PLANTS GENERATING MAGNETIC FIELD• A recent study by scientific from Germany found that the Venus flytrap (Dionaea muscipula) plant is capable of generating small magnetic fields.
• These plants send electrical signals to trigger the closure of their traps, to catch an insect, a biomagnetism phenomenon was observed. While leaf stalk, or petiole, is not excitable and is electrically insulated from the trap.
• Magnetic signals in plants are very weak and it was extremely difficult to measure, while using new and advanced atomic magnetometers it is measured at amplitude of up to 0.5 picotesla, which is millions of times weaker than the Earth's magnetic field.
• Scientists hope that this can help in identifying how the plant responds to sudden temperature changes, chemicals, and pest attacks
