In 2016 we reported evidence for associative learning in plants (Gagliano et al., 2016).

Zusammenfassung:In 2016 we reported evidence for associative learning in plants (Gagliano et al., 2016).

However, as we discuss here, the protocol employed by Markel was unsuitable for testing for associative learning.
