There's a very interesting book that discusses this issue. The title is The Secret Life of Plants - I can't remember the author's name off the top of my head. It's slightly whacky research, but still a fascinating read.
Towards the beginning of the book, some people hook up a plant to polygraph machine to detect changes in the plant's... um... response? The plant was happy when music was playing, but when someone came in and started loudly threatening another person in the room, the needles on the polygraph started to move. I believe they did similar experiments by actually physically harming the plants. If you're really interested in this subject, you should check the book out. :)

they don't
plants don't have nerve, and to feel something, you need nerves, so plants won't feel pain...
for some answers that plants will react with music or things like that, it's one of the plant's irritability. plants will grow depend on the way where light come, because it's part of it's irritability that isn't controlled by the nerve system, so plants won't feel pain

plants may not feel pain but the can express stress, commonly known as transport stress. When a plant is transported, upon arrival in its new area, it will look withered and dull but as it starts to adjust to its surroundings it should return to normal

I read that they did an experiment with the plant and snail that lived near it...than they took the snail and dropped it in the boiling water in front of the plant, and plant expressed an electromagnetic wave that can be compared with the scream...

Yes. When they can respond to soft music and good care, I guess they can feel pain too. And I also remember some scientist from India (CS Bose??) proving something to that effect.

plants do not feel pain since they do not have a develop or complex nervous system.

Not really .. while they can, at times, react to damage there is no central nervous system to transmit the data nor brain to register it as "pain"

yes, that is why lawnmowers are made to be so loud so you can't hear the grass crying out in agony when it is cut by the mower
