Integrated phenomic and genomic analyses unveil modes of altered phenotypic plasticity during wheat improvement
We systematically evaluate phenome-wide wheat phenotypic plasticity. Two reaction-norm parameters based on specific environmental indices capture varied degrees of phenotypic plasticity for each trait across wheat accessions. Two Green Revolution genes have different effect spectra in altering phenome-wide phenotypic plasticity. By incorporating the evolutionary dimension, we reveal dominant modes of phenotypic plasticity change during wheat improvement.
