Researchers and Scientists from Nanyang Technological University in Singapore have developed a tool that can conduct electrical signals from plants, permitting communication with them using signals.

The gadget detailed in 2 separate research papers won't mean you can speak to a litmus tree, but it may monitor and observe how the plant responds to its surroundings.

With a purpose to obtain this feat, researchers had to figure out that how to measure electrical signals emitted by plants.

Often, electrical stimulation is completed via the electrodes, however, they can't be used in this case, because the floor of the plant is plagued by protrusions making it tough for the electrodes to remain connected.

To handle this issue, researchers have created a gel-like electrode that can connect to the surface of plants.

They really tried to "talk" with the plant, they usually succeeded in getting the plant to close its leaves when It pulses at a certain frequency throughout the electrode.

The possible applications

Researchers hope their project on active crop tracking gadgets that may help fight food insecurity as a consequence of climate change will help.

"By monitoring signals of the stations, we could possibly detect potential distress signals and distortions," stated senior researcher Professor Chen Xiaodong.

"When used in agriculture, farmers could discover when the disease is within the period of progression, even earlier than the complete symptoms appear on crops, akin to yellow leaves, and this may give us the chance to work rapidly to extend crop productivity to the maximum extent possible," he added.
