Role of genetic architecture in phenotypic plasticity.

Abstract excerpt

Phenotypic plasticity, the ability of an organism to display different phenotypes across environments, is widespread in nature. Plasticity aids survival in novel environments. Herein, we review studies from yeast that allow us to start uncovering the genetic architecture of phenotypic plasticity. Genetic variants and their interactions impact the phenotype in different environments, and distinct environments...
