Distinct genetic architecture for trait mean and plasticity in chickpea

This study quantifies phenotypic plasticity in chickpea and shows it has a distinct genetic basis through genome-wide association studies.

Crops under continuous cultivation exhibit less plasticity than those under interrupted cultivation

This study shows that crops under continuous cultivation evolve less plasticity than those under interrupted cultivation, with higher plasticity not compensating for fitness losses in unpredictable environments.
