Ecophysiology of Pilocarpus microphyllus in response to temperature, water availability and vapour pressure deficit

Trees, 2020
The jaborandi is a natural source of alkaloids used in the treatment of important diseases and, therefore, relevant for the pharmaceutical industry. However, the lack of information on the jaborandi ecophysiological responses under different climatic conditions is the major limitation for its expansion in Brazil.
