摘要

In 1913 Sir Jagadis Chandra Bose published a monograph (see Figure 1) ‘Researches on Irritability of Plants’ 1 . The concept of irritability 2 had its origin in the works of Francis Glisson and Albrecht von Haller 3 . On the basis of experiments performed on animals, Haller emphasized the distinction between ‘sensibility’ and ‘irritability’ – the ability to perceive a stimulus is sensibility, whereas the ability to respond to that stimulus is called irritability. For example, nerves are the vehicles of sensibility, whereas muscle contraction is one mode of irritability. Till the end of the 19th century, the experimental investigations of irritability were carried out, almost exclusively, with animals. Bose was one of the few visionaries who did pioneering works on the irritability of plants with a sophisticated equipment that he himself developed for this purpose. In this note I briefly discuss the aims of the investigations reported in this classic and the impact of the results. I also mention Figure 1. The cover page of the monograph ‘Researches on Irritability of Plants’. how irritability depends on the operation of molecular machines, a concept pioneered by Marcello Malpighi in the 16th century 4 and a subject of current multidisciplinary research in the 20th century.
