Photosynthetic performance of mangroves Rhizophora mangle and Laguncularia racemosa under field conditions Desempenho fotossintético de Rhizophora mangle e Laguncularia racemosa em condições de campo

Abstract

In mature mangrove plants Rhizophora mangle L. and Laguncularia racemosa Gaerth. growing under field conditions, photosystem 2 (PS2) photochemical efficiency, determined by the ratio of variable to maximum fluorescence (Fν/Fm), increased during the day in response to salinity in the rainy seasons. During the dry season, fluorescence values (Fo) were higher than those observed in rainy season. In addition, Fo decreased during the day in both season and species, except for R. mangle during the dry season. A positive correlation among Fν/Fm and salinity values was obtained for R. mangle and L. Racemosa during the dry and rainy seasons, showing that photosynthetic performance is maintained in both species under high salinities. Carotenoid content was higher in L. Racemosa in both seasons, which represents an additional mechanism against damage to the photosynthetic machinery. The chlorophyll content was not affected by salinity in either species.Em plantas adultas de Rhizophora mangle L. e Laguncularia racemosa Gaerth. crescendo em condições de campo, a eficiência fotoquímica do fotossistema 2 (FS2), determinada pela razão fluorescência variável : fluorescência máxima (Fν/Fm), aumentou durante o dia em resposta à salinidade, durante a estação chuvosa. Durante a estação seca, os valores de Fo foram superiores aos observados durante a estação chuvosa. Além disso, Fo reduziu-se ao longo do dia em ambas as estações e espécies, exceto para R. mangle durante a estação seca. Uma correlação positiva entre os valores de Fν/Fm e da salinidade foi obtida em R. mangle e L. racemosa durante as estações seca e chuvosa, mostrando que o desempenho fotossintético é mantido em ambas as espécies sob altas salinidades. O conteúdo de carotenóides foi maior em L. racemosa, em ambas as estações, representando um mecanismo adicional contra danos à maquinaria fotossintética. O conteúdo de clorofila não foi afetado pela salinidade das espécies estudadas.
