Reproduction in Plants

Off-springs of plants are produced through two means

• Sexual reproduction and

• Asexual reproduction

Plant’s self-defence

Plants may appear to be helpless in the face of

hungry, but many plants have evolved interesting

systems of self-defense.

Some of them are:

• Toxins

• Stings

• Blade of coarse grass

• Emission of gases etc

If you think that….

Plants are at the bottom of the food chain for a

reason. Having no brains or feelings or ability

to move or sense of humour, they fit the

definition of "organism" only on a most basic

level.

Which is very very …. wrong

Factors demanding the existence of brain in

plants

• They have structures analogous to neurons in

animals

• They can communicate, respond, fight etc.

• They can even do complex algorithms.

• Ability to memorize things (mimosa).

Mimosa

• Ability to communicate with and alarm other

plants

by chemical signaling.

Death of animals which grazed in group

Animals which survived when grazed individually

Tree under attack

Surrounding trees

Signaling in

gaseous form

• They have ability to respond to around 15 to 20

Environmental variables.

• Can they read your mind? (backster experiment).

Plant’s reaction at the imaged intension to burn

• They can produce electrical impulses similar to

impulses produced by neurons in animals(venus fly

trap)

Venus flytrap

• They have ability to recognize kin and act

altruistically(pallida).

CONCLUSION

Although Plants don't have a nervous system

and brain in the same way that we do, they

do have a rudimentary nerve structure that

allows them to learn, adjust, feel, fight etc.
