BEHAVIOR VERSUS DEVELOPMENT. “Plants and animals have different solutions to the problem of survival in ever-changing and often adverse environments. Whereas animals focus mainly on behavioral responses, such as fighting or running away, plants have a remarkable repertoire of developmental tricks to shape their body and optimize their metabolism to specific environmental demands. This developmental flexibility involves permanent stem cell populations called meristems, de novo organogenesis, a remarkable capacity for regeneration, and directional growth responses to external cues.”
