Scientists at the University of Murcia used a new technique for detection and measurement of stress in plants within a research project with financial support from the Ministry of Science and Innovation.
This technique has the advantage over other more conventional, that does not cause the destruction of the leaf to be analyzed, allowing study the response of the same sheet to stress over time without compromising the integrity of the plant.
With this research project, conducted in the area of Plant Physiology at the University of Murcia, scientists set out to analyze the participation of a little known process that occurs in the chloroplasts called clororrespiración in acclimation and adaptation of photosynthesis heat, high light intensity and water deficit.
The study was conducted in various types of plants, both cultivated and wild, the latter adapted to their natural habitats such stress conditions.
This scientific work is carried out by the research group with Professor María José Quiles Ródenas as principal investigator and integrating Romualdo Muñoz Girón.
