Phenotypic plasticity can facilitate adaptive evolution in gene regulatory circuits.

BMC evolutionary biology - 6 Jan 2011

Espinosa-Soto Carlos, Martin Olivier C, Wagner Andreas

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Many important evolutionary adaptations originate in the modification of gene regulatory circuits to produce new gene activity phenotypes. How do evolving populations sift through an astronomical number of circuits to find circuits with new adaptive phenotypes? The answer may often involve phenotypic plasticity. Phenotypic plasticity allows a genotype to produce different - alternative - phenotypes...
