Plants that do not produce abscisic acid and have a short, thick taproot would be least likely to meet the objective of having evolved structures with a selective advantage in dry, hot conditions. Abscisic acid helps plants to conserve water and regulate stomatal opening, and a short, thick taproot would not be efficient in absorbing water from deeper soil layers.
