Background: One interesting thing that has been found in plants that are consistently exposed to drought, is their ability to form a sort of "memory". In a study by Tombesi et al., they found plants who had previously been exposed to drought were able to come up with a sort of strategy to minimize water loss and decrease water use. They found that plants who were exposed to drought conditions actually changed they way the regulated their stomates and what they called "hydraulic safety margin" so as to decrease the venerability of the plant. By changing the regulation of stomata and subsequently the transpiration, plants were able to function better in situations where the availability of water decreased.

Situation: Andi has recently moved to a new home near her mom and is planting a vegetable garden. She has 2 zucchini plants: Zucchini M was transplanted from her mom's house and Zucchini F was transplanted from her friend's house.  Andi and her mom live in a very dry area and Zucchini M had been exposed to very dry conditions with little water. Andi's friend lives in a lush, moist region where the plant had always received plenty of water.

Question: Which zucchini plant will be better at minimizing water loss when exposed to drought conditions?
