Default Do plants have brain?

Not so Paul Atreides.

The Mimosa plant quickly folds up its leaves because of a rapid drop in
water pressure akin to wilting. No nervous system is needed at all.

You really should read up on your basic botany instead making wild flights
of fantasy. The truth is far more interesting.

The message CUxgc.11$mv.3@newsfe1-win
from "Ch. Rajinder Nijjhar Jatt"
contains these words:

It may seem a silly question but I have heard that the plants have
"lesser brain", the seat of instincts.


Some plants will react to being touched by rapidly becoming flaccid, so
some sort of nervous system could be involved.
