Transcriptional memory contributes to drought tolerance in coffee (Coffea canep...
DaMatta, Fábio Murilo; Nobres, Priscilla; Ferreira, Daniela Cristina Rodrigues; Menezes-Silva, Paulo Eduardo; Ribeiro-Alves, MarceloWater deprivation is an important limiting factor in the productivity of crops like coffee. In addition to transcription factors (TFs) and small non-coding RNAs, transcriptional memory seems to act in gene expression modulation during plant drought response. Here, a RNA-Seq approach was used to investigate the drought responses of Coffea canephora clones 109 and 120, which are respectively sensitive and toleran...
Photosynthetic and metabolic acclimation to repeated drought events play key ro...
Menezes-Silva, Paulo E.; Sanglard, Lilian M. V. P.; Ávila, Rodrigo T.; Morais, Leandro E.; Martins, Samuel C. V.; Nobres, Priscilla; Patreze, Camila M.Over the last decades, most information on the mechanisms underlying tolerance to drought has been gained by considering this stress as a single event that happens just once in the life of a plant, in contrast to what occurs under natural conditions where recurrent drought episodes are the rule. Here we explored mechanisms of drought toler- ance in coffee (Coffea canephora) plants from a broader perspective, in...
