Calcium Biofortification in Potato

Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) is an important global food crop, being greatly valued for its high carbohydrate content and nutritional profile. In response to the world population’s rapid growth and the increasing need for nutritionally enhanced food quality, potato biofortification has become a key focus of agronomic research. This study investigated the effect of calcium (Ca) biofortification on two potato cu...

Stomata Traits Diversity in Wild Accessions of Coffea racemosa and C. zanguebar...

Estimated climate change scenarios demand robust coffee cultivars tolerant to supra-optimal temperatures, water deficit, diseases, and other stresses. Wild Coffea species represent important genetic resources for resilience. The study of variations in morphological structures associated with transpiration control, such as stomata, represents an important approach for identifying genotypes with greater stress to...

Transcriptomic Analyses Reveal That Coffea arabica and Coffea canephora Have Mo...

Increasing exposure to unfavorable temperatures and water deficit imposes major con- straints on most crops worldwide. Despite several studies regarding coffee responses to abiotic stresses, transcriptome modulation due to simultaneous stresses remains poorly understood. This study unravels transcriptomic responses under the combined action of drought and temperature in leaves from the two most traded species: ...

Foliar Spraying with ZnSO4 or ZnO of Vitis vinifera cv. Syrah Increases the Syn...

Zinc enrichment of edible food products, through the soil and/or foliar application of fertilizers, is a strategy that can increase the contents of some nutrients, namely Zn. In this context, a workflow for agronomic enrichment with zinc was carried out on irrigated Vitis vinifera cv. Syrah, aiming to evaluate the mobilization of photoassimilates to the winegrapes and the consequences of this for winemaking. Du...

Increasing exposure to unfavorable temperatures and water deficit imposes major constraints on most crops worldwide. Despite several studies regarding coffee responses to abiotic stresses, transcriptome modulation due to simultaneous stresses remains poorly understood. This study unravels transcriptomic responses under the combined action of drought and temperature in leaves from the two most traded species: Co...

Overexpression of Water-Responsive Genes Promoted by Elevated CO2 Reduces ROS a...

Drought is a major constraint to plant growth and productivity worldwide and will aggravate as water availability becomes scarcer. Although elevated air [CO2] might mitigate some of these effects in plants, the mechanisms underlying the involved responses are poorly understood in woody economically important crops such as Coffea. This study analyzed transcriptome changes in Coffea canephora cv. CL153 and C. ara...

Genomic evaluation of Coffea arabica and its wild relative Coffea racemosa in M...

Climate change is negatively affecting the coffee value chain, with a direct effect on approximately 100 million people from 80 countries. This has been attributed to the high vulnerability of the two-mainstream species, Coffea arabica and Coffea canephora, to extreme weather events, with notable uneven increases in market prices. Taking into account the narrow genetic plasticity of the commercial coffee cultiv...

Impact of climate changes in the suitable areas for Coffea arabica L. productio...

Climate changes (CC) are a main global phenomenon, with a worldwide impact on natural and agricultural ecosystems. The objective of this study was to analyse the potential impact of future CC on the suitability of areas for rainfed coffee growth, both at the Mozambique national scale and in the Gorongosa Mountain, under Agroforestry (AFS) and Full Sun (FS) management systems. The latter study site is part of th...

Diversity in Coffea arabica cultivars in the mountains of Gorongosa National Pa...

Genetic characteristics and their interaction with environmental conditions, including nutritional management, determine coffee productivity and quality. The objective of this study was to evaluate fruit traits and nutrient accumulation in the fruit, husk, and bean, as well as in the leaves of different Coffea arabica cultivars cropped in the Gorongosa National Park, Mozambique. The experiment evaluated nine co...
