Polyploidy has been related to improved tolerance of plants to environmental stresses. In Citrus breeding programs, the use of triploidy is an effective way to produce seedless fruits, one of the greatest consumer expectations. The current study used physiological and biochemical parameters to assess the differential responses to moderate water deficit of 3x genotypes compared to 2x genotypes belonging to the same hybridization. Both parents, the mandarin Fortune and Ellendale tangor, were also included in the experimental design, while the 2x common clementine tree was used as reference. Water deficit affects leaf water status, as well as physiological and detoxification processes. Triploid genotypes showed a better ability to maintain water status through increased proline content and photosynthetic capacity. Moreover, less oxidative damage was associated with stronger antioxidant defenses in triploid genotypes. We also found that triploidy improved the recovery capacity after a water deficit episode.
