Abstract Water deficit is a major worldwide constraint to common bean ( Phaseolus vulgaris L.) production, being photosynthesis one of the most affected physiological processes. To gain insights into genetic basis photosynthetic response under water-limited conditions, collection 158 Portuguese accessions was grown both well-watered and water-deficit regimes. Leaf gas-exchange parameters were measured pigments quantified. The same genotyped using SNP arrays, SNP-trait associations tested...
Cork oak woodlands (montado) are agroforestry systems distributed all over the Mediterranean basin with a very important social, economic and ecological value. A generalized cork decline has been occurring in last decades jeopardizing its future sustainability. It is unknown how loss of tree cover affects microbial processes that consuming greenhouse gas fluxes montado ecosystem. The study was conducted under two different conditions natural understory woodland center Portugal: canopy (UC)...
Participatory selection—exploiting specific adaptation traits to target environments—helps guarantees yield stability in a changing climate, particular under low-input or organic production. The purpose of the present study was identify reliable, low-cost, fast and easy-to-use tools complement traditional selection for an effective participatory improvement maize populations drought resistance/tolerance. morphological eco-physiological responses progressive water deprivation four...
