Item Impacts of drought and temperature stress on coffee physiology and production: a review(Brazilian Journal of Plant Physiology, 2006-06) DaMatta, Fábio M.; Ramalho, José D. CochichoOverall, drought and unfavourable temperatures are the major climatic limitations for coffee production. These limitations are expected to become increasingly important in several coffee growing regions due to the recognized changes in global climate, and also because coffee cultivation has spread towards marginal lands, where water shortage and unfavourable temperatures constitute major constraints to coffee yield. In this review, we examine the impacts of such limitations on the physiology, and consequently on the production of mainly Coffea arabica and C. canephora, which account for about 99 % of the world coffee bean production. The first section deals with climatic factors and the coffee plant’s requirements. The importance of controlling oxidative stress for the expression of drought and cold tolerance abilities is emphasized in the second section. In the third section, we examine the impacts of drought on cell-water relations, stomatal behaviour and water use, photosynthesis and crop yield, carbon and nitrogen metabolism, root growth and characteristics, and on drought tolerance. In the fourth section, the impacts of low positive and high temperatures on coffee physiology are discussed; some insights about effects of negative temperatures are also presented. 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 coffee exploitation.Item Aspects of nitrogen metabolism in coffee plants(Brazilian Journal of Plant Physiology, 2006-06) Carelli, Maria Luiza Carvalho; Fahl, Joel Irineu; Ramalho, José D. CochichoCoffee plants are highly N-demanding plants. Despite the importance of N nutrition for the development, acclimation and yield of coffee plants, there are few reports concerning N metabolism in this species. In this review, our intention is to summarize the information available in the literature and to point out the influence of environmental conditions on N assimilation, as well as comment and discuss some apparently contradictory results and raise and enlighten queries about N assimilation in coffee plants.Item Partitioning of nitrate reductase activity in Coffea arabica L. and its relation to carbon assimilation under different irradiance regimes(Brazilian Journal of Plant Physiology, 2007-03-26) Carelli, Maria Luiza C.; Fahl, Joel I.The distribution of in vivo nitrate reductase (EC 1.6.6.1) activity (NRA) between leaves and roots was studied in young coffee plants (Coffea arabica L.) grown in pots with watered sand in a glasshouse and irrigated with nutrient solution. The influence of irradiance regimes on the partitioning of NRA, and its relation with CO2 assimilation, was also evaluated in plants grown under approximately 20, 50 and 100% of full sunlight. Time-course of nitrate accumulation in nitrogen-starved plants showed a similar pattern in leaves and roots after supplying 15 mmol L-1 nitrate, indicating efficient ability of the roots to export nitrate to the shoot. At the same time, NRA was rapidly induced in both tissues. In shoots, NRA partitioning was synchronized among the various leaf pairs. The initial increase in NRA, as each leaf pair emerged, coincided with the optimum NRA values of the next older leaf pair. However, the average shoot NRA remained relatively constant for each sampling date. During the first 23 weeks of vegetative growth, the mean NRA was 32% higher in leaves than in roots. The irradiance regimes influenced the partitioning of NRA between leaves and roots. The NRA leaf /root ratio was 0.72, 1.21 and 1.05, respectively, for plants grown under 20%, 50% and 100% of full sunlight. Leaf NRA was positively correlated with CO2 assimilation, in response to irradiance regimes. Under favorable CO2 assimilation conditions, higher NRA was observed in leaves than in roots, and the contrary trend occurred under limiting CO2 assimilation conditions. Under moderate irradiance regime the leaves were the main site of nitrate reduction, contributing with 70% of the whole plant nitrate assimilation.Item Ecophysiology of coffee growth and production(Brazilian Journal of Plant Physiology, 2007-12) DaMatta, Fábio M.; Ronchi, Cláudio P.; Maestri, Moacyr; Barros, Raimundo S.After oil, coffee is the most valuable traded commodity worldwide. In this review we highlighted some aspects of coffee growth and development in addition to focusing our attention on recent advances on the (eco)physiology of production in both Coffea arabica and C. canephora, which together account for 99% of the world coffee bean production. This review is organized into sections dealing with (i) climatic factors and environmental requirements, (ii) root and shoot growth, (iii) blossoming synchronisation, fruiting and cup quality, (iv) competition between vegetative and reproductive growth and branch die-back, (v) photosynthesis and crop yield, (vi) physiological components of crop yield, (vii) shading and agroforestry systems, and (viii) high-density plantings.Item Respuesta fotosintética de Coffea arabica L. a diferentes niveles de luz y disponibilidad hídrica(Universidad Nacional de Colombia, 2014) Mariño, Yesid AlejandroEl sombrío permite una mejor aclimatación del café (Coffea arabica L.) en zonas donde el invierno se caracteriza por bajas temperaturas nocturnas seguido de días soleados y el verano, por altas tempera turas y lluvias ocasionales. En este estudio, realizado en Viçosa-MG, Brasil, se analizaron los efectos de dos condiciones de luminosidad (pleno sol y 15% de la radiación solar) y disponibilidades de agua en el suelo sobre las relaciones hídricas y el desempeño fotosintético en C. arabica en dos épocas con trastantes. Independientemente de la época de evaluación, las plantas cultivadas en condiciones de baja disponibilidad hídrica presentaron reducciones en la fotosíntesis (A), conductancia estomática (gs) y en la razón Ci/Ca en los dos tratamientos lumínicos. Estos cambios fueron acompañados con la reducción en la conductancia hidráulica y la transpiración. No se presentaron diferencias significativas en la producción cuántica efectiva, en el coeficiente de extinción no-fotoquímica y en la productividad cuántica basal de los procesos no fotoquímicos. Sobre la disponibilidad hídrica adecuada, las plantas cultivadas al sol presentaron reducciones en A, gs y Ci/Ca en la época de invierno. Adicionalmente, se encontraron limitaciones fotoquímicas con la reducción en la razón de las fluorescencias variable e inicial. Los resultados indican que cualquier recomendación de uso de sombrío como práctica de manejo debe ser tomada con precaución.Item Implications of the cut type and apex length of stem cuttings used for the production of plantlets of Conilon coffee(Editora UFLA, 2020) Verdin Filho, Abraão Carlos; Freitas, Silvio de Jesus; Comério, Marcone; Volpi, Paulo Sérgio; Colodetti, Tafarel Victor; Rodrigues, Wagner Nunes; Fonseca, Aymbiré Francisco Almeida da; Posse, Sheila Cristina Pruculi; Fontes, Alexandre Gomes; Christo, Bruno Fardim; Vieira, Luciano Junior DiasProducing plantlets of Conilon coffee within the specific recommendations and with a high level of quality is fundamental since it is capable of promoting the initial development of the crops. To identify the best protocol to prepare the stem cuttings is fundamental to the process of plantlet production of the species. In this context, this study aimed to evaluate the implications of the type of apex cutting and the length of the remaining apex of stem cuttings to produce plantlets of Conilon coffee (Coffea canephora). To this end, two trials were conducted in the Marilândia Experimental Farm (Instituto Capixaba de Pesquisa, Assistência Técnica e Extensão Rural, Marilândia-ES). The first trial evaluated the types of apex cutting (straight or bevel cut), and the second trial studied the different lengths of the remaining apex (0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, and 2.5 cm). Characteristics of the vegetative growth and photosynthetic traits of the plantlets of Conilon coffee were evaluated after 120 days of cultivation in a nursery. The biomass accumulation of the plantlets of Conilon coffee produced by stem cutting may be favored by the use of bevel cut on the apex. The length of the remaining apex does not seem to have a expressive effect over the quality or growth of the plantlets, being only possible to observe effects for leaf area and biomass accumulation.Item Physiological responses of Coffea arabica cultivars in association with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi(Editora UFLA, 2020) Cruz, Rafaele de Sousa; Araújo, Fausto Henrique Vieira; França, André Cabral; Sardinha, Levy Tadin; Machado, Caroline Maira MirandaThe inoculation of coffee plants with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) may influence some of its physiological parameters, promoting benefits in the growth of newly planted coffee. The objective of this work was to evaluate the physiological responses of different cultivars of Coffea arabica inoculated with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi. The experiment was conducted in a vegetation house in Diamantina, state Minas Gerais. The design was in randomized blocks, in a 3 x 4 factorial scheme, with four replications. The factors were composed of coffee seedlings of Rubi (MG 1192), Mundo Novo (IAC 379-19) and Catuaí Vermelho (IAC 144) cultivars, inoculated or not with FMA Rhizophagus clarus, Acaulospora colombiana and Mix composed by R. clarus and A. colombiana. At 150 days after transplantation, physiological characteristics such as photosynthetic rate, internal carbon concentration, stomatal conductance, transpiration rate, water use efficiency, internal carbon / atmospheric carbon ratio and percentage of mycorrhizal colonization were evaluated. AMF inoculation affected positively the physiology of coffee plants, increasing photosynthetic rate (A), stomatal conductance (Gs), transpiration, carbon consumed (ΔCO2), water use efficiency (EUA) and percentage of mycorrhizal colonization (%), as well as reducing the internal carbon concentration (Ci) for all combinations of AMF cultivars and species. The cultivar Rubi, when inoculated with R. clarus or Mix, obtained a higher percentage of colonization. The physiological activity of coffee plants is altered by symbiotic association, and their responses varied between AMF species and cultivars.
