It was aimed to evaluate cytokinins and its concentrations in the multiplication and leaf structure of Neoregelia concentrica (Vellozo) L.B. Smith. Previously In vitro -established N. concentrica plants were inoculated in MS medium supplemented with 6-benzylaminopurine (BAP) or Kinetin (KIN) with concentrations 0.0, 5.0, 10.0 and 15.0 µM. For the anatomic analyses tree plants of each treatment were randomly sampled at 60-day growth. Significant differences were verified in the evaluated characteristics due to the treatments. The raise in cytokinin concentrations induced a higher percentage and average number of explants with shoots. BAP provided higher averages when compared to KIN. The cytokinin use modified the epidermal structure and induced a larger thickening of the water-storage and chlorophyll parenchymas. The use of 15.0 µM BAP was efficient in the In vitro multiplication and in the leaf tissue development of N. concentrica. Key words: Bromeliad, Cytokinin, In vitro multiplication, Tissue culture. Introduction and/or physiological alterations can significantly affect the acclimation chance of success (Majada et al ., 2000; Bromeliads are originated almost exclusively in the Zobayed et al., 2001).

However, little is known about the signalling pathway of ROS in plants with CAM metabolism, other than the knowledge that ROS production is limited in CAM plants. In the present study, we assessed the effects of drought stress on reactive oxygen species and antioxidant enzyme activities in leaf portions of Guzmania monostachia. The exposure of G. monostachia plants to 10 days of water deficit led to a decrease in the leaf relative water content (RWC) from 75% to 50% in all leaf portions (apical, middle and basal); hence, it was concluded that plants subjected to drought produced higher levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) when compared with control plants. Significant variations to the formation of ROS were also identified in all leaf portions during the diurnal cycle. After ten days of CAM induction, H2O2 concentration increased significantly in contrast to control plants during the day-night cycle. In addition, the activity of antioxidant enzymes in processes related to the elimination of ROS was also evaluated.

    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Apollo Botanical Journal of the Linnean Society, 2016, 181, 415–440. With 2 figures Think tank: water relations of Bromeliaceae in their evolutionary context JAMIE MALES* Department of Plant Sciences, University of Cambridge, Downing Street, Cambridge CB2 3EA, UK Received 31 July 2015; revised 28 February 2016; accepted for publication 1 March 2016 Water relations represent a pivotal nexus in plant biology due to the multiplicity of functions affected by water status. Hydraulic properties of plant parts are therefore likely to be relevant to evolutionary trends in many taxa. Bromeliaceae encompass a wealth of morphological, physiological and ecological variations and the geographical and bioclimatic range of the family is also extensive. The diversification of bromeliad lineages is known to be correlated with the origins of a suite of key innovations, many of which relate directly or indirectly to water relations. However, little information is known regarding the role of change in morphoanatomical and hydraulic traits in the evolutionary origins of the classical ecophysiological functional types in Bromeliaceae or how this role relates to the diversification of specific lineages. In this paper, I present a synthesis of the current knowledge on bromeliad water relations and a qualitative model of the evolution of relevant traits in the context of the functional types. I use this model to introduce a manifesto for a new research programme on the integrative biology and evolution of bromeliad water-use strategies. The need for a wide-ranging survey of morphoanatomical and hydraulic traits across Bromeliaceae is stressed, as this would provide extensive insight into structure– function relationships of relevance to the evolutionary history of bromeliads and, more generally, to the evolutionary physiology of flowering plants.

AoB PLANTS 10: plx061; doi: 10.1093/aobpla/plx061 Abstract. Reproductive isolation is of fundamental importance for maintaining species boundaries in sympatry. Here, we examine the genetic and morphological differences between two closely related bromeliad species: Vriesea simplex and Vriesea scalaris. Furthermore, we examined the occurrence of natural hybridization and discuss the action of reproductive isolation barriers. Nuclear genomic admixture suggests hybridization in sympatric popula- tions, although interspecific gene flow is low among species in all sympatric zones (Nem < 0.5). Thus, morphological and genetic divergence (10.99 %) between species can be maintained despite ongoing natural hybridization. Cross- evaluation of our genetic and morphological data suggests that species integrity is maintained by the simultaneous action of multiple barriers, such as divergent reproductive systems among species, differences in floral traits and low hybrid seed viability.

Bromeliads are an important group for the maintenance of the Atlantic Forest, with many threatened species due to exacerbated extraction and destruction of their natural habitats. Considering the need of developing protocols for the conservation of these species, the aim of this work was to evaluate the effect of different growth regulators in the in vitro induction of shoots of Billbergia euphemiae. Leaf explants were excised from seedlings derived from in vitro germination and grown on MS medium supplemented with NAA (0, 1 or 2 μM) and BA (0, 2, 4 or 6 μM) combinations. The evaluation of the number of shoots per explant, shoot length, number of leaves per shoot and longest leaf length average was carried out after 30 and 60 days of culture.

Seeds were disinfected and in vitro germinated on MS medium containing 0, 0.5, 1, 2, or 4.5 µM BAP (6-benzylaminopurine) or KIN (6-furfurylaminopurine or kinetin). Rooting was achieved on half strength MS supplemented with 0, 2.5, 5, or 10 µM IBA (indole-3-butyric acid). Some seedlings (thirty-day-old) were kept on MS medium in the presence of 10 mL.L-1 B5 vitamins and others in the absence.

    Revista Brasileira de Biociências Brazilian Journal of Biosciences http://www.ufrgs.br/seerbio/ojs ISSN 1980-4849 (on-line) / 1679-2343 (print) ARTICLE Leaf morphoanatomy of the rheophyte Dyckia distachya Hassler (Bromeliaceae) Caroline Heinig Voltolini1*, Ademir Reis2 and Marisa Santos2 Received: November 03 2008 Received after revision: October 28 2009 Accepted: November 11 2009 Available online at http://www.ufrgs.br/seerbio/ojs/index.php/rbb/article/view/1131 ABSTRACT: (Leaf morphoanatomy of the rheophyte Dyckia distachya Hassler (Bromeliaceae)). This research reports on the leaf morphoanatomy of the rheophyte Dyckia distachya. Plants with young and mature leaves of three populations from the Pelotas River and Uruguay River (SC, Brazil), which were maintained in a greenhouse, were utilized in the study. The leaves of D. distachya have sheaths, and the blades are lanceolate with serrate margins. The leaf epidermis of this species has a thick- ened cuticular membrane; thickened and lignified cellular walls, except in the outer periclinal; and silica bodies in the lumen. Tetracytic stomata are found within individual depressions that are protected by peltate scales; both the stomata and scales are restricted to the intercostal zones, on the abaxial surface. These features of the epidermis suggest that this species has the ability to conserve water while gas is exchanged during periods when the water level is low. The mesophyll is formed by the follow- ing: the hypodermis, which is made of septate fibers (along the adaxial surface and abaxial costal regions) or sclereids (abaxial intercostal regions); hydrenchyma, the widest tissue; chlorenchyma, located adaxially to the collateral vascular bundles; and aerenchyma, which communicate directly with the stomata.
