Phenotypic plasticity of leaf shape along a temperature gradient in Acer rubrum.

PloS one - 29 Oct 2009

Royer Dana L, Meyerson Laura A, Robertson Kevin M, Adams Jonathan M

Abstract excerpt

Both phenotypic plasticity and genetic determination can be important for understanding how plants respond to environmental change. However, little is known about the plastic response of leaf teeth and leaf dissection to temperature. This gap is critical because these leaf traits are commonly used to reconstruct paleoclimate from fossils, and such studies tacitly assume that traits measured from fossils reflect...
