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

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.

This study shows that high plasticity in underutilized crop species like Amaranthus leads to maladaptive responses to environmental changes, limiting their resilience to climate shifts.
