Epigenetic mechanisms and microbiota as a toolbox for plant phenotypic adjustment to environment

Epigenetic mechanisms and microbiota as a toolbox for plant phenotypic adjustment to environment

The classic understanding of organisms focuses on genes as the main source of species evolution and diversification. The recent concept of genetic accommodation questions this gene centric view by emphasizing the importance of phenotypic plasticity on evolutionary trajectories. Recent discoveries on...
