Transgenerational plasticity in clonal plants

Evolutionary Ecology, 2010
Transgenerational plasticity has recently been recognized as a mechanism allowing phenotypic adjustments to local conditions to be passed onto sexually produced offspring. Although thus far it has been studied mainly in non-clonal plants, the present paper proposes that transgenerational plasticity is also applicable to asexually generated progeny, and

Transgenerational Plasticity Is Adaptive in the Wild

Science, 2007
Plants exhibit adaptive responses to light, but it is not known whether parental plants transmit environmental cues that elicit adaptive responses in offspring. We show that offspring life history (annual versus biennial) is influenced by the maternal light environment (understory versus light gap).

Contrasting patterns of transgenerational plasticity in ecologically distinct congeners

Ecology, 2009
Stressful parental environments can influence offspring size and development either adaptively or maladaptively, yet little is known about species' differences in this complex aspect of phenotypic plasticity. We performed a reciprocal split‐brood experiment to compare transgenerational plasticity in response to drought stress in two closely related ...

Transgenerational impacts of micro(nano)plastics in the aquatic and terrestrial environment

Journal of Hazardous Materials, 2023
Plastic particles of diameters ranging from 1 to 1000 nm and > 1 µm to 5 mm are respectively known as nanoplastics and microplastics, and are collectively termed micro(nano)plastics (MNPs). They are ubiquitously present in aquatic and terrestrial environments, posing adverse multifaceted ecological impacts.
