Abstract:Transgenerational phenotypic plasticity (TPP) refers to the phenomenon that environmental conditions experienced by one generation can influence the phenotype of subsequent generations to adapt to the environment without modification of their DNA sequences. Aphid wing dimorphism is a textbook example of TPP by which a maternal aphid perceives the environmental cues to decide the wing morph of her offspring. However, the signaling mechanism from mother to daughter remains unclear. In this study, we showed that … Show more
