One possible evidence that might have led the scientist to conclude that the plant does not photosynthesize is the absence of chloroplasts in the plant's cells. Chloroplasts are the organelles responsible for photosynthesis in plants, so if they are not present in the plant's cells, it suggests that the plant may not be capable of photosynthesis.
