About the Book

During December 1878, Charles Darwin and his son, Francis carried out what was probably the first experiment to discover whether or not plants responded to sound. Francis played a bassoon loudly close to several different plants and his father also blasted them with a siren. The great man later wrote in a letter to a friend, 'The plants, ill-luck, are not sensitive to aerial vibration. I am ashamed of my blunder'. With his optimism dented that seems to have ended his study of the effect sound had on plants. After that, for decades the study of plant consciousness didn't attract much interest from either professional or amateur scientists. For generations of botanists attributing consciousness - and worse still 'intelligence' - to plants was ludicrous. Plants unquestionably impact on our senses. We admire a pretty flower and savour the fragrant scent of a rose or the smell of the air in a pine wood. But we seldom, if ever, consider the plants themselves to be sensory beings. In fact senses are very important to plants. Unlike animals they are not mobile: they are literally rooted to where they live. They can't move to search for food, escape a plague of insects or shelter from a storm, so to survive they have to be able to sense the environment and react to changing conditions.Although the opinions of scientists on the subject remain polarized, during relatively recent years it has attracted much more interest by the scientific community. It is now generally accepted that plants react to stimuli in previously unknown ways, the discovery of which has had, and will increasingly have, profound influences on the way plants are grown and crops managed. The importance of the subject was recognized in 2009 by The Society of Plant Signalling and Behaviour. the Mission Statement of which recognizes plants as 'Processing organisms with complex, long-distant communication systems within the plant body and extending into the surrounding ecosystem'This book, 'Plant Intelligence - Fact or Fiction', is the product of a considerable amount of research of academic and general publications by the author. It introduces readers to the hitherto secret, fascinating parallel world of plants.
