Trans-generational inheritance of herbivory-induced phenotypic changes in Brassica rapa

Abstract Biotic stress can induce plastic changes in fitness-relevant plant traits. Recently, it has been shown that such changes can be transmitted to subsequent generations. However, the occurrence and extent of transmission across different types of traits is still unexplored. Here, we assessed t...
