Source: Phys.org · Published
A brief period of heat and drought early in a corn plant's life can affect its growth and flowering months after the stress ends, according to new research from the Donald Danforth Plant Science Center and the University of Minnesota. The findings could help guide efforts to develop crops better equipped to withstand hot, dry growing conditions.
