Early Flowering as a Drought Escape Mechanism in Plants: How Can It Aid Wheat Production?

Early Flowering as a Drought Escape Mechanism in Plants: How Can It Aid Wheat Production?

Drought escape (DE) is a classical adaptive mechanism which involves rapid plant development to enable the completion of the full life-cycle prior to a coming drought event. This strategy is widely used in populations of native plants, and is also applicable to cereal crops such as wheat. Early flow...
