Abstract
The key point in communication is “Exchange of information”. Plants communicate with other plants to get a proper understanding about their surroundings, sense threats and ultimately share ‘information’. In the present study is based on studies conducted in the world related to plant to plant communication, describing different modes of plant to plant interaction. The current studies reveals that there are several modes by which plant to plant communication occurs namely, mycorrhizal networks, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), electrical signaling, etc. Several researchers have concluded that plants can transport nutrients such as carbon and nitrogen from one plant to another through mycorrhizal connections between the roots of neighbouring plants [16]. Studies have also been conducted on how plants warn their neighbors by producing volatile organic compounds when they sense attack by herbivorous animals [17]. This study aims to collecting and documenting the instances that revels plants, like other animals can also communicate. This study also deep dives into the effect that deforestation has caused to lack of means of communication between mother trees and seedlings, that ultimately results in biodiversity loss.
