Adaptive transgenerational plasticity in an annual plant: grandparental and parental drought stress enhance performance of seedlings in dry soil.

Integrative and comparative biology - 1 Jul 2012

Herman Jacob J, Sultan Sonia E, Horgan-Kobelski Tim, Riggs Charlotte

Abstract excerpt

Stressful parental (usually maternal) environments can dramatically influence expression of traits in offspring, in some cases resulting in phenotypes that are adaptive to the inducing stress. The ecological and evolutionary impact of such transgenerational plasticity depends on both its persistence across generations and its adaptive value. Few studies have examined both aspects of transgenerational plasticity...
