Predator-induced transgenerational phenotypic plasticity in the cotton aphid
Oecologia, 2004Transgenerational phenotypic changes, whereby offspring have an altered trait or a distinct alternate phenotype, frequently occur in response to increased maternal predation risk. The cotton aphid, Aphis gossypii (Glover), is unique, however, as offspring consist of four distinct phenotypes ("normal" light green apterae, "normal" dark green apterae ...

DNA methylation mediates overgrazing-induced clonal transgenerational plasticity
Science of The Total Environment, 2023Overgrazing generally induces dwarfism in grassland plants, and these phenotypic traits could be transmitted to clonal offspring even when overgrazing is excluded. However, the dwarfism-transmitted mechanism remains largely unknown, despite generally thought to be enabled by epigenetic modification.

Adaptive transgenerational plasticity in the perennial Plantago lanceolata
Oikos, 2013Phenotypes of plants, and thus their ecology and evolution, can be affected by the environmental conditions experienced by their parents, a phenomenon called parental effects or transgenerational plasticity. However, whether such effects are just passive responses or represent a special type of adaptive plasticity remains ...

Assessment of Transgenerational Plasticity of Salinity Tolerance in Rice
Salinity is one of the severe abiotic stress factors that affect approximately 50% of planted and irrigated agricultural fields. The determination of plant response to salinity is the key factor that reduces yield lost in crop production. Transgenerational plasticity is a nongenetic modification that provides a mechanism for plants to "remember" and ...Murat Aycan, Toshiaki Mitsui

Evolution, 2018
Transgenerational plasticity (TGP) occurs when offspring exhibit plasticity in traits induced by the environments experienced by their parents, and represents a nongenetic mechanism of inheritance. Evidence that traits can be transmitted to future generations by means other than genetic inheritance has caused a surge of interest in epigenetic ...

A transcriptomic investigation of heat-induced transgenerational plasticity in beetles
Biological Journal of the Linnean Society, 2023AbstractIn response to environmental stressors, parents can shape the developmental outcomes of their offspring by contributing non-genetic but heritable factors. The transmission of such factors can potentially allow offspring, from the beginning of their lives, to express phenotypes that match their anticipated environments.

Transgenerational phenotypic plasticity under future atmospheric conditions
Ecology Letters, 2004AbstractOrganisms often exhibit transgenerational phenotypic changes in response to an increased risk of parasitism or predation. Shifts in global atmospheric composition could modify these phenotypic effects through changes in either nutrient quantity/quality or altered interactions with higher trophic levels.

Environmental epigenetics: Exploring phenotypic plasticity and transgenerational adaptation in fish
Environmental ResearchEpigenetics plays a vital role in the interaction between living organisms and their environment by regulating biological functions and phenotypic plasticity. Considering that most aquaculture activities take place in open or natural habitats that are vulnerable to environmental changes.
