摘要：The objective of the study was to understand the physiological changes of the sunflower, in the reproductive phase, when submitted to water and saline stresses. The study was conducted in a protected environment, applying 4 irrigation levels (25, 50, 75 and 100% of crop evapotranspiration) and 2 levels of electrical conductivity of irrigation water (0.6 and 3.0 dS m-1) in cultivar Charrua. The design was a randomized complete block design in a 4 x 2 factorial scheme with 3 replicates. Parameters of gas exchange and fluorescence were evaluated. For the gas exchange the photosynthetic rate (A), transpiratory rate (E), stomatal conductance (Gs), internal CO2 concentration (Ci) and the Ci/Ca, A/Ci, A/Gs and A/E. For the chlorophyll A fluorescence, the effective quantum yield of photosystem II (φ PSII), potential quantum yield of photosystem II (Fv / Fm) and photochemical quenching (qP) and non-photochemical quenching (qNP) were measured. The chlorophyll A fluorescence did not change significantly with the treatments. The Charrua showed adaptability to the effects of the stresses, resulting in a decrease in stomatal opening, increases of Gs, A, instantaneous carboxylation efficiency and water use efficiency when submitted to lower levels of irrigation and electrical conductivity.
