Drought is a major threat to coffee, compromising the quality and quantity of its production. We have analyzed the core proteome of 18 Coffea canephora cv. Conilon Clone 153 and C. arabica cv. Icatu plants and assessed their responses to moderate (MWD) and severe (SWD) water deficits. Label-free quantitative shotgun proteomics identified 3000 proteins in both genotypes, but less than 0.8% contributed to ca. 20%...
Growing water restrictions associated with climate changes constitute daunting challenges to crop performance. This study unveils the impacts of moderate (MWD) or severe (SWD) water deficit, and their interaction with air [CO2], on the photosynthetic apparatus of Coffea canephora Pierre ex A. Froehner cv. Conilon Clone 153 (CL153) and Coffea arabica L. cv. Icatu. Seven year-old potted plants grown under 380 (aC...
This study unveils the single and combined drought and heat impacts on the photosynthetic performance ofCoffea arabicacv. Icatu andC. canephoracv. Conilon Clone 153 (CL153). Well-watered (WW) potted plants were gradually submitted to severe water deficit (SWD) along 20 days under adequate temperature (25/20 degrees C, day/night), and thereafter exposed to a gradual temperature rise up to 42/30 degrees C, follow...

Electronic commerce through the Internet is a growing business, but there are still some problems to overcome so that every user can become a buyer. Safe transactions are the most discussed problem, but there are other problems that make shopping on the Internet difficult. When we built ACE (which stands for Agente de Compras Especializado) we aimed at solving one of those problems: finding the product or servi...
