Ecological genetics of an induced plant defense against herbivores: additive genetic variance and costs of phenotypic plasticity.

Evolution; international journal of organic evolution - 1 Nov 2002

Agrawal Anurag A, Conner Jeffrey K, Johnson Marc T J, Wallsgrove Roger

Abstract excerpt

Adaptive phenotypic plasticity in chemical defense is thought to play a major role in plant-herbivore interactions. We investigated genetic variation for inducibility of defensive traits in wild radish plants and asked if the evolution of induction is constrained by costs of phenotypic plasticity. In a greenhouse experiment using paternal half-sibling families, we show additive genetic variation for plasticity in...
