Differentiation for drought strategy but conserved plasticity to heat and drought in locally adapted populations of <i>Arabidopsis thaliana</i>
These results highlight that locally adapted populations with genetic differentiation for traits within a single environment can respond to the same stressors with plasticity in the same direction. Further, the combination of heat and drought will be extremely damaging to plant populations.
