Abstract excerpt
Phenotypic plasticity is an important response mechanism of plants to environmental heterogeneity. Here, we explored the genetic basis of plastic responses of Arabidopsis thaliana to water deficit by experimentally mapping quantitative trait loci (QTL) in two recombinant inbred populations (Cvi x Ler and Ler x Col). We detected genetic variation and significant genotype-by-environment interactions for many traits...
