Plant nervous system?
I have some basic questions that may have huge implications if certain discoveries are made.
With the Venus fly trap, it is able to catch small insects because of tiny hairs on the inside that when touched, causes the pod to close around its prey.
My question is, without even a basic nervous system, how can it respond this way? Even the most basic reflexes of organisms have a very basic system.
Could you fill me in on how this works?
My thought is that if we find that plants have a nervous system of sorts, that that may have properties that would enable us to breed plants with more than just simple reflexes. Is this possible?
