Simple Models of Plant Learning and Memory

Plants are capable of intelligent responses to complex environmental signals. Learning and memory play fundamental roles in such responses. Two simple models of plant memory are proposed based on the calcium-signalling system. The memory states correspond to steady state distributions of calcium ions.
