Yes, subjective is one requirement for emotions. However, its not the only requirement for emotions. Consciousness is also required, which itself depends on the existence of a brain and nervous system, which plants do not have.
I do not care for discussing the philosophy or existence of emotions as that was never the point at all. My point is plants do not have emotions, answering your initial question. |
You can't be sure, as emotions itself cannot be showed. But that aside, I myself answered someone, who was stating that emotions of animals are the reason we should not eat meat.

Yes we can be sure. Emotions
by definition necessitates the existence of some form of nervous system or brain. Plants do not have these. So we can say
for sure that plants do not have emotions, by definition of emotions.
