Item Anatomic and physiological modifications in seedlings of Coffea arabica cultivar Siriema under drought conditions(Editora UFLA, 2014-01) Melo, Emanuelle Ferreira; Fernandes-Brum, Christiane Noronha; Pereira, Fabrício José; Castro, Evaristo Mauro de; Chalfun-Júnior, AntonioDue to the weather changes prognostic for the coming years, the understanding of water deficit and physiological responses of plants to drought becomes an important requirement in order to develop technologies such as mechanisms to assist plants to cope with longer drought periods, which will be essential to maintenance of Brazilian and worldwide production. This study aimed to evaluate ecophysiological and anatomical aspects as well as the nitrate reductase activity in Siriema coffee seedlings subjected to four treatments: Daily irrigated, non-irrigated, re-irrigated 24 hours and re-irrigated 48 hours after different stress periods. Non-irrigation promoted a reduction in leaf water potential being accented from the ninth day of evaluation onwards. Re-irrigation promoted a partial recovery of the plant water potential. Non-irrigated plants showed an increase in stomatal resistance and reduction of transpiration and nitrate reductase activity. In the roots, there was a decrease in nitrate reductase activity under water stress. Leaf anatomical modifications were significant only for the adaxial surface epidermis and palisade parenchyma thickness, this latter characteristic being higher in control plants. Stomatal density and polar and equatorial diameter ratios showed the highest values in plants under water stress. In the roots, differences only in the cortex thickness being bigger in the non-irrigated treatment could be observed. Therefore, Siriema coffee plants under water stress show physiological, biochemical and anatomical modifications that contribute to the tolerance of this genotype to these conditions.Item Morphological plasticity of three coffee cultivars under light gradient(Editora UFLA, 2013-04) César, Fábio Ricardo Coutinho Fontes; Matsumoto, Sylvana Naomi; Viana, Anselmo Eloy Silveira; Bonfim, Joice AndradeThe aim of this study was to fill in gaps in knowledge regarding the interaction among shading systems, stages of development and cultivars on the initial growth of coffee plantlets, with due attention to adequate mathematical models, and to allow interpretations in light of currently emerging knowledge on this theme. The cultivars Catuaí (IAC 144), Catucaí 2SL, and Acauã were subjected to levels of light restriction of 30%, 50%, and 70%, and to full sunlight. The experiment was conducted from January to June 2007 in the experimental field at the Universidade Estadual do Sudoeste da Bahia – UESB, Vitória da Conquista, the state of Bahia, Brazil. In each trial defined by level of light restriction, a randomized block experimental design was used with five replicates, and the treatments were arranged in a split-plot design in which the main plot consisted of cultivars and the assessment times constituted the split-plots. Each experimental unit consisted of 12 plants. Vegetative development assessments began 30 days after emergence and were conducted at 15-day intervals until 90 days. The light restriction levels and assessment periods, as well as the interaction between those factors, affected all the growth characteristics evaluated. With the exception of stem diameter, all other growth parameters had similar behavior in relation to the number of days after emergence and levels of light restriction. In general, the morphological changes in the initial growth of the coffee plantlet were more intense under light restriction values from 30% to 50%, and Catucaí 2SL presented greater development in comparison to Catuaí (IAC 144) and Acauã.
