Experiments show that plants can communicate with each other. Consider a plant put under drought conditions which is connected via the roots to a neighboring plant. The drought plantbsends messages through the roots to its neighbor. Even through the neighbor plant has plenty of water, it will respond as if in drought conditions too. In what way will the plant respond?

A plant biologist observed a peculiar pattern when a tropical shrub was attacked by caterpillars. After a caterpillar ate a leaf, it would skip over nearby leaves and attack a leaf some distance away. Simply removing a leaf did not deter caterpillars from eating nearby leaves. The biologist suspected that an insect-damaged leaf sent out a chemical that signaled nearby leaves. How could the researcher test this hypothesis?
