Plant Responses to Environmental Stimuli

The Role of Specific Forms of Plant Memory

Ebook (PDF Format)

However, they perceive a variety of stimuli such as wind, rain, wounding, cold, drought, attack by pests and herbivores, and even electromagnetic radiations such as those emitted by mobile telephones.Not only they perceive but they also respond to stimuli by modifications in their metabolism and development, sometimes by movements. They have invented the chemical war and the biological war long before us. Some plants would even be able to warn neighbouring plants that herbivores are coming. The responses to s… Mehr

Über den Autor


Michel Thellier has had a career of professor in plant physiology and biophysics at the University. He has been the Chief Editor of the American journal J. Trace Microprobe Techniques and the Associate Editor of the series Biology of the proceedings of the French Academy of Science. He has been the author or editor of a dozen books dealing with plant and cell biology. He is a Member of the French Academy of Science and of the French Academy of Agriculture. All along his career, he has taken a particular interest in plant sensitivity to stimuli. Today, he wishes to help people understand how plant can possess a real capacity of memory, which is, both, so different from ours and so well adapted to the characteristics of its close environment.
