LONG-TERM MEMORY. "Regulation of the saccharide metabolism may provide additional examples of integrating, storing and accessing information on long-term state of the plants' metabolism, including but not limited to the performance of the photosynthetic apparatus." http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.4161/psb.4.5.8276#abstract View in LinkedIn

DORMANCY REGULATION. "We are also catching first glimpses of the complex web of hormonal and gene expression regulatory pathways controlling seed dormancy as well as the intricate interplay of light-dependent signals such as phytochrome modification, circadian rhythms and phytormonones implicated in light-controlled developmental regulation." http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.4161/psb.4.5.8276#abstract View in LinkedIn

TARGET GENE. "The “memory of winter” involved in seasonally dependent acquisition of flowering competence (vernalization) has been traced down to complex epigenetic regulation of the gene encoding a specific transcription factor (FLC) in Arabidopsis. Surprisingly, the target genes appear to be different in grasses, albeit the topology of the whole regulatory network may be analogous." http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.4161/psb.4.5.8276#abstract View in LinkedIn

WHOLE PLANT MEMORY. "Namely, developmental decisions, such as vernalization, flowering induction, photomorphogenesis or breaking of seed dormancy depend on long-term integration and evaluation of light or temperature inputs, sometimes recorded and recalled after a time far exceeding the normal duration of the plant's life cycle. For example, Stellaria seeds can recall whether they have been imbibed in darkness or in light even after more than a year. Further examples of similar long-term “data collection”.” http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.4161/psb.4.5.8276#abstract View in LinkedIn

EXCLUDED CANDIDATES. "Nevertheless, even on the basis of the mere memory criterion we could exclude some phenomena that were promising at the first glance but turned out to be explainable by models not including memory." https://lnkd.in/dfsCv77 View in LinkedIn

FOOTNOTE. "It has to be stressed that we do not claim that memory (or even learning) and intelligence are synonymous. On the contrary, we feel that we can speak of “intelligent” or “adaptive” behavior only if alternatives are available—in other words, if the memorized information affects some decisions." https://lnkd.in/dfsCv77 View in LinkedIn

CANDIDATES. "Even in this rather unsystematic collection of phenomena we could identify some interesting candidates that at least appear to include memory or learning, i.e., necessary prerequisites of intelligent behavior according to Molvray's functional definition." https://lnkd.in/dfsCv77 View in LinkedIn

ATTENTION. "On the other hand, attention is a feature of intelligent conduct in the present, whereby an organism selectively responds to ever-shifting stimuli in a way that allows it to maintain adequate levels of adaptation to its environment. Before processing, evaluating and communicating information, plants must first attend to—or take note of—the bits that are relevant to their optimal growth and development." http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.4161/psb.23902#abstract View in LinkedIn
