This study shows that the plant heat shock regulatory network controls both the magnitude and distribution of stress-responsive gene expression across cells.

The paper investigates inter-individual transcriptional variability of the NRT2.1 gene in plants, showing it is established early, maintained, and has phenotypic consequences.

The paper shows that the σV circuit in B. subtilis generates tunable phenotypic variability in response to stress, memory of previous stress, and genetic perturbations.
