Midori-san, the blogging houseplant
If houseplants could blog, what would they say? To find out, Kamakura-based IT company KAYAC Co., Ltd. has developed a sophisticated botanical interface system that lets plants post their thoughts online. A succulent Sweetheart Hoya (Hoya kerii) named “Midori-san” is now using the system to blog daily from its home at bowls Donburi Cafe in Kamakura.

Florianne Koechlin, Rheinauer Thesen zu Pflanzenrechten
Florianne Koechlin beschreibt in ihren Ausführungen Forschungsergebnisse und Konzepte zu Pflanzenrechten etc. Die Rheinauer Thesen sind höchst interessant, noch vor 60 Jahren war Tierschutz kein Thema, es wird dringend Zeit diesen Prozess im Sinne der Botanik zu starten. Die Thesen sind ein sympathischer Vorstoss dahin.

das klingt interessant:
a Japanese company has created a gadget that puts you in touch with the ‘feelings’ of plants.
This gadget gauges the electrical activity in plants and can register a plant’s response when exposed to music. The device is called the Plantone and has two sensor clips that are attached to the leaves of the plant.
When the device’s lamp turns red, it means a strong electrical current has passed within the plant’s cells. It signifies a positive response. A green light on the other hand occurs when the cell electrical signals are weak, signifying a negative or unhappy response.
