in an interview Mancuso He described the intricate ways of communication between plants, whether they are truly intelligent, and his discovery was made possible by Fr.means for vegetarians.

While working on his botanist thesis, he saw in the video that a growing root overcame an obstacle in the soil long before it touched it. This got him thinking Plants can be intelligent organisms, and everything we know about the brain applies to plants as well.. Our neurons are ordinary cells that can generate electrical signals. Almost any cell in plants can do this.

by words mancuso, plants able to communicate with each other on an almost human level. That is, they can convey messages that carry a certain meaning to those who can receive them and understand them. Since they could not move freely, they developed other communication systems. The most important of these are volatile substances carried by air. Each molecule carries some information, and by mixing the molecules a relatively complex message can be conveyed.

As for intelligence, the scientist first of all emphasizes that science does not know exactly what intelligence and consciousness are. One approach links consciousness to a different biological function: consciousness is something that is absent while in deep sleep or under anesthesia. Mancuso decided to start by testing whether plants could be put into hibernation mode. He discovered All plants are sensitive to anesthesia just like humans..

We used to think that consciousness had something to do with the brain, but I believe that both consciousness and mind are more bodily, related to the whole body.
says the scientist.

But the biologist believes this no longer means that it is unethical to eat plants. Rather, it is no more unethical than eating beef or chicken. Moreover, unlike animals, plants produce fruit specifically for someone to eat them. But after processing, they need to return to the soil and fertilize it. Otherwise, the natural cycle will be broken.
