Transgenerational Induction of Resistance to Phytophthora cinnamomi in Holm Oak [PDF]
Forests, 2021 The maternal environment of a tree species can influence the development and resistance of its offspring. Transgenerational induction of resistance is well known in plants but its occurrence in forest tree species has been less reported. Quercus ilex L. (
