Accounting for the historical range can help explain trait variation in some cases.

Evaluating how limited transpiration at high evaporative demand affect grain yield across Australia using computer models.

Adaptation to extreme habitats starts in the seed.

Soybean is not commonly grown in Northern Europe, but can it be, and how?

The ability is most common in dry, open habitats, and most vigorous where disturbance is frequent.

Cavitation resistance appears to be genetic, making it useful as a predictor of drought resistance.

A new study unravels why maize has higher yields and sorghum is more drought tolerant using a cropping systems modeling platform.

In transplant experiments, closely-related sexual and asexual species both showed evidence of local adaptation.

How do photosynthetic responses to fluctuating light vary across populations of crop plants and are these genetically controlled?

A new study uses drought patterns, sowing date, and genotype phenology to reduce sorghum water stress during critical stages.

Seeds were found to vary from one accession to the next in their cold storage longevity.

A new model uncovers the possible mechanisms underlying the robustness of flat leaf production.
