The ability of an organism to change its phenotype in response to different environments, is termed plasticity. Phenotypic plasticity enables sessile plants to adapt to rapid changes in their surrounding environments, especially during climate changes and seasonal transitions. Interestingly, plants have acquired the ability to utilize multiple plant hormones and secondary metabolites with specialized roles in order to cope with environmental challenges. The aim of our research is to understand and manipulate plant adaptation strategies to fluctuating environments by employing molecular-genetic and biochemical approaches.
