TLDR
Morphological and anatomical traits of mature leaves grown terrestrially, submerged, or after transfer at 8, 16, or 24 days were measured and assessed using analysis of variance and principal components analysis.Abstract:
Environmentally induced developmental plasticity is characteristic of many heterophyllous semiaquatic species, including Ranunculus flabellaris. Underwater shoots of this species form leaves with e...read more

Flooding Stress: Acclimations and Genetic Diversity
TL;DR: This exploration of natural variation in strategies that improve O(2) and carbohydrate status during flooding provides valuable resources for the improvement of crop endurance of an environmental adversity that is enhanced by global warming.
Journal ArticleDOI
Response of aquatic plants to abiotic factors: a review
TL;DR: This review aims to determine how environmental characteristics of aquatic habitats rule species occurrence, life-history traits and community dynamics among aquatic plants, and if these particular adaptations and responses fit in with general predictions relating to abiotic factors and plant communities.
Journal ArticleDOI
An overview of the evolutionary causes and consequences of behavioural plasticity
TL;DR: It is argued that fine-grained and coarse- grained variation may differentially select for activational and developmental plasticity, respectively, because environmental variation experienced by an organism is largely determined by behaviour.

Constraints on the evolution of phenotypic plasticity: limits and costs of phenotype and plasticity

TL;DR: It is advocated for the view that relaxed selection and variable selection intensities are likely more important constraints to the evolution of plasticity than the costs of Plasticity, and opportunities to offset costs of phenotypes through ontogeny, amelioration of phenotypic costs across environments, and the condition-dependent hypothesis are examined.

The evolution and functional significance of leaf shape in the angiosperms
Adrienne B. Nicotra,Andrea Leigh,C. Kevin Boyce,Cynthia Jones,Karl J. Niklas,Dana L. Royer,Hirokazu Tsukaya +6 more
TL;DR: The evolutionary context of leaf shape diversification is reviewed, the proximal mechanisms that generate the diversity in extant systems are discussed, and the evidence for each the above hypotheses is considered in the context of the functional significance of Leaf shape.

Adaptation to heterogeneous environments. i. variation in heterophylly in ranunculus flammula l.
TL;DR: Whether conformance (plasticity) or regulation (stability) is the more adaptive solution for an organism faced with environmental heterogeneity depends on the peculiarities of the organ systems affected and the extent of the environmental change.

Ontogeny of Photosynthetic Performance in Fragaria virginiana under Changing Light Regimes
TL;DR: Leaf expansion was completed more rapidly the higher the growth photon flux density and leaves senesced more quickly in high light and Adaptive potential is greatest early in blade expansion and decreases as expansion is completed.
