The off-switch is not the on-switch for rhizome development in tall fescue

When drought passes the signals to restart the development of rhizomes in Festuca arundinacea are on different regulatory pathways to the signals that turned it off at the start of the drought.

From computer to field: can in silico modelling can help us to optimise rice for possible droughts?

Advances in computational models may allow us to quickly predict responses of important food crops to environmental stresses in the field, and to identify the genetic basis of these.

Is age just a number if you’re a plant? How plant responses to the environment change with age

Trait sensitivity to the environment is most visible during earlier stages of development, after which intraspecific trait variation and relationships may stabilize.
