These Russians....... Speedhump how can a plant grow beyond the tinest sprout in the complete absence of light? / "During the earliest stages of plant growth, the first root, called the taproot, stretches downward into the soil in search of water and to establish a firm structural foundation for the plant. The root grows both by adding cells and by elongating cells that already exist. Before long, the root forms branches, which improve the plant's support system and its ability to absorb water from the soil. Not long after the taproot has become established in the soil, the shoot, or stem, of the seedling begins to stretch upward in search of light. The time-lapse video of this reveals the seedlings' need for light: They bend first one way and then the next in what becomes a repetitive waving motion as they follow the sun's movement throughout the day. So far, all of the energy that the plant requires for growth comes from food stored in the part of the seed called the endosperm. As the stem stretches skyward it carries with it what is left of the food stores in the endosperm. Before long, however, this food will be depleted and the plant will need to create its own food. To do this, the plant must first grow leaves." ++ Leaves (or the many pine needles as shown in the picture) can't grow without light. Yep I'm a killjoy but I'm on topic! :D Bora Bora It's amazing what some people will believe and never question. mckenzie Does any pne know of some outstanding clubs that play full dance and house tracks. please

Bora Bora ^^^Talk about taking a thread off track!!^^^ Speedhump you should have said off on a 'branch' line... :D Bora Bora So the moral to the story is: Don't hug a tree!!! Speedhump or don't sniff pine cones? Chocoholic Well here's a link, with an image of the tree inside the lung - so Neh! http://www.stuff.co.nz/oddstuff/2339017/Tree-grows-inside-mans-lung deadlife now thts some greenhouse he got in there what else do you think people can think of like maybe in the future we are gonna see ads like"save the planet...grown a tree in your lungs and breath fresh air all your life with 3 years gurantee and life insurance if you die of it" I bet chain smokers might be thinking of it Speedhump trees are the lungs of the planet they say. chocs I could have made that picture in the meat section of the local supermarket! Chocoholic Considering it was distributed by Reuters, the international press agency, I don't doubt it's authenticity! Speedhump you think they took the picture?...surely they can be fooled like anyone ;)

You have issues with trust dude. AND conspiracy images in your thoughprocess.... Chocoholic Whatever, it's not the first time a story like this has come up, and it won't be the last. Keep on disbelieving things if you wish, but sometimes things just happen, there is no logical reason for it, it just does. And considering it has been reported globally and in the medical word, there is reason to doubt it. Speedhump And you say YOU'RE a cynic !! :) This is no conspiracy, I just think it's a dumb jape in the international press. I am good at trust buddy, I use it wisely. I have a few close friends who I trust with my life and I've NEVER been let down yet. Amazing but true :D Speedhump I'm also a stone wall. 100 pct trustworthy with confidences. It helps.... RobbyG

Plants can grow out of stone also, did you notice? :lol: :lol: :lol: Chocoholic erm yeah and ever heard of 'air' plants, that require no water, or soil?! Bora Bora Well I'm going to put on my magic cape and fly over SH's building. Speedhump Robby, I've been called plantlife before :D Chocks - they need SUNLIGHT! How much sunlight in your lungs...? BB - most welcome kitty, I'll open a carton of cream. Speedhump Also look at the ruler in the pic. It shows the sprig is 2.5 cm not 5 cm. Not a shred of credibility left. The whole thing is a daft prank, and it's not the first time. You've never seen a hoax before....? :roll: RobbyG Ill send BiBi on your way in with some stones to throw at ya. Hope she hits the carton of cream right in the smacker ;) Chocoholic Yeah have you ever actually been into a forest of Firs? There is literally no light at the ground level, so the theory is flawed! Just goodle the story and see how many places have reported it, you're wrong on this one - end of! Speedhump If there was 'literally' no light it would be pitch black which is untrue. Trees cannot grow with zero light, but they can grow poorly and slowly with little light, as under a heavy forest canopy: http://www.sfmnetwork.ca/docs/e/RN_E35_CompetitionLight_low.pdf • Under conifer-dominated canopies, juvenile white spruce need about 40% of above-canopy light for maximum height growth. Virtually no understory spruce survive when light levels drop below 8%. • Leafless aspen canopies transmit a large amount of light to the understory in spring and fall; this may be why juvenile spruce can survive in dense aspen stands that have less than 8% light levels in summer. Don't you love the Internet! :D ++ Chocks did you believe this one too? I bet you DID... :D Chocoholic I really don't care what you think SH, you poo poo everything. So what if it turns ou to be fake, it's a bloody good story none the less. Now shut up about it already. Speedhump hahaha! it's OK you can believe it if it makes you happy, no problem for me, I'll keep quiet now. it must be great living in Pink Fluffy World, send me a postcard :D :banghead: RobbyG

Let him talk Choc's. He doesn't know crap about plants.
I could lecture him about plant biology all day long, but he still won't believe it can happen.
I think its plausible with the right conditions. Speedhump LOL, I love you guys. Honestly, you couldn't lecture me abou jack sh*t mate...I studied biology until I was 18, including plant growth on the molecular level. You've absolutely no idea what I know my friend so you should avoid saying that. ;) sage & onion

No, you are missing something of the big picture, Mr. Biology 8)
Read your internet finding again, and you'll see that, next to a humid base (lungs are humid from the inflow of air that gets warmed by your body temp. and humid surrounding cell tissue), a plant seed can grow from water only, since the endosperm carries the food at first;
"So far, all of the energy that the plant requires for growth comes from food stored in the part of the seed called the endosperm.

To do this, the plant must first grow leaves. "
"Most plants can survive with a combination of these three parts: roots, stems, and leaves."
So Speedhump, obviously the root and stems can grow (look at Chocs picture please!!!) but the leaves CANT, because we are missing one cycle of survival for this plant, which is sunlight or the absence of photosynthesis and thus the creation of the plants ability to create food from sugar, so to say.
You might wanna go back into those biology booklets you got there, but mine are still intact. I also had 4 years of biology in my pre-education son.

That picture is not just a taproot and a stem (endosperm) is it now? It looks like a fully grown 'minature tree' which would be completely impossible to grow from the energy (food) stored in the seed. Aren't they pine needles you see there? Those are 'leaves' right?
Sorry I still say hoax.
pwned me??? OMG u l33t Dutch h4xxor......404 Robby's brain cannot be found at this location.....
:D RobbyG A bit undeveloped kind of 'leaves' dont you think? Leaves are capable of photosynthesis, and therefore these cannot be considered leaves like you think they normally are. Not particularly "dark green (low sunlight) or yellow (high sunlight)" thus capable of some level of photosynthesis, now are they? Its just a little flaw of nature that happened to get into some conditions that were suitable for partial growth. It can be fake or at least plausible. I stand by my opinion considering the basics just presented for seed growth. Ta Ta Mr. Biology ;) Speedhump

Well fir trees only have needles not leaves as such, so these look like many pine needles to me? If they are then they could not have grown from the tiny amount of energy stored in a seed.
Anyway, we must be bored with this by now.....if it's true I'll eat your cat. zonker I wonder if a pathologist looked at the specimen under a microscope? That would confirm or otherwise if it really was a tree..... RobbyG

Everything you said, is to be applied on you. So you be quiet now ok.
If you have the 'Biologic passion' you know that a undeveloped leave can be considered a sideroot without photosynthesis, therefore it could well be formed from the seeds endosperm reserves (perhaps shorter/not fully grown). Could well have been a 'survival of the fittest' seed in the Russian's lung...under the right circumstances of course.
Anyway, you haven't given me proper arguments against it. Stick to the camels Humprey, :lol:
