Neomitranthes obscura (DC.) N. Silveira is an endemic plant of Brazilian Atlantic Forest and widely spread in the sandbanks of “Restinga de Jurubatiba” National Park. It is popularly known by local population as “camboim-de-cachorro” or “cambuí-preto” and recognized by its black ripe fruits. However, specimens with yellow ripe fruits were localized in the “Restinga de Jurubatiba” National Park. The aim of the present study was to evaluate chemical composition of essential oils obtained from leaves and fruits of N. obscura specimens with different fruit color (black and yellow) by GC and GC-MS. Essential oils from leaves of specimens with black and yellow fruits indicated a predominance of sesquiterpenes (81.1% and 84.8%, resp.). Meanwhile, essential oil from black fruits presented a predominance of monoterpenes (50.5%), while essential oil from yellow fruits had sesquiterpenes (39.9%) as major substances. Despite previous studies about this species, including essential oil extraction, to our knowledge this is the first report on N. obscura fruits with different colors. Our results suggest the occurrence of unless two different varieties for this species.

“…The citrus aroma with a spicy touch of α-selinene sesquiterpene is the most representative component of the cluster, with 1.7% of the total profile emitted by ‘Otto Andersen’ jabuticabas. α -selinene is considered to be one of the characteristic compounds of the aroma of Myrtaceae family species [ 30 , 31 , 32 ], but has also been identified in other botanical families, such as Cyperaceae and Lamiaceae [ 33 , 34 ].…”

Volatile Compounds and Physicochemical Quality of Four Jabuticabas (Plinia sp.)

et al. 2020

The jabuticaba is a native Brazilian fruit that has aroused worldwide interest in terms of its nutritional composition and biological activity. However, research on the profile of volatile compounds (VOCs) emitted by these fruits is rare. This study presents the first identification of VOCs from four jabuticaba species. The aim of the study was to characterize the aromatic profile of the following species: ‘Sabará’ (Plinia jaboticaba), ‘Escarlate’ (Plinia phitrantha × Plinia cauliflora), ‘Otto Andersen’ (Plinia cauliflora), and ‘Esalq’ (Plinia phitrantha). The analysis was performed by headspace solid-phase microextraction combined with gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (SPME-GC-MS). Multivariate analysis techniques applying the partial least squares-discriminant analysis (PLS-DA) and heatmap were used to compare the results. Fruit quality parameters were determined in terms of fresh mass (g), skin color, soluble solids, and titratable acidity. A total of 117 VOCs was identified including terpenoids, esters, alcohols, aldehydes, alkanes, ketones, and carboxylic acids, with 36 VOCs common to all four species. Terpenes were the majority for all jabuticabas with smaller contributions from other volatile classes, especially β-cubebene, β-elemene, and D-limonene for the ‘Otto Andersen’ jabuticaba.

“…galls, the scarcity of lipid droplets and essential oils is attributed to the characteristics of the host plants, P. myrtoides and P. cattleianum . These compounds are common in Myrtaceae ( Ramos et al . 2010 ) and represent a metabolic trait that is not changed due to gall formation, as observed for galls of Aceria lantanae on Lantana camara (Verbenaceae) ( Moura et al .…”

Gradients of metabolite accumulation and redifferentiation of nutritive cells associated with vascular tissues in galls induced by sucking insects

Galls are structures entirely made of plant tissues manipulated by gall-inducing parasites. We analyzed the alterations of cell phenotypes caused by a sucking-insect, Nothotrioza cattleiani, on the leaves of Psidium cattleianum that led to the formation of a globoid gall morphotype. We found changed cell fates in the leaves compared to the galls, and different degrees of cell alterations in gall layers, which formed gradients. Surprisingly, the vascular parenchyma cells on N. cattleiani galls are nutritive. Herein, we show that even though the globoid shape is one of the most common in nature, the galls of N. cattleiani are unique entities.
