Description
Nitrogen (N) is central for plant growth, and metabolic plasticity can provide a strat-egy to respond to changing N availability. We showed that two local A. thaliana pop-ulations exhibited differential plasticity in the compounds of photorespiratory and starch degradation pathways in response to three N conditions. Association of me-tabolite levels with growth-related and fitness traits indicated that controlled plas-ticity in these pathways could contribute to local adaptation and play a role in plant evolution.
