El objetivo fue conocer el comportamiento de Hevea brasiliensis a partir del desempeño fotosintético en las regiones caucheras de Nordeste y Bajo Cauca de Antioquia (Colombia) como base para futuros estudios de desempeño clonal entre ambientes. Se cuantificó el intercambio de gases mediante un analizador infrarrojo de gases portátil; para las variables fotosintéticas se calculó un valor medio para los siete clones, a partir del cual se estimó el área bajo la curva. El máximo valor de fotosíntesis se alcanzó a las 8 horas en San Roque (10,97 µmol [CO2] m-2s-1) y 9 horas en Caucasia (7,84 µmol [CO2] m-2s-1). La transpiración máxima fue 3,55 mmol [H2O] m-2s-1 en el municipio de San Roque y 5,16 mmol [H2O] m-2s-1 en Caucasia, mientras que la conductancia estomática máxima fue 0,18 mol [CO2] m-2s-1 y 0,16 mol [CO2] m-2s-1 respectivamente para cada localidad. Las plantas de caucho en Caucasia presentaron mayor tasa de asimilación neta acumulada 271.934 µmol [CO2] m-2día-1, superando los 226.287 µmol [CO2] m-2día-1 en San Roque y, representado en una diferencia de 45.647,52 [CO2] µmol m-2día-1. La mayor acumulación de carbono con menor inversión de energía lumínica (697.638 µmol [CO2] µmol fotón-1día-1) se obtuvo en San Roque. Hevea brasiliensis presentó una mayor adaptación ambiental con respecto al intercambio gaseoso y el uso de la energía lumínica en San Roque.
The knowledge of the defoliation-refoliation process in rubber cultivation allows the development of management strategies in the production system to improve rubber yield. The objective of this study was to determine the intensity and duration of defoliation-refoliation of rubber clones FX 3864, IAN 710 and IAN 873 in the municipality of Tarazá and the FX 3864 and IAN 873 clones in the municipality of Nechí (northwestern Colombia). From October 2015 to June 2016, the measurements of the necromass were carried out in each location for each clone. The light environment was quantified, employing the hemispheric photographs technique to estimate canopy openness percentage (CO) and leaf area index. The assessed weeks were grouped by Principal Component Analysis (PCA) based on the original phenology and climatic variables. The defoliation-refoliation process was analyzed descriptively using graphical representations of the trend for the phenological variables that best described this process. The relationship between climatic and phenological variables in the period evaluated was evidenced; the rainfall was the most critical climatic characteristic in the induction of the defoliation process. The leaf area index was reduced to a minimum value in February, with values of 0.52 for IAN 710 clone in Tarazá, and 0.64 for the IAN 873 clone in Nechí, which corresponded to the highest defoliation stage in both locations. The refoliation period was short (4 to 6 weeks) and occurred during the dry season for all the clones in both places.
The aim of this study was to determine the behavior of the rubber plant Hevea brasiliensis regarding its photosynthetic performance in the rubber producer regions in Nordeste and Bajo Cauca, in the department of Antioquia, Colombia, as a baseline for future clonal performance studies among environments. Gas exchange was recorded using a portable infrared gas analyzer, and for the photosynthetic parameters for seven genotypes (clones) a medium value was calculated and was later used to estimate the area under the curve. The maximum photosynthetic value was reached at 8:00 hours in San Roque (10.97 µmol [CO2] m-2s-1) and at 9:00 hours in Caucasia (7.84 µmol [CO2] m-2s-1). Maximum transpiration was 3.55 mmol [H2O] m-2s-1 in San Roque and 5.16 mmol [H2O] m-2s-1 in Caucasia, while the maximum stomatal conductance was 0.18 mol [CO2] m-2s-1 and 0.16 mol [CO2] m-2s-1 in San Roque and Caucasia, respectively. The rubber plants in Caucasia had a higher accumulated net assimilation rate (271,934 µmol [CO2] m-2day-1) than what was found in San Roque (226,287 µmol [CO2] m-2day-1), showing a difference of 45.647,52 µmol [CO2] m-2day-1. The highest carbon accumulation with the lowest light energy investment (697,638 µmol [CO2] µmol [photon]-1day1) was found in San Roque. Therefore, regarding gas exchange and the use of light energy Hevea brasiliensis showed greater environmental adaptation in San Roque.

Artículo de investigación RESUMENEn esta investigación se evaluó la asimetría foliar (ASF) en individuos de Gmelina arbórea Roxb., establecidos en sistemas agroforestales (SAF), en áreas de bosque seco tropical, en el municipio de Santafé de Antioquia. Estos individuos crecen bajo diferentes condiciones hídricas del suelo. La ASF se correlacionó con nuevos parámetros de tipo morfométrico como el ángulo de inserción del peciolo en la lámina foliar (AIP) en individuos maduros y la razón entre el número de dientes del borde de la lámina (RDF) en las hojas de individuos juveniles, propuestos como nuevos indicadores del estado temprano de estrés en la especie. Los modelos generados presentaron valores de R 2 superiores al 75 %, lo que soporta su utilización como indicadores tempranos del estrés hídrico en G. arborea. Adicionalmente, se evaluó la diversidad foliar entre los dos tipos de hojas (HM y HJ), con variables morfométricas convencionales, tales como la longitud de la nervadura principal (L), perímetro de la hoja (P), área foliar específica (AFE) y materia seca (DW), puesto que son caracteres relacionados con la forma y funcionalidad foliar. De lo anterior se dedujo que existen marcadas diferencias en forma y comportamiento entre los dos tipos de hojas. Los resultados de este trabajo permitirán la optimización de estrategias de manejo de G. arborea en el SAF, gracias a la identificación temprana de la presencia de este tipo de estrés. Esto permitiría mantener permanentemente el dosel de los árboles y así mejorar el ambiente de productividad de los cultivos agrícolas asociados. ABSTRACTLeaf asymmetry was assessed in individuals of Gmelina arborea Roxb. growing under different soil water conditions in a dry forest agroforestry system (AFS), in Santafé de Antioquia. Leaf asymmetry was correlated with additional morphometric parameters, such as angle of insertion of the petiole in the leaf in mature individuals and the ratio of the number of teeth on the edge of the blade in juvenile leaves to propose new indicators of early stage stress. The models generated had R 2 values of above 75 %, which support their use in identifying developmental instability as an early indicator of water stress. Similarly, leaf diversity was assessed between the two phenotypes of leaves (ML and JL), with conventional morphometric variables (length of the midrib, leaf perimeter, specific leaf area and dry matter), because they are characters related to leaf form and function.
