Phenotypic plasticity and genetic variation in leaf traits of Yushania niitakayamensis (Bambusoideae; Poaceae) in contrasting light environments.

Abstract excerpt

Yushania niitakayamensis (Bambusoideae; Poaceae), a perennial grass distributed from mid to high elevations in Taiwan, is often found growing in exposed grassland or shaded forest understories. To answer the question how does Y. niitakayamensis cope with contrasting light availability of habitats, we compared (1) leaf ecophysiological traits between populations of Y. niitakayamensis growing in exposed and shaded...
