Maybe you know what woronin bodies are.
I have an experiment on how well certain plants (mainly lettuce, tomatoes and sweet peppers) grow under artificial light sources. (LED vs Fluorencent vs cassual sunlight as reffrence) with each pauses of a bunch of hours at night. So far has the lettuce started to sprout like I was expecting at all the three plastic green houses.
So eh, what's up with the rest of you all?

Anyone know a good book for identifying molds, yeast and/or macrofungi?
What's the diffrence between vegetatitve structures and reproductive structures ?
>>8718667
Ok I found it by myself
Vegetative structures serve the purpose of getting and stocking food
Reproductive structures allows the pathogen to produce spores and shit so it can travel distances, spread and infect other plants

I have a topic: Mimosa pudica.
It is at least capable of simple learning through conditioning. Is Mimosa sentient?
>>8719192
why would reacting to motion cause sentience
>>8719192
Are sponges sentient?
>>8719232
As it is capable of learning and short-term memory, it must have a consciousness of some sort.
