Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Adaptive plasticity may be crucial for plants to survive rapid environmental changes long enough for evolutionary adaptation to occur. Both heat and drought are abiotic stresses projected to increase globally, and their individual impact on plant growth and function has been well-characterized. Drought response, in particular, is categorized into three drought survival strategies: escape,...
