A Logical (Discrete) Formulation for the Storage and Recall of Environmental Signals in Plants

Abstract: When subjected to an appropriate asymmetric stimulus, seedlings of Bidens pilosa L. "store" a symmetry-breaking instruction that will finally take effect (in the form of a differential growth of the cotyledonary buds) only if the plants are in a state in which they can "recall" this information. The ability of the plants to recall the stored symmetry-breaking instruction may be switched "on" or "off" by the application of a variety of stimuli. Although its detailed phenomenology is rather complicated, the over… Show more

“…Interestingly, removing both cotyledons 5 min after the symmetry‐breaking signal was introduced to one cotyledon did not abolish asymmetric growth, suggesting that a rapidly elicited long‐distance signal mediates storage and retrieval of information about previous wound experience. Several mathematical models were created using the B. pilosus system for storage and recall of environmental signals in plants (Demongeot, Thomas & Thellier 2000; Thellier et al. 2000, 2004; Demongeot, Thellier & Thomas 2006).…”

“…Starting from the conceptual model of plant memory, it is interesting to try to elaborate a more mathematical model to become able to make quantitative predictions that can be tested experimentally. Several approaches have already been followed (Kergosien et al 1979;Desbiez et al 1994;Demongeot et al 2000Demongeot et al , 2006Thellier et al 2004). However, two challenges are the existence of multiple timescales and the requirement to go beyond a single type of biological processes (e.g.…”

“…Such a system has been proposed in [1] to model genetic and metabolic regulations and is encountered in plant growth [7,6,17,19], embryogenesis [11,9] and neural networks [23,18], in which hormones (like auxine), proteins (like transduction peptide) or neuro-transmitters (like Gaba) secreted by a part of the system (e.g. apex in plants) inhibit the growth or activity of the other parts (e.g.…”
