3. Growth adaptations to high temperature
While extremely high temperature (e.g. heat-shock above 40°C) can be detrimental (Camejo et al., 2006; Vara Prasad, Boote, Hartwell Allen Jr, & Thomas, 2003; Yang, Sears, Gill, & Paulsen, 2002), a milder increase in temperature can impact growth in two ways. First, warm temperature can increase the rate of growth of a given organ and proportionally decrease its growth duration without impacting the final plant body (Heschel et al., 2007; Parent & Tardieu, 2012). Second, warm temperature can accelerate growth impacting the plant body to improve evaporative cooling, increasing convection and directly avoiding heat flux from the sun (Havko et al., 2020; Rosado et al., 2019).
