About this book

Language: German

In this book, Michel Thellier describes that plants also have a memory and answers the exciting question when, where and how they can store information. He compares the memory of plants with that of humans and animals. Many of our ideas waver when we learn how plants perceive environmental stimuli – wind, rain, injury, attack by herbivores or pests, electromagnetic radiation from cell phones – and how they respond by changing their metabolism and development, sometimes even by movements. Even if plants have no nervous system, they can store memories: the repetition of a stimulus changes the intensity of the response, in other words, the stimulus leads to storage of information as if the plant "remembers" such a signal days or even weeks after having received it.

Originally published in French under the title: Les Plantes Ont-Elles and Mémoire? by Editions Quae in 2015.

Summary in German:
Michel Thellier schildert in diesem Buch, dass auch Pflanzen ein Gedächtnis besitzen und beantwortet die spannende Frage wann, wo und wie sie Informationen speichern können. Er vergleicht die Erinnerung der Pflanzen mit der von Menschen und Tieren. So manche unserer Vorstellungen geraten ins Wanken, wenn wir erfahren, wie Pflanzen Reize aus der Umwelt - Wind, Regen, Verletzung, Angriff von Pflanzenfressern oder von Schädlingen, elektromagnetische Strahlungen von Mobiltelefonen  - wahrnehmen und wie sie sogar darauf antworten durch Änderungen ihres Stoffwechsels und ihrer Entwicklung, mitunter sogar durch Bewegungen.  Auch wenn Pflanzen kein Nervensystem haben, können sie Erinnerungen speichern:  die Wiederholung eines Reizes verändert die Intensität der Antwort  oder der Reiz führt zum Speichern einer Information als ob die Pflanze «sich erinnern würde» vor Tagen oder manchmal auch vor Wochen schon einmal ein solches Signal empfangen zu haben.

Französische Originalausgabe erschienen unter dem Titel: Les Plantes Ont-Elles une Mémoire? bei Editions QUAE, Paris, Frankreich, 2015.
