Phenotypic selection on leaf water use efficiency and related ecophysiological traits for natural populations of desert sunflowers.

Oecologia - 1 May 2007

Donovan Lisa A, Dudley Susan A, Rosenthal David M, Ludwig Fulco

Abstract excerpt

Plant water-use efficiency (WUE) is expected to affect plant fitness and thus be under natural selection in arid habitats. Although many natural population studies have assessed plant WUE, only a few related WUE to fitness. The further determination of whether selection on WUE is direct or indirect through functionally related traits has yielded no consistent results. For natural populations of two desert annual...
