          Abstract

          The close relationship between the chlorophyll-meters readings and the total chlorophyll and nitrogen contents in leaves, has allowed their evaluation both in annual and perennial species. Besides, some physiological events such as the CO2 assimilation have also been estimated by chlorophyll meters. This work was carried out aiming to evaluate the gas exchanges of peach palms as a function of the chlorophyll SPAD-Meter readings. Three year-old peach palms from Yurimaguas, Peru were studied in Ubatuba, SP, Brazil, spaced 2 x 1 m in area under a natural gradient of organic matter which allowed four plots to be considered, according to the peach palms leaves colors, from light yellow to dark green. The SPAD readings and the stomatal frequency of leaflets were evaluated. The photosynthetic photon flux density (PPFD, μmol m-2 s-1), the leaf temperature (Tleaf, ºC), the CO2 assimilation (A, μmol m-2 s-1), the stomatal conductance (g s, mol m-2 s-1), the transpiration (E, mmol m-2 s-1) and the intercellular CO2 concentration (Ci, μmol mol-1) were evaluated with a portable infrared gas analyzer (LCA-4, ADC BioScientific Ltd., Great Amwell, U.K.). A linear increase in the CO2 assimilation as a function of the SPAD readings (y = -0.34 + 0.19x, R² = 0.99), indicates that they can be a rapid and cheap complementary method to evaluate in peach palms some important physiological events, such as CO2 assimilation.

          A estreita correlação entre leituras medidas com clorofilômetros portáteis e os teores de clorofila total e de nitrogênio em folhas têm permitido que esses teores tanto em espécies anuais como perenes sejam estimados por meio desses equipamentos. Da mesma forma, alguns eventos fisiológicos, como assimilação de CO2, têm também sido estimados. Este trabalho teve o objetivo de avaliar as trocas gasosas em pupunheiras, em função das leituras realizadas em clorofilômetro SPAD-Meter. Foram estudas em Ubatuba-SP, Brasil, pupunheiras de três anos, originárias de Yurimaguas, Peru, plantadas em espaçamento 2 x 1 m, em área apresentando gradiente natural de matéria orgânica, fato que permitiu a consideração de quatro plots cada um, apresentando pupunheiras de coloração distinta variando do amarelo-claro ao verde-escuro. Foram avaliadas as leituras SPAD e a frequência estomática dos folíolos. A densidade de fluxo de fótons fotossintéticos (DFFF, μmol m-2 s-1), a temperatura das folhas (Tfolha, ºC), a assimilação de CO2 (A, μmol m-2 s-1), a condutância estomática (g s, mol m-2 s-1), a transpiração (E, mmol m-2 s-1) e a concentração intercelular de CO2 (Ci, μmol mol-1) foram avaliadas pelo analisador portátil por radiação infravermelha (LCA-4, ADC BioScientific Ltd., Great Amwell, U.K.). Correlação linear da assimilação de CO2, em função das leituras SPAD (y = -0.34 + 0.19x, R² = 0.99), indicou que o clorofilômetro SPAD-Meter pode ser um meio complementar, rápido e barato de se estimar importantes eventos fisiológicos em pupunheiras, como a assimilação de CO2.
