Wheat crops prioritize water loss during extreme future climate conditions, according to new research from the University of Sheffield. The study, led by Dr. Robert Caine and Dr. Holly Croft from the School of Biosciences at the University of Sheffield and published in New Phytologist, revealed wheat crops lose many of the key water-saving benefits usually associated with growth at higher atmospheric concentrations of carbon dioxide when plants were exposed to heat wave conditions.
