Climate gradients explain population-level divergence in drought-induced plasticity of functional traits and gene expression in a South African Protea
M. Akman, J. E. Carlson, A. M. Latimer
The paper examines how climate gradients influence drought-induced plasticity in functional traits and gene expression across populations of Protea repens, finding that temperature, not precipitation, drives these patterns.
