Plant strategies for maximizing growth during water stress and subsequent recovery in Solanum melongena L. (eggplant).

Climate change is projected to increase the incidence of severe drought in many regions, potentially requiring selection for different traits in crop species to maintain productivity under water stress. In this study, we identified a suite of hydraulic traits associated with high productivity under...
