Leaves see.
Leaves see.
Leaves see.Look at their sensitivity to light and actual energy use of it. There's an adjuster making decisions clearly evidenced. One cannot say that a leaf is not sensitive to light and capable of mediating and transforming light information. 50,000 information gathering sources for a sensitive adjuster suggest plant may be capable of seeing.

Re: Leaves see.
Difficult to comment until you define 'see', 'seeing', 'sight' etc.

Re: Leaves see.
My grandma used to say dogs could see more with their noses than we could see with our eyes.
Is there a Dogplant?

Leaves see? Unbeleavable Jeff!
Re: Leaves see.
Yes, Fenwick. Each photo-receptive leaf cell could be the equivalent of a pixel on a digital image taken from a digital camera. Not only that but sensitive to energy, maybe even self-taste-as incoming information, as a form of visual and from that sensual and with movement, plant synesthesia.
Plants exhibit a high degree of controlled movement and reciprocation with their environment and nobody really knows where the plants seat of operations are, just as much as nobody really knows where and what consciousness is.
So plants may see and be entirely visually aware and looking.

Re: Leaves see.
Very interesting things, are leaves.
When light hits their photoreceptors it is transduced into a chemical signal that triggers the production of auxins which mediate the elongation of the shaded side of a shoot to ensure the plant always grows towards the light stimulus. The signal ensures the roots do the opposite, in growing away from the light stimulus.
Lie a shoot on its side on top of some soil, and eventually it's possible that it'll have 'moved' to be upright.

Re: Leaves see.
ksrclaret, we have no way of knowing what that sense mediation of light phenomena, is.

Re: Leaves see.
A few years ago scientists discovered that calcium ions are involved in the chemical signals sent by some receptors. That suggests that communication between different parts of a plant and indeed with neighbouring plants is electrical, which is of course the basis of nervous communication.
Lots still to uncover about the internal molecular environment of plants.
Re: Leaves see.
Buxton's grandma may have a point, if dogs could Cartesian space locate a perceived external world as a kind of lazer image, a bit like bats and sound.
