“…Essential oils are volatile compounds, consisting mainly of monoterpenes and sesquiterpenes (Azevedo et al, 2016), and they are products of secondary metabolism of plants. The specialized metabolites can redirect the metabolic route, causing the biosynthesis of different compounds (David et al, 2006;Oliveira et al, 2009).…”

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of light on anatomy, physiology and essential oil content and composition of Varronia curassavica. They were analysed two light conditions (full sunlight and protected environment with 50% shade screen) and five accessions (VCUR-101, VCUR-102, VCUR-201, VCUR-302, VCUR-802). V. curassavicacultivated in full sun presented a greater development of the leaf blade and palisade parenchyma thickness for all accessions. Chlorophyll levels did not differ according to the two light environments. The leaf area was larger in the protected environment. The essential oil yield of the accessions ranged from 0.26 to 0.87 mL/plant in full sun and from 0.34 to 0.53 mL/plant in the protected environment. The composition of the essential oil was influenced by the light and the accession. All accessions presented (E)-caryophyllene and α-humulene. The influence of light on the evaluated variables is genotype dependent.

O objetivo foi avaliar características morfométricas de sementes, germinação e crescimento inicial de plântulas de seis espécies pertencente a família Lamiaceae, endêmicas da região semiárida do nordeste brasileiro e ainda pouco estudadas. Foram obtidos peso, comprimento, largura e conteúdo de água das sementes de Martianthus leucocephalus, Hyptis suaveolens, H. macrostachys, H. platanifolia, Eplingiella fruticosa e E. cuniloides e comparado o efeito da temperatura na germinação e no crescimento inicial de plântulas das três espécies de Hyptis. As Sementes mostraram grande variabilidade; alguns parâmetros podem ser utilizados para fins de identificação de espécies. Sementes de Martianthus leucocephalus apresentaram menores médias para comprimento e largura, enquanto que as maiores medidas forma observadas em H. suaveolens. As temperaturas entre 25 e 30 oC foram as que proporcionaram as maiores porcentagens de germinação e obtenção de plântulas vigorosas. Dentre as espécies estudadas, as sementes de H. suaveolens apresentaram os maiores limites de tolerância térmica.
