Stress‐Induced Evolutionary Innovation: A Mechanism for the Origin of Cell Types
28 Mar 2019
Abstract excerpt
Understanding the evolutionary role of environmentally induced phenotypic variation (i.e., plasticity) is an important issue in developmental evolution. A major physiological response to environmental change is cellular stress, which is counteracted by generic stress reactions detoxifying the cell. A model, stress-induced evolutionary innovation (SIEI), whereby ancestral stress reactions and their corresponding...
