Campomanesia adamantium is a native plant species of Brazilian Cerrado with diverse economic potential and great medicinal importance. Its sexual propagation is impaired by the recalcitrance of its seeds, which prevents effective and profitable propagation. With the purpose of establishing commercial crops and minimizing the extractive use of vegetal resources, the aim of the present study was to induce embryogenic calli in nodal segments of gabirobeira, and to determine and characterize their embryogenic phase through the establishment of a growth curve based on cellular characteristics. Calli were induced using nodal segments inoculated in WPM culture medium without the addition of hormones (control) and with different concentrations of 2,4-D, IAA, IBA, NAA or picloram. Cytochemical and SEM analyses revealed cellular characteristics of the formation of meristematic centers that indicated 4.14 μM of picloram to be the best treatment for induction of embryogenic calli, and demonstrating their embryogenic potential. The treatment was used to establish a callus growth curve, from which it was inferred that calli should be transferred to new culture media on the 28th day to maintain cell viability

Faced with the demand for plants potted for their foliage, Anthurium maricense is seen as a viable option. However, most of the studies on obtaining micropropagated plantlets are for A. andraeanum, with nothing yet reported for A. maricense. The aim of this study therefore, was to evaluate the effect of four cytokinins in different concentrations, on the in vitro induction of shoots from nodal segments of A. maricense. The experimental design was completely randomised in a 4 x 4 factorial scheme, with four cytokinins (BAP, ZEA, CIN and 2iP) and 4 concentrations (0, 2.22, 4.44 and 6.66 μM), for a total of 16 treatments, with 6 replications of five test tubes, and using one nodal segment. Cultures were kept in a growth room at 25 ± 2°C, a photoperiod of 16 h and a light intensity of 30 μmolm-2 s-1 for 60 days. After this period, the number of shoots formed per node was evaluated. The addition of a cytokinin to the culture medium was determinant for the in vitro regeneration of shoots in A. maricense. The greatest estimated number of shoot formations in A. maricense were obtained in the culture media containing ZEA (3.87) and BAP (3.30), both at concentration of 6.66 μM.

Culture medium requirements for micropropagation of Isoplexis chalcantha was achieved for the first time after high degree of contamination and phenolic exudates were detected and solved. Cultures were established from axillary shoots using juvenile branches collected from this medicinal plant. Most satisfying results were obtained using a solidified and a modified MS medium (NO3- : NH4+ ratios) enriched with ascorbic acid or soluble PVP plus GA3, BAP and NAA. Explants (nodal segments) were used for in vitro shoots multiplication and best results were achieved with modified MS plus BAP and auxins. Vigorous shoots rooted without symptoms in the half-strength modified MS enriched with low concentration of IBA. Key words: Isoplexis chalcantha, axillary shoots, contamination, phenolic exudates, culture media, NO3- : NH4+ ratios D.O.I. 10.3329/ptcb.v18i2.3395 Plant Tissue Cult. & Biotech. 18(2): 131-137, 2008 (December)

The tamarind tree (Tamarindus indica L.) is a common tree in tropical countries with a great exploitation potential due to its high nutritional value and important pharmaceutical characteristics, justifying its potential as a promising crop. The scarcity of scientific studies of the species, especially on propagation, hinders its availability and, consequently, the supply of the product in the market. The aim of this study was to verify the obtainment of nodal segments via sexual propagation and the in vitro establishment of sweet tamarind in MS culture medium (25, 50, 75 and 100% of salts) and with or without activated charcoal (2 g.L-1). The experiment was carried out in a completely randomized design in a 2 x 4 factorial scheme (presence and absence of activated carbon x salt concentrations), with 25 replicates, each replicate consisting of a test tube with an inoculated explant. According to the results, it is possible to conclude that from seedlings with 45 days after sowing, nodal segments of sweet tamarind are obtained for in vitro establishment. As a precursor of protocol for in vitro formation of healthy seedlings is indicated the use of MS culture medium with 75 % of the salts and added with 2 gL-1 of activated charcoal to reduce the contamination index.

<p>O trabalho teve como objetivo desenvolver um protocolo de micropropagação de segmentos nodais de anador (<em>Justicia pectoralis</em>). Para isso foram realizados dois experimentos. O delineamento estatístico utilizado foi o inteiramente casualizado, com 15 repetições. Os segmentos de <em>J. pectoralis</em>, após desinfestados, foram cultivados em meio MS durante 30 dias. No primeiro experimento, esse material foi repicado em três meios de cultura (MS, WPM e B5) e após 77 dias foram avaliados comprimento de plântula, número de raízes, número de folhas e o número de segmentos nodais. Para o segundo experimento foram testadas duas citocininas (BAP e Cinetina) nas seguintes dosagens 0,0; 0,5; 5,0 e 20,0 mM. Aos 60 dias após a repicagem foram avaliadas as seguintes características: números de folhas, número de raízes e número de explantes por planta. O meio MS foi o que apresentou maior comprimento de plântula. As demais variáveis não diferiram entre os meios utilizados. Por isso o meio MS foi utilizado para o segundo experimento onde se verificou que a utilização de BAP proporcionou maior número de folhas e de explantes quando submetido à concentração de 20 mM. Dessa forma, para multiplicação de seg <em>Justicia pectoralis</em>, recomenda-se a utilização de meio MS com adição de 20mM de BAP.</p><p align="center"><strong><em>In vitro propagation of </em></strong><em>Justicia pectoralis<strong></strong></em></p><p><strong>Abstract</strong><strong>: </strong>The study aimed to establish a micropropagation protocol for <em>Justicia pectoralis</em> nodal segments. Two experiments were conducted. The statistical design was the completely randomized with 15 repetitions. After disinfestation, the segments of <em>J. pectoralis</em> were inoculated in the MS culture medium for 30 days. In the first experiment, the plant material was transferred to three culture media (MS, WPM and B5). The length of seedlings, number of roots, number of leaves, and number of nodal segments were evaluated at 77 days after transferring. In the second experiment two cytokinins (BAP and Kinetin) were tested in the following concentrations: 0.0; 0.5; 5.0 and 20.0 mM. At 60 days after transplanting the number of leaves, number of roots and number of explants per plant were evaluated. The MS medium induced the highest length of seedlings, but there was no effect for the other variables. Therefore, this medium was used for the second experiment, when it was found that BAP induced a larger number of leaves and explants when applied at 20 mM. Therefore, for multiplying <em>J. pectoralis</em> nodal segments we recommend the use of MS medium with 20 mM BAP.</p>

Adding silicon to the culture medium may contribute, to improve many growth parameters including embryogenesis and organogenesis. The objective of this study was to evaluate the embryogenic potential of passion fruit in vitro (Passiflora edulis f. Flavicarpa O. Deg), submitted to different concentrations of silicon. Nodal segments of plants were inoculated at five concentrations of silicic acid added to the culture medium, 0.0; 0.5; 1.0; 1.5 and 2.0 g L-1. After 60 days, the visual characteristics (% contamination, callus, bud, root and oxidation), cytochemical test and microanalysis of X-rays evaluated. Concentrations of 0.5; 1.0 and 2.0 g L-1 of silicon did not differ in relation to callus formation. By the cytochemical test, all treatments presented embryogenic cells indicated by the reaction to acetic Carmine and, little reaction to the Evans blue associated with cell death. By the microanalysis of X-rays, the nutrients sulfur and phosphorus, presented significant absorption responses at the concentration of 1.5 g L-1 of silicon in comparison to the other concentrations. The silicon added to the culture medium has a response in the formation of cells with embryogenic potential in nodal segments of passion fruit. The concentration of 2.0 g L-1 of silicon acid (H4SiO4) has a high embryogenic potential in passionflower cells, Passiflora edulis f. Flavicarpa O. Deg.

The establishment of native wildflower plantings in Florida can benefit agricultural producers as well as native pollinators and other beneficial insects (predators and parasitoids). The plantings do this by:  providing forage and nesting sites for bees, butterflies, and other pollinators, increasing wild bee numbers possibly across the farm, and increasing natural enemies of insect pests (that also depend on forage and nesting sites). This document discusses choosing the right mix of native plant species to benefit many pollinator species, as well as proper site selection, planting practices, and weed control techniques. Wildflower plots should be practical to manage, maximize benefits to wildlife, and fit into the overall management practices of the property.

Dendrobium anosmum is one of natural orchids in Indonesia. Optimization of medium composition for orchid propagation through in vitro culture is necessary to enhance propagule multiplication capabilities and quality. This study was aimed to study the influence of concentration of coconut water in culture medium on in vitro growth and development of D. anosmum orchid species and to determine the optimal coconut water concentration in culture media.  The experiment were arranged in a Completely Randomized Design with four treatments and eight replications. The treatments consisted of the addition of coconut water with concentrations: 0 ml•l -1 (control), 50 ml•l-1, 100 ml•l-1 and 150 ml•l-1. The results showed that addition of coconut water in culture medium gave different effect on shoot growth and multiplication of D. anosmum orchids.  Coconut water concentration of 100 ml•l-1 was the best concentration for growth and multiplication of D. anosmum orchids, based on both shoots and roots growth, plantlet height and wet weight.
