Somatic embryogenesis in macaw palm (Acrocomia aculeata) from zygotic embryos
Moura, Elisa Ferreira; Motoike, Sérgio Yoshimitsu; Ventrella, Marı́lia Contin; Sá Júnior, Adauto Quirino de; Carvalho, MychelleMacaw palm (Acrocomia aculeata) is an oleaginous palm tree that is highly productive and adapted to semiarid ecosystems, which oil can be used to produce biodiesel. Such characteristics make macaw palm a potential crop to be used by farmers from semi-arid regions, but its propagation is still problematic. This paper reports the first description of somatic embryogenesis for macaw palm from zygotic embryos. The ...
Fertigation and growth regulator on coffee seedling production in tubes
Coelho, Victor Peçanha de Miranda; Rosa, Kelly Martins; Paiva, Paulo; Moreira, Édimo Fernando Alves; Carvalho, MychelleThe use of quality seedlings is important in establishing a productive coffee crop. However, the most widely used method to produce coffee seedlings is time consuming (6-12 months) and lacks new production technologies. This study aimed to assess the use of fertigation and a growth regulator in the production of coffee seedlings, in order to develop a system faster than the conventional method. For that, Topázio c...
Embriogênese somática a partir de folhas imaturas e flores desenvolvidas in vit...
Carvalho, MychelleFundação de Amparo a Pesquisa do Estado de Minas Gerais; The study aimed to establish an efficient protocol for somatic embryogenesis of the oil palm, especially all of cultivars explored in Brazil, as well as to acomplish the anatomical caracterization of the embryogenic process. For induction of somatic embryogenesis we used two explants types, leaves segments and female inflorescences, resulting in two exper...
Field performance of vegetative and seed propagated plants of coffee (Coffea ar...
Carvalho, Mychelle; Jesus, Adriana Madeira Santos; Carvalho, Samuel Pereira de; Gomes, Carlos Nick; Soares, Ângela MariaCutting is an alternative method for vegetative propagation of Coffea arabica L. hybrids for commercial purpose. However, the use of such method requires the understanding of the plant growth characteristics under filed conditions. Thus, the objective of the present study was to evaluate and compare the vegetative growth and first yield of Coffea arabica cv. Acaiá plants obtained by cuttings and with see...
