The protein content of the cowpea has proved to be very variable, especially of the green grain. The aim of this study, therefore, was to obtain information on the influence of the environment and genetic variability on the total protein content (TPC) of green cowpea grain, as well as to evaluate the effects of production components on this variable. Sixteen cowpea genotypes were evaluated in two environments (...
Phanerogam species reserve nutrients in their seeds in order to sustain propagation. Their chemical composition and the way the metabolites are used vary, according to genotype, the environment and the interaction between these factors. As the jatropha is considered a strategic oilseed crop in biofuel production, the aim of this work was to quantify the major reserve components (starch, protein, soluble sugar a...
Rice (Oryza sativa L.) is among the most consumed cereals in the world. Its growth is severely affected by excessive salinity, leading to considerable negative economic impacts. Thus, BRS Esmeralda and Sao ˜ Francisco rice cultivars, presenting antagonist cultivation recommendations and differential salt tolerance, were selected to examine how salt stress influences ionic homeostasis and photosynthetic capacity...
Hydrogen peroxide priming has emerged as a powerful strategy to trigger multiple responses involved in plant acclimation that reinforce tolerance to abiotic stresses, including salt stress. Thus, this study aimed to investigate the impact of foliar H2O2 priming on the physiological, biochemical, and ultrastructural traits related to photosynthesis of salt-stressed plants. Besides, we provided comparative leaf m...
