I am attempting to organize a session entitled "Simulating phenotypic
plasticity to the environment" for the upcoming American Society of
Agronomy meetings to be held in Pittsburgh, PA, 1-5 November 2009. This
session will be part of the A03 Agroclimatology and Agronomic Modeling
division presentations. Phenotypic plasticity can be defined as “the
ability of a genotype to produce distinct phenotypes when exposed to
different environments throughout its ontogeny”. I believe that
quantifying phenotypic plasticity will provide new insights into the
simulation of crop related processes resulting in improved simulations. As
with many things in life, easy to say, but hard to accomplish. A question,
are “genetic coefficients” constant or are they a function of the
environment? If you would like to present a paper or a poster in this
session or have a question, please let me know. Unfortunately, there are
no funds available to support travel to this meeting. Thanks.
