NETWORKS. "Animals have their network of neuron synapses, electrophysiological circuits and memory, but plants have their network of chloroplasts connected by stromules, PEPS circuits transduced by bundle sheath cells and cellular light memory. It is suggested that plants could be intelligent organisms with much higher organism organization levels than it was thought before." http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.4161/psb.5.11.13243#abstract View in LinkedIn

DISPERSED NETWORK. "Plants don't have an animal brain, but they have an intelligence that is more a dispersed network of, in this case fungi and roots, that operates a lot like a brain." http://www.abc.net.au/radionational/programs/futuretense/the-underestimated-power-of-plants/7227008 View in LinkedIn

CALCULATIONS AND MEMORY. "Our recent results however suggest that plants are capable of processing information encrypted in light intensity and in its energy. With the help of nonphotochemical quenching and photoelectrophysiological signaling (PEPS) plants are able to perform biological quantum computation and memorize light training in order to optimize their Darwinian fitness." https://lnkd.in/d7QCXaS View in LinkedIn

PLANT CYCLES. "The genetic analysis of flowering time in arabidopsis will probably provide a paradigm for the genetic control circuitry that underpins other timing processes, such as breakage of bud and seed dormancy, in plant development." http://aob.oxfordjournals.org/content/92/1/1.full View in LinkedIn

GRAVITROPISM. "It has to be noted that gravitropism, albeit it can be described as a purely synchronous orientation towards an extrinsic gravity vector, apparently involves lasting imprints of the environmental stimulus at least in some plant organs, although it is unclear whether this “memory” is accessed also under natural conditions, or only in some experimental setups." https://lnkd.in/dfsCv77 View in LinkedIn

TWO OPTIONS. "For instance, light-driven morphogenesis of tree crowns, or exploration of patchy environment by foraging clonal plants, can be convincingly approximated by a model that only requires the individual branches or ramets to avoid collision with congeneric neighbors and to adjust their branching and runner production according to present light conditions." https://lnkd.in/dfsCv77 View in LinkedIn

STARTLING REALIZATION. "Thanks to the impressive models constructed, in particular, by P. Prusinkiewicz and co-workers, we have to accept the startling realization that history, if included in the model at all, takes often only the form of constraints carried by the environment (such as e.g., shading by branches or leaves of the developing plant) rather than memory of the developing individual itself." https://lnkd.in/dfsCv77 View in LinkedIn
