F. Marcos, N. Silveira, P. Marchiori, E. Machado, G. Souza, M. Landell, R. Ribeiro
This study shows that sugarcane plants from mothers previously exposed to water deficit recover faster and perform better under drought conditions due to physiological and biochemical changes associated with stress memory.
