Abstract excerpt
Trans-generational adaptation is important to respond rapidly to environmental challenges and increase overall plant fitness. Besides well-known mechanisms such as epigenetic modifications, vertically transmitted endophytic bacteria might contribute to this process. The cultivable and total endophytic communities of several generations of Arabidopsis thaliana seeds harvested from plants exposed to cadmium (Cd) or...
