Abstract

The objective of the project is to examinate the metabolic effects caused by hydric stress on Eucalyptus globulus Labill clones. For the propose, two blocks will be conduced. The control set will be normally irrigated, while the second block conduced under hydric stress. The evaluations will be carried weekly out including the analysis of enzymatic activity of the antioxidative response system, as well the contents of pigments and proline concentration.
