A global meta-analysis of the relative extent of intraspecific trait variation in plant communities. (2015, neutral): “Previous research suggests that phenotypic plasticity may be constrained in stressful environments (Valladares et al. 2007).”
Tropical tree diversity enhances light capture through crown plasticity and spatial and temporal niche differences (2014, background): “…changes in response to light availability are among the best-studied examples of phenotypic plasticity in plants (Sterck and Bongers 2001, Valladares et al. 2007); they include shifts in biomass allocation between aboveground vs. belowground parts (Bloom et al. 1985, Paquette et al.…”
The distribution of below‐ground traits is explained by intrinsic species differences and intraspecific plasticity in response to root neighbours (2013, background): “At the population level within species, traits can be affected by intraspecific genetic variation, but an individual may also vary its phenotype to cope with environmental heterogeneity (i.e. plasticity sensu Valladeres, Gianoli & G omez 2007).”
Phenotypic plasticity blurs ecotypic divergence in the response of Quercus coccifera and Pinus halepensis to water stress (2008, background): “…that genetic polymorphism and selection of the most adaptive genotypes are crucial mechanisms in the ecotypic diVerentiation of populations of these species, since phenotypic plasticity of Mediterranean woody plants has been shown to be low (Balaguer et al. 2001; Valladares et al. 2002a, 2007).”
TRY – a global database of plant traits (2011, background): “…– morphological, anatomical, biochemical, physiological or phenological features measurable at the individual level (Violle et al., 2007) – reflect the outcome of evolutionary and community assembly processes responding to abiotic and biotic environmental constraints (Valladares et al., 2007).”
Plant Phenotypic Plasticity in Response to Environmental Factors (2014, background): “Differences among species and populations may reflect different selective pressures on plasticity, different limitations acting upon the maximization of plasticity, or a combination of both [26].”
An overview on drought induced changes in plant growth, water relationsand photosynthesis - (2012, background): “This means, that the higher acclimation capacity, and hence the greater resistance to a given stress factor, is determined by the plant capacity to maintain its physiological processes within the reaction norm, at a greater variation of this factor (Nilsen and Orcutt, 1996; Valladares et al., 2007).”
Comprehending crystalline β-carotene accumulation by comparing engineered cell models and the natural carotenoid-rich system of citrus (2011, neutral): “Under natural conditions, plants are frequently subjected to multiple environmental factors (Chapin et al., 1987; Valladares et al., 2007).”
Higher plasticity in ecophysiological traits enhances the performance and invasion success of Taraxacum officinale (dandelion) in alpine environments (2011, background): “Results from empirical studies indicate that plasticity may play an important role in invasions (Valladares et al. 2007; Matesanz et al. 2010).”
The effects of phenotypic plasticity and local adaptation on forecasts of species range shifts under climate change. (2014, background): “…change, apart from affecting the phenotype of the target species, may influence its interaction with co-occurring species, and the interplay between the interacting species and the environment may ultimately determine the success of adaptation to the environmental shift (Valladares et al. 2007).”
Intra-specific variability in biomass partitioning and carbon isotopic discrimination under moderate drought stress in seedlings from four Pinus pinaster populations (2010, background): “Less phenotypic plasticity is expected for populations enduring more stressful abiotic environments (Rehfeldt et al. 1999; Howe et al. 2003; Valladares et al. 2007).”
Potential for evolutionary responses to climate change – evidence from tree populations (2013, background): “The extent and significance of adaptive phenotypic plasticity is still debated (Valladares et al., 2007), and experimental studies on range margins are still few (Angert, 2009; Stanton-Geddes et al.”
