Dr. Campostrini E. is professor of Plant Physiology/Ecophysiology of Tropical and Subtropical Crops at Universidade Estadual do Norte Fluminense, Campos dos Goytacazes, RJ, Brazil. In recent years he has worked collaboration with EMBRAPA, INCAPER/ES, TKI/NovaSource (USA), Universidade Federal do Espírito Santo, Incaper/ES, Universidade de Almeria (Espanha), Universittà Cattolica del Sacro Cuore (Italia), Instituto de Investigacion y Formacion Agraria e Pesquera (IFAPA, Espanha), University of Lisbon (PlantStress Biodiversity Lab, Linking Landscape, Environment, Agriculture and Food Unit ), Instituto Canario de Investigaciones Agrarias (ICIA, Canarian Islands, Spain), Tropical Research and Education Center (University of Florida), and Columbia University (USA). He has currently authored or co-authored 142 publications in international refereed journal. Dr. Eliemar and colleagues has worked with Environmental Physiology of Tropical and Subtropical Crops, in special papaya, maize, coffee, pineapple, hops and grapevine plants. The basic propose is determinate the deeper understanding about the effects of the environmental factors (water, air temperature, light and mineral nutrients) on physiological process [gas-exchange (photosynthesis, respiration and transpiration), sap flow, photosynthetic pigments, photochemical efficiency] in papaya, coffee, hops, maize, pineapple and grapevine. Understanding the effects of environmental factors on physiological process is crucial to minimize the deleterious impact of supra and suboptimal environmental conditions and manage the crops to increase yield.Current Projects: Project 1: Processed-kaolin particle film suspension as a mitigator of UV, high leaf and fruit temperature and water stress in coffee plants; Project 2: Physiological traits in elite papaya genotypes: Dark and light respiration, photosynthesis, photochemical efficiency and water relations in Golden and Sunrise Solo papaya genotypes with different chlorophyll leaf concentration cultivated under different water regimes; Project 3: Responses of elite papaya genotypes to water stress: stomatal and non-stomatal limitations; Project 4: Hydraulic conductance: from single leaf to whole canopy. How hydraulic conductance can control gas exchange, photochemical efficiency and growth in elite clones of Coffea canephora under water stress; Project 5: Application of bioreactors for large-scale in pineapple and papaya: photoautotrophic and photomixotrophic microprogation; Project 6. Possible use of chlorophyll fluorescence, near infrared (NIR) and IR thermal imaging to assess gender in papaya plant; Project 7: Supra-optimal temperature in papaya plant: effects on photochemical efficiency, Project 8: Maize (popcorn) breending for water-limited environmentsMember of International Society for Horticultural Science (ISHS)http://orcid.org/0000-0002-1329-1084Scopus Author ID: 6506800658Loop profile: 356702Publons.com/a/1531343/https://www.linkedin.com/in/campostrini-e-542335209Review Editor: https://www.frontiersin.org/journals/plant-science/sections/plant-physiology#editorial-board
