Sugarcane Responses at Water Deficit Conditions
Sugarcane (Saccharum spp.), a plant of the Poaceae family, is an important source of sucrose and ethanol in many tropical and sub-tropical countries. It was introduced in Brazil during the colonization period, and today represents one of the main cultures of the economy. Brazil is currently the world’s largest sugarcane producer. The 08/09 crop yielded approximately 569 millions of tons, totali...
متن کاملExpression Analysis of Sugarcane Aquaporin Genes under Water Deficit
The present work is a pioneer study specifically addressing the aquaporin transcripts in sugarcane transcriptomes. Representatives of the four aquaporin subfamilies (PIP, TIP, SIP, and NIP), already described for higher plants, were identified. Forty-two distinct aquaporin isoforms were expressed in four HT-SuperSAGE libraries from sugarcane roots of drought-tolerant and -sensitive genotypes, r...
متن کاملThe Influence of Water-Deficit Stress on Growth, Water Relations and Solute Accumulation in Wild Jujube(Ziziphus lotus)
Wild jujube, Ziziphus lotus, is a multipurpose xerophytic shrub of the Rhamnaceae family widely distributed in arid and semi-arid regions of Tunisia, where it occupies most soil types. The fruit is the edible part of the plant by local population. The reintroduction of this shrub requires the control of its multiplication in response to water shortage. This study aims to evaluate growth and wat...
متن کاملPhysiological Plasticity Is Important for Maintaining Sugarcane Growth under Water Deficit
The water availability at early phenological stages is critical for crop establishment and sugarcane varieties show differential performance under drought. Herein, we evaluated the relative importance of morphological and physiological plasticity of young sugarcane plants grown under water deficit, testing the hypothesis that high phenotypic plasticity is associated with drought tolerance. IACS...
متن کاملPeach Water Relations, Gas Exchange, Growth and Shoot Mortality under Water Deficit in Semi-Arid Weather Conditions
In this study the sensitivity of peach tree (Prunus persica L.) to three water stress levels from mid-pit hardening until harvest was assessed. Seasonal patterns of shoot and fruit growth, gas exchange (leaf photosynthesis, stomatal conductance and transpiration) as well as carbon (C) storage/mobilization were evaluated in relation to plant water status. A simple C balance model was also develo...
