Description
Summary:The increasing use of Vernonia condensata Baker highlights the importance of developing strategies to reduce the impact of exploitation on nature reserves. The aim of this study was to establish a micropropagation protocol to produce homogenous plants with high phytosanitary quality. Apical, nodal, and internodal segments of plants grown in the field were used for in vitro growth. The segments were disinfected in sodium hypochlorite solution (1.0 and 2.0%) for 15 and 30 minutes and then transferred to Petri dishes containing MS culture medium for 30 days. A completely randomizedfactorial experiment (3 * 2 * 2) with five replicates was designed. After this period, a completely randomized in vitro multiplication experiment was carried out with six treatments (BAP--0.0; 0.5; 1.0; 1.5; 2.0; 2.5 mg [L.sup.-1]) and six replicates. The shoots obtained in the best treatment were transferred to flasks with rooting medium (MS, MS/2 or MS/4). The experiment was completely randomized with 12 replicates. Microplants were acclimatized in polyethylene terephthalate (PET) bottles filled with autoclaved topsoil. Our results showed that 40.0% of the nodal segments (immersed in 1.0% sodium hypochlorite for 30 minutes) were adequately disinfected and survived. In the in vitro multiplication experiment, the 0.5 mg [L.sup.-1] concentration of BAP yielded the highest number of shoots and the best vegetative growth. With regard to the assessed characteristics, MS/4 was the best rooting medium, with 100% survival during acclimatization. This study showed that V. condensata in vitro culture might produce 32,000 seedlings in 7 months. Key words: cytokinin, in vitro culture, environmental sustainability. A crescente utilizacao de Vernonia condensata Baker evidencia a importancia de desenvolver estrategias que reduzam o extrativismo nos ambientes naturais. O estudo objetivou estabelecer protocolo de micropropagacao produzindo plantas homogeneas e de alta qualidade fitossanitaria. Foram utilizados, na etapa de estabelecimento in vitro, segmentos apicais, intermodais e nodais de plantas cultivadas no campo. Desinfestados em solucao de hipoclorito de sodio (1,0 e 2,0%) no tempo de 15 e 30 minutos e em seguida introduzidos em placa de Petri, com meio de cultura MS, durante 30 dias. Foi utilizado o delineamento inteiramente casualizado no esquema fatorial (3 * 2 * 2), com cinco repeticoes. Apos este periodo, foi montado o experimento de multiplicacao in vitro, em delineamento inteiramente casualizado com seis tratamentos (BAP--0,0; 0,5; 1,0; 1,5; 2,0; 2,5 mg [L.sup.-1]) e seis repeticoes. As brotacoes obtidas no melhor tratamento foram transferidas para frascos com meio de cultura de enraizamento (MS, MS/2 e MS/4). Esse experimento foi conduzido no delineamento inteiramente casualizado, com 12 repeticoes. A aclimatizacao foi realizada introduzindo as microplantas em garrafas do tipo PET contendo terra vegetal autoclavada. Os resultados mostraram que 40,0% dos segmentos nodais (imersos em 1,0% de hipoclorito de sodio, durante 30 minutos) foram desinfestados e sobreviveram. No experimento de multiplicacao in vitro obteve-se a melhor resposta no numero de brotos e no desenvolvimento vegetativo, na concentracao de 0,5 mg [L.sup.-1] de BAP. O meio de cultura de enraizamento que possibilitou a melhor resposta, nas caracteristicas avaliadas, foi o MS/4. Durante a aclimatizacao obteve-se 100% de plantas sobreviventes, oriundas do meio MS/4. A realizacao desse trabalho permite estimar a obtencao de 32.000 mudas de V. condensata, apos sete meses de cultivo in vitro. Palavras-chave: citocinina, cultivo in vitro, sustentabilidade ambiental.
