Re: COULD YOU DIRECT ME TO THE ARTICLES ON PLANTS' EMOTIONS

The articles you are looking for sound like they are based on C. Backster 
in Intl. Journal of Parapsychology vol.10, p.329 (1968) or The Secret Life 
of Plants by Thompkins and Bird (1973).  They may have been repeated in 
other sources, also.  I have read these and they are fun, but should not 
be confused with science since they are not repeatable under controlled 
conditions.  We may be MAD, but we are still SCIENTISTS!

If you look up those, you should also check out Horowitz, Lewis, and 
Gasteiger in Science, vol.189, pp 478-480 (1975).  They repeated the 
experiments of Backster, but with more sensitive instruments, and found 
only random changes in electrical conductivity.  Even a synthetic sponge 
soaked in salt water will exhibit random changes in electrical 
conductivity.  If an experiment is performed often enough, the changes 
will correlate with something sometimes.  To be science, it needs to be 
repeatable.

Plants do some amazing things.  Photosynthesis is amazing, as is splitting 
water molecules.  Plants can even communicate with each other by releasing 
chemicals into the air.  These chemicals were "extrasensory" to humans 
until we developed instruments sensitive enough to detect them.  So, 
plants do not need to be endowed with superhuman attributes to be 
impressive.

If you want more information in some of these areas you might try the site 
at Lock Haven University for extensive links and bibliography.
