LATIF: Wait. MONICA GAGLIANO: Yeah. Or maybe slower? ROBERT: But after five days, she found that 80% of the time, the plants went -- or maybe chose -- to head toward the dry pipe that has water in it. ROBERT: And they're digging and digging and digging. JENNIFER FRAZER: The whole thing immediately closes up and makes it look like, "Oh, there's no plant here. Maybe each root is -- is like a little ear for the plant. Yeah, I know. But instead of dogs, she had pea plants in a dark room. I was, like, floored. Don't interrupt. Like for example, my plants were all in environment-controlled rooms, which is not a minor detail. Can the tree feel you ripping the roots out like that? She's a forestry professor at the University of British Columbia. And it's more expensive. It's as if the individual trees were somehow thinking ahead to the needs of the whole forest. SUZANNE SIMARD: You do. So light is -- if you shine light on a plant you're, like, feeding it? For this part of our broadcast, I'd like to begin by imagining a tall, dark, dense, green forest. In my brain. Or maybe it's the fungus under the ground is kind of like a broker and decides who gets what. Both aiming at the pea plant from the same direction, and the pea plant leans toward them. JAD: Wait a second. What -- I forgot to ask you something important. Find us at 10900 W Jefferson Blvd or call (310) 390-5120 to learn more. ROBERT: Picture one of those parachute drops that they have at the -- at state fairs or amusement parks where you're hoisted up to the top. We went and looked for ourselves. ROBERT: Nothing happened at all. I don't know yet. All in all, turns out one tree was connected to 47 other trees all around it. MONICA GAGLIANO: Exactly, which is pretty amazing. They remembered what had happened three days before, that dropping didn't hurt, that they didn't have to fold up. No, I actually, like even this morning it's already like poof! SUZANNE SIMARD: And there was a lot of skepticism at the time. So he brought them some meat. They'd remember straight away. Start of message. MONICA GAGLIANO: I wonder if that was maybe a bit too much. SUZANNE SIMARD: We had to dig from the sides. Picasso! JAD: Well, okay. And moved around, but always matched in the same way together. If there was only the fan, would the plant After three days of this training regime, it is now time to test the plants with just the fan, no light. MONICA GAGLIANO: Or would just be going random? And these acids come out and they start to dissolve the rocks. We are the principals of Accurate Building Inspectors of Brooklyn, New York. Maybe just a tenth the width of your eyelash. Well, I created these horrible contraptions. Of the tree's sugar goes down to the mushroom team? And if you go to too many rock concerts, you can break these hairs and that leads to permanent hearing loss, which is bad. Thud. And we dropped it once and twice. So they can't move. Ring, meat, eat. by Radiolab Follow. And I need a bird, a lot of birds, actually. So she decided to conduct her experiment. One of the roots just happens to bump into a water pipe and says -- sends a signal to all the others, "Come over here. Wait a second. So it wasn't touching the dirt at all. But what -- how would a plant hear something? 37:51. AATISH BHATIA: So this is our plant dropper. His name is Roy Halling. And I remember it was Sunday, because I started screaming in my lab. This episode was produced by Annie McEwen. These guys are actually doing it." ], [JENNIFER FRAZER: And I am a science writer. Truth is, I think on this point she's got a -- she's right. ROBERT: And that's just the beginning. And so I designed this experiment to figure that out. If a nosy deer happens to bump into it, the mimosa plant Curls all its leaves up against its stem. I mean, I see the dirt. MONICA GAGLIANO: I wonder if that was maybe a bit too much. [laughs]. And then they do stuff. There are multiple ways of doing one thing, right? The last kind of part of the root gets tangled just around the edge. That's amazing and fantastic. No, no, no, no, no. Each one an ounce, an ounce, an ounce, an ounce, an ounce. ROBERT: Isn't that what you do? ROBERT: So maybe could you just describe it just briefly just what you did? MONICA GAGLIANO: Exactly. He's got lots of questions about her research methods, but really his major complaint is -- is her language. Because what she does next is three days later, she takes these plants back into the lab. St. Andrew's Magazine Dr. Aatish Bhatia Inspires Students & Faculty. So ROBERT: He says something about that's the wrong season. It's the equivalent of a human being jumping over the Eiffel Tower. View SmartyPlantsRadioLab Transcript (2).docx from CHEM 001A at Pasadena City College. They run out of energy. Did Jigs emerge? You just used a very interesting word. Listen to one of these podcasts: (Read the summaries and choose the one you want) Radiolab - Update: CRISPR Radiolab - Cellmates Radiolab - Shrink Radiolab - From Tree to Shining Tree Radiolab - Antibodies Part 1: CRISPR Radiolab - Galapagos Radiolab - Smarty Plants Radiolab - Super Cool For the main post please include: Title Then we actually had to run four months of trials to make sure that, you know, that what we were seeing was not one pea doing it or two peas, but it was actually a majority. So it's predicting something to arrive. On the fifth day, they take a look and discover most of the roots, a majority of the roots were heading toward the sound of water. We showed one of these plants to him and to a couple of his colleagues, Sharon De La Cruz ROBERT: Because we wanted them to help us recreate Monica's next experiment. MONICA GAGLIANO: Like for example, my plants were all in environment-controlled rooms, which is not a minor detail. Favorite 46 Add to Repost 7. How does it know which way to turn and grow its roots so that it can find the water? But no, they're all linked to each other! And if you go to too many rock concerts, you can break these hairs and that leads to permanent hearing loss, which is bad. Let him talk. ROBERT: They would salivate and then eat the meat. If a plant doesn't have a brain what is choosing where to go? An expert. From Tree to Shining Tree. I mean, you've heard that. To remember? LARRY UBELL: Yes, we are related. There are multiple ways of doing one thing, right? So Monica moves the fans to a new place one more time. JENNIFER FRAZER: I do find it magical. Princeton University News Transformations: Students find creativity at intersection of art and engineering. Once you understand that the trees are all connected to each other, they're all signaling each other, sending food and resources to each other, it has the feel, the flavor, of something very similar. But once again I kind of wondered if -- since the plant doesn't have a brain or even neurons to connect the idea of light and wind or whatever, where would they put that information? More information about Sloan at www.sloan.org]. So you're like a metaphor cop with a melty heart. JAD: That apparently -- jury's still out. It'd be all random. I'll put it down in my fungi. JENNFER FRAZER: Well, they do it because the tree has something the fungus needs, and the fungus has something the tree needs. They definitely don't have a brain. There are multiple ways of doing one thing, right? We were so inconsistent, so clumsy, that the plants were smart to keep playing it safe and closing themselves up. And what a tree needs are minerals. MONICA GAGLIANO: Not really. And then I would cover them in plastic bags. That's what she says. He's holding his hand maybe a foot off the ground. MONICA GAGLIANO: Yeah. It didn't seem to be learning anything. And might as well start the story back when she was a little girl. I don't know yet. Sugar. What's its job? They learned something. LATIF: It's like a bank? The plants -- the plants stopped -- what is it they did? She says one of the weirdest parts of this though, is when sick trees give up their food, the food doesn't usually go to their kids or even to trees of the same species. And they still remembered. ROBERT: Peering down at the plants under the red glow of her headlamp. LARRY UBELL: Me first. Liquid rocks. But I wonder if her using these metaphors is perhaps a very creative way of looking at -- looking at a plant, and therefore leads her to make -- make up these experiments that those who wouldn't think the way she would would ever make up. Today, Robert drags Jad along on a parade for the surprising feats of brainless plants. Like, from the trees perspective, how much of their sugar are they giving to the fungus? So you can get -- anybody can get one of these plants, and we did. It was like -- it was like a huge network. And it's that little, little bit of moisture that the plant will somehow sense. ROBERT: So you're like a metaphor cop with a melty heart. JENNIFER FRAZER: In the little springtail bodies there were little tubes growing inside them. It's like every time I close my eyes, you're coming at it from a different direction. And I do that in my brain. This assignment pairs with the RadioLab podcast; specifically the Smarty Plants episode. It just kept curling and curling. He's looking up at us quite scared and very unhappy that he was covered in And toilet paper. JENNIFER FRAZER: With when they actually saw and smelled and ate meat. I was like, "Oh, my God! Turns the fan on, turns the light on, and the plant turns and leans that way. 36:59. So we went back to Monica. ROBERT: So you just did what Pavlov did to a plant. Because what she does next is three days later, she takes these plants back into the lab. I mean, it's a kind of romanticism, I think. The plants have to keep pulling their leaves up and they just get tired. And again. So the -- this branching pot thing. ROBERT: So we strapped in our mimosa plant. Special thanks to Dr. Teresa Ryan of the University of British Columbia, Faculty of Forestry, to our intern Stephanie Tam, to Roy Halling and the Bronx Botanical Garden, and to Stephenson Swanson there. ROBERT: She says a timber company would move in and clear cut an entire patch of forest, and then plant some new trees. ROBERT: Well of course, there could be a whole -- any number of reasons why, you know, one tree's affected by another. ], Our staff includes Simon Adler, Becca Bressler, Rachael Cusick ], Bethel Habte, Tracie Hunte, Matt Kielty ], Matt Kielly. ROBERT: Okay. Is it ROBERT: This is like metaphor is letting in the light as opposed to shutting down the blinds. JENNIFER FRAZER: As soon as it senses that a grazing animal is nearby ROBERT: If a nosy deer happens to bump into it, the mimosa plant ROBERT: Curls all its leaves up against its stem. That is correct. The little threads just wrapping themselves around the tree roots. It was magic for me. Join free & follow Radiolab. Each one an ounce, an ounce, an ounce, an ounce, an ounce. Because the only reason why the experiment turned out to be 28 days is because I ran out of time. And the pea plants are left alone to sit in this quiet, dark room feeling the breeze. So you're like a metaphor cop with a melty heart. ROBERT: Sounds, yeah. Like, the plant is hunting? MONICA GAGLIANO: So then at one point, when you only play the bell for the dog, or you, you know, play the fan for the plant, we know now for the dogs, the dog is expecting. LARRY UBELL: We are the principals of Accurate Building Inspectors of Brooklyn, New York. Pics! Robert Krulwich. So we are going to meet a beautiful little plant called a mimosa pudica, which is a perfectly symmetrical plant with leaves on either side of a central stem. We dropped. And they're digging and digging and digging. In the state of California, a medicinal marijuana cultivation license allows for the cultivation of up to 99 plants. JENNIFER FRAZER: Yeah. And why would -- why would the fungi want to make this network? You have to understand that the cold water pipe causes even a small amount of water to condense on the pipe itself. Oh, so it says to the newer, the healthier trees, "Here's my food. They may have this intelligence, maybe we're just not smart enough yet to figure it out. Whatever. ], [ALVIN UBELL: And Alvin Ubell. So actually, I think you were very successful with your experiment. ROBERT: But once again I kind of wondered if -- since the plant doesn't have a brain or even neurons to connect the idea of light and wind or whatever, where would they put that information? ROBERT: But instead of dogs, she had pea plants in a dark room. Gone. So you -- if you would take away the fish, the trees would be, like, blitzed. And I remember it was Sunday, because I started screaming in my lab. They definitely don't have a brain. And she was willing to entertain the possibility that plants can do something like hear. Couple minutes go by And all of a sudden we could hear this barking and yelping. But then ROY HALLING: Finally! SUZANNE SIMARD: Jigs emerged. It's gone. That is definitely cool. Monica's work has actually gotten quite a bit of attention from other plant biologists. This happens to a lot of people. And the pea plants are left alone to sit in this quiet, dark room feeling the breeze. And with these two stimuli, she put the plants, the little pea plants through a kind of training regime. ROBERT: So what they're saying is even if she's totally sealed the pipe so there's no leak at all, the difference in temperature will create some condensation on the outside. Today, Robert drags Jad along on a parade for the surprising feats of brainless plants. JAD: No, it's because it's like every time I close my eyes, you're coming at it from a different direction. JAD: Are you bringing the plant parade again? It was like, Oh, I might disturb my plants!" They all went closed. JENNIFER FRAZER: From a particular direction. If you look at these particles under the microscope, you can see the little tunnels. They look just like mining tunnels. Ring, meat, eat. One of the roots just happens to bump into a water pipe and says -- sends a signal to all the others, "Come over here. ALVIN UBELL: If you look at a root under a microscope, what you see is all these thousands of feelers like hairs on your head looking for water. You know, it goes back to anthropomorphizing plant behaviors. MONICA GAGLIANO: Again, if you imagine that the pot, my experimental pot. Of Accurate Building Inspectors. Pretty much like the concept of Pavlov with his dog applied. I mean, it's just -- it's reacting to things and there's a series of mechanical behaviors inside the plant that are just bending it in the direction. Or it's just the vibration of the pipe that's making it go toward it. In my brain. He's looking up at us quite scared and very unhappy that he was covered in SUZANNE SIMARD: And toilet paper. The fungi, you know, after it's rained and snowed and the carcass has seeped down into the soil a bit, the fungi then go and they drink the salmon carcass down and then send it off to the tree. MONICA GAGLIANO: Yeah. So, okay. Yours is back of your house, but let's make it in the front. ALVIN UBELL: The tree will wrap its roots around that pipe. ROBERT: Oh. Okay? ROBERT: And he starts digging with his rake at the base of this tree. Jennifer told Latif and I about another role that these fungi play. Remember that the roots of these plants can either go one direction towards the sound of water in a pipe, or the other direction to the sound of silence. But maybe it makes her sort of more open-minded than -- than someone who's just looking at a notebook. SUZANNE SIMARD: We're sitting on the exposed root system, which is like -- it is like a mat. There's this whole other world right beneath my feet. ROBERT: So I think what she would argue is that we kind of proved her point. She actually trained this story in a rather elaborate experimental setup to move away from the light and toward a light breeze against all of its instincts. Same as the Pavlov. So she decided to conduct her experiment. And then when times are hard, that fungi will give me my sugar back and I can start growing again. This is not so good" signal through the network. And so they have this trading system with trees. Yeah. Enough of that! So -- so carbon will move from that dying tree. So they just went right for the MP3 fake water, not even the actual water? MONICA GAGLIANO: Yeah, tested it in my lab. We pulled Jigs out and we threw him in the lake with a great deal of yelping and cursing and swearing, and Jigs was cleaned off. Because after dropping them 60 times, she then shook them left to right and they instantly folded up again. MONICA GAGLIANO: A plant that is quite far away from the actual pipe. ], [LARRY UBELL: Radiolab was created by Jad Abumrad and is produced by Soren Wheeler. MONICA GAGLIANO: Landing very comfortably onto a padded base made of foam. And so we, you know, we've identified these as kind of like hubs in the network. SUZANNE SIMARD: And so I designed this experiment to figure that out. Imagine towering trees to your left and to your right. 00:34:54 - Do you really need a brain to sense the world around you? And the salivation equivalent was the tilt of the plant? SUZANNE SIMARD: I know. But it was originally done with -- with a dog. Coming up on the Plant Parade, we get to the heart -- or better yet, the root -- of a very specific type of plant. And the tubes branch and sometimes they reconnect. ANNIE: Yeah. The bell, the meat and the salivation. Yeah. JENNIFER FRAZER: It is! LARRY UBELL: No, I don't because she may come up against it, people who think that intelligence is unique to humans. ROBERT: There's -- on the science side, there's a real suspicion of anything that's anthropomorphizing a plant. I mean, couldn't it just be like that? Is your dog objecting to my analysis? ROBERT: But that scientist I mentioned MONICA GAGLIANO: My name is Monica Gagliano. Why waste hot water? No question there. ROBERT: And this? ROBERT: All right, that's it, I think. To remember? This is by the way, what her entire family had done, her dad and her grandparents. So no plants were actually hurt in this experiment. So, okay. Yeah. I think there is something like a nervous system in the forest, because it's the same sort of large network of nodes sending signals to one another. I've always loved Radiolab. let's do it! I don't know yet. Yeah, plants really like light, you know? But also SUZANNE SIMARD: The other important thing we figured out is that, as those trees are injured and dying, they'll dump their carbon into their neighbors. So Pavlov started by getting some dogs and some meat and a bell. Nothing delicious at all. If you look at a root under a microscope, what you see is all these thousands of feelers like hairs on your head looking for water. Well, I have one thing just out of curiosity ROBERT: As we were winding up with our home inspectors, Alvin and Larry Ubell, we thought maybe we should run this metaphor idea by them. JAD: This -- this actually happened to me. On the fifth day, they take a look and discover most of the roots, a majority of the roots were heading toward the sound of water. ROBERT: Truth is, I think on this point she's got a -- she's right. JAD: Yeah, absolutely. There was a healthier community when they were mixed and I wanted to figure out why. The bell, the meat and the salivation. And so why is that? I know -- I know you -- I know you don't. They definitely don't have a brain. ROBERT: And this? And if you go to too many rock concerts, you can break these hairs and that leads to permanent hearing loss, which is bad. This is Ashley Harding from St. John's, Newfoundland, Canada. ROBERT: Well, let us say you have a yard in front of your house. Like, as in the fish. Yours is back of your house, but let's make it in the front. It's a -- it's a three-pronged answer. ROBERT: Had indeed turned and moved toward the fan, stretching up their little leaves as if they were sure that at any moment now light would arrive. Every one of them. And Jigs at some point just runs off into the woods, just maybe to chase a rabbit. Bye everybody. He's not a huge fan of. But let me just -- let me give it a try. Now that's a very, you know, animals do this experiment, but it got Monica thinking. And lignin is full of nitrogen, but also compounds like nitrogen is important in DNA, right? He shoves away the leaves, he shoves away the topsoil. We're sitting on the exposed root system, which is like -- it is like a mat. Douglas fir, birch and cedar. JENNIFER FRAZER: That something bad is happening. So we went back to Monica. It's yours." And then JENNIFER FRAZER: They secrete acid. And then what happens? ], [JENNIFER FRAZER: Our staff includes Simon Adler, Brenna Farrow, David Gebel. JAD: What is the tree giving back to the fungus? ROBERT: Two very different options for our plant. SUZANNE SIMARD: Would just suck up through photosynthesis. Yes. So that voice belongs to Aatish Bhatia, who is with Princeton University's Council on Science and Technology. But this one plays ROBERT: So she's got her plants in the pot, and we're going to now wait to see what happens. Radiolab is supported in part by the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation, enhancing public understanding of Science and Technology in the modern world. JENNIFER FRAZER: They had learned to associate the sound of the bell ROBERT: Which has, you know, for dogs has nothing to do with meat. ], And Alvin Ubell. And what we found was that the trees that were the biggest and the oldest were the most highly connected. JENNIFER FRAZER: But we don't know. And she says this time they relaxed almost immediately. It doesn't ROBERT: I know, I know. Can you -- will you soften your roots so that I can invade your root system?" ROBERT: Monica says what she does do is move around the world with a general feeling of ROBERT: What if? Fan, light, lean. And remember, if you're a springtail, don't talk to strange mushrooms. ROBERT: So after much trial and error with click and hums and buzzes MONICA GAGLIANO: All sorts of randomness. Had indeed turned and moved toward the fan, stretching up their little leaves as if they were sure that at any moment now light would arrive. ANNIE MCEWEN: What was your reaction when you saw this happen? ROBERT: The Ubells see this happening all the time. MONICA GAGLIANO: I created these horrible contraptions. Couldn't it just be an entirely different interpretation here? Like the bell for the dog. JAD: So you couldn't replicate what she saw. But if you dig a little deeper, there's a hidden world beneath your feet as busy and complicated as a city at rush hour. No. The point here is that the scale of this is so vast, and we didn't know this until very, very recently. It's about how plants learn, or adapt, or even listen, the way humans do (though scientists really don't seem to know how). Big thanks to Aatish Bhatia, to Sharon De La Cruz and to Peter Landgren at Princeton University's Council on Science and Technology. SUZANNE SIMARD: He was a, not a wiener dog. And it's good it was Sunday. All right, my hypothesis is that what happens is You got somewhere to go? ROBERT: And we saw this in the Bronx. It just kept curling. How does it know which way to turn and grow its roots so that it can find the water? ROBERT: Oh! And I wanted to talk to them because, as building inspectors they -- there's something they see over and over and over. I thought okay, so this is just stupid. And so we're digging away, and Jigs was, you know, looking up with his paws, you know, and looking at us, waiting. ALVIN UBELL: How much longer? And so I don't have a problem with that. Along with a home-inspection duo, a science writer, and some enterprising scientists at Princeton University, wedig into the work of evolutionaryecologist Monica Gagliano, who turns ourbrain-centered worldview on its head through a series of clever experiments that show plants doing things we never would've imagined. ROBERT: I don't think Monica knows the answer to that, but she does believe that, you know, that we humans MONICA GAGLIANO: We are a little obsessed with the brain. ], Test the outer edges of what you think you know. That there was a kind of a moral objection to thinking it this way. And for a long time, they were thought of as plants. ROBERT: That would be sugar-minerals-sugar-minerals-sugar-minerals-sugar-minerals-sugar-minerals-sugar-minerals-sugar-minerals-sugar-minerals. The glass is not broken. SUZANNE SIMARD: Into the roots, and then into the microbial community, which includes the mushroom team, yeah. And she says this time they relaxed almost immediately. JENNIFER FRAZER: I am the blogger of The Artful Amoeba at Scientific American. And the tree happens to be a weeping willow. Is that what -- is that what this? He's the only springtail with a trench coat and a fedora. SUZANNE SIMARD: Like, nitrogen and phosphorus. ROBERT: These sensitive hairs he argues, would probably be able to feel that tiny difference. I do want to go back, though, to -- for something like learning, like, I don't understand -- learning, as far as I understand it, is something that involves memory and storage. More information about Sloan at www.sloan.org]. We ask deep questions and use investigative journalism to get the answers. ROBERT: When we last left off, I'm just saying you just said intelligence. Picasso! And again. This happens to a lot of people. Robert, I have -- you know what? But we are in the home inspection business. Then she takes the little light and the little fan and moves them to the other side of the plant. This is the headphones? That's a -- learning is something I didn't think plants could do. She took that notion out of the garden into her laboratory. And I do that in my brain. LARRY UBELL: Or it's just the vibration of the pipe that's making it go toward it. They're father and son.
