RESUMO
Leaf net CO2 assimilation rate (A), stomatal conductance (gs), carboxylation efficiency, and foliar nonstructural carbohydrates were measured on mature, field-grown Vitis vinifera L. (cv Thompson Seedless) vines that had been trunk girdled, sprayed with gibberellic acid, or both, shortly after anthesis. Girdling reduced A, gs, and carboxylation efficiency when measured 2 weeks after imposition of the treatments. Diurnal measurements indicated that A of girdled vines was less than that of control vines between 1000 and 1800 hours. Gibberellic acid mitigated the depressing effect of girdling on gs during the same diurnal measurements. The concentrations of foliar carbohydrates were greatest for the girdled vines, followed by the combination treatment and were lowest for the control vines. Foliar carbohydrates were greater for girdled vines 4 weeks after the treatments were imposed, however, by this time there was no significant difference in A between the control and girdled vines. Two and 4 weeks after the experiment was initiated root carbohydrate concentrations were less for the girdled vines when compared to the control vines. The data indicate that the reduction in A of girdled grapevines is not associated with the accumulation of leaf nonstructural carbohydrates following the girdling treatment.
