Predicting plant robustness from respiration traits – novel concepts and tools
Abstract
Respiration traits were identified as highly promising for predicting plant robustness. They are involved in ‘environmental plant plasticity’. In the presentation, the rational of proclaiming ‘plasticity’ per se as selective criterion will be explained. New concepts and tools, such as calorespirometry, will be presented. Recent results obtained through applying this approach will be shown from diverse species.
