When interacting with the environment, plant roots integrate sensory information over space
and time in order to respond appropriately under non-uniform conditions. The complexity …

Plants have evolved many capabilities to anchor, position their stems and leaves favourably,
and adapt themselves to different environmental conditions by virtue of growing …

Information processing is an essential part of biology, enabling coordination of intra-
organismal processes such as development, environmental adaptation and inter-organismal …

As miscellaneous as the Plant Kingdom is, correspondingly diverse are the opportunities for
taking inspiration from plants for innovations in science and engineering. Especially in …

Mounting evidence suggests that plants engage complex computational processes to
quantify and integrate sensory information over time, enabling remarkable adaptive growth …

Plant organs adapt their morphology according to environmental signals through growth-
driven processes called tropisms. While much effort has been directed towards the …

Modeling and simulating the growth of the branching of tree species remains a challenge.
With existing approaches, we can reconstruct or rebuild the branching architectures of real …

There is growing evidence that plants possess abilities associated with cognition, such as
decision-making, anticipation and learning. And yet, the cognitive status of plants continues …

Based on the literature on human consciousness, we suggest that to demonstrate sentience
in a system, one needs to demonstrate both conscious and unconscious processing in the …

Background In recent years, there has been an increase of interest in plant behaviour as
represented by growth-driven responses. These are generally classified into nastic …
