Our study supports the central assumptions of #MST and highlights the role of allometric models to understand the #physiological responses involved in #plant #adaptation. #Allometry is more variable between genotypes than between environments. Suggesting that natural selection can lead to the genetic differentiation of plant allometries in different environments, but that environmental changes have limited effect on a genetically-determined type of allometry.

Using the #PHENOPSIS platform to automate measuring and testing #genotypes - Our study suggests that plant #allometry is genetically variable and might be related to different adaptive strategies to cope with stressing conditions.

I just asked #ChatGPT to give me some scaling and #allometry #haiku … Not bad

Scaling in biology,
Allometry and dimensional,
Space and time we scale.

From physiology,
To ecosystems and evolution,
Scaling laws we learn.

Scaling laws revealed,
From body size to species diversity,
Biology expands.

How does a crocodylian eye size up to its socket? And why do crocs have 12+ eye muscles? Find out in a new paper by Donald Cerio and Larry Witmer:
