But now, for the first time, Itzhak Khait and his colleagues at Tel Aviv University in Israel found that tomato and tobacco
40、plants made sounds at frequencies humans cannot hear when stressed by a lack of water or when their stem is cut. Microphones placed 10 centimetres from the plants picked up sounds in the ultrasonic(超声波的超声波的) range of 20 to 100 kilohertz, which the team says insects and some mammals would be capable
41、of hearing and responding to from as far as 5 metres away. A moth(蛾蛾) may decide against laying eggs on a plant that sounds water-stressed, the researchers suggest. Plants could even hear that other plants are short of water and react accordingly, they guess. Plants exposed to drought stress have be

Water-hungry tobacco appears to make louder
45、 sounds than cut tobacco, for example. Enabling farmers to listen for water-stressed plants could “open a new direction in the field of precision agriculture”, the researchers suggest. They add that such an ability will be increasingly important as climate change exposes more areas to drought. Anne
46、Visscher, working at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, in the UK, warns that the results cant yet be broadened out to other stresses, such as salt or temperature, because these may not lead to sounds. In addition, there have been no experiments to show whether moths(飞蛾）飞蛾） or any other animal can hear
