Oil palm (Elaeis guineensis Jacq.) presents considerable sensitivity to water deficit and the identification of stress-tolerant hybrids is a strategy to improve the adaptation and growth of plants throughout the annual dry seasons. For this reason, we examined possible differences in water deficit tolerance in two oil palm hybrids (BRS Manicoré and BRS C 2501) subjected to moderate drought conditions. The comparison of hybrids was performed using diurnal curves of leaf water potential (Ψw), gas exchanges, and biochemical variables, such as chloroplast pigments and enzymes analysis. The experiment was carried out in a completely randomized design, in a 2 × 2 × 13 factorial scheme resulting from the combination of two hybrids versus two water regimes, and thirteen evaluation schedules. Regardless of the water regime, the maximum average value of net assimilation rates of CO2 (A), stomatal conductance to water vapor (gs), and water use efficiency (A/E) in both hybrids was registered at 8 h. Peaks of A, gs, and A/E coincided with milder climatic conditions during the morning. While decreases in these variables were observed with increases in air temperature and vapor pressure deficit between leaf and atmosphere throughout the day. The water deficit induced significant increases in the total carotenoids levels of BRS C 2501 (62%) and BRS Manicoré (220%), while chlorophyll a content was significantly reduced only in BRS C 2501 (36%) and chlorophyll b only in Manicoré (34%). It also mediated significant increases in the activities of glycolate and catalase oxidase in both hybrids; however, such increases were more expressive in BRS C 2501 than in BRS Manicoré. In conclusion, it can be inferred that BRS Manicoré presents more favorable physiological and biochemical responses to the water deficit imposed compared to BRS C 2501.

Water supply is the main limiting factor that affects oil palm (Elaeis guineensis Jacq.) yield. This study aimed to evaluate the gas exchange and photosynthetic capacity, determine the physiological effects and assess the tolerance potential of oil palm genotypes under water-deficit conditions. The two oil palm commercial genotypes IRHO1001 and IRHO7010 were exposed to soil water potentials of -0.042 MPa (field capacity or well-watered) or -1.5 MPa (drought-stressed). The leaf water potential and gas exchange parameters, including photosynthesis, stomatal conductance, transpiration and water use efficiency (WUE), as well as the photosynthesis reduction rate were monitored at 4 and 8 weeks after treatment. The IRHO7010 genotype showed fewer photosynthesis changes and a smaller photosynthetic reduction under the prolonged water deficit conditions of 23% at 4 weeks after the treatment as compared to 53% at 8 weeks after treatment, but the IRHO1001 genotype showed 46% and 74% reduction at the two sampling times. 'IRHO7010' had a higher stomatal conductance and transpiration potential than 'IRHO1001' during the water shortage. The WUE and leaf water potential were not different between the genotypes during dehydration. The data suggested that 'IRHO7010' had a higher photosynthetic capacity during the drought stress and was more drought-tolerant than 'IRHO1001'.

Oil palm is the most productive and efficient oilseed crop in the world. Oil palm is planted in various geographical areas, where the frequency of extreme weather events is expected to increase because of climate change. The characterization of the response of oil palm cultivars to climatic conditions will allow identifying sources of tolerance to different types of stress caused by climate change, leading to the determination of the best genotype x environment relationships. The physiological responses, oil quality and yield of 11, six-year-old commercial oil palm cultivars with different origins were evaluated in two periods of contrasting climate conditions (rainy and dry seasons between the years 2008 and 2010). We found that the first impact of a period with water deficit was the reduction on gas exchange of all cultivars. Photosynthesis fell between 25% to 40% and transpiration decreased between 10% and 50%. During the dry season, leaf sugar concentration increased respect to the rainy season between 14% to 114%, and certain cultivars showed up to 27% higher photosynthetic water use efficiency. This variation could be due to the genetics of different cultivars. No significant differences were observed between the seasons in terms of oil quality. In general, changes in oil palm physiology observed in response to water deficit were related to the ability of the palm to adapt and survive periods of drought stress. The cultivars evaluated showed a good response to dry periods, with the IRHO being the most outstanding at each evaluated season .

ABSTRACT The objective of this study was to analyze the effect of water deficit stress on the growth of Dipteryx alata plants. The experiment was carried out on a bench in full sun at the Goiás State University experimental unit, in Ipameri town, Goiás. Dipteryx alata seeds were collected from native plants in that municipality and sown in four-liter pots containing a mixture of soil, sand and cattle manure at ratio 3:1:0.5, respectively. The experiment was set up following the completely randomized design with five treatments (plants irrigated for 25 days with water volumes corresponding to 0%, 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100% of daily evapotranspiration) and six replicates. Treatments were applied when the plants were 60 days old, and at 85 days the plants were assessed for the following parameters: plant height, stem diameter, number of leaves, foliar chlorophyll concentration (a+b ), total carotenoids, relative water content, transpiration, leaf, stem and root mass ratios, and total biomass. During early development, the Dipteryx alata plants were highly sensitive to water deficit, significantly slowing down vegetative growth. Accordingly, in order to remain alive, the plants drastically reduced transpiration as a result of high stomatal sensitivity.

Elaeis guineensis palms and its interspecific hybrid (E. oleifera x E. guineensis) were planted in 2004 in the Cuernavaca farm of Unipalma S.A., located in the municipality of Paratebueno (Cundinamarca, Colombia). The palms were planted in two fields: Mecasaragua and Aurora. The first field has never been irrigated, and the second one (Aurora) has always been flood-irrigated during the dry season according to the parameters of the plantation. In this study, physiological parameters (gas exchange and water potential) were assessed in three seasons of the year 2013 (dry season, dry-to-wet transition season and wet season). Significant gas exchange differences were found among the seasons in the field with no irrigation (Mecasaragua). Likewise, differences between the genetic materials were observed during the dry season. For example, the photosyn thesis decreased by 75% compared with the palms planted in the irrigated field. No differences among seasons or materials were found in the irrigated field (Aurora). E. guineensis palms were more sensitive to water stress compared with the OxG interspecific hybrid. Both genetic materials responded rapidly to the first rains by leveling their photosynthetic rates and demonstrated an excellent capacity to recover from water stress.

We hypothesized that more complex, i.e. irregular, temporal dynamics and a more interconnected overall network supports greater stability to gas exchange parameters (herein, CO2 net assimilation and transpiration) in plants under water deficit. To test this hypothesis two genotypes of Phaseolus vulgaris were subjected to a period of absence of irrigation, and subsequent rewatering to achieve recovery. Gas exchanges parameters were measured each 10 s during 6 h to obtain time series to evaluate complexity by Approximate Entropy (ApEn) calculations, and network connectance in each water regime. Notably, the Jalo Precoce genotype showed significantly more stability than the Guarumbé genotype under system perturbation, coincident with greater irregularity in each gas exchange parameter and greater overall connectance for Jalo Precoce. This conclusion is consistent with other observations of greater homeostasis in more complex networks, seen in broad contexts such as cardiac rhythms and respiratory dynamics

Seedling performance is a prerequisite for successful palm oil cultivation. Determining the growth of seedlings in addition to genetic factors can also be influenced by the provision of nutrients at the beginning of growth. This research was conducted with the aim to get the best combination of cow manure with urea and NPK on the growth of oil palm seedlings in pre-nursery. This experiment used a factorial design, consisting of a single factor arranged in a completely randomized design (CRD), which is a combined application of cow manure, urea fertilizer and NPK fertilizer consisting of 4 combination levels (0.4 g urea + 0.4 g NPK; 0.2 g urea + cow manure fertilizer, 0.2 g NPK + cow manure fertilizer, and 65 g cow manure fertilizer). Research data was analyzed using Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) at 5% significance level. The results showed that administration of a combination of 0.2 g urea + 40 g cow manure produced the best growth of oil palm seedlings, although it had the same effect as a combination of 0.4 g NPK fertilizer + 50 g cow manure, whereas the combination treatment of 0.4 g urea + 0.4 g NPK fertilizer and 65 g cow manure treatment resulted in lower growth of oil palm seedlings.

O potencial hídrico foliar pode ser considerado como um parâmetro de indicação da condição hídrica das culturas. Este trabalho teve como objetivo estudar o potencial hídrico foliar das plantas de milho sobre déficit hídrico no estágio inicial de desenvolvimento reprodutivo. O experimento foi conduzido no interior de uma cobertura móvel “Rainout shelter”, utilizando o delineamento experimental inteiramente casualizado, com dois tratamentos e quinze repetições. Os tratamentos foram constituídos de dois manejos da água de irrigação: (i) irrigado (as plantas de milho receberam irrigação conforme suas necessidades durante todo o ciclo de desenvolvimento); (ii) déficit hídrico aplicado antes do pendoamento.   O déficit hídrico teve uma duração de aproximadamente 50 mm de ETo acumulada. A cobertura móvel foi acionada quando da ocorrência de chuvas, impedindo que esta ocorresse sobre a área experimental. Determinou-se o conteúdo de água disponível nas camadas de 0-10, 10-25, 25-55 e 55-85 cm de profundidade e variação diária do potencial hídrico das folhas de milho. Não foram observadas diferenças entre os tratamentos para o potencial de água na folha. O potencial hídrico foliar em plantas de milho não apresenta variação para déficit hídrico de 50 mm de evapotranspiração de referência acumulada.   UNITERMOS: déficit hídrico, potencial hídrico foliar, milho, irrigação.     MARTINS, J.

LEAF WATER POTENTIAL IN MAIZE EXPOSED TO WATER DEFICIT 2 ABSTRACT   The leaf water potential can be considered as a parameter for indicating the crops water condition. This work aimed to study the maize leaf water potential on water deficit in the reproductive developmentinitial stage. The experiment was conducted within a mobile coverage "rainout shelter" using a completely randomized design with two treatments and fifteen repetitions. The treatments consisted of two water irrigation management: (i) irrigated (maize was irrigated as needed throughout the development cycle), (ii) water stress applied before tasseling. The drought lasted approximately 50 mm of accumulated reference evapotranspiration (ETo). The mobile coverage was triggered when rainfall occurred, preventing water from falling into the experimental area. Available water was determined  in layers of 0-10, 10-25, 25-55 and 55-85 cm depth and daily variation of water potential in maize leaves were also  evaluated. There were no differences between treatments for leaf water potential. The maize leaf water potential presented no change to water deficit equivalent to 50 mm of accumulated ETo.  KEYWORDS: water deficit, leaf water potential, maize, irrigation.
