How might the example of plant intelligence help us design better computers, or robots, or networks?
"Plants perceive competitors and grow away from them," Rick Karban, a plant ecologist at U.C. Davis, explained, when I asked him for an example of plant decision-making.
Moreover, to our knowledge, this is the most complex example of plant genetic engineering to undergo environmental release and field evaluation.
The bioaccessibility and bioavailability of starch (as a digestible carbohydrate), lipids, proteins and functional phytochemicals, such as carotene, are mentioned as an indicator of plant-based food digestibility, including pasta as an example of plant-based processed foods.
That one system of truth is another example of planting roots to build better systems.
One well characterised example of plant PCD is the hypersensitive response (HR), a localised cell death induced by pathogen attacks which allows confinement of the infection [2].
The example of plant line 3 shows that these plants can be identified and be developed into high copy homozygous lines.
The classical example of plant HGT is that the ct-DNA sequences in some tobacco nuclear genomes were probably horizontally acquired from Agrobacterium rhizogenes during ancient infections [ 10].
Although this spectacular example of plant movement has long fascinated scientists, the mechanism by which the trap works remains poorly understood [ 12].
