Salt stress change chlorophyll fluorescence in mango

Este trabalho teve como objetivo avaliar o efeito do estresse salino sobre a eficiência fotoquímica do fotossistema II (PSII) nas cultivares de manga 'Haden', 'Palmer', 'Tommy Atkins' e 'Ubá' enxertadas sobre o porta-enxerto 'Imbu'. Foi utilizada solução nutritiva de Hoagland modificada contendo 0; 15; 30e 45 mmol L-1 NaCl. Aos 97 dias após a exposição ao estresse salino, foram avaliados os parâmetros da fluorescência da clorofila (F0, Fm, Fv, F0/Fm, Fv/Fm, Fv'/Fm', ΦPSII = [(Fm'-Fs)/(Fm')], D = (1- Fv'/Fm') e ETR = (ΦPSII×PPF×0,84×0,5). Aos 100 dias, foram avaliados a emissão foliar, a área média de folhas (cm²), o índice de toxidez nas folhas e o índice de abscisão foliar. em todas as cultivares, em graus diferenciados, ocorreram decréscimo na eficiência fotoquímica do fotossistema II, na emissão de folhas, e aumento nos índices de toxidez e abscisão foliar, intensificados nas concentrações a partir de 15 mmol L-1 NaCl. As plantas cultivadas em 45 mmol L-1 NaCl apresentaram decréscimos na razão Fv/Fm de 27,9; 18,7; 20,5 e 27,4%, incremento no índice de toxidez foliar de 33,0; 67,5; 41,6 e 80,8% e no índice de abscisão foliar de 71,8; 29,2; 32,5 e 67,9% para as cultivares 'Haden', 'Palmer', 'Tommy Atkins' e 'Uba', respectivamente. Os decréscimos na razão Fv/Fm foram acompanhados de redução na emissão de folhas e aumento no índice de toxidez foliar, mostrando, portanto, o potencial da fluorescência da clorofila na detecção precoce de estresse salino em mangueira.

Tolerância de diferentes cultivares de cana-de-açúcar (Saccharum spp.) a herbicidas

This work aimed to evaluate the tolerance of sugarcane cultivars to sulfentrazone, imazapic, isoxaflutole, clomazone and ametryn + trifloxysulfuron-sodium. The experiment was arranged in a randomized block design in a split-plot scheme. The cultivars were allocated to the plots and the herbicides to the sub-plots (five 8.0 m long rows and 1.5 m spacing, with 4 repetitions. The herbicides sulfentrazone (0.8 kg ha(-1)), imazapic (0.147 kg ha(-1)), isoxaflutole (0.1125 kg ha(-1)), clomazone (1.1 kg ha(-1)), ametryn (1.463 kg ha(-1)) + trifloxysulfuron sodium (0.037 kg ha-1) and control were evaluated on 3-yr-old ratoons of the cultivars IACSP94-2094, IACSP94-2101, IACSP93-3046, IACSP94-4004, IAC86-2480 and RB72454 in post emergence. The traits evaluated were: plant toxicity symptoms in the plant leaves; total chlorophyll content and photochemical efficiency (Fv/Fm) at 15, 30 and 60 days after application (DAA); height (cm) at 30 and 270 DAA, and plant stand (stalk m(-1)) at 30 and 180 DAA. Diameter (cm), estimated productivity (t ha(-1)) and quality analysis were evaluated at 270 DAA. The sugarcane cultivars IACSP94-2094, IACSP93-3046, IACSP94-4004, IAC86-2480, RB72454, and IACSP94-2101 especially, were susceptible to clomazone up to 30 DAA, due to leaf chlorosis and lower chlorophyll content, but had no effect on quality characteristics and productivity. The cultivars were also tolerant to other herbicides.

Use of Physiological Parameters in Screening Drought Tolerance in Sugarcane Genotypes

The physiological response of four commercial sugarcane genotypes to water stress was evaluated by measuring the photochemical efficiency of the photosystem II (chlorophyll a fluorescence ratio, F v/F m), estimated chlorophyll content (SPAD unit), leaf temperature (LT) and leaf relative water content (RWC). A field trial was established in the subtropical area with well-watered and water-stressed genotypes, in completely randomized blocks with four replicates in a 4 × 2 × 3 factorial design (genotype × irrigation × evaluation date). Physiological measurements were done during a 90 day-period of formative stage of plants. The analysis of variance showed that the interaction of genotype × irrigation × evaluation date had a significant effect for three physiological markers tested, F v/F m, SPAD unit and RWC. Under non-stressed conditions, all genotypes showed similar responses for the four markers. Under water deficiency stress, two drought-tolerant genotypes, HOCP01-523 and TCP89-3505 displayed higher values for F v/F m, SPAD unit and RWC, and lower values for LT, and could be classified as tolerant. It is therefore possible to use these physiological water stress associated traits as scorable marker traits for selecting drought-tolerant sugarcane genotypes in future breeding programs. © 2011 Society for Sugar Research & Promotion.

Instantaneously measured traits may detect non-plastic ecophysiological performances in response to drought, explaining distributions of Styrax species in the Cerrado

We analyzed the differences between irrigated and non-irrigated plants of three congeneric Styrax species that present distinct distribution patterns in the physiognomies of the Cerrado vegetation in Brazil. Styrax ferrugineus showed a stomatal conductance (gs) unresponsive to soil water deficit in potted plants. This may explain the high gas exchange and photochemical efficiency found in this species, which is well adapted to the Cerrado sensu stricto (s. str.), a savanna-type vegetation. S. camporum, which is widely distributed in the Cerrado sensu lato (s. l.) areas, was the only species that exhibited increased intrinsic water use efficiency on the days of maximum water deficit. This result distinguishes S. camporum from S. pohlii, which is a forest species, since the gs of both species decreased during the days of maximum water stress. In contrast to other studies, we propose that instantaneously measured traits, such as leaf gas exchange rates and chlorophyll fluorescence, may be used to detect non-plastic performances in response to environmental stress, helping explain distinct geographical distributions of congeneric species in the Cerrado vegetation. © 2013 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.

Respostas fisiológicas de cultivares de cana-de-açúcar a herbicidas seletivos

The use of selective herbicides to control weeds has caused different responses in cultivars of sugar cane, and some products affect physiological characteristics and reduce the photosynthetic activity. This study aimed to evaluate the physiological traits in cultivars of sugar cane under the effect of applying post-emergence herbicides. The test was developed in Jau, SP. The experimental design was randomized blocks in factorial scheme 5 x 4 (cultivar x herbicide) with four replications. SP81-3250, RB855156, RB855453, RB867515, IACSP95-5000 were grown in this studied. Herbicides clomazone (1200 g i.a.ha-1); commercial mixture of clomazone + ametryn (1000 + 1500 g i.a.ha-1) and ametryn (3000 g i.a.ha-1) and a control were applied at 30 days after planting. Cultivars IACSP95-5000 and RB867515 were less affected physiologically and can be considered selective to these herbicides. The application of clomazone and ametryn affected negatively the traits maximum photochemical efficiency of photosystem II (Fv/Fm), SPAD index and photosynthetic pigments, but the mixture of these herbicides caused higher reductions, indicating to be the more aggressive to the cultivars.

Respostas fisiológicas de genótipos de Eucalyptus grandis x E. urophylla à disponibilidade hídrica e adubação potássica

Conduziu-se este trabalho, com o objetivo de estudar as respostas fisiológicas de cinco genótipos de eucalipto à disponibilidade hídrica e adubação potássica. As mudas foram plantadas em vasos preenchidos com sete litros de um Neossolo Quartzarênico, com baixo teor natural de potássio (0,2 mmol c.dm-3 K), e submetidas a dois regimes de irrigação (RI1 - diário e RI2 - irrigação suspensa até o aparecimento de sintomas iniciais de murcha), sem (K0) e com suprimento de potássio (K1 - 200 mg.dm-3 K2O), em casa de vegetação. Avaliou-se a taxa fotossintética (A), condutância estomática (gs), transpiração (E), índice de conteúdo de clorofila (ICC), conteúdo relativo de água (CRA), eficiência fotoquímica (Fv/Fm), eficiência intrínseca (EUAintr) e instantânea no uso da água (EUAinst) e potencial hídrico foliar (Ψf). O experimento foi estabelecido no delineamento de blocos ao acaso, em esquema fatorial 5 x 2 x 2 (5 genótipos, 2 regimes de irrigação e 2 níveis de adubação potássica), com cinco repetições. À exceção da eficiência fotoquímica, as demais características apresentaram alterações significativas no regime RI2, com redução nos valores de A, gs e E e aumento em ICC e EUAinst. O suprimento de potássio nas plantas do RI2 proporcionou maiores valores de A, gs, E e CRA. Dos genótipos avaliados, o G1 é o mais resistente e o G2 o mais sensível à deficiência hídrica. Conclui-se que a adubação potássica pode amenizar os efeitos negativos da deficiência hídrica nos estádios iniciais de crescimento de eucalipto.

Trocas gasosas e eficiência fotoquímica de cultivares de algodoeiro herbáceo sob aplicação de silício foliar

The objective of this study was to evaluate gas exchange and photochemical efficiency of cotton cultivars under leaf application of silicon. Therefore, the experiment was conducted in a completely randomized in a factorial 3 x 5, three cotton cultivars ('BRS Topazio', 'BRS Safira' and 'BRS Rubi'), five silicon concentrations (0, 50, 100, 150, 200 mg L-1) and four replications. Gas exchange and photochemical efficiency were determined by measuring the rate of CO2 assimilation, transpiration, stomatal conductance, internal CO2 concentration, instantaneous efficiency in water use, instantaneous carboxylation efficiency, initial fluorescence, maximum quantum efficiency of the variable and photosystem II (PSII). The data variables were subjected to analysis of variance and regression test comparison of means. There were significant differences in gas exchange and photochemical efficiency in response to concentrations of silicon. There were also significant differences among cotton cultivars evaluated. In cultivar 'BRS Top zio', the application of silicon increased CO2 assimilation rate and quantum efficiency of PSII. In 'BRS Safira' silicon reduced the rate of assimilation and internal CO2 concentration. In 'BRS Rubi' element increased the fluorescence of chlorophyll 'a' and quantum efficiency of photosystem II, and reduced the rate of assimilation and internal CO2 concentration and stomatal conductance. Silicate fertilization provided 'BRS Topazio' to express better photosynthetic rate in relation to 'BRS Safira' and 'BRS Rubi'. No damage occurred in PSII when 'BRS Top zio', 'BRS Safira' and 'BRS Rubi' cultivars received silicon as supplementary nutrition.
