Background and Aims There is evidence that some species can withstand a stress event better when experienced previously. This capacity could help to increase tolerance resilience under recurrent stresses. To test the effect of previous season drought imprint on subsequent event, we compared growth physiological performance young cv. Cabernet Sauvignon grapevines growing in semi-arid zone Chile. Methods Results Treatments were single (SD; stressed during second season) double (DD; first...
Since drought is the leading environmental factor limiting crop productivity, and plants have a significant impact in defining assembly of plant-specific microbial communities associated with roots, we aimed to determine effect thoroughly selected water deficit tolerant susceptible Solanum lycopersicum cultivars on their rhizosphere microbiome compared response plant-free soil communities. We identified total 4,248 bacterial 276 fungal different operational taxonomic units (OTUs) soils by...
