I seem to remember a Mythbusters episode where they tested whether or not trees/plants could feel pain using a lie detector (or something like that). Inside the room, it did register signs that would point to having a degree of sentience. Yet outside the room, that same feeling was not applied. In the end, I can't remember how they called it, but it was speculated that it was feasible the instrument was detecting humans as opposed to the plant, which caused the result.

That being said, if you don't mind my asking, what exactly is the evidence that plants are more sentient than previously thought?
