Plant communication refers to the various ways in which plants interact with each other and their environment through chemical signals, physical changes, and other mechanisms. This communication can occur through volatile organic compounds (VOCs) released into the air, root exudates released into the soil, and signaling through mycorrhizal networks. Plants use these signals to convey information about stress, such as pest attacks or environmental changes, enabling neighboring plants to activate their own defense mechanisms or alter growth patterns. This complex network of interactions illustrates how plants can influence their ecosystem and respond collectively to challenges, demonstrating a level of awareness and coordination previously underestimated in the plant kingdom. Overall, plant communication play a crucial role in ecological relationships, including those with other plants, animals, fungi, and bacteria.
