o objetivo de estudar as respostas fisiológicas de cinco genótipos de eucalipto à disponibilidade hídrica e adubação potássica. As mudas foram plantadas em vasos preenchidos com sete litros de um Neossolo Quartzarênico, com baixo teor natural de potássio (0,2 mmol c .dm -3 K), e submetidas a dois regimes de irrigação (RI1 -diário e RI2 -irrigação suspensa até o aparecimento de sintomas iniciais de murcha), sem (K0) e com suprimento de potássio (K1 -200 mg.dm -3 K 2 O), em casa de vegetação. Avaliou-se a taxa fotossintética (A), condutância estomática (gs), transpiração (E), índice de conteúdo de clorofila (ICC), conteúdo relativo de água (CRA), eficiência fotoquímica (Fv/Fm), eficiência intrínseca (EUA intr ) e instantânea no uso da água (EUA inst ) e potencial hídrico foliar (Ψ f ). O experimento foi estabelecido no delineamento de blocos ao acaso, em esquema fatorial 5 x 2 x 2 (5 genótipos, 2 regimes de irrigação e 2 níveis de adubação potássica), com cinco repetições. À exceção da eficiência fotoquímica, as demais características apresentaram alterações significativas no regime RI2, com redução nos valores de A, gs e E e aumento em ICC e EUA inst . O suprimento de potássio nas plantas do RI2 proporcionou maiores valores de A, gs, E e CRA. Dos genótipos avaliados, o G1 é o mais resistente e o G2 o mais sensível à deficiência hídrica. Conclui-se que a adubação potássica pode amenizar os efeitos negativos da deficiência hídrica nos estádios iniciais de crescimento de eucalipto.Palavras-chave: Fotossíntese, estresse hídrico, metabolismo fisiológico. PHYSIOLOGICAL RESPONSES OF Eucalyptus grandis x E. urophylla GENOTYPES TO WATER AVAILABILITY AND POTASSIUM FERTILIZATION ABSTRACT: The aim of this work was to study the physiological responses of Eucalyptus genotypes seedlings to water availability and potassium fertilization. The plants were grown in pots filled with 7 L of the Quartzenic Neosoil, with low natural content potassium (0,2 mmol c .dm -3 K), and submitted to two irrigation regimes (IR1 -diary and IR2 -cessation of watering until visible wilting occurred), no (K0) and with (K1 -200 mg.dm -3 K 2 O) potassium fertilization in greenhouse condition. Photosynthetic rate (A), stomatal conductance (gs), transpiration (E), chlorophyll content index (CCI), relative water content (RWC), photochemical efficiency (Fv/Fm), intrinsic water-use-efficiency (iWUE), instantaneous water-use efficiency (WUE) and leaf water potential (Ψ f )were measured in all plants. The
The genetic divergence in 20 Eucalyptus spp. clones was evaluated by multivariate techniques based on 167 RAPD markers, of which 155 were polymorphic and 12 monomorphic. The measures of genetic distances were obtained by the arithmetic complement of the coefficients of Jaccard and of Sorenso-Nei and Li and evaluated by the hierarchical methods of Single Linkage clustering and Unweighted Pair Group Method with Arithmetic Mean (UPGMA). Independent of the dissimilarity coefficient, the greatest divergence was found between clones 7 and 17 and the smallest between the clones 11 and 14. Clone clustering was little influenced by the applied procedure so that, adopting the same percentage of divergence, the UPGMA identified two groups less for the coefficient of Sorenso-Nei and Li. The clones evidenced considerable genetic divergence, which is partly associated to the origin of the study material. The clusters formed by the UPGMA clustering algorithm associated to the arithmetic complement of Jaccard were most consistent.
