk to Plants biography, Talk to Plants discography
Prince Charles may be right to have chats with plants,
scientists say
Researchers exposed rice plants to noise while they monitored
levels of gene activity.Some frequencies made the genes more active, while others made
them subdued.Because the genes are known to be involved in the plant's
response to light, the scientists repeated the experiments in the
dark.It is possible that certain types of sound wave interfere with
the normal behaviour of plant genes.Genetics experts, however, are at a loss to explain what
benefits 'hearing' could offer to plants.Even if sound did trigger genetic changes in a plant, it might
be impractical to use in farms.Plants already have an armoury of senses to help protect them
against predators, disease and the weather.All plants react to light, with sunflowers tracking the movement
of the sun across the sky every day.Others 'feel' strong winds and stiffen themselves against
buffeting.Maize reacts to the 'taste' of a particular caterpillar saliva
by releasing a scent to attract a parasitic wasp.The wasp lays its eggs inside caterpillars, which hatch and
destroy the host from within.Injured tomato plants can even 'talk' to other plants by
releasing a chemical warning signal into the air.Add your comments

Here's what readers have had to say so far.Why not add your thoughts below?Surely sound could have the same effect, and we (along with plants) are after all just enormously complicated chemical reactions.Something that has been known for years by all good gardeners, and true holistic people?My husband talks to my plants and tells them off for not producing fruit.Make text area bigger

A: This question doesn't lend itself to a simple "yes" or "no."What do we mean by communication?Such communication requires a mind.In fact, a question under serious debate in the plant world is much the question you raise: can a plant under attack alert nearby plants to danger so they can defend themselves?In one case study, a cut sagebrush "told" nearby, downwind wild tobacco plants about its injury, and the tobacco plants apparently responded to protect themselves from damage.These downwind tobacco plants experienced less than half the leaf damage from grasshoppers and cutworms than control plants.Moreover, it is hard to know a plant's response to a stimulus, or if volatile chemicals work as a means of passing stimulus information among plants.Farmer, professor of plant molecular biology at the University of Lausanne, Switzerland and Ian T.But analyzing a plant's behavior in the wild is a mish mash of gene expression easily able to mask the effect you're trying to detect.Also, air dilutes volatile chemicals plants give off to communicate with insects, and that's not a problem for insects since they are extremely sensitive to similar chemicals (pheromones), which enable them, for example, to track down mates over long distances.Plants, though, react to even extremely high concentrations of volatiles only within an extremely short range.Richard Karban, Kaori Shiojiri, Mikaela Huntzinger and Andrew C.McCall, Ecology, 87(4), 2006, pp.Terrence, Port Harcourt, Nigeria)
A: Throughout the world, more boys are born than girls.But it depends also on how long it takes to achieve lasting pregnancy.Male semen contains equal numbers of sperms bearing X (female) and Y (male) chromosomes, which implies an equal chance for a male child.Further Reading:
