Talitha Soares Pereira studies how plants manage water under drought stress, focusing on traits like xylem embolism (air blockages in water-transport tissue), stomatal control (leaf pores that regulate water loss), and hormone signaling in crops such as tomato, cowpea, kiwiberry, coffee, and Eucalyptus. The work combines plant physiology measurements (gas exchange, hydraulics) with genetics and breeding approaches to understand and improve drought resistance.
Publication output was sparse and irregular from 2017–2021 but has grown noticeably since 2022, with 2022–2025 showing the most consistent and highest annual output in the decade.
