| Given the significant symbiosis humans have with plant life it’s surprising that scientific research in this area is only just beginnning to evolve in recent years (comparative to the speed and depth of other scientific disciplines). However botany was only established or recognised as a formal science in the 1800’s. In the past 10 years more scientific research, information and evidence is emerging on plant physiology, adaptive behaviour and signalling, and new strands of specialist research have been established such as plant neurobiology. | Given the significant symbiosis humans have with plant life it’s surprising that scientific research in this area is only just beginning to evolve in recent years (comparative to the speed and depth of other scientific disciplines).
