We evaluate the effects of water deficiency on ecophysiological and biochemical parameters of seedlings of Tabebuia aurea. Plants were subjected to daily watering (control) and to stress by soil water deficiency for 29 days. Leaf area, plant biomass, gas exchange, SPAD index, maximum quantum yield (Fv / Fm), quantum yield of PSII (ΦPSII), superoxide dismutase (SOD) and L-ascorbate peroxidase (APX) activity, lipid peroxidation, and proline content were recorded. Plants responded to water deficit by reducing leaf area and accumulating proline. Stomatal conductance was reduced to limit the water loss by transpiration. However, limiting CO2 uptake caused reduction in photosynthesis and biomass. The excess of energy unutilized by photosynthesis reduced SPAD index and ΦPSII. As a result, we observed an increase in SOD and APX activity, protecting chloroplast membranes from further damages caused by lipid peroxidation. Our results indicate that T. aurea have capacity to survive under water deficiency reducing stomatal aperture, but affecting the rate of CO2 assimilation. Nevertheless, plants showed mechanisms to preventing damages to the photosynthetic apparatus. Such plasticity is an important adaptation for plants growing in dry environmental.","PeriodicalId":38672,"journal":{"name":"Rodriguesia","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67283124","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Forty-six species were registered in this study, representing 46% of the richness of the genus in Espírito Santo. Twenty-five species (54%) are endemic to the Atlantic domain and seven are endemic to Espírito Santo. Myrcia scytophylla is reported in the Atlantic forest for the first time and M. cymatophylla, M. congestiflora, and M. ferruginosa are new occurrences in the state. Species composition revealed by this study considerably differs from that of a previous checklist. Representatives of Myrcia can be found in all main vegetation types of the VNR and the anthropic areas. The study site must be considered prioritary for conservation of Myrcia due to the presence of a rich assemblage, which also includes restrict and threatened species.","PeriodicalId":38672,"journal":{"name":"Rodriguesia","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67283142","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Seven species representing Bromelia and Tillandsia genera were evaluated. The results provide characteristics related to the habitat of each species and contribute to distinguish the genera evaluated: fruit and seed measurements, seed shape, plumose appendage, testa characteristics, and the aleurone layer, embryo endosperm ratio, types of reserves, constriction zone in the embryo and type of post-seminal development. Characteristics of plumose appendages and the presence of vascular bundles in the embryo also contribute to distinguish Tillandsia species. In T. elongata and T. flexuosa, high number of seeds per fruit (> 100), morphoanatomical aspects, high germination (> 92%) and plant formation (> 77%) percentages, and higher germination rate values (> 4.5) give them the potential capacity for establishment in this environment.

However, necromass is frequently disregarded in forest assessments. Here, we aimed to perform the first assessment of multiple necromass compartments in the Atlantic Forest of Northeast Brazil, providing a basis for future integrative studies related to necromass in this region. We registered 17 standing dead trees in 0.5 hectare and 239 logs of coarse woody debris. Necromass had 3.9 Mg.ha-1 of standing dead trees, 54.24 Mg.ha-1 of coarse woody debris and 7.2 Mg.ha-1 of litter. We indicate that standing dead trees and coarse debris were mostly in the intermediate and final stages of decomposition. Leaves were the dominant component of litter, and drier months had more litterfall. Finally, we highlight that assessing standing dead trees and coarse woody debris adds 25.6% on top of aboveground tree mass, improving information about organic matter storage in rainforest ecosystems. Our findings emphasize that the necromass compartment must be considered in forest assessments, also including small pieces of coarse woody debris, which could inform better practices of forest management.","PeriodicalId":38672,"journal":{"name":"Rodriguesia","volume":"11 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67283817","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In light of that, this investigation aimed at studying the in vitro germination and early development of C. paludicolum as influenced by culture medium, sucrose and growth regulators as well as its micropropagation by using dark-grown stem segments. A protocol for its acclimatization is also detailed. The effects of Murashige & Skoog (MS), Knudson C (KC) and Vacin & Went (VW) media on the in vitro germination and initial development were tested. The influence of different concentrations of BA, NAA, and of sucrose on plant multiplication and growth were evaluated. The possibility of using etiolated stem segments for micropropagation was also assessed. Acclimatization was accomplished in two phases by using three different substrates. The results showed that VW was the best medium for germination whereas for seedling formation KC was the most advantageous since they were healthy and vigorous. Sucrose at 2% favored the greatest seedling growth and development. Shoot and root proliferation and development were best promoted in the presence of 2.28/2.28 and 0.57/0.57 µM BA/NAA, respectively. The use of etiolated stem segments for micropropagation was effective.
