Intraspecific genetic variation in the genomes of plant species is investigated largely as the first line of adaptation processes to microclimatic fluctuation in natural habitats. Natural metabolic plasticity, however, is hardly predictable by whole-genome sequence information. According to previous findings, the tight regulation of subcellular metabolism is part of a strategy of natural Arabidopsis thaliana accessions to adapt to a changing environment. In his work, Vladimir combines molecular subcellular analysis and biomathematical modelling to eventually resolve a so far neglected component of stress adaptation: natural variation of subcellular metabolic compartmentation as a response to a dynamic environment.
