Indian scientist JC Bose was first to prove plants have life

On May 10, 1901, Indian scientist Jagadish Chandra Bose became the first to prove that plants have a definite life cycle and reproductive system, like any other life form. Bose studied plants' pulse beat which became unsteady when dipped in poison showing they have life. Bose found plants behave differently under different environmental factors like temperature, chemicals, and humidity.
