    I have read through the two articles that you linked as sources. Neither is a credible source, as neither points at any point to a scientific study that comes close to recognizing sentience in plants. It’s once again anthropomorphism. At best, drawing wrong conclusions from real studies, at worst, fiction.

    I have an open mind, but I’m only interested in scientific studies, not unproven hypotheticals or personal interpretations of plant behaviors.

    If you do have credible studies (by that, I mean peer reviewed and published) on plant sentience, then by all means, please share them.

    These sources have as much value to me as some random article on the memory of water.

      Try clicking links in the listed sources provided and maybe learn about what a secondary source is. Secondary sources ARE credible sources.

        I have. None of them claim plants are sentient or are capable to feel suffering. Or any other indication that points to sentience rather than (complex) response to stimuli.

        That is because while you and others might associate these responses to indications of sentience, scientists do not.

        Only talking about credible secondary sources, of course.
