After reading this note, you will never look at broccoli the same way again.
This is chilling. A new study recently published by the journal Nature Communications ensures that plants exhibit stress in a surprisingly similar way to animals, including humans. How was this conclusion reached?
Scientists discovered that plants use many of the same electrical signals that animals use when under chemical stress, despite not having a nervous system; for example, they present, like us, the animal neurotransmitter gamma-aminobutyric acid, known as GABA.
GABA concentration is known to increase rapidly in plants even under low-level stresses, such as when an insect crawls onto a leaf. ABoth plants and animals have recruited the same messenger. Plants may look different, but they still use some of the same electrical messengers that we do, and that’s fascinating. said to mashable.com Matthew Gilliham of the University of Adelaide, Australia.
Working with wheat, rice, grapevines and barley, the team found that these Plants appear to respond similarly to stresses such as extreme heat, acid soil, or flooding.in a way that results in electrical signals that can regulate the growth of these beings, explains the Australian medium.
So when the grandmothers sang to the plants to make them grow, they might not be as crazy as we young people thought. What do you think? Do you think plants feel or not? Write what you think in the comments of this note.
