How does shading mitigates the water deficit in young L. plants?

Information on tolerance to isolated or combined abiotic stresses is still scarce for tree species, although such stresses are normal in nature. The interactive effect of light availability and water stress has been reported for some native tree species in Brazil but has not been widely investigated. To test the hypothesis that shading can mitigate the stressful effect of water deficit on the photosynthetic and antioxidant metabolism and on the growth of young L.

Assessing common bean genotypes for resistance to (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae).

(Germar) (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) is a major pest of common bean ( L.; Fabales: Fabaceae), and adults can defoliate plants during the whole crop cycle. This study was conducted to evaluate the resistance to in 16 common bean genotypes (14 landraces and 2 cultivars), through three different experiments.
