Water Deficit Modulates the Relationship between Temperature and Unsaturated Fatty Acid Profile in Soybean Seed Oil
(Crop Science Society of America, 2017-08-23)Soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.], a major source of vegetable oil worldwide, contains unsaturated fatty acids (UFA) beneficial for human health, leading to the use of soybean oil in nutraceuticals. The objective of this ... -
What can we learn from the ecophysiology of plants inhabiting extreme environments? From ‘sherplants’ to ‘shercrops’
(Oxford University Press, 2025-05-29)In the 19th century it was proposed that ecophysiology was best studied in regions with extreme climatic conditions. In the present perspective, we argue that perhaps this is more timely than ever. The main reason is the ... -
Why are Chloris gayana leaves shorter in salt-affected plants? Analyses in the elongation zone
(Society for Experimental Biology, 2006-11)Reduced hydraulic conductance calculated from growth data was suggested to be the main reason for reduced leaf expansion in salt-stressed Chloris gayana (Rhodes grass). In this work, xylem vessel cross-sections and wall ... -
