I am an agronomist with a master's degree and a Ph.D. in Plant Physiology from the Federal University of Viçosa. I have worked extensively in research related to the ecophysiology of cultivated species, with a main focus on drought tolerance in crops such as eucalyptus, tomato, soybean, cowpea, and coffee. I am currently a research fellow in the Crops and Soils department at North Carolina State University, actively involved in projects related to drought tolerance in cotton, soybean, corn, and tomato crops.

Linking water-use strategies with drought resistance across herbaceous crops

PHYSIOLOGIA PLANTARUM, 176(1).

TL;DR: The most effective traits ensuring survival in herbaceous crops under severe drought were those related to drought avoidance mechanisms such as early stomatal closure, very low residual transpiration post‐stomatal closure, and high capacitance pre‐ and post‐turgor loss.

Abscisic acid acts essentially on stomata, not on the xylem, to improve drought resistance in tomato

Haverroth, E. J., Oliveira, L. A., Andrade, M. T., Taggart, M., McAdam, S. A. M., Zsogon, A., … Cardoso, A. A. (2023, August 1). PLANT CELL AND ENVIRONMENT, Vol. 8.

author keywords: embolism resistance; hydraulic vulnerability; minimum leaf conductance; Solanum lycopersicum; water deficit; water loss
TL;DR: Lower water loss in plants with higher ABA meant that lethal water potentials associated with embolism occurred later during drought in sp12 plants, followed by WT, and then by the ABA-deficient mutants. (via Semantic Scholar)

Woody species grown under sun and shade present similar stomatal speed

author keywords: Irradiance; Leaf gas exchange; Light acclimation; Shade leaves; Stomatal dimensions; Stomatal speed; Sun leaves
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that intense shading conditions promote high levels of plasticity in the woody species of Podocarpus macrophyllus, Eucalyptus urophylla, and Capsicum chinense, and that stomatal speed is most likely under a stronger genetic regulation than other leaf and stomatal anatomical traits.
