Reproductive biology of endemic Solanum melissarum Bohs (Solanaceae) and updating of its current geographic distribution as the basis for its conservation in the Brazilian Cerrado

Abstract: The genus Solanum (family Solanaceae) includes more than 1400 species and has buzz-pollinated flowers with poricidal anthers. The present study aimed to describe the distribution, breeding system and pollination mechanism of Solanum melissarum, a species endemic to Brazil. The study of breeding system was conducted in an urban forest fragment in Jataí, GO. Distribution data were gathered from floristic surveys and digital plant databases. The floral morphology and the pollination mechanism were studied on thro… Show more

“…The family Solanaceae has 2,300 species, including many therapeutic (Solanum sessiliflorum Dunal) and economically important species, such as tomato, potato, and various peppers. The genus consists of herbs, shrubs, trees, lianas, or rarely epiphytes distributed throughout the world but is most abundant and widely distributed in Latin America's tropical regions, mainly found in the Amazon forest [39,40].…”

“…No Brasil, estudos de biologia reprodutiva tendem a abranger simultaneamente vários aspectos tais como fenologia, morfologia floral, mecanismos de polinização, sistema reprodutivo e interação com visitantes florais (FERREIRA; CONSOLARO, 2013;COBRA et al, 2015;BELTRÁN-RODRÍGUEZ et al, 2015;ANDRICH et al, 2016;COELHO et al, 2017). Na Amazônia, estudos da fenologia de espécies florestais têm se revelado fundamentais para o melhor entendimento da dinâmica florestal quanto à manutenção e perpetuação de seus indivíduos, evidenciando características fenológicas únicas das espécies (CAMPOS et al, 2013;FREITAS et al, 2013).…”
