Phenotypic Plasticity in Plant Adaptation and Coexistence

Understanding the mechanisms to form the plant functional interrelations with the environment, that provides plant growth, development, reproduction, and distribution in various ecological conditions, is one of the priority problems of theoretical and experimental biology, especially under the forecast of climate global changed. The questions on stability and plasticity (phenotypic and genetic) of ontogenesis and life strategy of plants in the light of species interrelations in a cenosis are the most topical. Plants ensure the existence of mankind and all living organisms on earth by supplying oxygen to atmosphere, absorbing carbon dioxide from it and providing the necessary food. We investigated plant responses at the organism, cellular and molecular levels to the adverse changes of water regime using aerial-aquatic and true water plants grown in nature and in the experimental conditions during more 2 decades. Analysing the results of these investigations and observations of the surrounding terrestrial vegetation, we came to certain thoughts on a role of phenotypic plasticity in the individual development of plants, their adaptation to the environment and ecological interrelations. A short review of available literary data and our ideas on these questions is presented in the given paper.
