O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar o potencial germinativo e caracterizar morfoanatomicamente a estrutura foliar de plântulas de pinhão-manso originadas de germoplasma criopreservado. Inicialmente, as sementes foram avaliadas quanto à dessecação, a cada 24 horas, por até 120 horas. Posteriormente, as sementes foram dessecadas por 0, 24 e 48 horas e avaliadas mensalmente quanto ao potencial germinativo, antes e após armazenamento em nitrogênio líquido por imersão direta e congelamento rápido. Para caracterizar a viabilidade das sementes que não germinaram após o período de avaliação, os embriões zigóticos foram imersos em solução de tetrazólio. A morfoanatomia foliar após criopreservação foi caracterizada por meio de estudos histológicos. As sementes de pinhão-manso toleraram a dessecação a níveis críticos e a criopreservação com umidade em torno de 8%. A dessecação das sementes até valores baixos, associada a períodos prolongados de exposição ao nitrogênio líquido, causa anormalidade de plântulas, danifica as células e os tecidos das folhas, e afeta negativamente a germinação.
-The objective of this work was to evaluate the large-scale propagation of grapevine genotypes after short-term storage in vitro. Microshoots from ten grapevine genotypes were used. The following storage temperatures were evaluated: 10, 20, and 25°C. After short-term storage, the shoots were propagated in up to five successive subcultures, to assess the large-scale propagation of the germplasm maintained under conditions of minimal growth. The propagated shoots were rooted in different concentrations of indolbutiric acid (IBA) and acclimatized in greenhouse. The best temperature for short-term storage in vitro and survival of the genotypes was 20°C. In the propagation phase, the highest number of shoots per explant was found in the subcultures 4 and 5, with averages of 4.9 and 4.8 shoots per explant, respectively. In the rooting phase, the best results for number of roots were obtained using a culture medium supplemented with 0.4 µmol L -1 of IBA, with an average of three roots per shoot. During the acclimation phase, a survival rate higher than 95% was achieved after 30 days in the greenhouse. Grapevine genotypes maintained for six months in vitro, at 20 o C, can be micropropagated in large scale.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
