  abstract = {{P}henotypic plasticity is an important strategy for coping with changing environments. {H}owever, environmental change usually results in strong directional selection, and little is known empirically about how this affects plasticity. {I}f genes affecting a trait value also affect its plasticity, selection on the trait should influence plasticity. {S}ynthetic outbred populations of {A}rabidopsis thaliana were selected for earlier flowering under simulated spring- and winter-annual conditions to investigate the correlated response of flowering time plasticity and its effect on family-by-environment variance ({V}g{X}e) within each selected line. {W}e found that selection affected plasticity in an environmentally dependent manner: under simulated spring-annual conditions, selection increased the magnitude of plastic response but decreased {V}g{X}e; selection under simulated winter-annual conditions reduced the magnitude of plastic response but did not alter {V}g{X}e significantly. {A}s selection may constrain future response to environmental change, the environment for crop breeding and ex situ conservation programmes should be carefully chosen. {M}odels of species persistence under environmental change should also consider the interaction between selection and plasticity.},
