Are plants intelligent? Can they solve problems, communicate, and navigate their surroundings? Or are they passive, incapable of independent action or social behavior? Philosophers and scientists have pondered these questions since ancient Greece, most often concluding that plants are unthinking and inert: they are too silent, too sedentary -- just too different from us. Yet discoveries over the past fifty years have challenged these ideas, shedding new light on the extraordinary capabilities and complex interior lives of plants.

Des chercheurs montrent que les végétaux ne se redressent pas à la verticale en sentant la gravité mais en mesurant leur inclinaison.
DocBiodiv's insight:
Lisez le communiqué de presse de l'INRA puisque ses chercheurs et ceux du CNRS et de l’Université Blaise Pascal  ont publié l'étude dont il est question ici "Le tour de force perceptif des plantes pour se maintenir à la verticale" http://presse.inra.fr/Ressources/Communiques-de-presse/Le-tour-de-force-perceptif-des-plantes-pour-se-maintenir-a-la-verticale

Interspecific Interactions
 

The news that a flowering weed—mousear cress (Arabidopsis thaliana)—can sense the particular chewing noise of its most common caterpillar predator and adjust its chemical defenses in response led to headlines announcing the discovery of the first “hearing” plant. As plants lack central nervous…
