Towards a sustainable fruit production: deciphering the effect of rootstock x scion interaction on the adaptability of stone fruit trees (Prunus spp.) to climate change”

El objetivo general es estudiar los efectos de nuevos portainjertos híbridos de Prunus creados por CEAF sobre los mecanismos moleculares, fisiológicos y reproductivos que actúan a nivel de raíces, brotes y la interacción entre portainjerto y variedad en árboles frutales de carozo sometidos a déficit hídrico y estrés por calor.

Integration of lipidomics and transcriptomics provides new insights into lipid metabolism in response to water deficit in Prunus spp. rootstock leaves

Abstract The mechanisms underlying the role of lipids in the response to water deficit in Prunus species have not yet been elucidated. To investigate these, a drought-tolerant rootstock (R40) and a drought-sensitive rootstock (R20) were exposed to well-watered (WW) and water deficit (WD) conditions. We combined physiological, lipidomics, and transcriptomics analyses to elucidate lipid dynamics in rootstock leaves and roots when coping drought. Data […]
