ABSTRACT

Neoglaziovia variegata (Arruda) Mez, a Bromeliad endemic to the Brazilian Caatinga and source of fiber for many different products, is considered an endangered species. Leaf and stem segments were cultivated on Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium with combinations of 2,4- dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) (0, 9, 18 and 27 µM) and glutamine (0, 50, 100, 150, 200 mg L-1) for the induction of embryogenic calli. Leaf segments did not present a favorable response for the combinations analyzed. The best response for embryogenic calli frequency with the best distribution of somatic embryos on the surface and better conversion rate was obtained using the stems explants in the medium containing 18 µM 2,4-D and 100 mg L-1 glutamine. The embryogenic calli obtained from the different induction media were transferred to MS medium supplemented with 30 g.L-1 sucrose, 2.4 g.L-1 Phytagel®, 0.53 µM α-naphthalene acetic acid (NAA) and 0.88 µM of 6-benzylaminopurine (BAP). The regenerated plants presented normal growth; however, many embryos did not fully develop.

ABSTRACT

O caroá é uma Bromeliaceae nativa da Caatinga brasileira cujas fibras retiradas das folhas geram trabalho e renda para diversas famílias nordestinas com a fabricação de vários produtos artesanais. A propagação ocorre via sementes, que podem servir como alimento para muitos animais e pássaros. Diante de sua importância econômica regional, a planta do caroá tem sido coletada na caatinga de forma extrativista, já tendo praticamente desaparecido em algumas regiões da Bahia. Objetivou-se, com o desenvolvimento deste trabalho, avaliar o efeito da temperatura e da restrição de água na germinação de sementes de Caroá. A germinabilidade foi avaliada sob as temperaturas de 25, 30, 34 e 37° C, sendo que a temperatura mais favorável à germinação foi utilizada no ensaio seguinte, combinando com diferentes soluções-teste de polietilenoglicol. As maiores taxas de sementes germinadas (> 66 por cento) ocorreram quando as temperaturas do meio eram mais elevadas, sendo que a de 30° C foi a que proporcionou a maior velocidade média de germinação (0,12 dias-1) e índice de velocidade de germinação; por sua vez a germinação decresceu com a diminuição do potencial osmótico do meio. Sob condições de restrição hídrica, as sementes de caroá mostraram capacidade germinativa até o potencial de -0,6 MPa.


Caroá is a native Bromeliaceae of the Brazilian savanna. It generates work and income for many Northeastern families when used as source of fiber for producing craft products. The species can be propagated from seeds and it serves as food for a variety of animals. As a result of its economic importance to the region, the caroá plant has been indiscriminately harvested in the savanna and has practically disappeared in some areas of Bahia State, Brazil. The objective of this research was to study the effect of hydric restriction on the seed germination of caroá, as a proposed means of establishing a cultivation system and more rational production methods. Germination was tested at temperatures of 25, 30, 34 and 37° C, with the optimum temperature for germination used in a subsequent test, combining different test solutions of polyethylene glycol. The highest rates of seed germination (> 66 percent) occurred when the ambient temperature was higher, and 30° C yielded the highest average speed of germination (0.12 day-1) and germination speed index. On the other hand, germination rates decreased as osmotic potential of the environment decreased. Under conditions of hydric restriction, seed germination of caroá showed the potential to reach up to -0.6 MPa.

ABSTRACT

Neoglaziovia variegata (Arr. Cam.) Mez is a Bromeliaceae native to the Caatinga, used for fiber extraction in the Northeast Region of Brazil. The antropic activity has place this species among the threatened ones. The objective of the work was to establish an in vitro propagation and conservation of caroá. Seeds were cultivated in MS medium in the presence or absence of light. In vitro germinated seedlings were multiplied in MS medium supplemented with the combinations 0.05 and 0.50 µM NAA and 2.2 and 4.4 µM BAP and KIN. The best percentages of germination were obtained with the seeds incubated in the presence of light. The highest multiplication ratio was obtained for the NAA (0,5 µM) + BAP (4,4 µM) treatment and the number of roots, with NAA (0.5 µM) + KIN (2.2 µM). Plant acclimatization presented differentiated results regarding the substrates tested. The conservation was established.

O objetivo deste trabalho foi estabelecer uma propagação e conservação in vitro de caroá. Foram cultivadas sementes em meio MS na presença ou ausência de luz. Plântulas germinadas in vitro foram multiplicadas em meio MS suplementado com as combinações de 0,05 e 0.50 µM de NAA e 2.2 e 4.4 µM de BAP e KIN. Foram obtidas as melhores porcentagens de germinação com sementes incubadas na presença de luz. A taxa de multiplicação mais alta foi obtida no tratamento NAA (0,5 µM) + BAP (4,4 µM) e, o número de raízes, com NAA (0.5 µM) + KIN (2.2 µM). Aclimatização das plantas apresentou resultados diferenciados em relação aos substratos testados. A conservação foi estabelecida.
