A new variety of Solanum sisymbriifolium obtained by in vitro polyploidization
Abstract Solanum sisymbriifolium is a shrub native to South America and considered a weed of several important crops. Despite this, this species has proven nematicidal capacity and medicinal properties, due to its ability to produce alkaloids. Thus, the objective of this work was to adjust a reliabl...

| Summary: | Abstract Solanum sisymbriifolium is a shrub native to South America and considered a weed of several important crops. Despite this, this species has proven nematicidal capacity and medicinal properties, due to its ability to produce alkaloids. Thus, the objective of this work was to adjust a reliable protocol to obtain in vitro polyploid plants of S. sisymbriifolium to generate germplasm that serves as the basis for a breeding program of this species aimed to improve the sanitary conditions of horticultural crops with less impact on the environment.
Resumo Solanum sisymbriifolium é um arbusto nativo da América do Sul, sendo considerado uma erva daninha para diversas culturas agrícolas. Apesar disto, esta espécie apresenta capacidade nematicida e propriedades medicinais comprovadas devido à produção de alcalóides, com relevante potencial de uso. O objetivo deste trabalho foi obter autoploides sintéticos através da micropropagação e poliploidização in vitro de S. sisymbriifolium, como base para programa de melhoramento, a fim de aprimorar manejo fitossanitário com menor impacto ambiental. |
