Photosynthetic characteristics in fig tree accessions for diversification of production

Abstract

Photosynthesis allows plants, through metabolic reactions, to obtain products for their growth and development. Knowledge of and estimating the physiological variables involved in the photosynthetic process can be an advantage in choosing accessions for setting up an orchard. The aim of this study therefore was to evaluate some of the physiological characteristics involved in the photosynthetic process of six commercial accessions of the fig tree. The experiment was conducted in a completely randomised design, comprising six treatments and six replications, giving a total of 36 experimental units. The treatments consisted of the following fig accessions: ‘Roxo de Valinhos’, ‘Palestino’, ‘Figo Vermelho’, ‘PI 189’, ‘Cuello Negro’ and ‘Turco’. The net rate of CO2 assimilation, stomatal conductance, transpiration rate and internal leaf temperature varied statistically between accessions. Some accessions demonstrated the same performance as ‘Roxo de Valinhos’ for the photosynthetic variables. As such, the dependence of the domestic market on one single cultivar should be reviewed; however, further studies on other physiological and production characteristics should be carried out in order to validate each recommendation.

Efeitos combinados do fósforo e análogo de brassinoesteroides na fase inicial da cana-de-açúcar: crescimento e fotossíntese

“…As respostas benéficas nas variáveis de transpiração, condutância estomática e assimilação liquida de CO2 da fotossíntese à adição de P permitem que as plantas por meio de reações metabólicas obtenham a energia necessária para o seu crescimento e desenvolvimento (FERREIRA et al, 2019). Silva et al (2010) demostraram que mudas de café arábica (Coffea arabica) submetidas à dosagem ideal de P, e também duas vezes essa dosagem, apresentaram um incremento na assimilação liquida de CO2 e condutância estomática, refletindo em maior produção de matéria seca.…”

“…The Relative Growth Rate (RGR) was adjusted in relation to time using a second-degree polynomial equation. Therefore, data were presented in the form of graphs, evaluating the behavior of curves (Ferreira et al, 2019).…”
