Water stress effects on chlorophyll fluorescence and chlorophyll content in sugarcane cultivars with contrasting tolerance

One way to minimize the impacts caused by water deficit (WD) in agriculture is the use of tolerant cultivars. The physiological evaluation of plants through the potential quantum efficiency of photosystem II (Fv/Fm) and estimated chlorophyll content (SPAD index) can be an effective tool in the selec...
