Secondary metabolites

The title may be misleading in suggesting that plants think, even though this is an interesting question. The argument here is how plants have evolved either by accident or by some ‘natural’ intelligence to exert effects on our thoughts.

The growth of scientific studies involving plants towards matching with the ever increasing demands of development is indispensible, at which our efforts on research are aimed in line with the requirement. The interdisciplinary field that generates discussion and research between environment and plant science including human-focused themes is highlighted in this article. In particular, the strategies to wipe out the main bottleneck of studies on plants are briefed so that they could be visualised by the prospective researchers in future.

en_US
Globally, plants are becoming extinct at an unprecedented rate. Seed banking is considered as the most cost-effective technique to preserve many conservation concern species. From a practical standpoint, however, banking seeds is essentially just the first step in tackling plant loss, as the real-life challenge lies in how well these seeds when re-introduced become whole plants and maintain species count. In the current model, merely very few seed banks extend their efforts in re-introduction problems. Compelling evidence suggests that many re-introduction efforts are less than successful. Such axiom convicts seed banks must also participate in the ‘post-storage’ process and engage working with other ecologists, physiologists and re-introduction practitioners to devise a robust re-introduction practice and exchange information about the seed lot including collection site, maternal environment etc. Bridging these gaps would facilitate enhanced restoration practice and pave way for efficient reconstruction of the ecosystem.

Fabaceae;
tropics;
impermeable seed coat;
GBIF;
ecological adaptation
en_US
Physical dormancy (PY) is a phenomenon wherein seed coats are impermeable to water. This feature prevents immediate germination in seeds, therefore considered as an adaptive trait in species of Mediterranean and tropical ecosystem, where rainy season is the most favorable time for germination. However, using dataset available for Fabaceae collected from global biodiversity information facility (GBIF), the largest family with PY, recent studies have provided evidence contrasting this assertion. This viewpoint has arisen owing to the fact that the data were gleaned by georeferencing the Fabaceae species distribution from GBIF, which is under-represented for the tropical vegetation. This is similar to other reports available in other plant and animal distribution models, where GBIF data is not an accurate representation of distribution. A closer inspection of the data available in literature suggests that using GBIF database alone to map the distribution of Fabaceae species represents the extreme end of biased data causing misperception and could mislead the scientific community, particularly ecologists, conservationists and/or policy makers.
