RESUMO

This work aimed to assess a possible relation between hight temperature and improvement in drought tolerance, as well as identify and select Eucalyptus urophylla cell lines under physiological and biochemical aspects. Callus obtained from hypocotyl of Eucalyptus urophylla and cultivated in N7 medium (SIMOLA, 1985) with the addition of 5mg.L-1 of Picloram were used to carry out the tests. These callus were transferred to N7 medium (SIMOLA, 1985) suplemented with 20% of PEG 6000 and then, they were treated at different temperatures (25, 30, 35, 40 and 45ºC) for two hours in BOD. Then, they were kept under constant conditions of light (50 µmol m-2 s-1 PAR) and temperature (26 + 2 oC) with photoperiod of 12 hours for 20 days. After that, part of the material was evaluated and the remained callus was transferred to N7 medium supplemented with 5 mg L-1 of Picloram. Passed four mouths, half of the selected cell lines was transferred to N7 liquid medium, aiming to evaluate the capacity of recovery of the material. The other part of the selected callus was submitted to water and thermal stress again, as in the first selection, for 20 days. The evaluation of the callus response was made through the quantification of proline, total soluble proteins, soluble sugars (glucoronic acid, glucose, celobiose, poliose and arabinose). The data were analised through fatorial analises using principal component techinics and through means comparation according to ANOVA and LSD (Least Significance Difference) test. Thus, these results showed a positive relation between hight temperature and improvement in drought tolerance in first instance, but in a second exposition to this stress factor, these advances was not significant. Tolerant cell lines to stress conditions could be selected using this methodology.
