"ADAPTION and acclimation of metabolism and development to environmental conditions at the site of rooting requires nonmobile plants to memorize information introduced by external signals." https://lnkd.in/dFRtJBZ View in LinkedIn

THE CHALLENGE. "This leaves open the question of whether plants, like animals, can show learned behavioral responses (i.e. a behaviour that an individual develops by being taught)." https://lnkd.in/dH68RKn View in LinkedIn

EARLY STUDIES. "What these studies have shown is that plants are indeed capable of memory function; in all cases, the behaviour of the different plants included an ability to store and recall biological information in order to produce a specific (and somewhat predictable) developmental, physiological, morphological or epigenetic response." https://lnkd.in/dH68RKn View in LinkedIn

NEW DATA. "Mimosa can display the learned response even when left undisturbed in a more favourable environment for a month. This relatively long-lasting learned behavioural change as a result of previous experience matches the persistence of habituation effects observed in many animals." https://lnkd.in/dH68RKn View in LinkedIn

HISTORICAL STATEMENT. "The nervous system of animals serves the acquisition, memorization and recollection of information. Like animals, plants also acquire a huge amount of information from their environment, yet their capacity to memorize and organize learned behavioral responses has not been demonstrated."
