In this unique book, Michel Thellier has combined recent discoveries with older data dealing with plant memory and its potential role on plant acclimatization to environment stimuli. By placing memory within an evolutionary frame, the author persuades us that a new way of research has opened in plant physiology.Detailing experiments in a simplified manner, that general readers with an interest in this topic will find it easy to follow.

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.
