Fitness costs and benefits of gene expression plasticity in rice under drought
S. C. Groen, E. Hamann, I. Calic…·S. J. Franks
This study examines selection on drought-induced gene expression plasticity in rice, finding that housekeeping genes are disfavored to switch off under drought, while selection acts polygenically on co-expressed gene modules.
