Abstract

Global ecosystems are threatened by climate change, thus understanding plant response is vital. Phenotypic plasticity allows genotypes to produce different phenotypes in response to different environmental conditions, helping plants adapt to changing climates. The reviewsynthesizes molecular, physiological, and morphological data on plant phenotypic plasticity as a dynamic and responsive survival strategy in unpredictable environments. Review analyses how phenotypic plasticity influences plant resilience and persistence under climate change using empirical data from diverse plant species and settings. The study also analyses how phenotypic plasticity influences plant community dynamics, biodiversity, and ecosystem functioning. Phenotypic plasticity's potential to attenuate climate change and facilitate range alterations is also explored, showing its importance in plant ranges.  Study reviewsgenetic, genomic, ecological, and climatological research on plant phenotypic plasticity in climate adaptation.  Findings stressplant species' resilience in reducing climate change's impact on global ecosystems and influencing conservation and management.   Retraction Notice: This paper has been retracted from the journal after receipt of written complains.
