"INTELLIGENCE is not a term commonly used when plants are discussed. However, I believe that this is an omission based not on a true assessment of the ability of plants to compute complex aspects of their environment, but solely a reflection of a sessile lifestyle." http://aob.oxfordjournals.org/content/92/1/1.full View in LinkedIn

MAZES AND MOTION. "However, in animal terms, behaviour is equated with movement, and since plants exhibit little if any form of movement, plant intelligence on that basis does not exist." http://aob.oxfordjournals.org/content/92/1/1.full View in LinkedIn

OPEN CONNECTED SYSTEM. "The plant does not organize its milieu; it is comprised of a series of internal communicative networks (e.g., biochemical and hormonal channels, or synaptic cell-cell communication) and external communication pathways that connect it to its environment. It is, thus, an open system, coupled with its environment." http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.4161/psb.21954#abstract View in LinkedIn

NEW PARADIGM RESISTANCE. "When it is observed that intelligence is not concentrated in a single organ but is a property of the entire living being and, moreover, that intelligent behavior cannot be divorced from the context that elicits it, several longstanding Western biases are disrupted." http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.4161/psb.21954#abstract View in LinkedIn
