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 ...

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 ...

Involvement of shedding induced by ADAM17 on the nitric oxide pathway in hypertension
Frontiers in Molecular Biosciences, 2022 A Disintegrin and Metalloprotease 17 (ADAM17), also called tumor necrosis factor-ɑ (TNF-ɑ) convertase (TACE), is a well-known protease involved in the sheddase of growth factors, chemokines and cytokines.

Role of Renin-Angiotensin System Components in Atherosclerosis: Focus on Ang-II, ACE2, and Ang-1–7
Frontiers in Physiology, 2020 Atherosclerosis is the leading cause of vascular disease worldwide and contributes significantly to deaths from cardiovascular complications. There is a remarkably close relationship between atherosclerotic plaque formation and the activation of renin ...
