PARIS: A new US study may make you think twice about biting into a piece of lettuce.
Scientists claim plants can feel themselves being eaten alive – and some can even tell what type of creature is attacking them.
The discovery was made after tests on the Arabidopsis plant found it can distinguish between insects eating it based on the way they chew and drool.
‘It was no surprise that plants responded differently to having their leaves chewed by a caterpillar or sucked by an aphid,’ Heidi Appel, senior research scientist University of Missouri told the Washington post.
