This book assembles recent research on memory and learning in
plants. Organisms that share a capability to store information
about experiences in the past have an actively generated background
resource on which they can compare and evaluate coming experiences
in order to react faster or even better. This is an essential tool
for all adaptation purposes. Such memory/learning skills can be
found from bacteria up to fungi, animals and plants, although until
recently it had been mentioned only as capabilities of higher
animals. With the rise of epigenetics the context dependent marking
of experiences on the genetic level is an essential perspective to
understand memory and learning in organisms. Plants are highly
sensitive organisms that actively compete for environmental
resources. They assess their surroundings, estimate how much energy
they need for particular goals, and then realize the optimum
variant. They take measures to control certain environmental
resources. They perceive themselves and can distinguish between
'self' and 'non-self'. They process and evaluate information and
then modify their behavior accordingly. The book will guide
scientists in further investigations on these skills of plant
behavior and on how plants mediate signaling processes between
themselves and the environment in memory and learning processes.
