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

DORMANCY AND MEMORY. "Many aspects of dormancy are analogous to nervous memory; there are short‐ and long‐term versions, dormancy can be reinforced or overridden, and a variety of environmental facets interplay to modify germination and dormancy. Even the molecular basis of long‐term dormancy may be similar to animal memory." http://aob.oxfordjournals.org/content/92/1/1.full View in LinkedIn

ADJUSTED RESPONSE. "Flowering consists of a series of reassessment points in which adjustments to the final number of flowers could be made dependent on nutritional availability, in a form of learning and memory." http://aob.oxfordjournals.org/content/92/1/1.full View in LinkedIn

VERNAL MEMORY. "Plants that are vernalized by 3 weeks’ low temperature, or appropriate imbibed dormant seeds given 3–4 weeks’ low temperature, retain the memory of that treatment and either flower or germinate when the inductive schedule is no longer imposed." http://aob.oxfordjournals.org/content/92/1/1.full View in LinkedIn

DURABLE MEMORY. "Photoperiodic plants can be exposed to one or two inductive photoperiods and then returned to a non‐inductive light/dark schedule where they will continue to flower. Some long‐lived memory has obviously been instituted." http://aob.oxfordjournals.org/content/92/1/1.full View in LinkedIn

COMBINED EFFECT. "It has been argued that the ‘intelligence’ perceived in the adaptive response of a plant might best be considered to be the sum of the collective adaptive responses of its cells." http://aob.oxfordjournals.org/content/93/4/345.full View in LinkedIn

SINGLE TRIGGER. "Memory of developmental status. The effects of blue or red light signals are good examples, having different effects dependent on the stage of development. Thus, red light can affect leaf movement, stem elongation or germination." http://aob.oxfordjournals.org/content/92/1/1.full View in LinkedIn

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
