Respostas morfofisiológicas de genótipos de cana-de-açúcar e cana energia sob diferentes regimes hídricos na fase inicial de crescimento

Abstract

Plants of the genus Saccharum (sugarcane), focus of this study, are the most versatile plant species domesticated by man, Is the great possibilities of using these or its adaptability, after its domestication and evolution of genetical enhancement. The present study was to evaluate morphophysiological responsesof of sugar cane and energy cane genotypes Submitted to water restriction in the initial phase of growth. The experiment was conducted in a greenhouse of Plant Physiology department of the Academic Unit of Agricultural Sciences Center, Campus Delza Gitai, the Federal University of Alagoas, located in Rio Largo city (09 ° 28 'S, 35 ° 49' W and 127 m altitude), State Alagoas. The experimental design consisted of randomized blocks (DBC), composed of five replicates in a factorial arrangement of 6 x 2, totaling 60 installments, consisting of six genotypes of sugarcane (RB29579, RB867515, RB11999, RB330, IN8484, IN8272) subjected to two levels of water stress: no stress (soil with 100% of field capacity (FC)) and water stress (50% DC), tax at 78 days after planting (DAP). We evaluated the growth of plants, leaf water potential (Ψw) and spad index. At the end of the experiment (112 DAP) plants were collected to determine the dry mass, growth rates, Physiological indices and biochemical analyzes. There was genotypic variation in the morphophysiological responses of sugarcane to the water deficit. The genotypes of sugarcane and energy cane presented Different behavior in response to water restriction for plant height and accumulation of dry mass in the aerial part. The variety RB867515 presented greater tolerance to the oxidative stress induced by the water deficit in relation to the others.
