  • Sir Jagadish Chandra Bose: Pioneer of Plant Sensitivity Research
    The Indian scientist who discovered that plants respond to external stimuli is Sir Jagadish Chandra Bose.

    He conducted groundbreaking research in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, demonstrating that plants exhibit responses to various external stimuli, including light, touch, chemicals, and even electrical currents. He used innovative methods to measure plant responses, including the invention of the crescograph, a device that amplified the growth of plants.

    Bose's work revolutionized our understanding of plant physiology and established the field of plant neurobiology.
