Physiological Plasticity Is Important for Maintaining Sugarcane Growth under Water Deficit

Physiological Plasticity Is Important for Maintaining Sugarcane Growth under Water Deficit

The water availability at early phenological stages is critical for crop establishment and sugarcane varieties show differential performance under drought. Herein, we evaluated the relative importance of morphological and physiological plasticity of young sugarcane plants grown under water deficit,...
