In vitro conservation and acclimatization of Epidendroideae (Orchidaceae) from ...
Menezes, Thays Saynara Alves; Blank, Maria de Fátima Arrigoni-; Costa, Andrea Santos da; Feitosa-Alcantara, Rosana Barroso; Blank, Arie FitzgeraldOrchids are known for the beauty, exuberance, and color of their flowers and therefore represent one of the most coveted ornamental plants. Due to their high commercial value, several illegal practices of removal and commercialization have led to the verge of extinction. This study aimed to develop protocols for in vitro conservation under slow growth and acclimatization of species of the subfamily Epidendroide...
Inheritance study of yield components and essential oil constituents in linool ...
Alves, Mércia Freitas; Blank, Arie Fitzgerald; Nizio, Daniela Aparecida de Castro; Blank, Maria de Fátima Arrigoni-; Alves, Péricles BarretoThe aim of this study was to conduct an inheritance study for the agronomic and chemical characteristics of basil (Ocimum basilicum L.) hybrid 'Genovese' x 'Maria Bonita'. F1 seeds were obtained from a cross of P1 (Genovese) x P2 (Maria Bonita). F2 seeds were obtained from selfing five F1 plants. In this experiment, a randomized block design with three replications was used. Each replication consisted of four t...
Distillation methods affect the chemical composition of Varronia curassavica Ja...
Nizio, Daniela Aparecida de Castro; Blank, Arie Fitzgerald; Sampaio, Taís Santos; Brito, Fabiany de Andrade; Andrade, Thiago MatosThe objective of this work was to evaluate the chemical composition of essential oil from Varronia curassavica Jacq. obtained by microwave (MI) and hydrodistillation (HD) extraction methods. The MI method tested three powers (500, 600, and 700W), three distillation times (20, 30, and 40 min.), and three water volumes (0, 25, and 50 mL per sample). The HD method tested three distillation times (100, 120, and 140...
