Transgenerational inheritance of acquired hormesis effects. a Bi-phasic dose-response curve. Low-dose treatment induces enhanced viability (hormesis effects), whereas exposure to high-dose stressors is detrimental. b Schematic model of heritable hormesis effects. Environmental stressors induce epigenetic alterations in the germline, which appear to be transmitted to the next generations and contribute to the viability of the offspring. Me, histone methylation
