每日口說挑戰【Ted-Ed】植物會對話嗎？ (Can plants talk to each other? - Richard Karban)

1.But why would a plant warn its neighbors of danger, especially if they're competing for resources? Well, it might be an accidental consequence of a self-defense mechanism. Plants can't move information through their bodies as easily as we can, especially if water is scarce.
但為何植物要警告它鄰近的其他植物有危險了呢，特別是如果這些植物又都要爭取相同的資源？這個嘛！這可能是它們的自我防衛機制偶然產生的結果。植物沒辦法像我們一樣這麼輕易地在體內傳送資訊，尤其在缺水的時候更是如此。

但若植物間相互爭取資源，又為何需要警告鄰近的植物危險來臨呢？可能是它們的自衛機制附帶產生的結果。植物沒辦法跟我們一樣輕易地在體內傳送資訊，尤其在缺水時。
