Genetic basis and selection for life-history trait plasticity on alternative host plants for the cereal aphid Sitobion avenae.
Sitobion avenae (F.) can survive on various plants in the Poaceae, which may select for highly plastic genotypes. But phenotypic plasticity was often thought to be non-genetic, and of little evolutionary significance historically, and many problems related to adaptive plasticity, its genetic basis a...
