    Growth plasticity in response to shading as a potential key to the evolution of angiosperm herbs

  • Original language description

    We put forward a new hypothesis that an important advantage of the herbaceous growth form lies in its greater capacity for plastic response to neighbour shading. Since most herbs form aboveground structures only for 1 year, they can respond to light heterogeneity more plastically than woody plants with long-living structures which need to pursue longterm goals such as stability and upward growth. We carried out an experiment comparing plastic response to directional green shading of 21 species of young herbaceous and woody plants. We measured change of their tilt and length and compared it between herbs and woody plants using phylogenetic techniques. Both herbs and woody plants in our experiment responded to directed green shading by growing away from the shading plastic film. Overall response of herbs was, in agreement with the hypothesis, slightly stronger than response of woody plants, although there was high interspecific variation. The data indicate that herbs indeed have greater plasticity of stem growth in response to neighbour shading than woody plants, although the overall difference is not very strong. This capacity for plastic response might have played a role as one of the drivers of the evolution of the herbaceous growth form.
