Abstract
The process of plant growth and development is important to the successful adaptation of a species to its geographic and climatic environment. Adaptation of a species to the growing season of a region ensures the species’ reproductive success. In annual species, the seed must germinate, grow, flower, set seed and mature within the growing season or risk reproductive failure. The developmental process can also be important in improving a crop’s yield potential. The yield potential of a crop can be improved by tailoring the occurrence of important developmental phases to coincide with the occurrence of favourable ambient conditions.
