Stage-dependent plasticity in biomass allocation and allometry in response to population density in Abutilon theophrasti: a step forward to understanding the nature of phenotypic plasticity
How plants respond to density via modular plasticity is obscure, probably because relevant studies using covariance analysis (ANCOVA) and allometric...
