Talking to Plants 

The Royal Horticultural Society in the UK, is conducting research into whether the human voice affects tomato plants. According to the Times Online, open auditions are being held tomorrow at the RHS garden, Wisley, Surrey, to find voices which can make recordings. It is proposed that the recordings will be played 24/7, via headphones attached to plant pots, for ten plants in the study.

Clearly, results will be dependant on the acoustic properties of the pot and I believe that various species may show marked differences in their preferences for the rhythmic nature of the sound being broadcast. In previously unpublished research, it has been observed by an unreliable but otherwise amiable source, that the genetically modified tomato, TOMASH, responds vigorously to Reggae.

Tomash 

Tomash plant - genetically modified tomatoThe Activity Holidays Guide team have learned that a major soup manufacturer have succeeded in producing a genetically modified tomato. They plan launching a new range of soups based on the plant, which has been called a Tomash, and the soup is expected to be of particular interest to mountaineers, since initial field trials have indicated that participants reach new highs.

A special thank you to Zager and Soultga from Stock.XCHNG, whose expertise was invaluable in allowing me to obtain this exclusive image of the Tomash plant.
