Transgenerational plasticity in the annual plant Polygonum persicaria: effects of the grandparent environment on plant development

Abstract: The Sultan lab studies phenotypic plasticity and its transgenerational effects in the generalist, annual plant Polygonum persicaria. Phenotypic plasticity describes the ability of a single genotype to produce multiple phenotypes (physical traits) in different environments. The plasticity we study allows plants to integrate information from their current and previous (parental and grandparental) environments in … Read more
