Abstract

Water deficit is one of the most impactful factors that seriously alter plant physiology, ultimately leading to a decline in crop productivity. Therefore, it is essential to understand the morphophysiological behavior of plants with C3 and C4 metabolism in relation to different levels of water deficit so that management strategies can be developed. Therefore, we evaluated the impact of induced water stress on the morphophysiological characteristics of corn (Zea mays L.) and eggplant (Solanum gilo Raddi) plants. The experiment was carried out in a completely randomized design, with treatments consisting of a factorial combination of two plant species, maize (C4) and Jiló (C3), and three soil moisture levels T1 (50%), T2 (65%) and T3 (90%) with four repetitions. Growth variables, allometric relationships and photosynthetic aspects were evaluated. We found that the severe induced water regime significantly affected germination, emergence, growth and phenological stages, in addition to causing a decrease in the photosynthetic rate in the two studied species, however, with a greater impact on the scarlet eggplant. Corn (C4) showed greater photosynthetic efficiency compared to scarlet eggplant (C3), even under conditions of severe water regime.
