Drought is the main abiotic stress constraining sugarcane production. However, our limited understanding of the molecular mechanisms involved in the drought stress responses of sugarcane impairs the development of new technologies to increase sugarcane drought tolerance. Here, an integrated approach was performed to reveal the molecular and physiological changes in two closely related sugarcane cultivars, inclu...
The most critical step in any proteomic study is protein extraction and sample preparation. Better solubilization increases the separation and resolution of gels, allowing identification of a higher number of proteins and more accurate quantitation of differences in gene expression. Despite the existence of published results for the optimization of proteomic analyses of soybean seeds, no comparable data are ava...
Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior; O estresse hídrico é um dos estresses de maior importância na produtividade das plantas. Objetivando fornecer evidências de possíveis mecanismos de tolerância à seca, no presente trabalho caracterizou-se a fisiologia e o metabolismo de folhas de plantas de cana de açúcar, de cultivares contrastantes para a tolerância à seca. Para tal, plantas das cult...
