Abstract:The ability of a genotype to produce different phenotypes according to its surrounding environment is known as phenotypic plasticity. Within different individuals of the same species, phenotypic plasticity can vary greatly. This contrasted response is due to allelic variations and is caused by gene-by-environment interactions (GxE). Finding the genes and the cellular functions that interact with the environment is a current challenge for better understanding the genetic bases of phenotypic plasticity. In order… Show more
