Phenotypic integration does not constrain phenotypic plasticity: differential plasticity of traits is associated to their integration across environments.

open access: yesNew Phytologist, 2021
Understanding constraints to phenotypic plasticity is key given its role on the response of organisms to environmental change. It has been suggested that phenotypic integration, the structure of trait covariation, could limit trait plasticity.

Differences in Phenotypic Plasticity between Invasive and Native Plants Responding to Three Environmental Factors

open access: yesLife, 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.

Phenotypic plasticity underlies local invasion and distant metastasis in colon cancer

open access: yeseLife, 2021
Phenotypic plasticity represents the most relevant hallmark of the carcinoma cell as it bestows it with the capacity of transiently altering its morphological and functional features while en route to the metastatic site. However, the study of phenotypic

Ecological adaptation in European eels is based on phenotypic plasticity

open access: yesProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2021
Significance Populations within a species may experience genetic adaptation to local environmental conditions while individuals may tolerate variation in environmental conditions due to phenotypic plasticity.

Drivers of dynamic intra-tumor heterogeneity and phenotypic plasticity.

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Physiology - Cell Physiology, 2021
Cancer is a clonal disease, i.e. all tumor cells within a malignant lesion trace their lineage back to a precursor somatic cell that acquired oncogenic mutations during development and aging.

Role of Renin-Angiotensin System Components in Atherosclerosis: Focus on Ang-II, ACE2, and Ang-1–7

open access: yesFrontiers 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 ...

Genetic Regulation of Phenotypic Plasticity and Canalisation in Yeast Growth. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS 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.

Intraspecific variation in thermal acclimation and tolerance between populations of the winter ant, Prenolepis imparis. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Thermal phenotypic plasticity, otherwise known as acclimation, plays an essential role in how organisms respond to short-term temperature changes.

Phenotypic plasticity promotes lymph nodes metastasis and drug resistance in lung squamous cell carcinomas

open access: yesHeliyon, 2023
Background: Phenotypic plasticity (PP) is a major promoter of tumor metastasis and drug resistance. Nevertheless, the molecular features and clinical significance of phenotypic plasticity in lung squamous cell carcinomas (LSCC) remained largely ...

Fluctuating population dynamics promotes the evolution of phenotypic plasticity [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
An increasing number of studies are showing evidence in support of sympatric speciation. One basic question remains, however. When a population has undergone a branching in its phenotype, is this due to an evolutionary branching in the underlying ...
