Contrasting selective signatures of gene expression plasticity in response to antifungal clotrimazole and common environmental stresses in yeast.

Abstract excerpt

Phenotypic plasticity plays a key role in adaptation to fluctuating environments. However, its evolutionary significance remains debated, with conflicting views on whether it is actively maintained by natural selection or a neutral consequence of molecular constraints. In this study, we examine the evolutionary role of gene expression plasticity in yeast populations exposed to both common, ancestrally experienced...
