Estudos de micropropagação em condições fotoautotróficas e métodos histoquímicos em eugenia uniflora l. (Myrtaceae)

Abstract

Eugenia uniflora L. (Myrtaceae) is a native species, which has economic and pharmacological potential. The micropropagation is an important tool in raising healthy plants and high quality. Acclimatization is a limiting stage due to water stress, due to the low survival and photosynthetic capacity are caused by concentrations of sucrose, high humidity and low irradiance. The photoautotrophic micropropagation employs sugar reductions of the culture medium and the relative humidity in the containers. Also, the increase in carbon dioxide and natural ventilation or forced ventilation. This study aimed to test the photoautotrophic micropropagation of Eugenia uniflora L., using four sucrose concentrations (0, 10, 20 and 30 g), and natural ventilation. The interaction of the results demonstrated that the micropropagation Photoautotrophic tested did not show good performance and the problem is not in concentration of carbon dioxide or natural ventilation, but the quality of light within the growth chamber.
