Previous issue date: 2009-08-06 / Coordena??o de Aperfei?oamento de Pessoal de N?vel Superior / This study aimed to analyze the effect of a saline solution on growth and chemical composition of Atriplex nummularia, shrubby plant, absorbing salts used in the diet of animals and the management of water and saline soils. These plant seedlings
were planted and grown in a reserved area at the Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte. The plantation was divided into two blocks, in which one of them was irrigated with saline solution with a concentration of 2840 mgL-1 of NaCl and the second group was irrigated with drinking water. After six months, the plants were collected, harvested and divided into three parts: leaf, thin and thick stem. Monthly, dimension
measurements were carried out for cataloging the growth of Atriplex. Ion Chromatography (IC) and Optical Emission Spectroscopy Inductively Coupled Plasma (ICP-OES) were used to analyze the chemical composition of the partition plant parts.
The results of these analyses revealed that an absorption process of anions and cations by Atriplex nummularia plant during its growth was achieved, in particular by a higher
concentration of sodium and chloride ions. Scanning electron microscopy images showed and confirmed the presence of small crystals on the leaf surface. Electrical conductivity and pH measurements of the aerial parts of the plant were carried out and these results showed that the leaf is the plant part where there is a largest concentration of ions. In addition, measurements of specific surface were obtained from irrigated
plants with saline solution, achieving higher surface area, in all cases. Plant dimensions obtained monthly showed that the plants irrigated with water grew 5% more than those plants irrigated with saline solution. Based on results obtained, Atriplex plant showed a higher potential to survive and adapt to environments (aquatic or geological) with high levels of salinity and this property can be used as a tool for removing salts/metals from industrial contaminated soils and effluents. / O presente estudo teve como objetivo analisar o efeito da aplica??o de uma solu??o salina no crescimento e na composi??o qu?mica da Atriplex nummularia, planta arbustiva, absorvedora de sais utilizada na dieta de animais e no manejo de ?guas e solos salinos. Mudas desta erva foram plantadas e cultivadas no Horto da Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte. A planta??o foi dividida em dois blocos, no qual um
deles foi irrigado com solu??o salina com concentra??o de 2840 mgL-1 de cloreto e o outro irrigado com ?gua pot?vel. Ap?s seis meses do plantio as plantas foram colhidas e dividas em tr?s partes: folha, caule fino e caule grosso. O crescimento da Atriplex foi avaliado atrav?s de medidas mensais. Para a caracteriza??o qu?mica fez-se necess?rio o uso de t?cnicas anal?ticas como: Cromatografia de ?ons (IC) e Espectroscopia de
Emiss?o ?ptica por Plasma Indutivamente Acoplado (ICP-OES). Os resultados dessas an?lises destacaram a diversidade de ?nions e c?tions absorvidos pela planta durante seu processo evolutivo, apresentando em especial uma maior concentra??o dos ?ons s?dio e cloreto. A Microscopia Eletr?nica de Varredura identificou a presen?a de pequenos cristais na superf?cie da folha. An?lises de condutividade el?trica das partes a?reas da
planta foram realizadas juntamente com medidas do potencial hidrogeni?nico e essas mostraram que na folha encontram-se as maiores concentra??o de ?ons. Medidas da ?rea superficial espec?fica das plantas irrigadas com solu??o salina apresentaram maior ?rea superficial. As medidas mensais realizadas durante todo o cultivo mostraram que as plantas irrigadas com ?gua pot?vel se desenvolveram 5% a mais do que as plantas cultivadas com solu??o salina. Com base em todos os resultados obtidos durante o estudo foi conclu?do que a Atriplex ? uma planta que apresenta potencialidade em
sobreviver e adaptar-se a ambientes salinos, podendo ser utilizada como uma fonte absorvedora de sais dos solos contaminados por efluentes resultantes de processos
industriais nos quais tem a ?gua salina como produto final de seus processos.
