Letting Plants be Plants
March 24, 2021 @ 6:30 pm - 7:30 pm
The Master Gardeners Association of Alberta presents:
“Letting Plants be Plants” – A behavioural perspective of plant biology
Speaker: Dr. James (JC) Cahill, Professor of Ecology, University of Alberta
Plants have been around for a very long time, and they face a number of challenges because they remain in one location for the duration of their lives. Our understanding of plant biology continues to shift as scientists begin to unravel and identify complex behaviours performed by plants in our gardens. Plants regularly recognize kin, communicate, find and fight over food, and undertake many more complex phenomena, all without a brain! Join Dr. Cahill as he discusses some of his group’s current research and that of others, which combined helps us understand how plants live their lives.
