Fruit growing is an interesting option for the agronomic development in the Amazon. Favorable conditions for the production of various native and exotic species become an excellent option for recovery of degraded areas and income generation. However, global climate change and water stress are increasingly detrimental to productivity. This study aimed to evaluate the behavior of young plants of Garcinia brasiliensis submitted four irrigation treatments during the initial phase of vegetative growth, to identify morphological and physiological characteristics affected by water stress. The study was conducted in a greenhouse at the National Institute for Research in the Amazon Manaus-AM. Two experiments were carried out by completely randomized design. The Experiment I with seven repetitions, starting 190 days after germination, lasting 90 days, the water levels in the soil were divided into four treatments (100%, 75%, 50% and 25% of field capacity).The variables analyzed were leaf water potential (Ψf), stomatal conductance (gs ), maximum photosynthesis (Amax), transpiration (E), water use efficiency (EUA), intrinsic efficiency in water use (EIUA), maximum quantum efficiency (Fv/ Fm), effective quantum yield (ΦFSII), the electron transport rate (ETR) and non- photochemical quenching (NPQ). Biochemical parameters were analyzed, including chloroplastic pigments, carbohydrates, proline, and growth variables, such as stem height, diameter, leaf area and dry mass allocation. Water stress led to reduced leaf area (p ≤ 0,035). There was no statistical difference in the values of gas exchange, and chloroplastic pigments. The effect of treatments on levels of sugar (p ≤ 0,01) and starch content (p ≤ 0,001) were significant, and an increase of 64% in treatment with lower water availability was observed. There was also an effect of treatments on proline content (p = 0,05). The second experiment was carried out 90 days after germination, lasting 15 days, we evaluated water regimes and chlorophyll fluorescence in seedlings exposed to two temperatures 27°C and 38°C. No effect of water regimes on fluorescence was observed (p < 0,05). The Fv/Fm ratio was reduced by 16% in treatment exposed to 38°C compared to 27°C, indicating that the photochemical apparatus was affected by the high temperature. The values of the effective quantum yield, the electron transport rate and non-photochemical quenching were also affected by the high temperature exposure, but there was no effect of the water regime on the fluorescence parameters. In all cases seedlings of Garcinia brasiliensis showed different strategies, and managed to acclimate to the different types of stresses imposed.
