How plants warn each other of danger

BBC News - How plants warn each other of danger: "For the first time, scientists at Exeter University have captured on film the process by which plants alert each other to possible dangers.

When a plant is under attack it releases a gas which warns neighbouring plants to protect themselves.

In a new BBC Two series, Professor Iain Stewart explains how the Earth's development was driven by plants and how they have adapted for survival."
