Traditionally, intelligence is associated with the brain; until recently, our understanding of intelligence in plants was limited. However, there is a paradigm shift in the traditional perception: intelligence is now defined as how quickly and efficiently an organism adapts to its surroundings. Plants are good examples here, because they constantly respond and adapt to their surroundings. This book is a comprehensive study of the scientific literature on intelligent survival strategies of plants.
Features:
- Provides a scientific basis for the intelligent survival strategies by plants under the changing environment
- Book content is substantiated with examples of intelligent behavior in plants
- Comparative account of intelligent behavior in plants with that in animals is also discussed
- Brief information about some of the scientists working in this field is included
The book will serve as a reference book for undergraduate students interested in an introduction to the subject of plant intelligence. It will also open up a reservoir of information for post-graduate students, teachers, and researchers by providing insight into this new emerging concept of plant intelligence. The book discusses the theoretical and experimental aspects of mechanisms for understanding plant perception and signaling that further demonstrates purposeful behavior and the active decisions made by plants.
