| Associated research grant: | 16/25498-0 - Phosphorus use efficiency in Eucalyptus and the physiological and genetic mechanisms involved, AP.TEM |

Abstract The aim of this proposal is to study the biochemical responses of eucalyptus species that differ in their efficiency in absorbing P from the soil, as well as how the low availability of this nutrient affects wood, the main product of this crop. For this purpose, analyzes will be carried out on plants with reciprocal grafts. These plants were selected based on experiment 1, which vary between responsiveness and efficiency in absorbing P. With this, we can understand the signaling process. In addition, some plants will be ringed, that is, the stem will be cut in such a way that the phloem will be removed. With this, the signaling between the aerial part and the roots will be interrupted. The analyzes to be performed are for gene expression and hormones. (AU) | |
