Plant’s self- defence Plants may appear to be helpless in the face of hungry, but many plants have evolved interesting systems of self- defense . Some of them are: Toxins Stings Blade of coarse grass Emission of gases etc
Do plants have brain ???
If you think that…. Plants are at the bottom of the food chain for a reason. Having no brains or feelings or ability to move or sense of humour, they fit the definition of "organism" only on a most basic level. Which is very very …. wrong
Factors demanding the existence of brain in plants They have structures analogous to neurons in animals They can communicate, respond, fight etc. They can even do complex algorithms.
Ability to memorize things (mimosa). Mimosa Ability to communicate with and alarm other plants by chemical signaling.
Death of animals which grazed in group
Animals which survived when grazed individually
Tree under attack Surrounding trees Signaling in gaseous form
They have ability to respond to around 15 to 20 Environmental variables. Can they read your mind? ( backster experiment). Plant’s reaction at the imaged intension to burn
They can produce electrical impulses similar to impulses produced by neurons in animals( venus fly trap) Venus flytrap
They have ability to recognize kin and act altruistically( pallida ). Pallida plant
CONCLUSION Although Plants don't have a nervous system and brain in the same way that we do, they do have a rudimentary nerve structure that allows them to learn, adjust, feel, fight etc.
