Abstract excerpt
Plant water relations are critical for determining the distribution, persistence, and fitness of plant species. Studying the genetic basis of ecologically relevant traits, however, can be complicated by their complex genetic, physiological, and developmental basis and their interaction with the environment. Water use efficiency (WUE), the ratio of photosynthetic carbon assimilation to stomatal conductance to...
