These features suggest that, as with other basal angiosperms, there is a high degree of developmental plasticity.
The concept of critical periods is a widely accepted and prominent theme in development, with strong implications to developmental plasticity.
This pattern of growth is called "developmental plasticity".
His recent studies indicate a role for non-visual pathways in the phenomenon of developmental plasticity during the postnatal "critical period".
He has suggested that the "modules" result from the brain's developmental plasticity and that they are adaptive responses to local conditions, not past evolutionary environments.
(Note that is not the same as neural developmental plasticity.)
(2) What is the developmental plasticity of gene expression?
The phylogenetic origin of jaws in vertebrates: developmental plasticity and heterochrony.
The study of developmental and phenotypic plasticity continues.
Their contemporary Williams argued that genetic assimilation proceeds at the cost of a loss of developmental plasticity, and should be a minor mechanism.
