Characterization, costs, cues and future perspectives of phenotypic plasticity [PDF]
Annals of Botany, 2022 Background Plastic responses of plants to the environment are ubiquitous. Phenotypic plasticity occurs in many forms and at many biological scales, and its adaptive value depends on the specific environment and interactions with other plant traits and ...

The relative importance of genetic diversity and phenotypic plasticity in determining invasion success of a clonal weed in the USA and China [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2016 Phenotypic plasticity has been proposed as an important adaptive strategy for clonal plants in heterogeneous habitats. Increased phenotypic plasticity can be especially beneficial for invasive clonal plants, allowing them to colonize new environments ...

Adaptive Phenotypic Plasticity Stabilizes Evolution in Fluctuating Environments
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Fluctuating environmental conditions are ubiquitous in natural systems, and populations have evolved various strategies to cope with such fluctuations. The particular mechanisms that evolve profoundly influence subsequent evolutionary dynamics.

The Genetic Architecture for Phenotypic Plasticity of the Rice Grain Ionome
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2020 The ionome of the rice grain is crucial for the health of populations that consume rice as a staple food. However, the contribution of phenotypic plasticity to the variation of rice grain ionome and the genetic architecture of phenotypic plasticity are ...

The genetics of phenotypic plasticity. XVII. Response to climate change
Evolutionary Applications, 2020 The world is changing at a rapid rate, threatening extinction for a large part of the world's biota. One potential response to those altered conditions is to evolve so as to be able to persist in place. Such evolution includes not just traits themselves,

Phenotypic plasticity of flowering time and plant height related traits in wheat [PDF]
BMC Plant BiologyBackground Climate changes pose challenges to crop production. However, the causes of phenotypic differences across environments remain unclear. Results Here, heading date (HD), flowering date (FD), and plant height (PH) were measured along with four ...

Phenotypic flexibility and the evolution of organismal design [PDF]
, 2003 Evolutionary biologists often use phenotypic differences between species and between individuals to gain an understanding of organismal design. The focus of much recent attention has been on developmental plasticity – the environmentally induced ...
