Plant intelligence

J. C. Bose has been described as the "father of plant neurobiology".[1]

Plant intelligence is a field of plant biology which aims to understand how plants process the information they obtain from their environment.[2][3] Plant intelligence has been defined as "any type of intentional and flexible behavior that is beneficial and enables the organism to achieve its goal".[4]

Plant neurobiology is a subfield of plant intelligence research that claims plants possess abilities associated with cognition including anticipation, decision making, learning and memory.[5][6][7][8] Terminology used in plant neurobiology is rejected by the majority of plant scientists as misleading, as plants do not possess consciousness or neurons.[9][10][11][12]
