Eating a leaf off a plant may not kill it, but that doesn't mean the plant likes it. The newest study to examine the intelligence (or at least behavior) of plants finds that plants can tell when they're being eaten -- and send out defenses to stop it from happening.We’ve been hearing for decades about the complex intelligence of plants; last year’s excellent New Yorker piece is a good place to start, if you want to learn more about the subject. But a new study, conducted by researchers at the University of Missouri, managed to figure out one new important element: plants can tell when they’re being eaten, and they don’t like it.The word “intelligence,” when applied to any non-human animal or plant, is imprecise and sort of meaningless; research done to determine “intelligence” mostly just aims to learn how similar the inner workings of another organism is to a human thought process. There’s certainly nothing evolutionarily important about these sorts of intelligence studies; a chimp is not superior to a chicken just because chimps can use tools the same way humans do. But these studies are fascinating, and do give us insight into how other organisms think and behave, whatever “think” might mean.This particular study was on the ever-popular Arabidopsis, specifically the thale cress, easily the most popular plant for experimentation. It’s in the brassica family, closely related to broccoli, kale, mustard greens, and cabbage, though unlike most of its cousins it isn’t very good to eat. This particular plant is so common for experiments because it was the first plant to have its genome sequenced, so scientists understand its inner workings better than almost any other plant.Read More @http://modernfarmer.com/2014/10/plants-can-tell-theyre-eaten/

  • Well... In my many hours of playing Soulblazer for the SNES, I learned that Plants in Dr Leo's lab have leaves that are medical herbs. Upon talking to the plant I learned that it doesn't mind helping you with one of it's leaves, so long as you don't take more then you can carry, which is one. There is a lot you can learn in that game. Did you know that a dresser feels useless if there is nothing kept inside?

    • Interesting Phaedron..I will try talking to plants they are probably more friendly then most humans
  • Very interesting ...best say your prayers before eating.

"Note that devic lifeforms, such as 3I/Atlas, possess a nickel skin, metallic scales, as well as nickel-based blood corpuscles, rather than iron, as with humans...In fact, they have a mix, with nickel being present at 90%...So iron is insignificant…"
