A plant’s phenotypic variations can be inherited even in the case of a phenotypic trait not controlled by a gene/genome variation. This rapid response to environmental change involves epigenetic mechanisms and/or microorganisms recruitment within the plant microbiota. Heritable transgenerational plasticity mediated by epigenetic mechanisms and/or mutualists could be followed by genetic accommodation and long term adaptation.
