Indian scientist JC Bose was first to prove plants have life
Indian scientist Jagadish Chandra Bose was the first to prove that plants are like any other life form in 1901. Bose studied plants' pulse beat which became unsteady when dipped in poison showing they have life. He also demonstrated the electrical nature of plant stimuli, earlier thought to be chemical, while his Crescograph recorded plants' movement under a magnetic scale.
