Paternal knockdown of tRNA (cytosine-5-)-methyltransferase ( <i>Dnmt2</i> ) increases offspring susceptibility to infection in red flour beetles
2018-09-20
Abstract excerpt
Intergenerational effects from fathers to offspring are increasingly reported from diverse organisms, but the underlying mechanisms remain speculative. Paternal trans-generational immune priming (TGIP) was demonstrated in the red flour beetle Tribolium castaneum : non-infectious bacterial exposure of fathers protects their offspring against an infectious challenge for at least two generations. Epigenetic processe...
