"Even though they lack specialized nerve cells, they do have a primitive nervous system that transmits electrical signals."If plants have developed such intricate and specialized forms of communication and self-preservation, I wonder how chemicalized factory farming and monoculture has affected them.

This sounds similar to a wonderful program called 'the private life of plants' which was on the BBC a while back with David Attenborough. Unfortunately it only seems to be available on video, it was beautiful to watch. Lots of time lapse photography, where the plants seem to really come to life.
Love David Attenborough, so excitable. I thought this was him, sounded like him.
It's amazing how many things in common living things have.
Andrew Sachs is the bloke who played Manuel on 'Fawlty Towers', for those who've seen it.
Manuel on Fawlty Towers! You're kidding...
omg, you're not kidding.
LOVE this video! Hope you don't mind if I post a link on FB (and in the Root)!
