          Abstract

          The objective of this work was to establish an efficient protocol for in vitro multiplication and rooting, as well as ex vitroacclimatization of Aegiphila verticillata, a woody species found in Brazilian rocky fields. Aseptic cultures were established by seeds and two multiplication analyses were performed. In the first, we employed 6-benzylaminopurine (BAP – 0, 2.5, 5 and 7.5 μM) + α-naphthalene acetic acid (NAA – 0, 0.2, 0.4 and 0.6 μM) and, in the second, were studied adenine sulfate, kinetin and thidiazuron (0, 5, 7.5, 10 and 12.5 μM). After 90 days, we assessed the quantitative and qualitative shoot propagation. There were more than 90% seed germination and low contamination (2%). In multiplication phase, the culture medium that promoted the best quantitative and qualitative culture development was supplemented with 7.5 μM BAP + 0.4 μM NAA. In the rooting assay, were used NAA, indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) and indole-3-butyric acid (IBA) (0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3 or 0.4 μM). After 90 days, the root number and rooting quality were evaluated. In this analysis, differences were not found between the control and the other treatments. Rooted plantlets were acclimatized in styrofoam trays for 30 days, after which they were transferred to pots in the greenhouse. Only 3% of the plants subjected to initial acclimatization died and 70% of the plants transferred to the field conditions survived and showed normal development. The results founded in this work are the first involving in vitro propagation and ex vitroacclimatization of Aegiphila verticillata and provide a continuous supply of this medicinal native species, endangered due anthropogenic activities.

          Os objetivos deste trabalho foram estabelecer protocolos eficientes para a multiplicação e enraizamento in vitro, bem como para a aclimatização ex vitro de Aegiphila verticillata, uma espécie arbórea típica dos campos rupestres brasileiros. Culturas assépticas foram estabelecidas a partir de sementes, e dois experimentos de multiplicação foram realizados. No primeiro experimento, foram utilizados 6-benzilaminopurina (BAP – 0; 2,5; 5; e 7,5 μM) + ácido α-naftaleno acético (ANA – 0; 0,2; 0,4; e 0,6 μM) e, no segundo, sulfato de adenina, cinetina ou thidiazuron (0; 5; 7,5; 10; e 12,5 μM). Após 90 dias, foram avaliados o número e a qualidade das brotações. Houve mais de 90% de germinação das sementes e reduzida taxa de contaminação (2%). Na etapa de multiplicação, o meio que promoveu o melhor desenvolvimento qualitativo e quantitativo das culturas foi o suplementado com 7,5 μM de BAP + 0,4 μM de ANA. No experimento de enraizamento, foram utilizados ANA, ácido indol acético (AIA) ou ácido indol butírico (AIB) (0; 0,1; 0,2; 0,3; e 0,4 μM). Após 90 dias, foram avaliados o número de raízes e a qualidade do sistema radicular. Nessa análise, não foram encontradas diferenças entre o controle e os demais tratamentos. Plântulas enraizadas foram aclimatizadas inicialmente por 30 dias em bandejas de isopor, período após o qual foram transferidas para vasos, em casa de vegetação. Apenas 3% das plantas submetidas à aclimatização inicial morreram, e 70% daquelas transferidas para a casa de vegetação sobreviveram e apresentaram desenvolvimento normal. Os resultados encontrados neste trabalho são os primeiros relatos envolvendo a propagação in vitro e a aclimatização ex vitro de Aegiphila verticillata e possibilitam o fornecimento de um suprimento contínuo dessa espécie medicinal nativa, ameaçada de extinção devido às atividades antrópicas.

              Activities of some Brazilian plants against larvae of the mosquito Aedes aegypti.

              The insecticidal activities of extracts and oils of seventeen medicinal plants of Brazil have been determined using an Aedes aegypti larvicidal bioassay. Oils from Anacardium occidentalis, Copaifera langsdorffii, Carapa guianensis, Cymbopogon winterianus and Ageratum conyzoides showed high activities with LC50 values of 14.5, 41, 57, 98 and 148 microg/l, respectively. The most active ethanolic extract tested was that from the stem of Annona glabra which presented an LC50 value of 27 microg/l. The potential application of cashew nut oil, an industrial by-product with low commercial value, in the control of the vector of dengue and yellow fever, may be proposed.
