COMMON SCAFFOLD. "Since their divergence, bilaterians appear to have elaborated upon this organizational scaffold to a greater degree than their cnidarian sister group (e.g., deploying a greater number of Hox genes to encode a finer degree of regionalization), and they have invented numerous organs and structures to superimpose upon the scaffold such as brains, circulatory systems, skeletal systems, locomotory structures, digestive organs, and sense organs." https://lnkd.in/dph5vzr View in LinkedIn

MEMORIES OF LIGHT. "Indeed leaves in the dark are able to not only “see” the light, but also are able to differently remember its spectral composition and use this memorized information to increase their Darwinian fitness."

INTELLIGENT. "Our results suggest that plants are intelligent organisms capable of performing a sort of thinking process (understood as at the same time and non-stress conditions capable of performing several different scenarios of possible future definitive responses), and capable of memorizing this training." http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.4161/psb.5.11.13243#abstract View in LinkedIn

EPIGENETIC METHYLATION MARKERS. "Both in monocots (rice) and in dicots (Arabidopsis and poplar), CG methylation, but not CHG or CHH methylation, exhibits a peak in the body of protein-coding genes. Exons tend to be more highly methylated than introns, and the end of the gene shows a similar drop in methylation to the gene's promoter region." http://jxb.oxfordjournals.org/content/62/11/3713.full View in LinkedIn

EPIGENETICS. "How a single plant genotype can result in a variety of phenotypic outcomes under the same in vitro culture conditions is still far from being completely understood. While underlying mutations in DNA sequence have been pointed out as a likely cause of phenotypic variation, it is also becoming clear that a major role is played by epigenetic regulation." http://jxb.oxfordjournals.org/content/62/11/3713.full View in LinkedIn

DOSE-RESPONSE. "Recognition of individuality can easily be seen from dose‐response curves. Such dose‐response data can vary over three to five orders of magnitude change in the strength of the inducing stimulus, thus indicating the degree of individual variation." http://aob.oxfordjournals.org/content/92/1/1.full View in LinkedIn

HYPOTHESIS. "Individuality of the kind commonly observed in plants might be unique. A mechanism for individuality has been proposed as originating from stochastic variation in the distribution between daughter cells of tiny numbers of critical proteins controlling cell and tissue development." http://aob.oxfordjournals.org/content/92/1/1.full View in LinkedIn

RESOURCE MOSAIC. "As if to counteract the paucity of different tissues in the normal vegetative plant, continued embryogenic development by meristems results in tissues and cells with enormous varieties of individual behaviour. A reservoir of different cell behaviours becomes available to enable construction of a variety of tissue and plant behaviours to exploit the resource mosaic." http://aob.oxfordjournals.org/content/92/1/1.full View in LinkedIn
