Extreme Polyploidy Reveals Functional Trade-Offs in Plant Drought Responses.
Under drought conditions, lower ploidies maintained functional canopies through reduced water loss, whereas 12× showed a less conservative water-use strategy and seasonal canopy loss, which provides new insights into how polyploidy can influence drought adaptation and survival strategies via anatomical and functional t...
