Question

Given the warming climate, you are interested in how seed production of a certain plant species if affected by temperature. In particular, you are interested in whether seed production shows a plastic response to temperature, and, if so, whether there is the possibility for adaptive evolution of phenotypic plasticity in response to climate change. Please describe the steps that would be needed to demonstrate there is the capacity for adaptive evolution in the population you are studying.

*Compare reaction norms of different genotypes

Explanation / Answer

Answer:-

We know phenotypic plasticity of plants is to express different phenotype under different environmental conditions. Phenotypic plasticity in plants generally include shape, size and thickness of leaves, size of seeds,.

Effect of temperature is variable in certain plant species.
