Developmental plasticity
Developmental plasticity - the concept that adaptation to changing and unfavorable environmental conditions are possible but may come at the price of compromised health potentials - has evolutionary grounding as it facilitates survival but dissents with fundamental evolutionary principles in that it may advance the lesser fit. It is an important cornerstone of the Developmental Origins of Healt...
متن کاملDevelopmental plasticity
Early life constraints affecting phenotype in later life is a trend consistently observed across different species. Of particular relevance to evolutionary medicine are the effects of intra-uterine growth leading to diabetes, hypertension, cardiovascular disease and other age-related disorders. The broader question of conditions under which such developmental plasticity or predictive adaptive r...
متن کاملDevelopmental plasticity
Early life experiences can have profound and persistent effects on traits expressed throughout the life course, with consequences for later life behavior, disease risk, and mortality rates. The shaping of later life traits by early life environments, known as 'developmental plasticity', has been well-documented in humans and non-human animals, and has consequently captured the attention of both...
متن کاملSignalling for developmental plasticity.
We describe some of the regulatory mechanisms found in the signalling networks that mediate plant plasticity in response to the environment. In the absence of the relevant environmental cue, the response is often actively repressed at multiple levels, including chromatin structure, mRNA stability and protein degradation. The environmental signal normally initiates several pathways that share si...
متن کاملDevelopmental plasticity in plants.
As sessile organisms, plants are unable to seek out environmental conditions optimal for their growth and development but instead must complete their life cycles in the environment in which they are growing. However, plants are remarkably plastic, such that a single genotype is able to give rise to a wide range of phenotypes. Developmental plasticity has profound implications for plant evolutio...
