Role of phenotypic and transcriptomic plasticity in alpine adaptation of Arabidopsis arenosa.

Abstract excerpt

Plasticity is an important component of the response of organism to environmental changes, but whether plasticity facilitates adaptation is still largely debated. Using transcriptomic and phenotypic data, we explored the evolution of ancestral plasticity during alpine colonization in Arabidopsis arenosa. We leveraged naturally replicated adaptation in four distinct mountain regions in Central Europe. We sampled...
