Plasticity and evolution in drought avoidance and escape in the annual plant Brassica rapa.

Abstract excerpt

A key question in ecological genetics is to what extent do plants adapt to changes in climatic conditions, such as drought, through plasticity or evolution. To address this question, seeds of 140 maternal families of Brassica rapa were generated from collections made before (1997) and after (2004) a natural drought.
