Abstract excerpt
Covariation between light quality- and photoperiod-mediated phenotypic plasticity was investigated using Arabidopsis thaliana. Three episodes of artificial selection were imposed on an index that quantified the plastic response to reduced red to far-red ratios (R:FR), with higher index values indicating greater plasticity. Relative to control lines, two high plasticity (HP) lines showed 1.6- and 2.4-fold...
