• Abstract

  The practice of grafting affects the plant susceptibility to water deficit since rootstock and scion exhibit different resistance to drought. In xylem vessels, the tension generated by transpiration may cause embolism formation, which reduces the ability of plants to carry water. The vulnerability of branches to embolism varies throughout the growing season of plants as well as after a dr…

• Abstract

  The use of rootstocks with tolerance to drought is an effective strategy to reduce the impact of water shortage on citriculture. The Rangpur lime rootstock is able to change the scion sensitivity to water deficit, maintaining the overall carbohydrate availability and root growth under unfavorable conditions. These responses induced by the Rangpur lime rootstock suggest its ability in coor…

• Abstract

  Our purpose is to understand some aspects of sucrose yield by addressing physiological, morphological and anatomical traits. This strategy will increase the subjacent knowledge about sucrose yield and let us to a more complex scenario about this important agricultural theme. In fact, improvement in the understanding of ecophysiological aspects related to phytomass production and sucrose y…

• Abstract

  The mathematical models of plant growth (MCP) allow simulate crop productivity under field conditions, as well as the effects of expected climate changes for next decades on agricultural productivity. The MCP is a strategic tool for public and private sector decision makers, assisting in the development of public policies and target investments. Given the importance of sugarcane for our c…

• Abstract

  ABSTRACTThe sugarcane crop in Brazil, remains in the field throughout the year and is therefore subject to wide variation of the environment in different seasons. During the winter in some sugarcane producing regions, it is common the simultaneous occurrence of low temperature and water deficit, affecting plant physiological processes. In order to survive the adverse conditions, plants ac…
