“…Data obtained from this project was used to support studies of biotic (Barsalobres-Cavallari et al, 2006) and abiotic stresses (Kurama et al, 2002;Nogueira et al, 2003), as well as other researches with sugarcane (Camargo et al, 2007;Papini-Terzi et al, 2005;Rocha et al, 2007;Rosa et al, 2005). To perform a collection of ESTs from Brazilian sugarcane cultivars expressed specifically under water deficit conditions, the data provided by www.intechopen.com Sucest project was also applied in a large scale gene expression study using sugarcane cultivars with different tolerance to drought (Rocha et al, 2007;Rodrigues et al, 2009Rodrigues et al, , 2011. After the advent of sequencing projects and the consequent establishment of databases, the use of some molecular techniques became a valuable tool in identifying genes involved in plant responses to stress.…”
