Branching the risks: architectural plasticity and bet-hedging in Mediterranean annuals.

Plant biology (Stuttgart, Germany) - 1 Nov 2013

Shemesh H, Novoplansky A

Abstract excerpt

It has been suggested that architectural plasticity in shoot size and number allows plants to manage environmental risks. Simpler structures require shorter development times and fewer resources, which secure minimal fitness even under risky and unfavourable conditions. Here we tested the hypothesis that the magnitude of such architectural plasticity depends on the species' developmental strategy. Specifically,...
