Environmental heat and salt stress induce transgenerational phenotypic changes in Arabidopsis thaliana.

Plants that can adapt their phenotype may be more likely to survive changing environmental conditions. Heritable epigenetic variation could provide a way to rapidly adapt to such changes. Here we tested whether environmental stress induces heritable, potentially adaptive phenotypic changes independe...
