Gene Expression Profiles Suggest a Better Cold Acclimation of Polyploids in the Alpine Species <i>Ranunculus kuepferi</i> (Ranunculaceae)

Alpine habitats are shaped by harsh abiotic conditions and cold climates. Temperature stress can affect phenotypic plasticity, reproduction, and epigenetic profiles, which may affect acclimation and adaptation. Distribution patterns suggest that polyploidy seems to be advantageous under cold conditi...
