Item Relationship between meiotic instability and fertility in F2 generation Arabusta coffee plants(Instituto Agronômico (IAC), 2019) Granato, Laís Moreira; Ramos, Luis Carlos da Silva; Pinto-Maglio, Cecília Alzira FerreiraParental plants, an F1 interspecific hybrid and the F2 generation from Arabusta coffee plants were investigated for meiotic behavior and viability of pollen to understand part of their reproductive biology that affects their possible use in coffee breeding programs. Both parental plants (C. canephora var. Robusta 4x and C. arabica var. dihaploid Bourbon Vermelho) showed a meiosis diploid-like behavior, despite presenting a small percentage of irregularities, just as occurred for the F1 Arabusta hybrid. On the other hand, all F2 plants showed a higher frequency of anomalies that compromised pollen viability. The highest meiotic indices were registered for three analyzed plants of the F2 generation, and the pollen viability tests revealed the highest values for staining (PVS) and germination in vitro tests (PVG) for three others different F2 plants. The meiotic analysis and pollen viability tests may facilitate the selection of the best genetic resources, reducing the time needed for producing new hybrid cultivars. F2 plants which have high meiotic indices and/or high pollen fertility could be used as pollen donors in crossbreeding programs when there is interest in their functional or morphological characteristics. In contrast, the F2 plants that showed low pollen viability could be exploited as sterile male plants or discarded from a breeding program.Item Avaliação da superfície relativa do sistema radicular de cafeeiros(Instituto Agronômico (IAC), 1980) Ramos, Luis Carlos da Silva; Lima, Marinez Muraro Alves deAvaliou-se a superfície relativa do sistema radicular de cafeeiros dos cultivares Catuaí e Arábica de Coffea arábica, do 'Guarini' de C. canephora e do 'Icatu', descendente de hibridações entre essas espécies, pelo método titulométrico ligeiramente modificado. Outras medidas foram tomadas para a caracterização dos cultivares: peso seco e comprimento das raízes e da parte aérea e diâmetro do caule. O cultivar Guarini, além de apresentar maior superfície relativa, tem, também, maior peso seco de raízes, da parte aérea, maior diâmetro do caule e maior comprimento da parte aérea. Observaram-se altas correlações entre os dados da superfície relativa, peso seco das raízes e peso da parte aérea. Sugere-se que o método da titulação seja aplicável em investigações sobre o estudo do sistema radicular em geral.Item Effect of 6-BA on nodal explant bud sproutings of Coffea arabica cv. Mundo Novo(Instituto Agronômico (IAC), 2005-04) Ramos, Luis Carlos da Silva; Almeida, Julieta Andrea S. deCoffee plants can be micropropagated by nodal bud sprouting using the 6-benzylaminopurine (6-BA) hormone. However, literature reports the use of a wide range of 6-BA, from 0.5 to 88.8 µM L-1. So, this study was performed to narrow that range. Nodal explants of Coffea arabica cv Mundo Novo obtained from in vitro plantlets were inoculated on gelled-MS medium supplemented with different concentrations of 6-BA. Two assays were carried out: in the first one, 6-BA was used at concentrations of 0, 5, 25, 50, and 100 µM L-1, being evaluated at 43 and 123 days. In the second experiment, dosis of 10, 20 and 30 µM L-1, have evaluated at 65 and 100 days. Treatments with 6-BA induced multiple sprouting from the nodal explants, which were best characterized around 100 days after inoculation. The nodal explants grew taller and showed multiple shoots, whereas the effect of 6-BA at 5 to 25 µM L-1 was similar to that with higher concentrations (50 and 100 µM L-1). Nodal explants yielded from 2.9 to 6.0 buds per node, achieving height of 1.3 to 1.5 cm at 5 to 25 µM L-1 of 6-BA, whereas they yielded from 4.3 to 4.9 buds per node but the sprouting grew about 0.8 cm at 50 and 100 µM L-1 of 6-BA. This study indicated that multiple sprouting of lateral buds can be induced by lower concentrations of 6-BA, for example, from 10 to 30 µM L-1, diminishing possible risks of somaclonal variation due to high levels of hormone concentration.
