Transgenerational effects of mycorrhiza are stronger in sexual than in clonal offspring of Fragaria vesca and are partly adaptive These results suggest that clonal and sexual reproduction are under different evolutionary pressures, leading to the development of stronger TGE mechanisms in response to mycorrhizal symbiosis in the...

In strawberry, transgenerational effects (TGE) depend on how plants reproduce:
Clonal offspring: stronger TGE from abiotic stresses
Sexual offspring: stronger TGE from biotic interactions
Even DNA methylation inheritance follows this split.
Reproduction mode shapes what kind of memory plants pass on

🧬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.

Rád bych pomohl s přesnou datací toho Masarykova vzkazu. Vzhledem k tomu, že kritizoval Hlinku a varoval před Němcema, tak to muselo být v roce 1996 když se hrál světový pohár. Čerství mistři světa pod vedením Ivana Hlinky tenkrát neuhráli ani bod a s Němcema rupli 7:1.

The buff-tip moth (Phalera bucephala) has mastered a very particular kind of camouflage.

When they close their wings up, they resemble a broken twig.

Native to large parts of Europe, there's regional pattern variation that reflects the local tree species. This one best resembles birch twigs?

Hybridization and introgression are major evolutionary processes. Since the 1940s, the prevailing view has been that they shape plants far more than animals. In our new study (www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...
), we find the opposite: animals exchange genes more, and for longer, than plants
