No. of bitstreams: 1 Tese Definitivo ZERGurgel.pdf: 2392487 bytes, checksum: 97870ae444449d037535f874c18b1d37 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2017-07-24 / Coordena??o de Aperfei?oamento de Pessoal de N?vel Superior - CAPES / Comanthera mucugensis Giul. subsp. mucugensis, an endemic species of the municipality of Mucug?-BA is threatened with extinction. To reduce extractivism in natural populations, it is necessary to develop efficient multiplication protocols; In this sense somatic embryogenesis and organogenesis may be viable and preservation cryopreservation may be a strategy for its long-term. The objectives of this study were: (1) to analyze the embryogenic competence and the indirect organogenesis of C. mucugensis; (2) to evaluate the cryopreservation of seeds and different methods of cryopreservation of C. mucugensis plants and (3) to identify the best way to store seeds in the long term. Experiments were performed to induce somatic embryogenesis with different concentrations of 2,4-D X BAP and Picloran X BAP and for indirect organogenesis BAP and ANA were used. Seeds were cryopreserved for 0 (control), 1, 7, 30, 360 and 540 days and other seeds were stored at different temperatures to verify the best form of storage. Plants were cryopreserved with the technique of vitrification and encapsulation-desiccation. Plants from cryopreserved seeds were acclimatized in sand and vegetal soil (1: 1) for 60 days. The work showed that the plant regulators Picloran and 2,4-D are promising in the induction of callus with embryogenic potential and that the plant regulator ANA at 4.9 ?M is efficient in indirect organogenesis. The seeds of C. mucugensis can be cryopreserved without compromising their physiological quality, but the techniques for cryopreservation of plants have not been efficient. / Comanthera mucugensis Giul. subsp. mucugensis, possui flor de interesse comercial que devido ao extrativismo excessivo encontra-se amea?ada de extin??o. Para suprir a demanda do mercado e evitar o decl?nio populacional, faz-se necess?rio desenvolver protocolos para sua multiplica??o, podendo a embriog?nese som?tica e a organog?nese serem alternativas vi?veis. Al?m disso, ? importante investir em estudos de conserva??o a longo prazo como, por exemplo, a criopreserva??o. O trabalho teve como objetivos: realizar estudos para tornar a micropropaga??o mais eficiente e avaliar a conserva??o de C. mucugensis em diferentes temperaturas como estrat?gia para a conserva??o do seu germoplasma. Foram testados para a indu??o da embriog?nese som?tica 2,4-D x BAP e Picloram x BAP e para organog?nese indireta BAP e ANA. Na criopreserva??o foram avaliadas sementes mantidas em nitrog?nio l?quido (-196?C) por 0, 1, 7, 30, 360 e 540 dias e as plantas inteiras foram submetidas a duas t?cnicas: vitrifica??o e encapsulamento-desidrata??o. Para avaliar o armazenamento, as sementes foram mantidas em temperatura ambiente, 4?C, -20?C, -80?C e -196?C por 30, 90 e 180 dias. Visando observar se a criopreserva??o das sementes interfere no desenvolvimento, plantas oriundas da germina??o in vitro de sementes criopreservadas foram aclimatizadas em areia e terra vegetal (1:1) por 60 dias. O trabalho demonstrou que os reguladores vegetais Picloram e 2,4-D s?o promissores na indu??o de calos com potencial embriog?nico e que o regulador vegetal ANA (4,9 ?M) ? eficiente na organog?nese indireta. As sementes de C. mucugensis podem ser criopreservadas sem comprometer sua qualidade fisiol?gica, entretanto, n?o foram eficientes as t?cnicas para criopreserva??o de plantas inteiras.
