TL;DR
This study explores how different eucalyptus clones respond to varying irrigation intervals, focusing on their photosynthetic and antioxidant behaviors.
Contribution
The study reveals distinct physiological and biochemical responses of eucalyptus clones to irrigation intervals, emphasizing flavonoids' role in mitigating water stress.
Findings
Clones C1, C2, and C3 showed higher photosynthesis and transpiration with 2- and 4-day irrigation intervals.
Clone C5 exhibited increased water use efficiency under water stress conditions.
Flavonoid accumulation patterns varied among clones, with daidzein and genistein showing distinct responses to irrigation intervals.
Abstract
The study of the relationship between water availability, photosynthetic behavior, flavonoid accumulation, and antioxidant response offers new perspectives for enhancing nursery practices, resulting in more vigorous eucalyptus seedlings that are tolerant and have greater potential for field establishment. Under the hypothesis that different eucalyptus genetic materials show contrasting responses to water availability in the soil–plant–atmosphere system, this study aims to evaluate the physiological behavior of clones subjected to different irrigation intervals, with an emphasis on the role of flavonoids as antioxidants in mitigating the effects of water stress. The experimental design was structured in strips containing five eucalyptus clones and irrigation with different watering intervals: 1, 2, 4, and 8 days. Evaluations of net photosynthesis, transpiration, and instantaneous water…
