The advantages of plants changing their structure and function in the face of environmental change "could lead to the selection -- in the case of crops -- of more plastic varieties, which may not necessarily be the most productive, nor have the most easily-predictable productivity," the scientist stresses.
According to Valladares, the next step is "to understand the mechanisms that underlie plasticity, such as epigenetics -- non-genetic factors that determine an organism's development -- and how this impacts on the biological efficacy of wild species or on the long-term yield of agricultural species."
