the researchers recorded both healthy and stressed tomato and tobacco plants using microphones. They conducted experiments in a soundproof chamber and later in a greenhouse with background noise. The plants were stressed in two ways, by withholding water for several days and by cutting their stems. The team then trained a machine learning algorithm to distinguish between healthy plants, dehydrated plants, and cut plants.

I recall in college about 14 years ago we spoke about the electric impulses in plants and how they change in reaction to stress
I was thinking about pop science headlines in the nineties, maybe even earlier.
