TENDRIL MEMORY. "In this case the mechanical stimulation is remembered for several hours and is a meaningful memory in terms of the response of the tendril that also takes several hours to coil. Plant memory can last seconds, minutes, days, weeks and months according to the time frame of the signal and the developmental response examined." http://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s00114-005-0014-9 View in LinkedIn

DURATION OF MEMORY. "A number of plant developmental changes require two signals for completion. By giving one signal without the other, the length of time the memory of that one signal lasts, can be easily established. Thus, for example tendrils require both a mechanical stimulus and blue light to coil. By separating the time of application of the two signals the length of the memory of one signal can be determined.' http://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s00114-005-0014-9 View in LinkedIn

LEARNING. "There can be no doubt that the developmental history of a plant can determine the outcome of many subsequent sensing events. More accurately, the developmental history of many organs (or cells) can determine the response that results from subsequent stimulation." http://aob.oxfordjournals.org/content/93/4/345.full View in LinkedIn

CENTRAL ROLE. "Memory is not an occasional episode but a fundamental property of general importance in the life of plants." http://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-319-25688-7_2 View in LinkedIn

PLANT MEMORY INPUTS. "A plethora of ecological impacts require memory, some of which will be exemplified and critically examined, namely, molecular aspects of membrane transport, fitness, photosynthesis, osmotic stress and salinity, pollution events and priming by volatile organic compounds and by vibrations." http://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-319-25688-7_2 View in LinkedIn

CALCIUM CONTROL. "Retrieval of information after a delay. Ca2+ controls the accessible memory of environmental signals involved in the induction of flax epidermal meristems." http://aob.oxfordjournals.org/content/92/1/1.full View in LinkedIn

MODIFIED RESPONSES. "In the whole plant there are many examples where prior signals modify the response to rapid subsequent signals, thus indicating memory of the previous signal. In Scrophularia nodosa, information retrieval by dormant buds is evidently modified by the state of development." http://aob.oxfordjournals.org/content/92/1/1.full View in LinkedIn
