INTELLIGENCE AS SMART ADAPTATION. "He defined “intelligent behavior” as “the ability to adapt to changing circumstances” and noted that it “must always be measured relative to a particular environment.” https://lnkd.in/dvFaNgd View in LinkedIn

PUBLICATIONS. "Plant behaviour and intelligence by Anthony Trewavas, Brilliant green: The surprising history and science of plant intelligence by Stefano Mancuso and Alessandro Viola (2015), or Michael Marder’s (2013) Plant-thinking: A philosophy of vegetal life, are but a sample of the ever-increasing number of publications devoted in the last decade to the scientific and philosophical study of plant intelligence." http://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11229-016-1040-1 View in LinkedIn

“SYNTHETIC REACTIONS, that in a factory or laboratory would require heat, pressure and harsh chemicals are performed in every plant cell at ambient temperatures with green reagents. But they did have a 700 million year evolutionary head-start.” https://lnkd.in/d_pqCEE View in LinkedIn

GREEN CHEMISTS. "We know now that much of a plant's rich behavioural repertoire is hard to observe because it is played out in a chemical arena. Plants overcome the constraints of immobility mainly by harnessing their prowess as synthetic organic chemists." http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v522/n7556/full/522282a.html View in LinkedIn

DATA SUPPORTED. "The idea that plants are 'smarter' than their immobility suggests is now supported by rigorous experimentation and fieldwork that are uncovering the genes and chemicals that mediate plants' environmental intelligence." http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v522/n7556/full/522282a.html View in LinkedIn

LEAF PLASTICITY. "The authors interpret these patterns as a case of leaf mimicry, where leaf shape in B. trifoliata is strongly phenotypically plastic, with the leaves of a given individual mimicking those of their host." Not bad for plants with no eyes. http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0960982214003881 View in LinkedIn
