RESUMO

The increasing demand for biofuels has provided significant increases in the areas of sugar cane in Brazil and in recent decades,and long periods of drought have limited the production of this species. This study aimed to evaluate the performance of cultivars RB 85-5536 and RB 93-509 of cane sugar on water restriction during the first stages of development. Experiment was carried out in the greenhouse of the Department of Agronomic Engineering at UFS in randomized blocks in factorial2 x 4, two cultivars (RB 85-5536 and RB 93-509) and four levels of water in the soil based on predefined at field capacity (100% Cc, 80% Cc, 60% Cc and 40% Cc), with four replications, each replicate consisting of a plant. Were evaluated the initial fluorescence emission (F0), maximum fluorescence (Fm), the quantum yield of photosystem (Fv/Fm) and fluorescence transient OJIP, indices of photosynthetic pigments and proline contents determined in leaves determined +1. The measurements of emission of fluorescence were performed during the period of seven days every two days, from 10 to 12 am, with the aid of fluorometer (OS-30P) and clips fixed on the central portion of the leaf, the contents of pigments were determined in the same period with the aidofaportable chlorophyllmeter (Clorofilog CFL 1030) whereas the proline content in the end of the experiment. The fluorescence emission levels and rates of photosynthetic pigments decreased with the increase of water restriction in both cultivars. The cultivar RB 93-509 has accumulated higher proline contentat the level of stress 60% of Cc. With the increase of stress severe by water restriction occurs a reduction in total levels of chlorophyll fluorescence and photosynthetic pigment contents from the seventh day of stress in both varieties of sugar cane. The cultivar RB 93-509 presents greater sensitivity to water stress than the cultivar RB 85-5536.
