ABSTRACT The thesis was divided in four articles, in which three are related to in vitro propagation and how the microenvironmental conditions play on physiology and anatomy of B. zebrina. The last article is related to anatomical and physiological changes of B. zebrina under copper (Cu) excess stress. For all studies, B. zebrina plants were previously in vitro- established in MS medium. Plants were transferred to media at concentrations of 0%, 50%, 100%, 150% or 200% of the original salt concentration of MS medium. The media were prepared in two different consistencies, stationary liquid and 6 g L-1 agar. For in vitro rooting studies, the shoots grew in a medium supplemented with different sucrose concentrations. Soluble carbohydrates contents were assessed after the rooting. The in vitro multiplication of B. zebrina shoots is enhanced by using 200% of MS-salts concentration and liquid medium. The use of 15 g L-1 sucrose increased endogenous carbohydrate stocks and induced a good formation of the root systems on in vitro shoots. From these results, a second experiment was designed. B. zebrina side shoots were transferred to culture media containing 0.0, 15.0, 30.0, 45.0 or 60.0 g L-1 sucrose. Two different culture container sealing systems were tested: lids with a filter and a filter covered with PVC. At 45 days in vitro growth, B. zebrina plants were transplanted onto suitable soil mix and evaluated at 80 days growth in greenhouse. At 45 days in vitro and 80 days of acclimatization in the greenhouse, the biomass of plants was evaluated. Anatomical and physiological analysis were also performed on plants grown in vitro. Limited air exchange resulted in plantlets with anatomical and physiological disorders at the end of the in vitro period. The highest growth rate in the greenhouse was observed in plants previously propagated in unlimited gas exchange system and sugar-free medium. An environmental approach was proposed in the last study, in which copper was used. Anatomical and growth analysis were measured. Plants did not show any visible disturb, like necrosis on the leaves and all plants survived. Plants grown under 200 µM Cu showed anatomical changes that can help tolerating this metal, like high stomatal index and thicker cell wall in exodermis. Cu affected the leaf and root anatomy as well as on growth. B. zebrina tolerates high amounts of Cu. From the results it was possible to verify that microenvironmental conditions can change the growth, physiology and anatomy of B. zebrina during in vitro culture. In vitro technique showed a great potential on plant propagation of B. zebrina as well as it also presented an important tool for studies on plant physiology and anatomy. Keywords: Bromeliad. In vitro culture. Photoautotrophic growth. Plant anatomy. Plant physiology. RESUMO A tese foi dividida em quatro artigos, nos quais três estão relacionados a propagação in vitro e como as condições microambientas afetam a fisiologia e anatomia de B. zebrina. O último artigo está relacionado as modificações fisiologicas e anatômicas de B. zebrina sob estresse ao excesso de cobre (Cu). Para todos os estudos, plantas de B. zebrina foram previamente estabelecidas in vitro em meio MS. Plantas foram transferidas para meios nas concentrações de 0%, 50%, 100%, 150% e 200% da concentração original dos sais do meio MS. Os meios foram preparados em duas concentrações diferentes, líquido estacionário e com 6 g L-1 de ágar. Para os estudos de enraizamento in vitro, brotos foram cultivados em meios suplementado com diferentes concentrações de sacarose. Carboidratos solúveis foram analisados após o enraizamento. A multiplicação in vitro de B. zebrina é melhor com o uso de 200% dos sais MS e em meio líquido. O uso de 15 g L-1 de sacarose aumentou os estoques de carboidratos endógenos e induziram uma boa formação do sistema radicular dos brotos in vitro. A partir desses resultados, um segundo experimento foi delineado. Brotos laterais de B. zebrina foram transferidos para meios de cultura contendo 0,0; 15,0; 30,0; 45,0 ou 60,0 g L-1 de sacarose. Dois diferentes tipos de vedação dos frascos foram testados: tampas com um filtro e filtro coberto com plástico PVC. Aos 45 dias de cultivo in vitro, as plantas de B. zebrina foram transplantadas para uma mistura de solo e avaliadas aos 80 dias de cultivo em casa de vegetação. Aos 45 dias in vitro e 80 dias de aclimatização em casa de vegetação, a biomassa das plantas foi avaliada. Análises fisiológicas e anatômicas foram feitas nas plantas cultivadas in vitro.

  • General Information Bromeliaceae Family
    General Information Bromeliads are a unique and fascinating family of hundreds of extremely diversified and exotic plants, which are amazingly adaptable, tough and relatively easy to grow. People often say that Bromeliads thrive on neglect. The species can tolerate a huge variety of growing conditions including heat, light, air and moisture. No Bromeliads are native to Australia and therefore have all been imported and introduced here. The plants are native to the Southern States of the USA, Central America and deep into South America, with regions like Florida, Mexico, the West Indies, parts of Brazil and as far south as Chile having many and various species. One very primitive species is also found in Africa and has survived since the two continents separated. Bromeliaceae Family The entire bromeliad family called Bromeliaceae, is divided into three subfamilies containing many genera, with the Bromelioideae and Tillandsioideae subfamilies being the most popular bromeliads for enthusiasts and collectors. The subfamily Bromelioideae is distributed from Mexico to Argentina and has the greatest number of genera. They are mostly epiphytic, tank-type plants with spiny leaves and berry-like fruit containing wet seeds. The subfamily Pitcairnioideae are the most primitive bromeliads, descended from the grass family. Nearly all are terrestrial. Most have spiny leaves. The seeds are dry and usually winged. The subfamily Tillandsioideae has few genera, but includes about half of the species of bromeliads. Growing throughout the Americas, they are mostly epiphytes. All have spineless leaves. Seeds are dry, with feathery "parachutes" and are blown and float in the wind. The most notable and commercially developed of the family is the edible pineapple (Ananus comosus).

Received 24 July, 2016; Accepted 26 August, 2016 Sucrose, the most commonly used carbon source in conventional in vitro culture, and limited air exchange in the culture containers are factors that affect the growth of in vitro-cultured plants. They may induce physiological disorders and decrease the survival rate of plants after transfer to ex vitro conditions. The aim of the present study was to analyze the effects of gas exchange and sucrose concentration on Billbergia zebrina plantlets during in vitro propagation. In vitro-established B. zebrina plantlets were transferred to culture media containing 0, 15, 30, 45, or 60 g L-1 sucrose. Two different culture-container sealing systems were compared: lids with a filter (permitting gas exchange) and lids with no filter (blocking fluent gas exchange). Carbohydrate and chlorophyll (Chl a+b) concentrations were analyzed in plantlets at 45-days of culture. The addition of sucrose to the medium reduced the Chl a+b concentration in the plantlets.

Be sure to drink lots of water, wear sunscreen and mosquito repellant, and be aware of the effects heat may have on your body. Light-headedness, faintness, spots appearing before your eyes, clammy skin or shaking are indications that you may be heat sick. So take care, take it easy and remember to give yourself a break in air conditioning! At our July meeting, members voted unanimously to have next year’s Mothers Day Show and Sale at Fashion Square Mall. Florida Mall increased the rent for the space for next year, declined to provide signage or advertising and requires us to rent the tables again for the show. These costs seriously impact our ability to raise money for the non-profit groups we support with our annual donations. Both Fashion Square and Oviedo Marketplace offered space at no charge, agreed to provide tables, skirting and advertising, all at no charge.

    ATOLL RESEARCH BULLETIN NO. 503 THE VASCULAR PLANTS OF MAJURO ATOLL, REPUBLIC OF THE MARSHALL ISLANDS BY NANCY VANDER VELDE ISSUED BY NATIONAL MUSEUM OF NATURAL HISTORY SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION WASHINGTON, D.C., U.S.A. AUGUST 2003 Uliga Figure 1. Majuro Atoll THE VASCULAR PLANTS OF MAJURO ATOLL, REPUBLIC OF THE MARSHALL ISLANDS ABSTRACT Majuro Atoll has been a center of activity for the Marshall Islands since 1944 and is now the major population center and port of entry for the country. Previous to the accompanying study, no thorough documentation has been made of the vascular plants of Majuro Atoll. There were only reports that were either part of much larger discussions on the entire Micronesian region or the Marshall Islands as a whole, and were of a very limited scope. Previous reports by Fosberg, Sachet & Oliver (1979, 1982, 1987) presented only 115 vascular plants on Majuro Atoll. In this study, 563 vascular plants have been recorded on Majuro. INTRODUCTION The accompanying report presents a complete flora of Majuro Atoll, which has never been done before. It includes a listing of all species, notation as to origin (i.e. indigenous, aboriginal introduction, recent introduction), as well as the original range of each. The major synonyms are also listed. For almost all, English common names are presented. Marshallese names are given, where these were found, and spelled according to the current spelling system, aside from limitations in diacritic markings. A brief notation of location is given for many of the species. The entire list of 563 plants is provided to give the people a means of gaining a better understanding of the nature of the plants of Majuro Atoll.

  • An Alphabetical List of Bromeliad Binomials
    AN ALPHABETICAL LIST OF BROMELIAD BINOMIALS Compiled by HARRY E. LUTHER The Marie Selby Botanical Gardens Sarasota, Florida, USA ELEVENTH EDITION Published by the Bromeliad Society International June 2008 ii INTRODUCTION TO EDITION XI This list is presented as a spelling guide for validly published taxa accepted at the Bromeliad Identification Center. The list contains the following information: 1) Genus number (the left-hand number) based on the systematic sequence published in the Smith & Downs monograph: Bromeliaceae (Flora Neotropica, number 14, parts 1-3; 1974, 1977, 1979). Whole numbers are as published in the monograph. 2) Species number (the second number) according to its systematic position in the monograph. Note: Taxa not included in the monograph or that have been reclassified have been assigned numbers to reflect their systematic position within the Smith & Downs framework (e.g., taxon 14.1 is related to taxon 14). The utility of this method is that one may assume for example that Tillandsia comarapaensis (150.2) is related to T. didisticha (150) and therefore may have certain horticultural qualities in common with that species. 3) Genus and species names follow the respective numbers. 4) Subspecific taxa (subspecies, varieties, forms) names are indented below the species names. Note: Variety "a" (the type variety) is not listed unless it contains a form (see Aechmea caudata ). Similarly, the type form is not listed. 5) Author name follows the specific and subspecific names. These names are included for the convenience of specialist users of the list. This list does not contain publication data or synonymy, as it is not our intent for it to be a technical nomenclatural guide.
