NO DISTRACTION. "The dispersion of intentionality in plants does not signify a permanent state of distraction due to their inability to achieve anything like lasting concentration." http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.4161/psb.21954#abstract View in LinkedIn

DISPERSED INTENTIONALITY. ""The world of higher plants furnishes a perfect image of dispersed intentionality in modular development or iterative growth: adaptively variable growth is uneven and involves complex branching patterns that effectively respond to sub-optimal niche conditions in order to recover the optimal niche for a given plant. Each shoot and part of root pursues its own trajectory of intentionality, reflecting the uneven distribution of resources to which it strives and, most often, contributing to the asymmetry of the whole." http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.4161/psb.21954#abstract View in LinkedIn

INTENTIONALITY. "Scattered trajectories of intentionality are also characteristic of plant life. Colonies of lower plants feature social intelligence, akin to that of a beehive or an anthill." http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.4161/psb.21954#abstract View in LinkedIn

INJURY SIGNALS. "There's other experiments where we've shown if we injure that mother tree experimentally that she will also send defence signals out to other seedlings around her." http://www.abc.net.au/radionational/programs/futuretense/the-underestimated-power-of-plants/7227008 View in LinkedIn

TREE KIN. "The mother trees are providing a favourable environment for the regeneration of their own kin, their own genes. That is one example of forests behaving like a family." http://www.abc.net.au/radionational/programs/futuretense/the-underestimated-power-of-plants/7227008 View in LinkedIn
