Basically, you know that experiment where you make celery turn red or blue (so you can see the xylem)?

Scientists made a chemical called ETE-S that creates "living wires" in the plant's xylem, allowing them to conduct electricity.

Furthermore, the plant's conductive ability is amplified because the chemicals that the plant secretes in response are also conductive.
