Local adaptation shapes species diversity, can be a stepping stone to ecological speciation,
and can facilitate species range expansion. Population genetic analyses, which complement …

There is considerable interest in the occurrence and molecular mechanisms of phenotypic
plasticity and genotype-by-environment interactions (G× E) in plant populations. The …

Plant growth and development are influenced by the genetic composition of the plant (G),
the environment (E), and the interaction between them (G× E). To produce suitable …

The study of senescence in plants is complicated by diverse levels of temporal and spatial
dynamics as well as the impact of external biotic and abiotic factors and crop plant …

If climate change outpaces the rate of adaptive evolution within a site, populations
previously well adapted to local conditions may decline or disappear, and banked seeds …

The magnitude and genetic basis of local adaptation is of fundamental interest in
evolutionary biology. However, field experiments usually do not consider early life stages …

How natural diversity is maintained is an evolutionary puzzle. Genetic variation can be
eroded by drift and directional selection but some polymorphisms persist for long time …

Highlights•Phenotyping platforms for measuring plant traits at different scales are
developed.•Need for data storage and analyses introduced the notion of phenotyping …

Understanding the evolutionary factors that impact the genetic architecture of traits is a
central goal of evolutionary genetics. Here, we investigate how quantitative trait variation …

To identify the ecological and genetic mechanisms of local adaptation requires estimating
selection on traits, identifying their genetic basis, and evaluating whether divergence in …
