RESUMOA espécie Lippia alba da família Verbenaceae, aromática e medicinal, é um arbusto nativo com muito vigor e variabilidade genética. O principal interesse dos estudos com esta espécie são os óleos essenciais, cujas funções têm sido comprovadas cientificamente para aplicações nas indústrias de fármacos, cosmética, perfumaria e alimentícia. Apesar desta importância potencial, inexistem pesquisas sobre estimativas de parâmetros genéticos nesta espécie como forma de subsidiar o melhoramento que até o presente momento é incipiente. Este trabalho teve como objetivo, avaliar o potencial genético de Lippia alba, estimando parâmetros genéticos inicialmente em caracteres obtidos em nível de estacas, uma vez que é a forma tradicional de multiplicação da espécie. Os caracteres avaliados foram: sobrevivência (S%), comprimento de brotos (Cb) e massa de brotos (Mb). Nesses estudos iniciais de parâmetros genéticos, envolvendo vigor de estacas, formaram-se três grupos de progênies com tamanhos efetivos de 30, 23 e 7. Excetuando-se S%, obtiveram-se altas herdabilidades, no sentido restrito, para os três tamanhos efetivos, variando de 90,2% a 94,5% para Mb e 95,2 %a 97,1% para Cb. Para S%, os valores de herdabilidade foram moderados, entre 50,0% e 56,0%. Os ganhos genéticos foram semelhantes também nos três grupos de progênies formados, refletindo ampla variabilidade genética mesmo para o grupo de reduzido tamanho efetivo de progênies. As correlações genéticas aditivas foram elevadas (87,9% a 99,9%), com predomínio nas correlações fenotípicas (G% entre 94,1% a 98,8%). Apesar das correlações elevadas de ambiente a proporção destes efeitos ambientais na correlação fenotípica foi baixa (E% entre 1,2% a 5,9%).Palavras-chave: melhoramento, ganho genético, correlações. ABSTRACT GENETIC PARAMETER ESTIMATES OF TRAITS RELATED TO VIGOR OF LIPPIA ALBA CUTTINGSThe species Lippia alba, belonging to the Verbenaceae family, is a vigorous wild bush with aromatic and medicinal properties. Due to the presence of several essential oils, it is used among others, mostly in drugs and cosmetics, perfumes. The species is poorly studied and no genetic parameter is known to help breeding programs. The main purpose of this research was to evaluate survival (S%), branches length (BL) and fresh weight (FW), in three progenies. High heritabilities, (FM 90.2% -94.5%; BL 95.2% -97.1%), in the narrow sense, were observed in all progeny groups, except for S% (50.0% -56.0%). Genetic gains were similar for all three traits, strongly suggesting the presence of large genetic variability. Additive genetic correlations were high (87.9% -98.8%) and predominate in the phenotypic correlations (G% -94.1% -98.8%). Despite the high environmental correlations, their effects on the phenotypic correlations were quite small (E% 1.2 % -5.9%).
The aromatic and medicinal species Lippia alba is vigorous and rugged native to the South America (Atlantic Rainforest). Because it is an allogamous and self-incompatible species, natural populations have high morphological and chemical variability. This work had as objective to conduct a preliminary screening to identify new promising clones from a novel (recombinant) base population of Lippia alba with regard to its agronomic and phytochemical traits, using the linalool oil or chemotype as model. The two superior linalool clones, obtained by collection, were used as controls. Traits evaluated included: dry mass of leaves (DML), oil yield percentage (EOY%), oil production per plant (OP), and linalool percentage (LN%). Forty linalool chemotype clones were evaluated in three experiments, in a random block design with four replicates and four cuttings (clones) per plot. Besides means comparisons, multivariate analysis was used in order to aid in the preliminary selection of clones. There were positive correlations from moderate to strong for DML vs. EOY%, OP vs. EOY% and DML vs. OP. Linalool clones superior or similar to both controls were identified for the DML, EOY%, OP, and LN% traits (univariate analyses), aimed at further validating experimentation. Five distinct groups were defined in the cluster analysis (UPGMA), each containing subgroups as well.Key words: Verbenaceae, oil linalool, genetic divergence, clone selection, plant breeding. Seleção de novos clones de quimiotipo linalol em Lippia alba oriundos de recombinação genéticaResumo A espécie Lippia alba, aromática e medicinal, é nativa da América do Sul (Mata Atlântica) e possui muito vigor e rusticidade. Por ser espécie alógama e autoincompatível, as populações naturais possuem elevada variabilidade morfológica e química. O presente trabalho teve por objetivo realizar uma triagem prévia para identificação de novos clones promissores, oriundos de uma população-base inédita (recombinante) de Lippia alba quanto às características agronômicas e fitoquímicas, tendo como modelo o óleo ou quimiotipo linalol. Como controles, utilizaram-se os dois melhores clones linalol, obtidos por coleta. As características avaliadas foram: massa seca de folhas (MSF), rendimento de óleo (RD%), produção de óleo por planta em g (PO) e porcentagem de linalol (LN%). Foram avaliados 40 clones de quimiotipo linalol em três experimentos em delineamento de blocos ao acaso com quatro repetições e quatro estacas (clones) por parcela. Todos os dados foram obtidos com médias por planta. As médias foram testadas por Scott e Knott a 5% de probabilidade. Para auxiliar na seleção prévia de clones também foi empregada a análise multivariada. Houve correlações positivas moderadas a fortes para MSF x RD%, PO x RD% and MSF x PO. Para as características MSF, RD%, PO e LN% (análises univariadas) identificaram-se clones linalol superiores e semelhantes aos dois controles visando às experimentações posteriores de validação. Na análise de agrupamentos (UPGMA) foram definidos cinco grupos dist...
Lippia alba (Mill.) N.E.Br. is an aromatic and medicinal shrub native to the American continent. Despite its potential as a source of essential oil for the pharmaceutical and cosmetics industries, few selection and genetic improvement studies have been carried out. The aim of this study was to provide genetic information on this species for breeding programs, showing its selection potential, by investigating clonal half-sib progenies. The following characteristics were evaluated per plant: leaf dry mass (LDM), total dry mass (TDM), leaf yield (LY), essential oil yield (EOY) and oil production (OP). Estimates were made for the several genetic parameters including absolute genetic gain at 30% selection intensity, correlations and relative contribution of additive and environmental effects to phenotypic correlation. Two experimental trials on 30 progenies were conducted: one in Campinas, state of São Paulo (SP), Brazil, with two harvests of the aerial part, and one in Monte Alegre do Sul, SP, Brazil, with only one harvest. The trials were conducted in a randomized block design consisting of subplots with three replications, each plot (progeny) consisting of 8 to 15 clonally-replicated plants with subplot harvesting. Variations were detected between progenies and harvests, as well as progeny/harvest interactions in the split plot experiment. High heritability and genetic gains were obtained at both sites for LDM, TDM and OP. The lowest variations among progenies were obtained for LY and EOY, highlighting selection problems. Negative additive genetic correlations were obtained for EOY × LDM, EOY × TDM, LY × TDM and LY × LDM. Selection for LDM resulted in increased oil production per plant (OP), even where there was a negative correlation between LDM × EOY.
