The early response of oil palm ( Jacq.) plants to water deprivation: Expression analysis of miRNAs and their putative target genes, and similarities with the response to salinity stress.

Oil palm ( Jacq.) is a oilseed crop of great economic importance drastically affected by abiotic stresses. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play crucial roles in transcription and post-transcription regulation of gene expression, being essential molecules in the response of plants to abiotic stress.

Insights from a Multi-Omics Integration (MOI) Study in Oil Palm ( Jacq.) Response to Abiotic Stresses: Part One-Salinity.

Oil palm ( Jacq.) is the number one source of consumed vegetable oil nowadays. It is cultivated in areas of tropical rainforest, where it meets its natural condition of high rainfall throughout the year.

Deep Untargeted Metabolomics Analysis to Further Characterize the Adaptation Response of (Jacq.) Walp. to Very High Salinity Stress.

The multipurpose tree (Jacq.) Walp. adapts to a very high level of salt stress (≥20 dS m) and resumes the production of new leaves around 2 weeks after losing all leaves due to abrupt salinity stress.

Integration of metabolomics and transcriptomics data to further characterize Gliricidia sepium (Jacq.) Kunth under high salinity stress.

Soil salinity is one abiotic stress that threatens agriculture in more than 100 countries. Gliricidia [Gliricidia sepium (Jacq.) Kunth] is a multipurpose tree known for its ability to adapt to a wide range of soils; however, its tolerance limits and responses to salt stress are not yet well understood.

A procedure for maize genotypes discrimination to drought by chlorophyll fluorescence imaging rapid light curves.

Background: Photosynthesis can be roughly separated into biochemical and photochemical processes. Both are affected by drought and can be assessed by non-invasive standard methods. Gas exchange, which mainly assesses the first process, has well-defined protocols.
