Hydraulic conductivity and photosynthetic capacity of seedlings of genotypes.

The aim was to investigate the morphological, photosynthetic, and hydraulic physiological characteristics of different genotypes of under controlled cultivation conditions. Growth, conductance, and hydraulic conductivity of the root system of 16 genotypes were evaluated in Experiment 1 (November 2013). In Experiment 2 (December 2014), in addition to the previous characteristics, gas exchange, photochemical efficiency, leaf water potential, and leaf hydraulic conductivity were investigated in five genotypes.

Seasonal Morphological and Biochemical Variation of Pierre ex A. Froehner (Rubiaceae) Leaves of Early, Intermediate and Late Maturing Genotypes.

Understanding the growth patterns of genotypes optimizes their selection and management. The objective of this study is to investigate the seasonal variations in the morphology and biochemistry of clone leaves, considering climatic conditions and the maturation cycle. Morphological characteristics and carbohydrate contents of the leaves were analyzed throughout the growth cycle.

Morphophysiological responses of black pepper to recurrent water deficit.

This study investigated the effects of recurrent water deficit on drought tolerance traits in black pepper ( L.) 'Bragantina'. Plants were subjected to three cycles of water deficit followed by recovery periods.

Morphophysiological responses of L. rootstocks to flooding and post-flooding conditions.

This study investigates how cocoa rootstocks respond to flooding and post-flooding conditions, offering insights for cocoa plantation sustainability in flood-prone areas due to climate change. We studied L. rootstocks for 60 d of flooding and 30 d post-flooding, grafting PS-1319 scions onto five rootstocks (TSH-1188, Cepec-2002, Pará, Esfip-02, SJ-02).

Responses of wild species to drought and rehydration cycles considering stomatal closure as a marker of the alarm phase.

Studies that simulate recurrent drought events with subsequent episodes of rehydration better reflect natural conditions and allow visualization of differential acclimatization responses resulting from memory and tolerance mechanisms. and were grown in a greenhouse and were subjected to three successive cycles of drought and subsequent rehydration. After suspending irrigation, gas exchanges were measured daily with IRGA.

Evaluating the effect of grafting methods and rootstocks through the analysis of chlorophyll fluorescence.

This study evaluated the side-cleft grafting in native species of the genus ( L., Sw., and Jacq.
