Variation in plastic responses to light results from selection in different competitive environments-A game theoretical approach using virtual plants.

Phenotypic plasticity is a vital strategy for plants to deal with changing conditions by inducing phenotypes favourable in different environments. Understanding how natural selection acts on variation in phenotypic plasticity in plants is therefore a central question in ecology, but is often ignored...
