Effects of hydric deficiency on gas exchange parameters and metabolism of Eucalyptus grandis clones

Abstract: The metabolic effects caused by hydric deficiency (HD) on Eucalyptus grandis clones were assessed by an experiment where plants were cultivated in four blocks. The first was the control block, normally irrigated, whereas the other three blocks were submitted to cycles of hydric deficiency. Analysis of photosynthetic efficiency, enzymatic activity of antioxidant response system, level of pigments and L-proline concentration were performed to evaluate the HD effects. Results showed that HD altered some parameter… Show more

“…SOD activity can be required, even in normal situations, to dismutate reactive oxygen species evolved in the metabolism of sugars in the mitochondria, being necessary for the use of SOD as biochemical marker of parameters of the activity of the enzyme in normal environments (Coscolin et al, 2011). E. F.…”

“…Also, it is commonly used in artificial afforestation around the world, and as a unique commercial tree species, Eucalyptus is planted on a large scale. However, Eucalyptus is often affected by abiotic stresses such as drought, low temperature, and salt stress during its growth, resulting in a decline in the yield [59][60][61]. Therefore, it is crucial to study and analyze the stress response-related genes of Eucalyptus to improve the excellent traits and breeding.…”

“…Salt stress is usually associated with water stress, since high concentrations of sodium in soil promote the restriction of water absorption by plants (Plazek et al, 2013). Under these conditions, a reduction in stomata opening occurs in order to avoid excessive loss of water from plant leaves, thus restricting their photosynthetic capacity by reduction in CO 2 acquisition (Coscolin et al, 2011;Kumar et al, 2014).…”
