We can learn from plants when it comes to neighbourly behaviour

Whether you live in the city or in the country, it's hard to escape interactions with neighbours. From chatting to lending a hand, everyone has their own little ways of gaining the privileged status of the "good neighbour".
Now, British researchers suggest that it could be worth taking a leaf from plants when it comes to neighbourly behaviour in times of stress.
Everyone has a different take on what neighbourly relationships should look like. Some think that a simple "hello" is enough, while others share meals or lend each other tools or ingredients. But for scientists at the John Innes Centre and the University of Bristol, we should all consider behaving like plants when growing in hostile conditions.
