Expression was measured by the ratio CaCc/CaCe where CaCc (RBCS1-Cc) and CaCe (RBCS1-Ce) values were obtained using the C18244 and E18244 primer pairs (Table 1), respectively. Relative quantifications (RQ) were normalised using the expression of the CcUBQ10 (in the case of C. canephora) or GAPDH (for other species) reference genes. The CaCc/CaCe ratio corresponded to (1+E)-ΔCt, where ΔCt = CtmeanCaCc - CtmeanCaCe with E as the efficiency of the gene amplification. Leaves were collected from plants grown in the field at the Embrapa Cerrados (E), IAPAR station (I) and UFV greenhouse (G). When known, the reaction to drought is indicated (T = Tolerant and S = Susceptible). All Sarchimors are derived from HT832/2.
