Phenotypic plasticity in Drosophila pigmentation caused by temperature sensitivity of a chromatin regulator network.

Abstract excerpt

Phenotypic plasticity is the ability of a genotype to produce contrasting phenotypes in different environments. Although many examples have been described, the responsible mechanisms are poorly understood. In particular, it is not clear how phenotypic plasticity is related to buffering, the maintenance of a constant phenotype against genetic or environmental variation. We investigate here the genetic basis of a...
