"Scientists Discover Signs of Intelligence in Plants"
TL;DR
Cornell scientists have discovered that goldenrod plants exhibit a form of intelligence by sensing nearby plants through far-red light ratios and adapting their responses to herbivores. This adaptive behavior, including emitting chemicals to signal neighboring plants to produce defenses, challenges traditional notions of intelligence and suggests that plants can process environmental information and respond flexibly.
