Phenotypic plasticity enables plants to adjust their physical traits in response to environmental variations, playing a vital role in their survival and adaptability. While past research has primarily focused on how these traits manifest within a single generation, the genetic basis of transgenerational inheritance remains largely unexplored. Addressing this gap is essential to fully understand how plants transmit adaptive traits from one generation to the next.

New research on phenotypic plasticity conducted by teams from Beijing Forestry University and Tsinghua University, was published on June 25, 2024, in Horticulture Research.
