　　For their experiment, the scientists picked a cabbage plant that is known to send out a gas when its surface is cut. In order to get video evidence of the communication, they changed the cabbage gene by adding the protein - luciderase (虫荧光素酶), which is what makes fireflies (萤火虫) glow in the dark.

　　When the changed cabbage plant was in full bloom, they cut a leaf off with a pair of scissors, and almost immediately, thanks to the luciderase, they could see the plant sending out "methyl jasmonate (茉莉酸甲酯)"．
