If resources are scarce, the signal is weaker but the sensitivity is enhanced but when the signal is abundant, a stronger and more robust signal is produced. Our study, which thus suggests that the plant optimizes a signal cost-to-robustness trade-off, has just been published in <a href="http://www.pnas.org/content/early/2014/04/11/1320355111.abstract" target="_blank">PNAS</a> |
