Can plants have personalities? Yes or no, and explain what exactly constitutes as personality
>>
>>9033611
No.
>>
>>9033619
They all probably react to stimuli slightly differently, and so the answer could be a 'maybe yes'.

That's not enough of an answer buddy
>>9033620
You gave a possible definition for personality, so I guess that will do for now
>>
No, plants would need long term memory, or a brain for that matter, for a personality. If they can somehow think without one maybe, but most likely, no

There is legit behavioral research in animals which includes spiders
I am not convinced that long-term memory and thinking is somehow a requirement for personality, so unless you give arguments for why that is so, your opinion is discarded

Yes.

I had a pet dandelion called Egbert and he told the funniest jokes.

No, you need a central nervous system to have a "you". A plant is a cluster of cells that works together to stay alive.

Anecdotes and imaginary friends don't count

>No, you need a central nervous system to have a "you".
And why is that?
Besides, the way I see it personality is simply different types of behaviour
I'm not asking if plants have identities
>>
>>9033906
>>9033863

we are also just clusters of cells. I think all of us will agree that consciousness or the abilities of our brain aren't instrinsic to its structural qualities (i.e. being made of specific types of neurons). Surely its possible that there can be analogues of a central nervous system - atleast doing a similar role - that isn't made from neurons.

don't know if relevant to personality but this is a legit very interesting article on plant cognition. It also looks at potential cells in a plant that can have similar roles as a central nervous system

desu im not sure we can answer this question properly because we define personality usually in purely human terms. it might not apply at all to plants unless you yourself can find a good definition.

Lovely numbers
If you are interested I actually read this
But most of it I have forgotten so I want to reread it
>>
>>9034005
There is personality research on animals, I imagine personality as different types of behaviour
Of course then we need to define behaviour, which I would describe as different reactions towards stimuli

If the same species of plants differ in the way they react to stimuli, say light, herbivores and so on, you could argue that plants might indeed have personalities

Intuitively it of course makes no sense for plants to have personality, but if you reduce personality to behaviour, behaviour to reactions to stimuli, one could make the case for it - and feel free to prove this wrong

>>9033611
Plants can adapt to their micro-climate environment & special stimuli then display characteristics that the same species will not show in a different environment or with different stimuli.

No. They probably do not have a self-referential subjective experience, although I have a suspicion that a plants vascular system or root-myco networks. They do have umwelten however.
