DNA methylation mediates genetic variation for adaptive transgenerational plasticity.

Proceedings. Biological sciences - 14 Sept 2016

Herman Jacob J, Sultan Sonia E

Abstract excerpt

Environmental stresses experienced by individual parents can influence offspring phenotypes in ways that enhance survival under similar conditions. Although such adaptive transgenerational plasticity is well documented, its transmission mechanisms are generally unknown. One possible mechanism is environmentally induced DNA methylation changes. We tested this hypothesis in the annual plant Polygonum persicaria, a...
