Titanium dioxide nanoparticles (TiO(2)NPs) generally have positive effects on growth and physiological parameters in plants, but their impacts on photosynthesis and antioxidant system are poorly understood. This work aimed to assess the effects of TiO(2)NPs on photosynthetic performance and antio...
Stomatal closure is a common adaptation response of plants to the onset of drought condition and its regulation is controlled by transcription factors. MYB60, a transcription factor involved in the regulation of light-induced stomatal opening, has been characterized in arabidopsis and grapevine. ...

Aluminum (Al) is an important factor that limits plant growth under acidic soil conditions. However, several plant species developed distinct mechanisms that limit the damage caused by high Al concentrations. In highbush blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum), the Al resistance mechanisms are not fully...
Water-use efficiency (WUE) is a quantitative measurement of biomass produced per volume of water transpired by a plant. WUE is an important physiological trait for drought response to mitigate the water deficiency. In this work, a cisgenic construction from Citrus sinensis was developed and its f...

Citrus are a globally important fruit crop. Abiotic stressors such as drought and salinity adversely affect physiological citrus performance and survival. With the aim of improving drought tolerance in citrus plants, we constructed transgenic lines of Citrus lemon overexpressing the Arabidopsis t...
