In Vitro Plant Regeneration And De Novo Differentiation Of Secretory Trichomes In Passiflora Foetida L. (passifloraceae)
The only species in the genus Passiflora (Passifloraceae) known to produce resin glands is P. foetida. These glands are secretory trichomes mainly present on the floral bracts and leaf stipules. The secretion produced by these glands has received attention recently due to the presence of substances with pharmacological properties. Attempts to apply in vitro cell culture methods for the large scale production of highly valuable metabolites has been rather limited due to the fact that these compounds are produced by highly differentiated secretory cells in trichomes which are seldom obtained or because differentiation is inhibited by in vitro conditions. Here we describe the in vitro plant regeneration of P. foetida obtained via organogenesis, using mature zygotic embryos as explants. Differentiated plantlets and, more important, the de novo differentiation of secretory trichomes in vitro could be observed in less than 30 days. There was a clear effect of the concentration of 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid in the culture media on the regeneration of plants and on the differentiation of glandular trichomes. Our results should be useful for the micropropagation of P. foetida, as well as for studies of the process of secretory trichome differentiation and the implemention of biotechnological methodologies for in vitro mass production of passifloricin and/or other substances present in the P. foetida resin. © 2011 Springer Science+Business Media B.V.10819199Agrawal, A.A., Induced responses to herbivory and increased plant performance (1998) Science, 279, pp. 1201-1202Bandyopadhyay, T., Gangopadhyay, G., Poddar, R., Mukherjee, K.K., Trichomes: their diversity distribution and density in acclimatization of teak (Tectona grandis L.) plants grown in vitro (2004) Plant Cell Tiss Organ Cult, 78, pp. 113-121Becerra, D.C., Forero, A.P., Góngora, G.A., Age and physiological condition of donor plants affect in vitro morphogenesis in leaf explants of Passiflora edulis f. flavicarpa (2004) Plant Cell Tissue Organ Cult, 79, pp. 87-90Bonfill, M., Mangas, S., Moyano, E., Cusido, R.M., Palazón, J., Production of centellosides and phytosterols in cell suspension cultures of Centella asiatica (2011) Plant Cell Tiss Organ Cult, 104, pp. 61-67Braglia, L., de Benedetti, L., Giovannini, A., Nicoletti, F., Bianchini, C., Pepino, L., Mercuri, A., In vitro plant regeneration as a tool to improve ornamental characters in Passiflora species (2010) Acta Hortic, 855, pp. 47-52Dawan, S., Shasany, A.K., Naqvi, A.A., Kumar, S., Khanuja, S.P.S., Menthol tolerant clones of Mentha arvensis: approach for in vitro selection of menthol rich genotypes (2003) Plant Cell Tiss Organ Cult, 75, pp. 87-94Delbarre, A., Muller, P., Imhoff, V., Guern, J., Comparison of mechanisms controlling uptake and accumulation of 2, 4-dichlorophenoxy acetic acid, naphthalene-1-acetic acid, and indole-3-acetic acid in suspension-cultured tobacco cells (1996) Planta, 198, pp. 532-541Dodsworth, S., A diverse and intricate signalling network regulates stem cell fate in the shoot apical meristem (2009) Dev Biol, 336, pp. 1-9Dornelas, M.C., Vieira, M.L.C., Plant regeneration from protoplast cultures of Passiflora edulis var. flavicarpa Deg. and P. cincinnata Mast (1993) Plant Cell Rep, 13, pp. 103-106Dornelas, M.C., Vieira, M.L.C., Tissue culture on species of Passiflora (1994) Plant Cell Tissue Organ Cult, 36, pp. 211-217Dornelas, M.C., Vieira, M.L.C., Appezzato-da-Gloria, B., Histological analysis of organogenesis and somatic embryogenesis induced in immature tissues of Stylosanthes scabra (1992) Ann Bot, 70, pp. 477-482Durkee, L.T., Baird, C.W., Cohen, P.F., Light and electron microscopy of the resin glands of Passiflora foetida (Passifloraceae) (1984) Am J Bot, 71, pp. 596-602Echeverri, F., Arango, V., Quiñones, W., Torres, F., Escobar, G., Rosero, Y., Archbold, R., Passifloricins, polyketides alpha-pyrones from Passiflora foetida (2001) Phytochemistry, 56, pp. 881-885Fernando, J.A., Vieira, M.L., Machado, S.R., Appezzato-da-Glória, B., New insight into the in vitro organogenesis process: the case of Passiflora (2007) Plant Cell Tiss Organ Cult, 91, pp. 37-44Gamborg, O.L., Miller, R.A., Ojima, K., Nutrient requirements of suspension cultures of soybean root cells (1968) Exp Cell Res, 50, pp. 151-158Garcia, R., Pacheco, G., Falcão, E., Borges, G., Mansur, E., Influence of type of explants, plant growth regulators, salt composition of basal medium, and light on callogenesis and regeneration in Passiflora suberosa L.

Species-dependent Divergent Responses To In Vitro Somatic Embryo Induction In Passiflora Spp.
Fundação de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado de São Paulo (FAPESP)Passiflora is a large and widespread genus of tropical plants that includes over 500 species. Organogenesis-based in vitro plant regeneration systems have long been available for the commercially important species Passiflora edulis, the passionfruit, and for a few other related wild species. Recently, somatic embryogenesis from mature zygotic embryos was reported for passionfruit and for a related wild species, P. cincinnata, although the recovery of entire plants was obtained only for the latter. Here we assessed the in vitro morphogenic responses of zygotic embryos of five different Passiflora species (P. alata Curtis, P. crenata Feuillet & Cremers, P. edulis Sims, P. foetida L. and P. gibertii N.E. Brown) cultured in basal Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium supplemented with 4.5 μM 6-benzyladenine (BA) and different concentrations (13.6, 18.1, 22.6 or 27.1 μM) of 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D). We characterized these different responses using light and scanning electron microscopy. Somatic embryos were obtained in MS medium supplemented with 4.5 μM BA and either 13.6 or 18.1 μM 2,4-D for all species, except P. foetida for which only indirect shoot organogenesis was observed. Regeneration of entire plants that could be acclimatized was achieved for all species studied. Additionally, our results indicated that the in vitro conditions that promote somatic embryogenesis in some Passiflora species might induce shoot organogenesis in others, suggesting that the conservation of morphogenetic signals among Passiflora species might be limited by their phylogenetic relatedness.12016977CAPES; Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico; CNPq; Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico; FAPESP; Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e TecnológicoFundação de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado de São Paulo (FAPESP)Ahmadi, B., Shariatpanahi, M.E., da Silva, J.A.T., Efficient induction of microspore embryogenesis using abscisic acid, jasmonic acid and salicylic acid in Brassica napus L (2014) Plant Cell Tiss Organ Cult, 116, pp. 343-351. , COI: 1:CAS:528:DC%2BC3sXhvFGitr7NBecerra, D.C., Forero, A.P., Góngora, G.A., Age and physiological condition of donor plants affect in vitro morphogenesis in leaf explants of Passiflora edulis f. flavicarpa (2004) Plant Cell Tissue Organ Cult, 79, pp. 87-90Braglia, L., De Benedetti, L., Giovannini, A., Nicoletti, F., Bianchini, C., Pepino, L., Mercuri, A., In vitro plant regeneration as a tool to improve ornamental characters in Passiflora species (2010) Acta Hortic, 855, pp. 47-52Dodsworth, S., A diverse and intricate signalling network regulates stem cell fate in the shoot apical meristem (2009) Dev Biol, 336, pp. 1-9. , COI: 1:CAS:528:DC%2BD1MXhtlyrsbfJ, PID: 19782675Dornelas, M.C., Vieira, M.L.C., Plant regeneration from protoplast cultures of Passiflora edulis var. flavicarpa Deg. and P. cincinnata Mast (1993) Plant Cell Rep, 13, pp. 103-106. , COI: 1:CAS:528:DyaK2cXltVChtr4%3D, PID: 24196297Dornelas, M.C., Vieira, M.L.C., Tissue culture on species of Passiflora (1994) Plant Cell Tissue Organ Cult, 36, pp. 211-217. , COI: 1:CAS:528:DyaK2cXkslynurs%3DDornelas, M.C., Vieira, M.L.C., Appezzato-da-Gloria, B., Histological analysis of organogenesis and somatic embryogenesis induced in immature tissues of Stylosanthes scabra (1992) Ann Bot, 70, pp. 477-482. , COI: 1:CAS:528:DyaK3sXhsVelsrk%3DDornelas, M.C., Fonseca, T.C., Rodriguez, A.P.M., Brazilian passionflowers and novel passionate tropical flowering gems (2006) Floriculture ornamental and plant biotechnology, pp. 629-639. , Silva JAT, (ed), 4, Global Science Books, London:Dubas, I.Z.E., Krzewska, M., Sánchez-Díaz, R.A., Castillo, A.M., Vallés, M.P., Changes in gene expression patterns associated with microspore embryogenesis in hexaployd triticale (xTriticosecale Wittm.)

Aspects Of The Reproductive Biology Of Brassavola Cebolleta Rchb.f. (orchidaceae) [aspectos Da Biologia Reprodutiva De Brassavola Cebolleta Rchb. F. (orchidaceae)]
This survey assessed some aspects of the reproductive biology of Brassavola cebolleta Rchb. f. (Orchidaceae) in the Municipality of Dourados, Mato Grosso do Sul State, Brazil. Floral biology, breeding systems, floral visitors and seed germination were analyzed. Differential success and fruit production rate were calculated. Pollination system indicated the pollen vector dependence and absence of pre-zygotic barriers related to selfincompatibility. Pollination occurred at night, being the potential pollen vector a Lepidoptera-Notodontidae of the genus Hemiceras. Differential success of male was 19%, female 9%, and the rate of effective fructification was 6.3%. Fruits produced after pollinator visits were larger than those generated by manual cross pollination, and despite the lower number of potentially viable seeds produced by the first, they presented a higher germination rate in asymbiotic media. This study warns to the vulnerability of the studied species, since the habitat fragmentation associated with pollinator scarcity and seed predation may significantly decrease new recruitment into populations.324335341Ackerman, J.D., Oliver, J.C., Reproductive biology of Oncidium variegatum: Moon phases, pollination, and fruit set (1985) American Orchid Society Bulletin, 54 (3), pp. 326-329Aguilar, R., Ashworth, L., Galetto, L., Aizen, M.A., Plant reproductive susceptibility to habitat fragmentation: Review and synthesis through a meta-analysis (2006) Ecology Letters, 9 (8), pp. 968-980Bondar, G., Notas entomológicas da Bahia.

Pmtcp1 Encodes A Putative Tcp Transcription Factor And Is Differentially Expressed During In Vitro Organogenesis In Passiflora
The genus Passiflora includes economically important passion fruits and over 600 other wild species. Micropropagation of Passiflora species is far from routine due to low regeneration frequencies and multiplication rates, so there is great interest in understanding the molecular control of the in vitro regeneration processes of these species. Here, we report the characterization of a Passiflora morifolia gene encoding PmTCP1, a putative TCP transcription factor that showed high sequence similarity to Arabidopsis class I TCPs. The expression patterns of the PmTCP1 gene during in vitro organogenesis and callus growth revealed differential expression of PmTCP1 modulated by different combinations of auxin and cytokinin concentrations in the culture medium. At a constant auxin concentration, cytokinin increased PmTCP1 expression, and at a constant cytokinin concentration, auxin repressed PmTCP1 expression. We also observed a correlation between PmTCP1 expression and the in vitro organogenesis of roots and shoots. We expect that these results will increase our understanding of the molecular networks and environmental signals that modulate the processes of organogenesis during plant development. © 2013 The Society for In Vitro Biology.5013644Altschul, S.F., Madden, T.L., Schäffer, A.A., Zhang, J., Zhang, Z., Miller, W., Lipman, D.J., Gapped BLAST and PSI-BLAST: a new generation of protein database search programs (1997) Nucleic Acids Res., 25, pp. 3389-3402Artimo, P., Jonnalagedda, M., Arnold, K., Baratin, D., Csardi, G., de Castro, E., Duvaud, S., Stockinger, H., ExPASy: SIB bioinformatics resource portal (2012) Nucleic Acids Res., 40 (W1), pp. W597-W603Cubas, P., Lauter, N., Doebley, J., Coen, E., The TCP domain: a motif found in proteins regulating plant growth and development (1999) Plant J., 18, pp. 215-222Cutri, L., Dornelas, M.C., PASSIOMA: Exploring expressed sequence tags during flower development in Passiflora spp (2012) Comp Funct Genomics, 2012, p. 510549Danisman, S., van der Wal, F., Dhondt, S., Waites, R., de Folter, S., Bimbo, A., van Dijk, A.D.J., Immink, R.G.H., Arabidopsis class I and class II TCP transcription factors regulate jasmonic acid metabolism and leaf development antagonistically (2012) Plant Physiol., 159, pp. 1511-1523Doebley, J., Stec, A., Hubbard, L., The evolution of apical dominance in maize (1997) Nature, 386, pp. 485-488Dornelas, M.C., Fonseca, T.C., Rodriguez, A.P.M., Brazilian passionflowers and novel passionate tropical flowering gems (2006) Floriculture, Ornamental and Plant Biotechnology, 4, pp. 629-639. , J.

Germinação assimbiótica e desenvolvimento de Dendrobium nobile Lindl. sob efeito de reguladores vegetais no tratamento pré-germinativo Asymbiotic germination and development of Dendrobium nobile Lindl. under the effect of plant growth regulators in pre-germinative treatment
O presente trabalho teve como objetivo estudar a influência dos reguladores vegetais BAP e GA3 como tratamentos pré-germinativos no processo de germinação e desenvolvimento inicial de plântulas de Dendrobium nobile, espécie importante pelas propriedades farmacológicas como anti-oxidante, vasodilatadora e até mesmo anti-cancerígena, além do valor ornamental. Os tratamentos pré-germinativos consistiram de BAP e GA3, separadamente, nas concentrações de 0,0; 1,0; 2,0 e 5,0 mg L-1. Após seis meses da semeadura in vitro e manutenção em câmara de germinação e de crescimento com temperatura e foto-período controlados (12 horas e 23ºC ± 2), foram avaliados os parâmetros número de sementes germinadas, porcentagem de germinação, massa fresca e altura das plântulas, diâmetro e número de pseudobulbos, número de folhas, número de raízes, e o comprimento da maior raiz. O delineamento experimental foi inteiramente casualizado. Todas as variáveis foram submetidas à análise de variância e de regressão, quando significativas. As sementes de D. nobile germinaram melhor na ausência de reguladores vegetais e os tratamentos com BAP ou GA3 na embebição das sementes pouco beneficiaram o desenvolvimento in vitro de D. nobile.The present study aimed to investigate the influence of plant growth regulators BAP and GA3 as pre-germinative treatment in the process of germination and initial development of seedlings of Dendrobium nobile, a species important for its pharmacological properties like antioxidant, vasodilator and even anticancer, besides its ornamental value. Pre-germinative treatments consisted of BAP and GA3, separately, at the concentrations of 0.0; 1.0; 2.0 and 5.0 mg L-1. At six months after in vitro sowing and maintenance in a germination and growth chamber with controlled temperature and photoperiod (12 hours and 23ºC ± 2), the following parameters were evaluated: number of germinated seeds, percentage of germination, fresh mass and height of seedlings, number and diameter of pseudo-bulbs, number of leaves, number of roots, and length of the largest root. The experimental design was completely randomized. All variables underwent analysis of variance and regression analysis when significant. D. nobile seeds presented better germination in the absence of plant growth regulators and the treatments with BAP or GA3 in seed imbibition little benefited D. nobile in vitro development
Espaçamentos entre plantas e cobertura do solo com cama-de-frango na produção da bardana (Arctium lappa L.)
O objetivo do trabalho foi estudar o crescimento, o desenvolvimento e a produção da bardana em resposta a cinco espaçamentos entre plantas (40,0; 47,5; 55,0; 62,5 e 70,0 cm) e ao uso (CCF) ou não (SCF) de cobertura de solo com cama-de-frango semidecomposta. Os dez tratamentos foram arranjados como fatorial 5x2, no delineamento experimental blocos casualizados, com quatro repetições. As plantas foram propagadas inicialmente em berços de isopor e, posteriormente, em canteiros, arranjadas em fileiras duplas, espaçadas de 0,50 m entre fileiras simples e 1,0 m entre fileiras duplas. As avaliações de altura foram feitas a partir de 30 dias até 180 dias quando foi feita a colheita. As médias de altura (172 cm) e área foliar (20.704 cm-2) das plantas e as médias de comprimento (23,6 cm) e diâmetro das raízes (16,2 mm) não foram influenciadas significativamente pelos espaçamentos nem pela cobertura ou não do solo. Os maiores e menores valores para massas fresca (25.676 kg ha-1 e 15.217 kg ha-1) e seca (1.941,02 kg ha-1 e 1.104,61 kg ha-1) de folhas, para o número de raízes (490.750 ha-1 e 272.120 ha-1) e para as massas fresca (5.080,35 kg ha-1 e 3.546,25 kg ha-1) e seca (1.448,91 kg ha-1 e 1.051,31 kg ha-1) de raízes foram encontrados com os espaçamentos de 40,0 cm e de 70,0 cm entre plantas, respectivamente, mostrando decréscimo linear na medida em que aumentaram os espaçamentos. Os teores de nitrogênio (N) e de fósforo (P), respectivamente, nas massas secas de folhas (12,84 g kg-1 e 0,33 g kg-1) e de raízes (4,11 g kg-1 e 0,13 g kg-1) de bardana não foram influenciados significativamente pelos espaçamentos, mas sim pela cobertura ou não do solo com cama-de-frango
Desenvolvimento de mudas de manjericão (Ocimum basilicum L.)em função do recipiente e do tipo e densidade de substratos
Uma das etapas mais importantes na produção do manjericão é o desenvolvimento das mudas. Nesta etapa, o cuidado com o recipiente e o substrato é essencial, pois afetam diretamente o crescimento e a arquitetura do sistema radicular, bem como, o fornecimento de nutrientes. Assim, o objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar o desenvolvimento de mudas de manjericão (Ocimum basilicum L.) influenciadas pelo tipo e densidade de diferentes substratos, cultivadas em bandejas de poliestireno com diferentes números de células. O experimento foi conduzido na área de Jardinocultura da Universidade Federal da Grande Dourados (UFGD) em Dourados - MS. O delineamento experimental utilizado foi em blocos casualizados com cinco repetições, sendo os tratamentos dispostos em esquema fatorial 3x3x5, sendo três tipos de bandejas de poliestireno expandido com 72, 128 e 200 células com volumes internos de 124,3; 44,8 e 17,7 mL, respectivamente. Três tipos de substratos comerciais (PlantMax Florestais®; Tropstrato Vida Verde® e PlantMax Hortaliças HA®), e cinco densidades de substratos (0,36; 0,42; 0,48; 0,54 e 0,60 kg dm-3). Decorridos 78 dias após a emergência das plantas avaliou-se alturas das plantas, massa fresca e seca da parte aérea e sistema radicular, e comprimento de raízes. A produção de mudas comerciais de manjericão (Ocimum basilicum L.) foi melhor com o uso do substrato Tropstrato Vida Verde® na bandeja de 72 células associado com a densidade de 0,47 kg dm-3
Análise de coberturas com telhas de barro e alumínio, utilizadas em instalações animais para duas distintas alturas de pé-direito The analysis of ceramic tile and aluminum covers, used in animal facilities for two different foot-right heights
Este trabalho teve como objetivo a análise de coberturas com telhas de barro e alumínio, comumente utilizadas em instalações animais, para duas distintas alturas de pé-direito, em condições de inverno no Brasil. O experimento foi realizado com modelos reduzidos de galpões avícolas, escala 1:10, e a análise foi feita quantificando-se a Carga Térmica de Radiação (CTR) e o Índice de Temperatura de Globo Negro e Umidade (ITGU) em diferentes horários, ao longo do período experimental. O experimento foi montado segundo um esquema de parcelas subdivididas, no delineamento em blocos casualizados. A interpretação estatística dos dados experimentais foi feita por meio da análise de variância e regressão. Para os fatores qualitativos (tipos de cobertura e pé-direito) as médias foram comparadas utilizando-se o teste de Tukey e/ou F, adotando-se o nível de 5% de probabilidade; já para o fator quantitativo, os modelos foram escolhidos com base na significância dos coeficientes de regressão, utilizando-se o teste t em nível de 5% de probabilidade, o coeficiente de determinação e o fenômeno em estudo. Verificou-se, através deste experimento, que nas horas de frio mais intenso todas as coberturas causaram desconforto térmico e todos os protótipos tiveram UR acima do máximo tolerável para o conforto animal.<br>This research had as objective the analysis of ceramic tiles and aluminum roof, commonly used in animal facilities, for two different heights, under Brazilian Winter conditions. The experiment used reduced models of poultry houses (scale 1:10) and the analysis was made by the values of Thermal Load of Radiation (TLR) and of Black Globe and Humidity Index (BGHI), at different times along the experiment. The trial was conducted in randomized complete block design. The statistical interpretation of the experimental data was made through the variance and regression analysis. For the qualitative factors (roof types and height), the means were compared using the Tukey's and/or F test, at 5% level of probability. For the quantitative factors, the models were chosen based on the significance of the regression coefficients, applying the t test, at 5% level of probability, the determination coefficient and the studied phenomena. It was verified through this experiment that during the hours of more intense cold, all the coverings caused thermal discomfort and all the prototypes had relative humidity above the tolerable maximum for the animal comfort
