Popis: Rubber trees have shown exceptional capacity for carbon sequestration, and the shadowed leaves realise the most part of it. This study aimed to compare the performance of the leaves of two cultivars (RRIM 600 and Fx 3864), both at the age of four years, during the dry seasons of 2004/05. The carboxilation efficiency keept the same level for both periods, while the water use efficiency increased during the driest season (2004). In this period, the lowest transpiration rate and stomatal conductance indicated a preventive response to water stress. The chlorophyll content and photosynthetic rate were higher than those reported by other studies, in both periods; however, during the least dry period, RRIM 600 showed a better performance than Fx 3864 concerning to these characteres.
