Summary: | ABSTRACT Large-scale oil palm propagation (Elaeis guineensis Jacq.) is difficult due to its unique apical meristem. In this context, micropropagation allows the multiplication of seedlings in vitro and the storage of germplasm elites. This study aimed to induce embryogenic calluses from leaves of oil palm plants in low concentrations of auxins and to observe the maintenance of these characteristics during in vitro cultivation. Calluses were induced in 0.5 cm leaf explants in Y3 culture medium supplemented with Picloram (4-Amino-3,5,6-trichloro-2-pyridinecarboxylic acid) or 2,4-D (2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid), at concentrations of 0, 1, 3, 6, and 9 mg L-1. The callus with embryogenic appearance was subcultured and evaluated regarding maintenance of embryogenic characteristics by cytochemical analyses. The best treatment for induction of calluses was composed of 1mg.L-1 of Picloram, which led to 30% callus formation. The calluses were classified into4 types, based on color and morphology. The cells of calluses with nodular and beige appearance have embryogenic characteristics, and the embryogenic potential of the cell masses was maintained over the 20 months of cultivation. This differentiated adaptation to the protocol can allow the advance in the mass propagation of oil palm through tissue culture, indicating the importance of investigating the topics proposed by the research.
RESUMO O difícil processo de propagação em grande escala do dendezeiro (Elaeis guineensis Jacq.) ocorre devido ao seu meristema apical único. Nesse contexto, a micropropagação permite a multiplicação de mudas in vitro e o armazenamento de germoplasma. O objetivo deste estudo foi induzir calosidades embriogênicas de folhas de dendezeiros em baixas concentrações de auxinas e observar a manutenção dessas características durante o cultivo in vitro. Calos foram induzidos em explantes de folhas de 0,5 cm em meio de cultura Y3 suplementado com Picloram (ácido 4-amino-3, 5,6-tricloro-2-piridinocarboxílico) ou 2,4-D (ácido 2,4-diclorofenoxiacético), nas concentrações de 0, 1, 3, 6 e 9 mg L-1. O calo com aparência embriogênica foi subcultivado e avaliado quanto à manutenção das características embriogênicas por meio de análises citoquímicas. O melhor tratamento para indução de calosidades foi composto por 1mg. L-1 de Picloram, o que levou à formação de calosidades de 30%. Os calos foram classificados em 4 tipos, com base na cor e na morfologia. As células das calosidades com aspecto nodular |
