英文摘要	Mechanisms underlying adaptation to rapid environmental change are issues in evolutionary biology. It is widely accepted that reduction in genetic diversity when suddenly exposed to an unfavourable environment limits the adaptive potential of populations. With growing empirical evidence that expression diversity is likely to increase in the new environment, the role that expression diversity plays in adaptation needs to be theorized. Here, we first established a negative exponential relationship between expression diversity and genetic diversity using a phenomenological differential equation. We then derived a complex trade-off relationship between the changes of expression and genetic diversity, which followed a combination of exponential functions. Furthermore, we found the increase in expression diversity could buffer the loss of adaptive potential as genetic diversity decreased to a certain extent. These theoretical deductions were validated by transcriptomic data of Miscanthus lutarioriparius grown in two experimental fields and supported by good fit and random simulation. These results suggest that increased expression diversity may compensate the loss of genetic diversity and allow the populations to maintain a certain level of phenotypic variation to cope with sudden environmental change. This may buffer the quick diminishing of adaptive potential and consequently increases the change of adaptation to the new environment.
