Transgenerational stress memory transferred from parents to offspring may enable plants to
respond to changing environments rapidly. Yet transgenerational adaptive effects and …

Shortage of high-quality seeds of native species, particularly for xerophyte shrubs, have
severely limited grassland restoration in the arid region of China. However, little attention …

As climatic conditions change, species will be forced to move or adapt to avoid extinction.
Exacerbated by ongoing climate change, California recently experienced a severe and …

Drought stress affects plants leaving a long-lasting imprint that may be passed onto progeny,
affecting its growth and functioning. The aim of the research was to analyse the …

Seagrasses provide critical ecosystem services such as carbon sequestration, sediment
stabilisation and nursery habitat for juvenile fish. Zostera muelleri is ubiquitous within …

Climate change is predicted to increase the frequency and magnitude of extreme climatic
events. These changes will directly affect plant individuals and populations and thus modify …

Maternal effects (ie trans‐generational plasticity) and soil legacies generated by drought
and plant diversity can affect plant performance and alter nutrient cycling and plant …

In this study, we describe the results obtained in a study of the transgenerational phenotypic
effects of chromium (Cr) stress on the model plant species Arabidopsis thaliana. The F1 …

Conditions during a parent's lifetime can induce phenotypic changes in offspring, providing
a potentially important source of variation in natural populations. Yet, to date, biotic factors …

Epigenetic changes and maternal effects, collectively termed transgenerational effects, allow
responses of organisms to environmental factors to be passed between generations. This is …
