Ultra-structural Aspects Of Secretory Canals In Vegetative And Reproductive Organs Of Anacardiaceae [aspectos Ultra-estruturais Dos Canais Secretores Em órgãos Vegetativos E Reprodutivos De Anacardiaceae]

The study assessed phloem canal development and ultra-structure in shoot apices of Spondias dulcis G. Forst., phloematic canal ultra-structure in shoot apices of Tapirira guianensis Aubl., and floral canal ultra-structure and development and fruit canal ultra-structure of the latter specie. The flower and fruit canals of Anacardium humile St.Hil. were also studied ultra-structurally. The canals in shoot apices of S. dulcis show schizo-lysigenous formation and the floral canals of T. guianensis show schizogenous development. Epithelial cells of S. dulcis and T. guianensis canals have rough endoplasmic reticulum, free ribosomes, elongated plastids of several shapes with osmiophilic inclusions and dictyosomes with production of vesicles. Such organelles participate in the secretion of a heterogeneous exudate, which is comprised of hydrophilic and lipophilic substances. The epithelial cells of the fruit of A. humile present elongated plastids with circular membrane system, which are involved in the synthesis of lipophilic substances. The results of the ultra-structural analyses of the epithelial cells corroborate the results previously obtained in a histochemical study. In the histochemical study, lipophilic and hydrophilic substances were identified in the canals of T. guinanensis and S. dulcis and only lipophilic substances were identified in the canals of A. humile. Based on the ultrastructural aspects of the secretory canals of T. guianensis and S. dulcis we concluded that the plastids of the epithelial cells of the two species are different although they produce secretion of similar composition. A new record for the family is the presence of a great number of circular plastids in epithelial cells of the fruit of Anacardium humile. The pattern found in the secretory canals of the studied species is the ecrine type of secretion release.232376388An update of the Angiosperm Phylogeny Group classification for the orders and families of flowering plants: APG II (2003) Botanical Journal of the Linnean Society, 141, pp. 399-436. , Angiosperm Phylogeny Group (APG II)Ascensão, L., Marques, N., Pais, M.S., Peltade glandular trichomes of Leonotis leavesultrastructure and histochemical characterization of secretions (1997) International Journal of Plant Sciences, 158, pp. 249-258Bhatt, J.R., Development and structure of primary secretory ducts in the stem of Commiphora wightii (Burseraceae) (1987) Annals of Botany, 60, pp. 405-416Bhatt, J.R., Mohan Ram, H.Y., Development and ultrastructure of primary secretory ducts in the stem of Semecarpus anacardium (Anacardiaceae) (1992) IAWA Bulletin, 13, pp. 173-185Carmello, S.M., Machado, S.R., Gregório, E.A., Ultrastructural aspects of the secretory duct development in Lithraea molleoides (Vell.)
