vejrgener
Vejrgener is a Danish term meaning weather genes, used informally to denote genetic variants that influence organisms’ responses to weather. It is not a formal category in genetics. They regulate plasticity in traits affected by weather, such as temperature tolerance, moisture use, and timing of life-history events.
In plants, vejrgener can affect flowering time, vernalization sensitivity, frost tolerance, drought resistance, stomatal behavior, and
Detection and study rely on quantitative genetics, genome-wide association studies, and experimental trials under controlled weather
Applications include breeding more climate-resilient crops, improving predictive models for yields and disease pressure under variable
The term is mainly descriptive, used in Danish-language literature and some interdisciplinary discussions. It does not
