Flood response is a crucial component of the life strategy of many plants, but it is seldom
studied in non‐flooded tolerant species, even though they may be subjected to stressful …

The emergence of new techniques in plant science, including molecular and phenomic
tools, presents a novel opportunity to re-evaluate the way we examine the phenotype. Our …

Phenotypic plasticity is essential for plant adaptation to changing environments but some
factors limit its expression, causing plants to fail in producing the best phenotype for a given …

Populations of widely distributed species often exhibit geographic variation in functional
traits in response to environmental heterogeneity. Such trait variation may be the result of …

Crop domestication has resulted in relevant phenotypic divergences between crop plants
and wild progenitors, but domestication effects on phenotypic plasticity are poorly known …

The evolution of phenotypic plasticity of plant traits may be constrained by costs and limits.
However, the precise constraints are still unclear for many traits under different ecological …

Abstract Background and Aims Determining within-species large-scale variation in
phenotypic traits is central to elucidate the drivers of species' ranges. Intraspecific …

Microhabitat heterogeneity can lead to fine‐scale local adaptation when gene flow is
restricted, which may be important for the maintenance of genetic variation within …

Abstract Background and Aims While trait-based approaches have provided critical insights
into general plant functioning, we lack a comprehensive quantitative view on plant strategies …

The exploitation of natural variation in Arabidopsis thaliana (Arabidopsis) provides a huge
potential for the identification of the molecular mechanisms underlying this variation as a …
