Genetic Regulation of Phenotypic Plasticity and Canalisation in Yeast Growth. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 The ability of a genotype to show diverse phenotypes in different environments is called phenotypic plasticity. Phenotypic plasticity helps populations to evade extinctions in novel environments, facilitates adaptation and fuels evolution.

Phenotypic plasticity in a population of odonates [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2018 AbstractThe maintenance of phenotypic plasticity within a species ensures survival through environmental flux. Plastic strategies are increasingly important given the number and magnitude of modern anthropogenic threats to the environment. We tested for phenotypic plasticity in the odonate Argia vivida in response to resource limitation.

Evolution of generalists by phenotypic plasticity [PDF]
iScience, 2019 Abstract Adapting organisms face a tension between specializing their phenotypes for certain ecological tasks or developing generalist strategies which permit persistence in multiple environmental conditions.

Life, 2022 The phenotypic plasticity hypothesis suggests that exotic plants may have greater phenotypic plasticity than native plants. However, whether phenotypic changes vary according to different environmental factors has not been well studied.

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 ...

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 ...

Evolutionary Applications, 2022 Phenotypic plasticity is a main mechanism for organisms to cope with changing environments and broaden their ecological range. Plasticity is genetically based and can evolve under natural selection, such that populations within a species show distinct ...

Domestication reduces phenotypic plasticity in chaya (Cnidoscolus aconitifolius (Mill.) I.M. Johnst)
Botanical Sciences, 2021 Background: Natural selection optimizes phenotypic plasticity in plants found in environmentally variable habitats. However, it is unclear how artificial selection has affected the phenotypic plasticity of crops.
