Plants think. Plants are intelligent.

It can communicate with those who take good care of it, no matter how far away; it will remember those who have broken its kind and express fear; in order to deceive those who are hostile to it, it will pretend to be in a coma. It seems that if you can't escape a bullet, you can at least get a more pleasant death. Is it true that plants have wisdom, and they can think?

Neobotany researchers believe that plants are sensitive and can solve problems. They have no brains, but they can behave like intelligent creatures in ways that we don't fully understand. Plants can remember what happened to them and learn from them.

Monica? Galliano is a very talented and crazy plant physiologist, or, in her own words, a "plant neurobiologist". She transplanted a lot of mimosa into flowerpots and did this famous experiment.

Mimosa

As early as the 18th century, humans knew that whenever the mimosa encountered any touch or threat, it would close the leaflets all the way to the stem from the tip of the leaf. Galliano's experiment is to make these potted mimosa fall to the ground from a fixed height, so as to simulate the movement of touch, allowing them to accept a mild physical shock. At the beginning, they all closed the leaves together, looking very repellent. When it comes to the second and third falls, there are fewer mimosa that will put the leaves together. After falling many times, none of the plants will close the leaves.

Simulation experiment drawing

The traditional botanist who saw the experiment said, "they're just tired!" But Monica did the same experiment on the same group of plants a week later, and again a month later, and they all responded the same: they no longer responded to being thrown to the ground by closing the leaves. But if they are stimulated in traditional ways, such as scratching them with their hands, they will immediately close the leaves.

By contrast, bees can only remember where they are going to collect honey for three days. But mimosa can clearly "remember" the difference between a superficial threat and a real threat, and maintain that discrimination.
