RESUMO

Canela-de-ema (Vellozia flavicans Mart. ex Schult. f.) is a shrub native of Brazilian Cerrado and presents great potential ornamental. Limitations in the conventional cultivation and the slow growth of the plant justify the use of techniques of tissue culture to propagate the species. The objective of this study was to establish a protocol for micropropagation of canela-de-ema. Six month-old and recently collected seeds were tested. All seeds were disinfected with carbendazim (trade name Derosal ) fungicide diluted to 300 mL.L-1 in water for 24 h, and rinsed in 70% alcohol for 1 min. Additionally, the seeds were soaked in commercial bleach with 2-2.5% of active chlorine containing of Tween 80 (3 mL.L-1) for 20 min. The six-month old seeds were inoculated in MS medium with 0% and 3% sucrose and cultivated at 15, 20, 25, 30 and 35 oC. The best percentage of germination was obtained between 25 C and 35 C with or without sucrose. The freshly collected seeds were inoculated in MS medium with different sucrose concentrations: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6%. The highest percentage of germination was observed in the culture medium without sucrose. The difference between the germination of six-month old and newly collected seeds indicate that occurred a loss of seed viability. In the multiplication phase, after 30 days the aerial parts of the plants were inoculated in MS media containing different concentrations of BAP (0.0, 2.22 and 4.44 μM) combined with KIN (0.0, 2.32 and 4.64 μM) plus IBA 1.48 μM in all combinations, except the control treatment. The medium pH was adjusted to 5.7-5.8, 20 g.L-1 sucrose and 8 g.L-1 agar. The experimental design was randomized, in three successive subcultures of 40 days each. The highest number of sprouts was obtained with 4.44 μM of BAP and 0.00 μM of KIN in the third subculture. Different GA3 concentrations (5.77, 11.54 and 17.32 μM) were tested in combination with 2.32 μM of KIN and 2.46 μM IBA. Results showed no influence of these growth regulators in the elongation of V. flavicans shoots. Ex vitro rooting and acclimatization were done in growth chamber and the greenhouse. For that, basal region of the shoots were treated with IBA (1000 ppm) or rooting gel Selagel; and the control treatments had no growth regulators. The rooting ex vitro and acclimatization showed more than 40% of success in all treatments. All acclimatized plants survived after transferred to the nursery. The anatomical analysis showed that the adventitious roots differentiated in the pericycle/endodermis region as well as from the vascular bundles, indicating that the vascularization of the roots is connected to the stem vasculature.
