Plant Responses to Environmental Stimuli The Role of Specific Forms
Plants have no sensory organs similar to ours: no eyes, ears or nose. Hence they are often considered to be inert and insensitive. However, they perceive a variety of stimuli such as wind, rain, wounding, cold, drought, attack by pests

By placing memory within an evolutionary frame, the author persuades us that a new way of researches has opened in plant physiology. This programme appears as a new step in an already long (though being badly known) story. The existen
