contents Differential leaf gas exchange responses to salinity and drought in the mangrove tree Avicecennia germinans (Avicenniaceae) M.A. Sobrado Biología NaCl mangrove Avicennia germinans stomatal conductance water use efficiency Leaf gas exchange was assessed in Avicennia germinans L. grown under different NaCl concentrations (0-40), after salt-relief, and then during drought. Stomatal conductance (gs) and net photosynthetic rate (Pn) decreased with increasing NaCl concentration, and intrinsic water use efficiency (Pn / gs) increased. Under desalinization Pn / gs declined. Thus, gs did not change in plants grown at low NaCl concentration (10), but increased up to 30-32% at higher NaCl concentration (20 - 40). However, Pn was only slightly enhanced (10- 15%). Under drought, Pn decreased by as much as 46% in plants grown at low NaCl concentration (10) and by 22% at high NaCl concentration (40). Thus, Pn / gs decreased and water use efficiency was lower during drought compared to estimates prior to salt-relief. Rev. Biol. Trop. 54(2): 371-375.
