An eco-evo-devo genetic network model of stress response.

ABSTRACT: The capacity of plants to resist abiotic stresses is of great importance to agricultural, ecological and environmental sustainability, but little is known about its genetic underpinnings. Existing genetic tools can identify individual genetic variants mediating biochemical, physiological, and cellular defenses, but fail to chart an overall genetic atlas behind stress resistance. We view stress response as an eco-evo-devo process by which plants adaptively respond to stress through complex interactions of developmental canalization, phenotypic plasticity, and phenotypic integration. As such, we define and quantify stress response as the developmental change of adaptive traits from stress-free to stress-exposed environments. We integrate composite functional mapping and evolutionary game the
