| Spanish abstract | El híbrido interespecífico Elaeis oleifera x Elaeis guineensis (OxG) es una alternativa para mejorar la competitividad y sostenibilidad de la agroindustria de la palma de aceite latinoamericana, debido a su resistencia parcial a enfermedades letales y a que su aceite es de muy alta calidad. Se realizó la caracterización comparativa del desempeño fisiológico y bioquímico de seis híbridos OxG crecidos en medio hidropónico. Se hicieron determinaciones de intercambio de gases, crecimiento vegetativo, proteínas, azúcares, contenido de pigmentos fotosintéticos y actividad del sistema antioxidante enzimático. Con excepción de las variables de intercambio de gases, las otras variables mostraron diferencias significativas entre materiales. Los materiales ‘U1273’ y ‘U1737’ mostraron mayor crecimiento vegetativo sin expresar cualidades desde el punto de vista bioquímico, mientras los materiales ‘U1914’ y ‘U1990’ mostraron altos niveles de azúcares totales y reductores, compuestos fotosintéticos y actividades del sistema antioxidante, características que podrían conferirles adaptación a condiciones de estrés |
| English abstract | The interspecific hybrid, Elaeis oleifera x Elaeis guineensis (OxG) is an alternative for improving the competitiveness and sustainability of the Latin American oil palm agro-industry, because of its partial resistance to some lethal diseases and also because of the high quality of its oil. A comparative characterization was conducted of the physiological and biochemical performance of seedlings of six OxG hybrids grown in hydroponics. Gas exchange, vegetative growth, protein, sugar and photosynthetic pigment content, and antioxidant system activity were determined. With the exception of gas exchange, the other variables showed significant differences between materials. The ‘U1273’ and ‘U1737’ materials showed greater vegetative growth with no expression of biochemical traits, while the ‘U1914’and ‘U1990’ materials showed high levels of reducing and total sugars, photosynthetic pigments, and antioxidant system activities, characteristics that could confer them adaptation to stress conditions. With the standardized hydroponics technique, the optimal conditions for the growth of seedlings were ensured, the differences between materials were established, so those with promising features from the physiological and biochemical standpoint were identified. Finally, it could be used to study in a simple, fast, clean and inexpensive way, the effect of levels and sources of mineral nutrients on the growth and development of oil palm |
