Tolerância à dessecação de sementes de espécies de Eugenia

Abstract: Resumo -O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar a tolerância à dessecação de sementes de seis espécies frutíferas nativas de Eugenia (E. brasiliensis Lam., E. cerasiflora Miq., E. involucrata DC., E. pyriformis Camb., E. umbelliflora Berg. e E. uniflora L.) e fornecer subsídios para a conservação do poder germinativo dessas sementes durante o armazenamento. As sementes foram submetidas a secagens progressivas, em estufa (40ºC) e em câmaras com sílica-gel (25ºC), até 10% de água. Após cada secagem, as sementes fo… Show more

“…Seeds of many Brazilian tropical tree species in the genus Eugenia (Myrtaceae) show high water content at shedding and have been considered to be sensitive to desiccation. However, among Eugenia seeds, there are different desiccation sensitivity levels based on the water content, as reported by different authors Anjos and Ferraz 1999;Andrade and Ferreira 2000;Andrade et al 2003;Delgado and Barbedo 2007;Masetto et al 2008). Delgado and Barbedo (2007), for example, identified three different levels of critical water content (described as fresh mass basis) for the seeds of six species of Eugenia, from 65 (the most sensitive seeds) to 45% (the least sensitive seeds).…”

“…Eugenia (Myrtaceae) is an important genus in Brazil comprising species occurring in almost all parts of the country and ecosystems, including the Brazilian Atlantic forest (Salgueiro et al 2004), which is one of the world's 25 biodiversity hotspots for conservation priorities (Myers et al 2000). Several species of this genus are ornamental and besides their ecological use, they could be included as urban trees and for economic or pharmacological aims (Delgado and Barbedo 2007). For example, xanthine oxidase inhibitory activity and antifungal agents used in the treatment of dermatophyte infections were found in E. uniflora (Schmeda-Hirschmann et al 1987;Souza et al 2002).…”

“…Em uma segunda colheita (Instituto de Botânica, São Paulo, SP), sementes recém dispersas foram submetidas a dois níveis de secagem, utilizando-se estufa com circulação forçada de ar; as sementes foram dispostas em prateleiras forradas com tela de polietileno, em camadas simples sem sobreposição (Delgado & Barbedo 2007). A secagem foi intermitente, com 10 horas a 40±1 °C seguidas de 14 horas de repouso.…”

“…São espécies que produzem frutos carnosos, de coloração amarela e vermelha, geralmente com poucas sementes (1-3). A dispersão de suas sementes, na maioria das vezes, ocorre por aves e mamíferos (Gressler et al 2006) e as sementes apresentam comportamento recalcitrante, com diferentes níveis de tolerância à dessecação (Delgado & Barbedo 2007 Andrade & Ferreira 2000).…”

“…(Myrtaceae) é frutífera nativa do Brasil que produz frutos de grande interesse comercial, industrial e farmacológico. Os frutos têm tamanho, forma, cor de casca e sabor atrativos ao consumo in natura, e a composição físico-química de sua polpa oferece grande qualidade organoléptica e nutricional (Scalon et al, 2004a(Scalon et al, , 2004bDelgado & Barbedo, 2007;Oliveira et al, 2010). Diversas espécies de Eugenia apresentam interesse para a exploração industrial.…”
