Evolution and maintenance of phenotypic plasticity
Biosystems, 2022 We introduce a novel framework for exploring the evolutionary consequences of phenotypic plasticity (adaptive and non-adaptive) integrating both genic and epigenetic effects on phenotype via stochastic differential equations and in-silico selection. In accordance with the most significant results derived from prior models, we demonstrate how plasticity

Functional Mapping of Phenotypic Plasticity of Staphylococcus aureus Under Vancomycin Pressure
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021 Phenotypic plasticity is the exhibition of various phenotypic traits produced by a single genotype in response to environmental changes, enabling organisms to adapt to environmental changes by maintaining growth and reproduction. Despite its significance

Should Root Plasticity Be a Crop Breeding Target?
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2020 Root phenotypic plasticity has been proposed as a target for the development of more productive crops in variable environments. However, the plasticity of root anatomical and architectural responses to environmental cues is highly complex, and the ...

Ecological consequences of phenotypic plasticity [PDF]
Trends in Ecology & Evolution, 2005 Phenotypic plasticity is widespread in nature, and often involves ecologically relevant behavioral, physiological, morphological and life-historical traits. As a result, plasticity alters numerous interactions between organisms and their abiotic and biotic 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 phenotypic plasticity of developmental modules [PDF]
EvoDevo, 2016 Organisms develop and evolve in a modular fashion, but how individual modules interact with the environment remains poorly understood. Phenotypically plastic traits are often under selection, and studies are needed to address how traits respond to the environment in a modular fashion.

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 ...
