The adaptive significance of drought escape in Avena barbata, an annual grass.

Evolution; international journal of organic evolution - 1 Dec 2006

Sherrard Mark E, Maherali Hafiz

Abstract excerpt

Drought strongly influences plant productivity, suggesting that water limitation has shaped the evolution of many plant physiological traits. One functional strategy that plants employ to cope with decreasing water availability is drought escape. For drought-escaping species, high metabolic activity (gas exchange) and rapid growth are hypothesized to confer a fitness advantage, because this enables a plant to...
