Increasing evidence indicates that non-DNA sequence-based epigenetic information can be
inherited across several generations in organisms ranging from yeast to plants to humans …

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is the main cause of female infertility worldwide and is
associated with a substantially increased lifetime risk of comorbidities, including type 2 …

A contribution of DNA methylation to defense against invading nucleic acids and
maintenance of genome integrity is uncontested; however, our understanding of the extent …

The idea that epigenetic determinants such as DNA methylation, histone modifications or
RNA can be passed to the next generation through meiotic products (gametes) is long …

Ancestral environmental exposures such as toxicants, abnormal nutrition or stress can
promote the epigenetic transgenerational inheritance of disease and phenotypic variation …

Inheritance of genomic DNA underlies the vast majority of biological inheritance, yet it has
been clear for decades that additional epigenetic information can be passed on to future …

Recent evidence sheds light on the peculiar type of plant intelligence. Plants have
developed complex molecular networks that allow them to remember, choose, and make …

Root systems determine the water and nutrients for photosynthesis and harvested products,
underpinning agricultural productivity. We highlight 11 programs that integrated root traits …

INTRODUCTION Epigenetic modifications to chromatin, such as the methylation of DNA
cytosines, carry regulatory information across the generations in plants and animals …

We begin this article by delineating the explanatory gaps left by prevailing gene‐focused
approaches in our understanding of phenotype determination, inheritance, and the origin of …
