摘要
The distribution of woody species in flooded environments depends on the duration of stress as well as seed germination strategies and plant morphophysiological adaptations. Allophylus edulis is a tree that occurs in temporarily or permanently flooded areas in several countries of South America. In this paper, we evaluate seed germination, growth parameters, photosynthetic pigment contents and chlorophyll a fluorescence in young plants to understand the tolerance of the specie to flood events. The evaluations were performed in non-flooded (NFL) and flooded (FL) plants in a temporal scale that included short (up to 30 days) and long (up to 90 days) flood periods. A short flooding (15 days) may favor germination but maintaining stress for 60 days makes the seeds unviable. Although 71.4% of the FL plants survived up to 90 days of flooding, injuries such as chlorosis and foliar abscission appeared. An increase in stem height and diameter was only observed in NFL plants; whereas, FL plants showed a growth inhibition. At 90 days, NFL and FL plants presented total dry mass of 18.35 ± 1.57 g and 1.93 ± 0.62 g, respectively. The photosynthetic performance indexes indicated acclimatization of the plants on the third day of flooding, but the stress induced a progressive decline in the parameters, signaling damages to the photosystem II. Both seeds and young plants of A. edulis tolerate short periods of flooding, but prolonged floods make the seeds unfeasible and damages the photosynthetic apparatus, leading to death of the plants.
