Water relations in physic nut according to climatic seasonality, in semiarid conditions

Abstract: -The objective of this work was to determine the effect of climatic seasonality on physic nut (Jatropha curcas), in field, under semiarid climate conditions. Stomatal conductance (g s ), transpiration (E), soluble leaf carbohydrates (SLC), free amino acids (FAA) and total proteins (TP) were measured in leaves, in a commercial plantation in Northeast Brazil, during the summer and autumn. Plants showed high g s and E, as well as SLC, FAA and TP contents in the summer, which gradually decreased with the lower tem… Show more

“…On the contrary, Egea et al (2011) stated that A increases with g s , both of which are affected by the radiation intensity (Turner and Thomas 1998). Indeed, they both decrease with the reduced incidence of PAR (Rodrigues et al 2011). Hence, although leaf humidity allowed stomatal opening, the reduced incidence of solar radiation affected the photochemical phase and reduced A in shaded leaves of AGP.…”

“…A redução da disponibilidade hídrica causa efeitos diretos na capacidade fotossintética das plantas, afetando as reações bioquímicas e o funcionamento do aparato fotossintético, e indiretamente pelo fechamento estomático (LAWLOR;CORNIC, 2002;SILVA et al, 2008;RODRIGUES et al, 2011;TONELLO;TEIXEIRA FILHO, 2012;CUNHA et al, 2013). A diminuição da abertura estomática é observada por muitos autores como sendo umas das respostas diretas ao estresse hídrico (LIBERATO et al, 2006;LIMA et al, 2010;WARREN et al, 2011;ALBUQUERQUE et al, 2013), como forma de reduzir aperda de água e a possibilidade de morte por dessecação (NOGUEIRA; SILVA, 2002;SILVA et al, 2009;CORDEIRO et al, 2009;SCALON et al, 2011).…”

“…The processes of water loss by plants are driven by the availability of water in the soil; however, the response is determined by factors such as the available energy and evaporative demand of the atmosphere, as well as the plant's own resistance. Rodrigues et al (2011), in a study on the variability of stomatal conductance in an Amazonian mangrove ecosystem, reported that stomatal conductance proportionally varied to the VPD in the absence of water restriction in the soil. Observing the fluctuations between the SF and TR measurements of the atemoya over the 12-day evaluation period, a maximum of 0.290 L day -1 , minimum TR of 0.025 L day -1 , and average TR of 0.179 L day -1 were confirmed.…”
