Objective

Predicting the response of plants to global climate changes, including not only warming but also changes in rainfall and subsequent water availability, is one of the most significant scientific problems this centure. We performed a comparative study of certain micromorpological, physiological and molecular traits of widespread, closely related but ecologically different Sium species − aerial-aquatic S. latifolium and terrestrial S. sisaroideum to check a hypothesis about the important role of phenotypic plasticity in plant adaptation to different soil moisture in biotopes.

Methods

Plant samples were analyzed by using the methods of c... view more»
