Abstract: Let $f:SlongrightarrowB$ be a non-trivial fibration from a complex projective smooth surface $S$ to a smooth curve $B$ of genus $b$. Let $c_f$ the Clifford index of the generic fibre $F$ of $f$. In [arXiv:1401.7502v4] it is proved that the relative irregularity of $f$, $q_f=h^{1,0}(S)-b$ is less than or equal to $g(F)-c_f$. In particular this proves the (modified) Xiao's conjecture: $q_{f}le1+g(F)/2$ for fibrations of general Clifford index. In this short note we assume that the generic fiber of $f$ is a plane curve of degree $dge5$ and we prove that $q_{f}leg(F)-c_f-1$. In particular we obtain the conjecture for families of quintic plane curves. This theorem is implied for the following result on infinitesimal deformations: let $F$ a smooth plane curve of degree $dge5$ and let $xi$ be an infinitesimal deformation of $F$ preserving the planarity of the curve. Then the rank of the cup-product map $cdotxi:H^0(F,omeg{a}_F)ightarrow{H}^1(F,O_F)$ is at least $d-3$. We also show that this bound is sharp.
