This source is used as context evidence across 1 linked claim and 3 related evidence hubs. Its citation record is marked verified; that verifies the source trail, not the truth of any linked claim.
Summary
Survey of the controversial research program on plant signaling, learning-like behavior, memory-like responses, and putative cognition, along with criticism that cognition language may overstate plant mechanisms.
How this source is used on the map
Use this for context around plant intelligence claims. It supports plant responsiveness and signaling, not the stronger claim that plants have subjective experience or pain.

Use this as the philosophical background for solipsism and for disputed minds in non-human or artificial systems. It is context, not direct evidence that any specific entity is conscious.
Important for distinguishing plant intelligence from plant consciousness: the former is a live conceptual debate, the latter remains much more speculative.
Useful pro-plant-cognition context, but it addresses signaling and adaptive behavior rather than subjective experience.
Primary skeptical anchor for the plant-consciousness page.
Keeps the plant-consciousness page from confusing complex plant signaling with evidence of felt experience.
