Question

Impacts of drought and/or heat stress on physiological, developmental, growth, and yield processes of crop plants. In response of crops to limited water: understanding and modeling water stress effects on plant growth processes;

Answer 1

Plants are usually sensitive to heat stress drought. Heat stress affects both cell division and growth. It lowers division. Heat stress or drought also increases respiration and affects photosynthesis. Mild drought on the other hand favors root growth rather than shoot growth and also has an impact in partitioning of both nitrogen and carbohdrates
