Abstract: -(Ecophysiology). An attempt to delineate rather than to precisely define what we mean by "ecophysiology" is based on a brief historical overview of what eventually led to development of instrumentation and sampling strategies for analyses that allow description of physiological performance in the field. These techniques are surveyed. Ecophysiology originally is aut-ecology dedicated to the behaviour of individual plants, species or higher taxa, viz. "physiotypes", in particular habitats. Examples of ecophysio… Show more

“…Plant ecophysiology is the study of the behavior of plants in particular habitats which allow the understanding of physiological performance in the field (Lüttge and Scarano, 2004). This facilitates the determination of conditions that are helpful for the development of a crop (Solarte et al, 2010), providing decision-making tools for crop management and sowing sites (Higgins et al, 1992) because the genetic potential of the individual will only be reached if the environmental conditions are close to optimal (Rabbinge et al, 1985).…”

“…On the other hand plasticity may enhance speciation by allowing large ecological amplitudes (Grime et al 1986;West-Eberhard 1986, 1989, 2003Solbrig 1994;Lüttge 1995aLüttge ,b, 2000Lüttge , 2005Gehrig et al 2001;Lüttge & Scarano 2004). Thus, plastic variation of phenotypes generates biodiversity.…”

“…Populational approach in ecophysiological studies considers the differences between individuals, which is condition for the operation of natural selection (Bazzaz, 1996). In the same way, Lüttge and Scarano (2004) also emphasized the importance of taking into account the intra-specific variability in ecophysiological studies, including phenotypic plasticity and its importance on the development of new species. Phenotypic plasticity, usually defined as the property of genotypes of exhibiting different phenotypes in different environments, could delay speciation due to the protection of genotypes from a specific environmental pressure.…”
