PLANTS ARE THINKERS



PLANTS ARE THINKERS

    Thinking plants? How can plants think since they have no nerves, while to think a creature needs a brain, centre of nerves.
Unlike animals and humans, plants have no nerves and have no brains. Plants cannot feel temperatures, pains and comfortable feeling and they “cannot” think.   
  Although plants have no brains it is often found in many million cases that plants behave as if they have this important organs when they face normal and as well as in critical conditions.         
        This amazing phenomenons are directed by plants' DNA. DNA is a physiological commander of what have to be done by the plants' cells and is a genetically passed on trough generations.

For evample root cells know that they have to go downward to where the nutritions are located. At the tip of the roots the cells build  hard cells to penetrate soils. Shoots grow upward to the light so that the leaves can assimilate water and carbondioxide inside the leaves. 
With the sunshine as the catalyst, leaves make this gas and water into sugar for their energy. Plants make their leaves thin and broad so that they can have larger  surfaces to be exposed to air thus assimilations become more abundant. 

 
   Rice Plants (Oryza sativa) Lifted Their Filling Panicles to Avoid Being Submerged In Water.
 
An experimental rice plant were swept by a flush flood. Then the crops were fallen and drowned in a shallow water.  Four days afterward the filling  panicles which formerly were drowned, were uplifted by the stem  thus avoiding the grains and panicles from rotting. The rice has an emergency actions to save the  grains. 
How this could happened? Who teach the rice to do so?

 Corn which Were Planted Without Bunds Grew More Adventive Roots.

  In a trial where corns were planted without bund along its plant rows, grew more adventive roots fom the first, second and third lowest nodes. Bund is soil mound made along the plant row. In this trial some plots of corn were not bunded as tradionally conducted by farmers but using applications of paraquat and glifosate herbicides to control weeds. 
Originally the purpose of the trial was to compare economic benefit between weeding using herbicides compared to traditional weeding i. e. using small hoes and bunding along the plant rows. For this story we are not comparing the yields but observing a certain interesting symptoms.  
Unbunded corns grew more adventive roots in the nodes near the soil and were stronger than bunded corn when they were blown by the wind. Number of corn stems fallen on the ground were more in the bunded plots. 
What I am trying to explain here is that when corns were not bunded, they tried to maintain their stems to stand by producing adventive roots.  This symptoms indicated that in a certain situation where plants feel endangered, they apply some emergency programs man never know what, except when the plants’ are treated with severe dangers. Corns are obeying all programs they are bringing in their DNA.

Bratawali (Tinospora crispa)Knows Priorities
 
Twenty centimeter of medicinal herb named Bratawali was cut incidentally from its base and was hung on a branch of a tree so that it has no access to soil. 
From the lowest part of the stem a thread-size root grew down two meters long to the ground. After it reached the soil, the thread like root grew bigger and able to absorbed water and nutrients. Later shoots and leaves grew from the hung stem. 
Bratawali knows how to absorbs nutrient although it was cat from its base. It knows how to save energy by growing the thread like root very small at first and and becoming bigger after it had reached the soil.
Who does teach Bratawali to make priority by growing very thin root first before reaching the soil?
Who does teach Bratawali to grow root from the lowest part of the hanging stem. Tinosporas know where to grow the aerial root, they know that soil is the sources of nutrients and they know how to save energy by growing small root first. 


Picture 3: A sewing-thread-size aerial root grow down to the soil from a two meter high hanging Tinospora stem. The stem image is not shown.




Ipomoea (Ipomoea aquatica) Vegetable Plants Know the Source of Light.
 
  A bundle of Ipomoea which leaves had been plucked to be cooked, was thrown to a small shallow pond. Some days later from the horizontally laid bundle grew some shoots which grew upward to the light. From some nodes grew downward some roots.
  Ipomoea understands that shoots should grow up to the light and roots go downs in search for nutrients although they have no brain.

Plants Have Programs to Save Themselves from Damaged in the Normal and Emergency Situations. 
 
Plants are obeying what are written in their DNA within their chromosome in the cell nuclei. Plants carry these orders down to their descendants through their seeds or spores or vegetatively through their organs.
     Millions of miracles have been happening in nature but many think that those are not amazing enough to be appreciated but only normal incidents that not to be thought about. 

     Fifteen centuries ago, Messenger Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him)  received revelation from  Allah (Glory Is To Allah) through Jibril (Gabriel) telling Muhammad (PBUH) the words  Moses had spoken answering Pharaoh of Egypt.  

He said: "Our Lord is Who gave to each (created) thing its form and nature, and further, gave (it) guidance" 
 
TQS, Thaahaa (20):50
This is a conversation between Moses (UHBP) and the Pharaoh of Egypt 5000 years ago.
Translation by 'Abdullah Yusuf  'Ali 

Allah (GITH) has created rice, corn, Ipomoea  and Tinospora's forms as they are and has given guidance to them to  live according to their functions through the messages in the genes within DNA.
