Early activation of antioxidant responses in Ni-stressed tomato cultivars deter...
Spormann, Sofia; Soares, Cristiano; Martins, Viviana; Azenha, Manuel; Gerós, H.; Fidalgo, FernandaThroughout their life cycle, plants are subjected to a variety of environmental constraints, including abiotic stresses. The present study aimed at characterizing the responses of the two tomato cultivars Gold Nugget (GN) and Purple Calabash (PC) exposed to a combination of nickel (Ni) and drought. The following hypotheses were pursued: (i) the activation of responses to one stressor eases further adjustments t...
Vineyard calcium sprays reduce the damage of postharvest grape berries by stimu...
Martins, Viviana; Soares, Cristiano; Spormann, Sofia; Fidalgo, Fernanda; Gerós, H.Calcium supplements have been increasingly used for decay prevention, sanitation and nutritional enrichment of fruits, as more environmentally friendly alternatives to fungicides. However, little is known on the effects of these supplements on grape berry biochemical and molecular properties during storage. In this study, we addressed the hypothesis that the application of calcium chloride (CaCl2) in grapevines...
