This species is a new oilseed crop that has been incorporated into the agricultural activity in the Amazon (Cachique et al., 2011) due to the high contents of unsaturated fatty acids in its seeds (Chirinos et al., 2013) and to its potential for pharmaceutical and nutritional uses.Sacha inchi can be grown in degraded soils, generating positive environmental impacts. However, because it is a cross-pollinated crop, its propagation through seeds generates heterogeneous plants, making the expansion of new planting areas difficult (Cachique, 2006). Therefore, genetic improvement is necessary to make commercial exploitation feasible, especially regarding seed quality (Oliveira et al., 2013).Since sacha inchi propagation is mainly by seeds and not by asexual pathway, vegetative propagation would be a good tool to support breeding programs, particularly those that use wild relatives of the species (Cachique et al., 2011; Bordignon et al., 2012; Solis et al., 2017). This way, it would be possible to optimize the direct benefits of selected genotypes, with resistance to pests and diseases, high yields, and high oil content. For sacha inchi, vegetative propagation through root cuttings in sub-irrigation propagators has been carried out using 0.2% indolebutyric acid (IBA) as a hormonal inductor, 8-cm cuttings (base or middle of the plant) with leaf areas of 50 or 100 cm2, and medium-textured sand as substrate (Cachique et al., 2011).The use of tissue culture is an alternative for the clonal propagation of sacha inchi. It allows the selection of genetic material, handling large volumes of seedlings in small spaces, and maintaining a 1286 R. Solis et al.Pesq. agropec. bras., Brasília, v.53, n.11, p.1285-1288, Nov. 2018 DOI: 10.1590/S0100-204X2018001100012 stock of disease-free plants. Studies have shown that apical segments obtained from seeds germinated in vitro formed shoots by direct organogenesis in the Murashige & Skoog (MS) media, using 1.0 mg L-1 benzylaminopurine (BAP) and 0.1 mg L-1 IBA (Bordignon et al., 2012). Nodal segments were also rooted in the modified MS media (half concentration of NH4NO3 and KNO3) supplemented with 2.0 mg L-1 naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA) and 1.0 mg L-1 IBA (Millones & Vásquez, 2008). Field evaluations showed an increase in productivity and no genetic variability in plants propagated through in vitro culture, compared with those propagated by seeds (Viegas Rodrigues et al., 2014).The objective of this work was to evaluate hormonal balance in the phases of the in vitro organogenesis of apical meristems of sacha inchi.The apical buds used in the study were obtained from plants germinated in a greenhouse. In a laminar flow chamber, they were disinfected with alcohol 70% for 60 s and NaOCl 1% for 10 min, and then rinsed three times with sterile distilled water. With the aid of the SZ2 Olympus stereo microscope (Leco Corporation, Saint Joseph, MI, USA), sterilized tweezers and scalpels, the meristems were extracted from the apical buds and inoculated in the in vitro establishment phase. In all phases (establishment, multiplication, and rooting), glass flasks, each containing 20 mL culture medium, were used. The explants were incubated under a photoperiod of 16 hours of light and 8 hours of darkness, average temperature of 24°C, relative humidity of 46%, and light intensity of 2,000 lux.The aim of the establishment phase was to determine the best concentration of BAP and NAA for the in vitro establishment of apical meristems. The culture media used included MS salts, MS vitamins (Murashige & Skoog, 1962), 0.4 mg L-1 ascorbic acid, 30 g L-1 sucrose, three concentrations of BAP (0.00, 0.05, and 0.10 mg L-1), and three concentrations of NAA (0.00, 0.01, and 0.05 mg L-1). Nine treatments were carried out, with five replicates per treatment and four explants per replicate.In the multiplication phase, the effect of three concentrations of BAP (0.10, 0.25, and 0.50 mg L-1) and of three concentrations of NAA (0.00, 0.10, and 0.25 mg L-1) was evaluated, totaling nine treatments, with five replicates per treatment and four explants per replicate. The shoots used were obtained in the establishment phase, and the basal culture media were the same as in the previous phase.For rooting, the shoots used were obtained in the multiplication phase, and the culture media included modified MS salts (half concentration of NH4NO3 and KNO3) (Millones & Vásquez, 2008), MS vitamins, two concentrations of NAA (0.5 and 2.0 mg L-1), three concentrations of IBA (0.5, 1.0, and 2.0 mg L-1), and 30 g L-1 sucrose. In this case, six treatments were performed, with five replicates per treatment and three explants per replicate.Evaluations in each phase were carried out five weeks after the explants were transferred to the culture media. A completely randomized design was used. The data were subjected to the analysis of variance, and means were compared by Tukey’s test, at 5% probability.Since the endogenous concentration of auxins is not enough when meristems are used in in vitro propagation, the exogenous addition of this growth regulator is required (Solis L. et al., 2011). The interaction of different concentrations of BAP and NAA influenced the number and height of shoots in the in vitro establishment of apical meristems. Sprouting began 14 days after the apical meristems were transferred to the culture media, and the use of 0.10 mg L-1 BAP and 0.05 mg L-1 NAA allowed obtaining 14.55-mm seedlings with 1.4 shoots. Purkayastha et al. (2010) observed that the use of BAP in the in vitro regeneration of physic nut (Jatropha curcas L.) shoot apices was the most effective, and that 2.5 μmol L-1 induced an average of 6.2 shoots per apex. In the present study, the treatment without growth regulators resulted in smaller seedlings; therefore, the exogenous addition of auxins was required for the in vitro establishment of apical meristems of sacha inchi.The obtained results are indicative that an adequate balance between cytokinins and auxins in the culture media is necessary for the development of seedlings from apical meristems (Solis L. et al., 2011). This balance depends on the growth regulators added to the culture media (Bordignon et al., 2012) and on their endogenous concentration in the explant, which varies according to the species and type of explant (Pedroza-Manrique & Mican-Gutiérrez, 2006). The increase in the concentration of growth regulators also increased the sprouting percentage of the apical In vitro propagation of sacha inchi through 1287Pesq. agropec. bras., Brasília, v.53, n.11, p.1285-1288, Nov. 2018DOI: 10.1590/S0100-204X2018001100012 segments of sacha inchi (Bordignon et al., 2012). In the present study, higher concentrations of growth regulators induced the sprouting of axillary buds and allowed obtaining larger seedlings with more shoots. Apical meristems, as an initial explant, were also used in other species, such as papaya (Carica papaya L.), with positive results to initiate an in vitro propagation process (Solis L. et al., 2011), as verified in the present work.The proliferation of axillary buds is possible with the addition of cytokinins to the culture media, in order to break the apical dominance and stimulate bud sprouting in leaf axils (Saucedo et al., 2008). In the multiplication phase, five weeks after the shoots were transferred to the culture media, the best seedling development was observed with the combination of 0.10 mg L-1 BAP and 0.25 mg L-1 NAA (Table 1). Similarly, after nine weeks of in vitro culture, the apical segments of sacha inchi developed shoots by direct organogenesis at the concentrations of 0.5 and 1.0 mg L-1 BAP associated with 0.1 mg L-1 IBA (Bordignon et al., 2012).The use of BAP positively affected the shoot formation of sacha inchi (Bordignon et al., 2012) and other species of the Euphorbiaceae family, such as Phyllanthus caroliniensis Walter (Catapan et al., 2000). However, high concentrations of BAP suppressed shoot formation of sacha inchi (Bordignon et al., 2012), since, when the concentration of this cytokinin was increased, smaller plants were obtained; the best results were related to the use of 0.10 mg L-1 BAP. Despite the important role of cytokinins, the addition of auxins was necessary to stimulate shoot growth, and the use of 0.25 mg L-1 NAA allowed obtaining larger seedlings with more shoots (Table 1).The role of auxins in the induction and growth of roots is well known; therefore, this hormone has been used in the rooting culture media (Millones & Vásquez, 2008; Bordignon et al., 2012) and in the rooting induction of cuttings in sub-irrigation propagators of sacha inchi (Cachique et al., 2011) and wild relatives (Solis et al., 2017). The treatment containing 0.5 mg L-1 NAA and 2.0 mg L-1 IBA presented the highest percentage of rooting (73.33%) and allowed the development of higher quality seedlings (Table 2). Bordignon et al. (2012) found that the use of 0.5 mg L-1 IBA allows an adequate root development in apical segments. These results contrast with those obtained by Millones & Vásquez (2008), who reported that NAA is more effective than IBA in the in vitro rooting of sacha inchi. It should be noted that the roots developed in vitro are not fully functional due to the scarcity of absorbent hairs. According to Solis L. et al. (2011), the formation of many large roots will induce the development of new roots and absorbent hairs in ex vitro conditions during the acclimatization process. In the present study, a greater number of large roots was obtained when using 0.5 mg L-1 NAA and 2.0 mg L-1 IBA (Table 2).Table 1.

In the multiplication phase, the seedlings with more shoots and nodes per shoot were obtained with 0.1 mg L-1 BAP and 0.25 mg L-1 NAA. The highest percentage of rooting (73.33%) was a result of the association of 0.5 mg L-1 NAA and 2.0 mg L-1 IBA. Therefore, the use of the in vitro culture technique for the production of sacha inchi seedlings is feasible when apical meristems are used as an initial explant.ReferencesBORDIGNON, S.R.; AMBROSANO, G.M.B.; VIEGAS RODRIGUES, P.H.
