Respostas fisiológicas e bioquímicas de Pistacia atlantica Desf. aclimatada à seca à irrigação de curto prazo
Resumo
Pistacia atlantica Desf. é uma espécie arbórea-chave tolerante à seca em ecossistemas hiperáridos do Norte da África; no entanto, pouco se sabe sobre como seus osmólitos e seu sistema antioxidante baseado em compostos fenólicos respondem quando a disponibilidade hídrica é transitoriamente melhorada. Este estudo avaliou os efeitos de curto prazo da irrigação sobre os níveis de osmólitos, a composição fenólica e a atividade antioxidante em árvores de P. atlantica aclimatadas à seca. Dez árvores adultas na região de Igli (sudoeste da Argélia) foram distribuídas em grupos não irrigados e irrigados. Folhas foram coletadas antes e após 90 dias de irrigação. O tamanho amostral relativamente reduzido reflete o número limitado de árvores disponíveis e adequadas aos critérios do estudo na área. Foram determinados o conteúdo relativo de água, prolina, glicina betaína, fenólicos totais e compostos fenólicos individuais (HPLC-DAD). Os resultados mostraram que a irrigação aumentou o conteúdo hídrico foliar em cerca de 12 % e reduziu significativamente a prolina (−25 %), a glicina betaína (−22 %) e os fenólicos totais (−30 %), enquanto o IC₅₀ aumentou em 25 %. Todos os compostos fenólicos quantificados diminuíram após a irrigação, com reduções máximas de −24 a −27 % observadas para os ácidos clorogênico, ferúlico e p-cumárico e a quercetina, enquanto os ácidos gálico, siríngico e elágico, bem como a naringenina, apresentaram reduções mais moderadas (−8 a −16 %). A estreita associação entre osmólitos, ácidos hidroxicinâmicos-chave e flavonóis, e a atividade antioxidante indica uma rede de defesa integrada altamente sensível à disponibilidade hídrica e central para a resistência à seca e a recuperação nesta espécie.
