Photosynthesis and Growth of Copaiba Seedlings Subjected to Soil Flooding

Abstract: The present study aimed to evaluate the effects of soil flooding on photosynthesis, growth, and biomass partitioning of young plants of copaiba (Copaifera lucens Dwyer, Fabaceae) to investigate the possibility of using this species in restoration projects of riparian forests. Based on our results, we concluded that young plants of C. lucens are able to tolerate soil flooding for a period of approximately one month, despite significant decreases in the growth rate of roots, stomatal conductance to water vapor, … Show more

“…Under flooding, root respiration underwent an immediate drop due to oxygen deficiency, with reductions in ATP production, limiting the energy supply for root and shoot growth (Zanandrea et al, 2010). On the other hand, this growing interruption is related to metabolic changes during the flooding period, which shows an increased production of the ethylene hormone, considered an important signal of water stress, allowing energy reserves to be used for the formation of organs, tissues, or of stomata, which was not assessed in this study but is associated with a reduction in gs, which hindered the entry of CO 2 and caused reductions in the ribulose-1,5bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenate (Rubisco) activity (non-stomatal cause) (Dalmolin et al, 2013;Liu et al, 2014;Vidal et al, 2019), reducing photosynthetic metabolism, which was verified in this study.…”

“…The oxidation of flooded roots is due to the fact that under anoxia/hypoxia there is an excessive production of ethanol due to the increased enzymatic activity associated with anaerobic respiration. That is, low supply of O 2 accelerates glycolysis, and anaerobic respiration leads to excess acid production by lactate dehydrogenase to compensate for the low energy production in respiration (Lobo and Joly, 2000;Vidal et al, 2019).…”

“…Também se verifica que espécies vegetais diferentes reagem de forma diferente à hipóxia do solo (Belfort et al, 2020). Se for considerado apenas as espécies tropicais, ainda assim, há uma grande diversidade de respostas nas espécies aos alagamentos periódicos do solo (Oliveira & Joly, 2010;Medri et al, 2012;Binotto et al, 2016;Vidal et al, 2019).…”
