🧬Does DNA methylation inheritance differ in clonal and sexual offspring? In wild strawberry, we found higher methylation inheritance in clonal offspring linked to stronger transgenerational plasticity under climate stress.

Our new review explores how reversible sex changes in plants may be key players in plant evolution. Turns out, sex in plants isn't as fixed as we thought. Epigenetics and the environment can flip the script, even within one generation!

Reversibility of sex changes in the plant kingdom: more important than we thought?
Compared to animals, plants show a wide range of reproductive strategies with different degrees of sex separation (e.g. dioecy, monoecy, hermaphroditism). While sex expression was previously thought ...
