Arabidopsisplants grown in the field and climate chambers significantly differ in leaf morphology and photosystem components

Plants exhibit phenotypic plasticity and respond to differences in environmental conditions by acclimation. We have systematically compared leaves of Arabidopsis thaliana plants grown in the field and under controlled low, normal and high light conditions in the laboratory to determine their most prominent phenotypic differences.Compared to plants grown under field conditions, the "indoor plants" had larger leaves, modified leaf shapes and...
