Meanwhile in the West
Plant biophysics developed further in the West later.
Fair to say
Some of Bose's stronger claims about plant 'sensation' were ahead of the evidence of his time.
Path to modern innovation
An early foundation of plant physiology and biophysics.
Transmission
Built and demonstrated in India and at the Royal Institution.
