Morphological and physiological responses of two coffee progenies to soil water availability.
Paulo César Dias,Wagner L. Araújo,Gustavo Adolfo Bevitori Kling de Moraes,Raimundo Santos Barros,Fábio M. DaMatta +4 more
TLDR
Overall, the major differences between these progenies were largely associated with differences in plant water use, which was likely related to the improved water status of Siriema.About:

Ecophysiology of coffee growth and production
TL;DR: This review is organized into sections dealing with climatic factors and environmental requirements, root and shootgrowth, blossoming synchronisation, fruiting and cup quality, competition between vegetative and productive growth and branch die-back, and photosynthesis and crop yield.
Journal ArticleDOI
Regulation of Transpiration to Improve Crop Water Use
TL;DR: The genetic determinants that regulate transpiration and WUE are discussed in the context of the modern agricultural goal of improving WUE while sustaining biomass and yield.

Effects of deficit irrigation and biochar addition on the growth, yield, and quality of tomato
Gamareldawla H.D. Agbna,Gamareldawla H.D. Agbna,She Dongli,Liu Zhipeng,Nazar A. Elshaikh,Shao Guangcheng,Luís Carlos Timm +6 more
TL;DR: A greenhouse experiment was conducted over two consecutive growing seasons to investigate the effects of biochar amendment (BA) in combination with deficit irrigation (DI) on tomato growth, physiology, yield, fruit quality, and irrigation water use efficiency as discussed by the authors.

Physiological and Agronomic Performance of the Coffee Crop in the Context of Climate Change and Global Warming: A Review.
Fábio M. DaMatta,Rodrigo T. Avila,Amanda A. Cardoso,Samuel C. V. Martins,José C. Ramalho,José C. Ramalho +5 more
TL;DR: Evidence is shown suggesting that warming may be less harmful to coffee suitability than previously estimated, at least under the conditions of an adequate water supply, and several mitigation strategies to improve crop performance in a changing world are discussed.

Could shading reduce the negative impacts of drought on coffee? A morphophysiological analysis.
Paulo Cezar Cavatte,Álvaro A. G. Oliveira,Leandro E. Morais,Samuel C. V. Martins,Lílian M. V. P. Sanglard,Fábio M. DaMatta +5 more
TL;DR: Overall, shading did not alleviate the negative impacts of drought on the coffee tree, and phenotypic plasticity was much higher in response to the light than to the water supply.

Water Relations of Plants and Soils
Paul J. Kramer,John S. Boyer +1 more
TL;DR: This book is a useful introduction for students, teachers, and investigators in both basic and applied plant science, including botanists, crop scientists, foresters, horticulturists, soil scientists, and even gardeners and farmers who desire a better understanding of how their plants grow.

The role of biomass allocation in the growth response of plants to different levels of light, CO2, nutrients and water: a quantitative review
Hendrik Poorter,Oscar Nagel +1 more
TL;DR: A meta-analysis of the literature, analysing the effect of various environmental variables on the fraction of total plant biomass allocated to leaves, stem and roots, suggested that only in the case of nutrients, biomass allocation is a major factor in the response of plants to limiting resource supply.

Impacts of drought and temperature stress on coffee physiology and production: a review
Fábio M. DaMatta,José C. Ramalho +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the impacts of low positive and high temperatures on coffee physiology are discussed; some insights about effects of negative temperatures are also presented; and finally, the last section deals with shading in harsh environments as a mean of buffering climatic fluctuations, as well as of increasing environmental sustainability in cof fee exploitation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Close association of RGR, leaf and root morphology, seed mass and shade tolerance in seedlings of nine boreal tree species grown in high and low light
TL;DR: It is suggested that SLA, SRL, NAR and RGR are closely associated with variation in life-history traits and that variation in leaf and root structure more strongly influences patterns of RGR among species and light environments than does biomass partitioning.
