PLANT CALCULATIONS. "Plants make the starch reserves they produce during the day last almost precisely until dawn. Researchers once thought that plants break down starch at a fixed rate during the night. But then they observed that the diminutive weed Arabidopsis thaliana, a plant favoured for laboratory work, could recalculate that rate on the fly when subjected to an unusually early or late night." https://lnkd.in/dVhi2pB View in LinkedIn

PLASTICITY AND INTELLIGENCE. "Plasticity is the degree to which an organism can be changed in response to environmental signals and is...a clear example of plant intelligence. Plasticity can be expressed in both physiology and morphology." http://aob.oxfordjournals.org/content/92/1/1.full View in LinkedIn

PLANT COMMUNICATION. "The information that is being communicated between tissues and cells is now known to be extraordinarily complex. Communication involves nucleic acids, oligonucleotides, proteins and peptides, minerals, oxidative signals, gases, hydraulic and other mechanical signals, electrical signals, lipids, wall fragments (oligosaccharides), growth regulators, some amino acids, secondary products of many kinds, minerals and simple sugars." http://aob.oxfordjournals.org/content/92/1/1.full View in LinkedIn

PLANT ELECTRICITY. "In the 1980s, scientists discovered that phloem cells also function as a communication system through which electrical signals travel. This is similar to the electrical signals transmitted through the neurons in your nervous system. In both plants and animals, electrical signals function in an analogous manner. They transmit information from one location to another." https://lnkd.in/dNJuzzz View in LinkedIn
