Conceptual possibilities of distinct consequences of adaptive and hormetic responses to toxic insults on fitness as measured by proliferation of yeast cells. Mild stress (yellow) such as low genotoxic treatments might trigger adaptive responses that under some circumstances could protect from severe stress (red). Markiewicz-Potoczny & Lydall observed adaptive but no hormetic responses in yeast cells with compromised telomere function or cell cycle regulation.
