Gas exchanges and photochemical efficiency of hydroponic bell pepper under salinity and plant density

Abstract: Gas exchanges and chlorophyll a fluorescence are ways to physiologically analyze the response of plants to salt stress. In this context, the present work was conducted between August and November 2016 in a greenhouse at the Federal University of Campina Grande (7°12’52” S, 35°54’24” W, mean altitude of 550 m), using bell pepper plants cv. All Big, exposed to levels of nutrient solution electrical conductivity (1.7, 3.7, 5.7, 7.7, 9.7 and 11.7 dS m-1) and cultivated in hydroponic system, spaced by 0.2 and 0.3 m… Show more

“…As a defense mechanism, the plant reduces its transpiration rate when there are excess of salts in the solution, in order to retain a greater amount of water in the leaf, besides reducing the absorption and transport of Na + and Clions to its tissues, thus mitigating the deleterious effects of salinity (Ebrahim et al, 2017). Similar results were observed by Cavalcante et al (2019) when studying gas exchange in bell pepper plants subjected to increasing electrical conductivity of the nutrient solution in hydroponic system, which reduced E on average by 67% between the lowest and highest ECns.…”

Similar results were observed byCavalcante et al (2019) when studying gas exchange in bell pepper plants subjected to increasing electrical conductivity of the nutrient solution in hydroponic system, which reduced E on average by 67% between the lowest and highest ECns.The excess of ions in the brackish solution significantly reduced stomatal conductance (gs) in all cultivars at 15 DAT (Figure2A), and the cultivars Samambaia, Tomate Vermelho and Caroline showed a decrease in gs from ECns values of 4.8, 4.5 and 2.4 dS m -1 , respectively, reaching maximum gs of 0.288, 0.265 and 0.255 mol m -2 s -1 , which hence demonstrates that the cv. Samambaia obtained higher gs with higher ECns (4.8 dS m -1 ), thus being the most adapted to ECns.…”

“…The deleterious effect of salinity on the photosynthetic apparatus is common in Solanaceae plants. For instance, in bell pepper (C. annuum L.) plants, F 0 , F v and F m reduced significantly above the estimated ECw level of 3.98 dS m -1 (Cavalcante et al, 2019). Such response was also observed in tomato (S. lycopersicum L.) plants under increased salinity of irrigation water (Tatagiba et al, 2014).…”

“…Such conditions severely affect the development of crops in the region (Almeida et al, 2019). The high salt content in water and soil causes salt stress in plants which may disturb growth and development, by mainly affecting the photosynthetic apparatus (Cavalcante et al, 2019), resulting in biomass production losses.…”

“…Gas exchanges are very important to maintain plant vital processes, such as nutrients transport, the production of photoassimilates, cell expansion, cooling and plant cell water regulation. For these events to happen, the characteristics of the soil must provide good conditions for the plants (Cavalcante et al 2019).…”
