The relative importance of genetic diversity and phenotypic plasticity in determining invasion success of a clonal weed in the USA and China
(Frontiers Media S.A., 2016-02)
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 ...
Contribution of population-level phenotypic plasticity to the invasiveness of Zaprionus indianus (Diptera: Drosophilidae)
(Czech Academy of Sciences, 2020-03)
Zaprionus indianus is a species of fly native to the Afrotropical biogeographic region, which around twenty years ago invaded the American continent. Several studies have shown that local adaptation and phenotypic plasticity ...
Quinoa Phenotyping Methodologies: An International Consensus
(MDPI, 2021-08)
Quinoa is a crop originating in the Andes but grown more widely and with the genetic potential for significant further expansion. Due to the phenotypic plasticity of quinoa, varieties need to be assessed across years and ...
Environmentally induced phenotypic plasticity and DNA methylation changes in a wild potato growing in two contrasting Andean experimental gardens
(Nature Publishing Group, 2021-01)
DNA methylation can be environmentally modulated and plays a role in phenotypic plasticity. To understand the role of environmentally induced epigenetic variation and its dynamics in natural populations and ecosystems, it ...
Assessing the efficiency of phenotyping early traits in a greenhouse automated platform for predicting drought tolerance of soybean in the field
(Frontiers Media S.A., 2018-05)
Conventional field phenotyping for drought tolerance, the most important factor limiting yield at a global scale, is labor-intensive and time-consuming. Automated greenhouse platforms can increase the precision and throughput ...
Contemporary climate influence on the variability patterns of Anadenanthera colubrina var. cebil, a key species in Seasonally Dry Tropical Forests
(Springer, 2021-05)
The distribution of many species has been shaped by climate changes, and their current phenotypic and genetic variability reflect microclimatically suitable habitats. We undertook our study to relate observed contemporary ...
Phenotypic diversity and its relationship to reproductive potential in changing social contexts in a lizard model
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2020-08)
Phenotype in lizards is related to reproductive function, and hence to reproductive output. Besides the intraspecific diversity in phenotypes, their temporal variation throughout the reproductive season in relation to the ...
Phenotypic Diversity of Triatoma infestans at the Microgeographic Level in the Gran Chaco of Argentina and the Andean Valleys of Bolivia
(Entomological Society of America, 2008-07)
Triatoma infestans (Klug) is the main vector of Trypanosoma cruzi, etiologic agent of Chagas disease. The phenotype of the species varies at different geographic scales. The objective of this study was to compare the ...
Phenotyping and QTL mapping for cold tolerance at the germination and seedling stages in Argentine temperate rice
(Springer, 2020-07)
In Argentina, the yield potential of rice (Oryza sativa L.) under suboptimal temperatures of temperate regions and during early sowing in tropical regions depends on its low-temperature germinability (LTG) and subsequent ...
Phenotypic plasticity of European larch radial growth and wood density along a-1,000 m elevational gradient
(Wiley, 2021-02)
Phenotypic plasticity is a key mechanism for sedentary long-living species to adjust to changing environment. Here, we use mature Larix decidua tree-ring variables collected along an elevational transect in the French Alps ...
