Plant Response as a Means of Physiological Investigation - Gyan Books

About The Book:*Plant Response as a Means of Physiological Investigation* by Jagadis Chandra Bose explores the idea that plants, like animals, exhibit physiological responses to external stimuli such as light, heat, mechanical touch, and chemicals. Bose developed highly sensitive instruments to measure these minute reactions, revealing that plants show electrical and mechanical responses similar to nerve and muscle reactions in animals. Through rigorous experiments, he demonstrated that growth, movement, and other vital functions in plants are governed by measurable bioelectric signals. His work challenged the rigid distinction between plant and animal life, laying the foundation for modern plant electrophysiology and biophysics.
