Response of forage grasses to severe drought

Droughts cause substantial reduction in biomass yields through negative impacts on plant growth in forage grasses, an effect that is compounded by heat stress during summer droughts. This project uses field phenotyping and modern genotyping technologies to improve our understanding of severe drought stress on forage grasses.
