RESUMO
Campomanesia adamantiumis a native plant species of Brazilian Cerrado with diverse economic potential and great medicinal importance. Its sexual propagation is impaired by the recalcitrance of its seeds, which prevents effective and profitable propagation. With the purpose of establishing commercial crops and minimizing the extractive use of vegetal resources, the aim of the present study was to induce embryogenic calli in nodal segments of gabirobeira, and to determine and characterize their embryogenic phase through the establishment of a growth curve based on cellular characteristics. Calli were induced using nodal segments inoculated in WPM culture medium without the addition of hormones (control) and with different concentrations of 2,4-D, IAA, IBA, NAA or picloram. Cytochemical and SEM analyses revealed cellular characteristics of the formation of meristematic centers that indicated 4.14 μM of picloram to be the best treatment for induction of embryogenic calli, and demonstrating their embryogenic potential. The treatment was used to establish a callus growth curve, from which it was inferred that calli should be transferred to new culture media on the 28thday to maintain cell viability.

ABSTRACT The aim of this study was to induce and analyze embryogenic calli from two types of explants (leaves and meristems) of the hybrid Eucalyptus grandis x Eucalyptus urophylla. Leaves and meristems of plants kept in a nursery were disinfected and inoculated in Petri dishes containing MS culture medium supplemented with different concentrations of the growth regulator dicamba (1.13, 4.52, and 9.04 µM) and without it. At 60 days of culturing, the calli were analyzed by scanning electron microscopy and at 90 days were evaluated by light microscopy in regard to the embryogenic characteristics of the cells. Different type of calli were induced in leaf explants, designated as Type I with light yellow coloring, Type II with dark yellow coloring, and Type III of brown coloring; however, only Type I had embryogenic characteristics. In the meristematic explants, only one type of callus was induced, and it had embryogenic characteristics. At 90 days of culturing, the formation of somatic embryos in the different embryogenic stages was observed and the formation of procambium, protoderm, and ground meristem tissues. At 150 days of culturing, the concentration of 1.13 µM of dicamba was prominent in the formation of somatic embryos in the different embryogenic stages.
RESUMO
This work studied a new protocol for organogenic calli induction and characterization of the morphology and ultrastructure of callogenesis in leaf explants of Passiflora gibertii N. E. Brown, a native passion fruit species from Brazil. Calli induction was performed in different growth conditions (light and dark), different MS medium salt concentrations (MS and MS half strength) and the presence or absence of coconut water. The leaf explants maintained in the dark were more responsive to bud formation. In order to reduce spending on in vitro culture, the most suitable induction medium for P. gibertii organogenesis could, therefore be the MS half strength salt concentration medium maintained in the dark. The addition of coconut water to the culture medium was essential for both calli induction and bud formation. The morphological and ultrastructural features of the organogenic calli were isodiametric cells, characterized by an organized cellular system, nucleus with prominent nucleoli, presence of starch grains and dense cytoplasm rich in endoplasmic reticulum. The scanning electron microscopy demonstrated that buds were present on these calli.
RESUMO
The objective of this work was to elucidate the growth curve of Eucalyptus camaldulensis Dehn. calli analyzing their anatomical modifications. A sigmoid aspect of the growth curve of the calli fresh matter was observed, with five different phases (lag, exponential, linear, deceleration and decline). In the lag phase, the highest growth percentage 87%, was observed, which reduced during the evaluation period to 17% in the linear phase. As for the anatomical analyses, cellular multiplications was observed during the lag and exponential phases and increase in cell size during the linear phase, promoting the calli volume growth and the establishment of the globular conformation.
RESUMO
A mangabeira (Hancornia speciosa Gomes) destaca-se por possuir um grande potencial como planta frutífera e produtora de borracha. As dificuldades encontradas no seu processo de propagação por meio de sementes, devido, principalmente, à baixa taxa de germinação e à recalcitrância, valorizam a busca por soluções alternativas para a produção de mudas dessa espécie, de maneira rápida e eficiente. Objetivou-se, neste trabalho, realizar o estudo da germinação de sementes de mangabeira em condições in vitro, tendo como precedente a obtenção de explantes, para posterior utilização no cultivo in vitro. Neste estudo foram avaliados os efeitos de diferentes meios de cultura, concentrações de sacarose e GA3 e de três níveis de pH na germinação da mangabeira. Frutos maduros foram coletados, passaram por processo de beneficiamento e tiveram suas sementes retiradas e utilizadas como explantes. Maior porcentagem de germinação de sementes de mangabeira in vitro foi obtida com a utilização dos meios de cultura WPM e MS/2, suplementados com 15,0 g L-1 de sacarose, 0,2 mg L-1 de GA3 e com pH corrigido para 5,8.
The Hancornia speciosa Gomes species presents potential for fruit and rubber production. Propagation is difficult primarily due, to a reduced seed germination and occurrence of recalcitrant seeds that stimulate the search of rapid and efficient propagation alternatives. In this context, the aim of this work was to study in vitro seed germination conditions in order to produce explants to be used on in vitro culture. The effect of different culture media, sucrose and GA3 concentrations and three pH levels were evaluated. Seeds were extracted from mature fruits after being harvested and processed. Higher in vitro germination was obtained using WPM and MS/2 media supplemented with 15.0 g L-1, 0.2 mg L-1 GA3 and pH adjusted to 5.8.
RESUMO
O Inga vera Will subsp. affinis (DC). T.D. Penn. é uma espécie frutífera nativa do Cerrado, importante na recuperação de matas ciliares degradadas. Entretanto, apresenta sua propagação dificultada pelo fato de suas sementes serem recalcitrantes, ou seja, não tolerarem a perda de água. O objetivo deste trabalho foi estudar aspectos da germinação ex vitro e in vitro de ingazeiro. Para tanto, foram avaliados os efeitos de diferentes substratos: areia, Plantmax® e Areia+ Plantmax®; diferentes concentrações de sais: WPM, WPM/2, MS e MS/2, e diferentes concentrações de GA3 (0, 5, 10, 17 e 20 µM) no meio de cultura. Observou-se que, na germinação ex vitro, o substrato Plantmax® proporcionou maior porcentagem de germinação (82 por cento). Com relação à germinação in vitro, a maior percentagem de germinação foi obtida utilizando-se meio de cultura WPM/2 (96 por cento). A adição de GA3 no meio de cultura não foi estatisticamente significativa, no entanto, a concentração de 20 µM de GA3 proporcionou um aumento na germinabilidade de sementes de ingazeiro.
The Inga vera Will subsp. affinis (DC). T.D. Penn. is fruit native specie from cerrado, commonly for recovering devastated areas. However, its propagation is complicated due to the fact that the seeds are recalcitrant and does not support water loss. The objective of this work was to study Inga vera Willd. subsp. affinis (DC.) T.D. Penn. ex vitro and in vitro germination aspects. For this purpose, different substrates: sand, Plantmax® and sand+ Plantmax®; different salt concentrations: WPM, WPM/2, MS and MS/2, and different GA3 concentrations (0, 5, 10, 17 and 20 µM) were evaluated. The results showed that, in the ex vitro germination, the use of Plantmax® provided the highest germination percentage (82 percent). Regarding the in vitro germination, highest percentage was observed using WPM/2 (96 percent). The addition of GA3 was not statistically significant although the concentration of 20 µM promoted an increase in the germination of Inga vera seeds.
