In a yet-to-be-published study, Itzhak Khait and his team at Tel Aviv University, in Israel, found that tomato and tobacco plants can make ultrasonic(超声的)noises. The plants “cry out
31、“ due to lack of water, or when their sterns(茎) are cut. Its just too high-pitched(音调高的)for humans to hear. Microphones placed 10 centimeters away from the plants picked up sounds in the ultrasonic range of 20 to 100 kilohertz(千赫兹). Human hearing usually ranges from 20 hertz to 20 kilohertz. “These
32、findings can alter the way we think about the plant kingdom,“ they wrote. On average, “thirsty“ tomato plants made 35 sounds an hour, while tobacco plants made 11.

Although Khait and his colleagues only looked at tomato and tobacco plants, they think other plants also make sou

As climate change causes more droughts, they said this would be important information for 第 - 7 - 页 共 19 页 - 7 - farmers. “The sounds that drought-stressed plants make could h
