Essential oils of Lippia gracilis and Lippia sidoides chemotypes and their majo...
Melo, Juliana Oliveira de; Blank, Arie Fitzgerald; Nunes, Rogéria de Souza; Alves, Péricles Barreto; Arrigoni-Blank, Maria de FátimaThe aim of this work was to evaluate the antifungal activity of essential oils (EOs) of Lippia gracilis and Lippia sidoides accessions, their major compounds and nanoemulsions. Nanoemulsions with 18% of EO or major compound were produced by spontaneous emulsification method. The EO of two L. gracilis accessions (LGRA-106 and LGRA-109) and two L. sidoides accessions (LSID-102 and LSID-104) were extracted by hydr...
Essential oils of Eplingiella fruticosa populations: chemical, antioxidant, and...
Pinto, Jéssika Andreza Oliveira; Oliveira, Anne Karoline de Souza; Santos, Edmilson Willian Propheta dos; Silva, Ana Mara de Oliveira eThis study investigates the variations in the chemical profiles and biological activities (antioxidant and cytotoxic) of Eplingiella fruticosa from the state of Sergipe, an endemic species from the Northeast region of Brazil. The essential oils were extracted from six populations by hydrodistillation and analyzed by GC/MS-FID. Cluster analysis was performed with the data of the constituents of the essential oil...
Antifungal activity of essential oils of Myrcia ovata chemotypes and their majo...
Sampaio, Taís Santos; Blank, Arie Fitzgerald; Gagliardi, Paulo Roberto; Wisniewski Jr, Alberto; Arrigoni-Blank, Maria de FátimaThis work evaluated the antifungal activity of essential oils of Myrcia ovata chemotypes (MYRO-175, MYRO-156, MYRO-154, MYRO-165, and MYRO-015) and their major compounds (linalool, geraniol, citral, and (E)-nerolidol) on the phytopathogenic fungi Fusarium pallidoroseum (which causes melon postharvest rot) and Colletotrichum musae (which causes anthracnose in banana). The essential oils were obtained by hydrodis...
Morphoagronomic characterization of Lantana camara L. germplasm
Nascimento, Luís Fernando de Andrade; Blank, Arie Fitzgerald; Sá Filho, José Carlos Freitas de; Pereira, Katily Luize GarciaThe medicinal and aromatic species Lantana camara is a bush that receives a lot of interest regarding ornamental use. However, due to its condition of invasive plant in natural environments, it suffers constant eradication attempts, which causes genetic erosion of the species. To work around this problem, a sample of the genetic variability of L. camara was saved in the Active Germplasm Bank of medicinal and ar...
Content and chemical composition of the essential oil of Lippia gracilis Schaue...
Melo, Juliana Oliveira de; Blank, Arie Fitzgerald; Souza de Oliveira, Alisson Marcel; Andrade, Thiago Matos; Arrigoni-Blank, Maria de FátimaLippia gracilis, popularly known in Brazil as ‘alecrim-de-tabuleiro’, is used for many purposes, especially as antimicrobial and antiseptic. The drying process of aromatic and medicinal plants aims to minimize the loss of active principles and slow their deterioration, which may greatly influence the yield and chemical composition of some species. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of drying...
In vitro antifungal activity of Myrcia ovata essential oils and their major com...
White, Larissa Alves Secundo; Blank, Arie Fitzgerald; Gagliardi, Paulo Roberto; Arrigoni-Blank, Maria de Fátima; Nizio, Daniela Aparecida de CastroMyrcia ovata, an endemic species to the Brazilian Atlantic Forest, presents antifungal properties. The phytopathogens Colletotrichum acutatum, Plenodomus destruens, and Thielaviopsis paradoxa are responsible for the diseases citrus postbloom fruit drop, sweet potato foot rot, and coconut stem bleeding, respectively. The antifungal activity of the essential oils of five M. ovata chemotypes (MYRO-159, nerolic aci...
Morfologia de flores, frutos e sementes de pau-pombo (Tapirira guianensis Auble...
Santana, Wilma Michele Santos; Silva-Mann, Renata; Ferreira, Robério Anastácio; Arrigoni-Blank, Maria de Fátima; Blank, Arie FitzgeraldTapirira guianensis Aubl. is a tree species important for wood, phytoterapy and restoration of degraded areas. The objective of this work was to characterize the structure of flowers, fruits and seeds. This study was carried out in the Agronomy Department of the Federal University of Sergipe (UFS), São Cristóvão, SE, Brazil. In the floral structure analysis, individuals were identified having male and female st...
Cropping season affect the performance of basil cultivars and hybrids
Pinto, Jéssika Andreza Olveira; Blank, Arie Fitzgerald; Andrade, Thiago Matos; Sá Filho, José Carlos Freitas de; Nascimento, Luís Fernando de AndradeThe objective of this work was to evaluate the performance of basil cultivars and hybrids in two cropping seasons. The experiments were conducted in a randomized block design, with three replications. Twenty-four basil genotypes were tested (20 commercial cultivars and four hybrids), in the dry season (oct.-dec./2015) and in the rainy season (apr.-jun./2016). The evaluated variables were: plant height (cm plant...
Influence of N-P-K fertilization at the acclimatization stage on micropropagate...
Arrigoni-Blank, Maria de Fátima; Vasconcelos, Márcia Raquel Moura; Feitosa-Alcantara, Rosana Barroso; Moreira, Maria AparecidaBromeliads are known worldwide for their ornamental potential. In Brazil, species of the genus Tillandsia occur in the Atlantic rainforest, Amazon rainforest, and rocky fields. This work aimed to evaluate the influence of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium fertilization on micropropagated seedlings of Tillandsia bulbosa, at the acclimatization stage, and their leaf anatomy. The experiment was carried out in a ...
Chemical diversity of essential oils from Hyptis pectinata (L.) Poit
Feitosa-Alcantara, Rosana Barroso; Arrigoni-Blank, Maria de Fátima; Blank, Arie Fitzgerald; Nogueira, Paulo Cesar de Lima; Sampaio, Taís SantosThe essential oils are secondary metabolites formed by several chemical compounds that confer to these substances great social and economic importance. This diversity of compounds is generally determined by the genetic constitution of the plant, although environmental factors may also influence the type, amount, and concentrations of the compounds present in the essential oil. The aim of this work was to analyz...
