A recent study has revealed the genetic mechanisms behind transgenerational phenotypic plasticity—a crucial factor in plant adaptation to environmental changes. By investigating Arabidopsis thaliana ...

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — When soybean plants survive attacks from insects and periods of drought, they remember. While plants don’t remember in the way animals do, research out of the Arkansas ...

Phenotypic plasticity is the ability of one genome to develop distinct phenotypes in response to biotic or abiotic environmental stimuli. Notorious examples of phenotypic plasticity in plants include ...
