Plant species occurring in the Caatinga biome, when subjected to different water fluctuations, may have their morphophysiological and metabolic performance altered. Depending on the level of stress, the production of quality seedlings is affected. Therefore, the objective of this study was to evaluate the responses to different water availability levels in the morphophysiological and biochemical development of Croton blanchetianus Baill. The experiment was carried out in a greenhouse, evaluating four water regimes: 25%, 50%, 75% and 100% of pot capacity, and conducted in a randomized block design, with a total 5 blocks. The variables analyzed were: branch height and branch diameter; leaf area, number of leaves, root volume; root dry mass, shoot dry mass, total dry mass and root/shoot ratio; relative water content, proline, total soluble proteins, malondialdehyde, hydrogen peroxide, and photosynthetic pigments (chlorophyll ɑ, chlorophyll b, and carotenoids). The species Croton blanchetianus Baill. shows drought tolerance mechanisms, demonstrated by the reductions of growth, leaf area, dry mass of seedlings and photosynthetic pigments. It adjusts osmotically with increments in the production of proline, which acts in osmoprotection when there is water deficit, and in the production of proteins under the lower and higher water regime. The species has full development of seedlings under water regimes between 75% and 80% and adapts to different water fluctuations.
