The vegetal Revolution, French special file by the magazine “Pour la Science” novembre-décembre 2018, 120 p.

A superb record in french on plant intelligence that explains most of the latest scientific discoveries and presents their political context.
But plant intelligence is like Voldemort in Harry Potter, nobody dares to say his name.
The editor speaks of “vegetable revolution”, “plant neurobiology”, sensitivity, plant mobility, communication between them, predation tactics.
But above all, it shows the little difference between the animal world and the plant one.
A first step to tell us that plants are not so different from us? Certainly not. The newspaper would then be accused of anthropomorphism by scientists!
Plant intelligence is still a taboo.
