We invite you to the 29th Vlčie's lecture cycle.
🟢o minds in cells and plants with František Baluška, plant neurobiologist
Contemporary mainstream science considers plants to be passive organisms, incapable knowledge and behavior. However, Charles and Francis Darwin family noted in 1880 that it was a simplification. Plants actively perceive their environment, use memory and learning and are sensitive to anesthetics. Their organs are actively moving and manipulating the environment, both inanimate and living. In addition, the main strategy of covering plants is the control of animal pollinators and seeds of seeds by providing them with food that is not only nutritious, but enriched with manipulative and addictive substances. Plant consciousness involves understanding all stimuli together in relation to the current environment. To find plenty of water and critical mineral nutrients, the roots examine large areas of soil, while their root tips act as a Darwin organs similar to the brain that allow them to use relationship recognition, recognition of themselves and colonial intelligence. Mushrooms integrate root systems into root networks that not only allow mineral nutrient sharing, but also support fast electrochemical signals over a long distance. Plant consciousness is based on a cellular consciousness that comes from the consciousness of unicellular organisms.
František Baluška is a plant physiologist and a world pioneer of plant neurobiology. He worked at the Botanical Institute of SAS and at the University of Bonn in Germany. In 2008 he was appointed a professor at the PF UK in Bratislava. He founded and is the main editor of two international magazines - Plant Signaling & Behavior and Communicative & Integrative Biology and editor of the Springer Book Series series with the theme of Signaling and Communication in Plants. It is one of the most cited authors and was the first to describe and named the root area, where cells are increased with isodiametrical growth. Excellent natural scientists, philosophers, or practitioners who bring us inspiring views and fresh knowledge. Gorky 2
