Plant environmental memory: implications, mechanisms and opportunities for plant scientists and beyond

G. Auge, V. Hankofer, et al.

Discover the fascinating world of plant memory, where plants adapt to their environment, enhancing their survival strategies! This review by Gabriela Auge, Valentin Hankofer, Martin Groth, Rea Antoniou-Kourounioti, Irja Ratikainen, and Christian Lampei unravels the multilayered molecular mechanisms behind this phenomenon and highlights the potential of mathematical modeling in understanding these processes. Explore how this knowledge can transform our approach to managing plant communities in both natural and agricultural settings.

Abstract
Plants exhibit remarkable plasticity, adapting their growth and development to environmental cues to enhance fitness and survival. This integration of environmental information, impacting subsequent life stages or generations, constitutes environmental memory. This review summarizes recent advancements in understanding plant memory, its ecological underpinnings, the multilayered molecular mechanisms involved (epigenetic, genetic, and metabolic), and the potential of mathematical modeling in enhancing our comprehension. The authors emphasize using plant memory as a tool for unlocking natural world secrets and for applications in managing plant communities in both natural and agricultural ecosystems.
