dc.description.abstractThe Plant: Diplotaxis tenuifolia (L.) DC (Yellow Wall-Rocket; fam. Brassicaceae) is a segetal species tolerant of hot and dry conditions. The Habitat: Derelict fields during the summer period, where shade temperatures often exceed 40°C and topsoil temperatures may exceed 45°C. The ‘Curious Case’: Lack of visible morphological/anatomical adaptations (succulence, pubescence, spines, waxy cuticles, life-cycle adaptations) typical of xerophytes. How and Why: How does it grow and reproduce in such stressful climatic conditions? Understanding the responses of this and similar species becomes particularly relevant in the context of predicted climatic warming.en_GB
