    Weak evidence for heritable changes in response to selection by aphids in Arabidopsis accessions

    Marc W Schmid, Klara Kropivšek ... Ueli Grossniklaus
    Strong selection by aphids only weakly affects epigenetic and phenotypic variation within three Arabidopsis thaliana accessions, demonstrating limited potential for adaptation by epigenetic differentiation within genotypes in this model species.
