Item Anatomia foliar como subsídio à taxonomia de Hippocrateoideae (Celastraceae) no Sudeste do Brasil(Acta Botanica Brasilica, 2005-10) Gomes, Sandra Maria Alvarenga; Silva, Eldo Antônio Monteiro da; Lombardi, Julio Antonio; Azevedo, Aristéa Alves; Vale, Fernando Henrique Aguiar(Anatomia foliar como subsídio à taxonomia de Hippocrateoideae (Celastraceae) no Sudeste do Brasil). A anatomia foliar de treze espécies pertencentes a nove gêneros da subfamília Hippocrateoideae (Celastraceae) foi estudada visando a seleção de caracteres anatômicos para subsidiar a taxonomia dos gêneros e espécies. As espécies estudadas foram: Anthodon decussatum Ruiz & Pav., Cheiloclinium cognatum (Miers) A.C. Sm., Cheiloclinium serratum (Cambess.) A.C. Sm., Cuervea crenulata Mennega, Elachyptera micrantha (Cambess.) A.C. Sm., Hippocratea volubilis L., Peritassa flaviflora A.C. Sm., Peritassa mexiae A.C.Sm., Pristimera nervosa (Miers) A.C. Sm., Salacia crassifolia (Mart. ex Schult.) G. Don, Tontelea fluminensis (Peyr.) A.C. Sm., Tontelea leptophylla A.C. Sm. e Tontelea miersii (Peyr.) A.C. Sm. Os caracteres anatômicos selecionados como diagnósticos para a taxonomia dos diferentes gêneros e espécies são: o tipo de esclereíde presente no pecíolo ou na lâmina foliar, o tipo de estômato, a conformação do sistema vascular do pecíolo, a sinuosidade das paredes anticlinais das células epidérmicas, a presença de hipoderme, a ocorrência de laticíferos, dentre outros.Item Colleters in 10 species belonging to three tribes of Rubiaceae: morphoanatomical diversity and potential as useful characters for taxonomy(Botany, 2015-07) Otuki, Sara Akemi Ponce; Azevedo, Aristéa Alves; Pereira, Zefa Valdivina; Meira, Renata Maria Strozi Alves; Lopes-Mattos, Karina Lucas BarbosaColleters are common secretory structures in Rubiaceae. In this study, we describe colleter morphoanatomy and histochemistry in 10 species belonging to Chiococceae, Coussareae, and Psychotrieae tribes of Rubiaceae. Colleter morphoanatomy was analyzed by light and scanning electron microscopy. Microscopy analysis revealed that colleters were present on the stipule adaxial surface in all species. In the case of Palicourea marcgravii A.St.-Hil. and Chiococca alba Hitchc., colleters were also found on leaf primordia and at the stipule apex, respectively. Colleters were classified into three types: standard, bifurcated standard, and reduced standard. Further analysis showed that colleter epidermal cells are thin-walled and possess a thin cuticle, conspicuous nuclei located at the equatorial or basal region, and abundant cytoplasm. Intercellular spaces were found among epidermal cells in Chiococca alba, Coussarea triflora Müll.Arg., Coussarea verticillata Müll.Arg., Psychotria conjungens Müll.Arg., and Psychotria sessilis Vell. Crystalliferous idioblasts containing raphides were observed in the colleter central parenchymatous axis of all species, while crystal sand was found only in Chiococca alba. Histochemical tests revealed that colleter secretion is composed of a mixture of mucilage and protein. We conclude that colleter position, typological variation, presence of vascularization, and type of calcium oxalate crystals represent promising characters for future taxonomic and phylogenetic studies in Rubiaceae.Item Morphoanatomy of Schultesia pachyphylla (Gentianaceae): a discordant pattern in the genus(Botany, 2013) Dalvi, Valdnéa Casagrande; Guimarães, Elsie Franklin; Azevedo, Aristéa AlvesSchultesia Mart. comprises 21 closely related taxa. The revision of the genus showed that Schultesia pachyphylla Griseb. and Xestaea lisianthoides Griseb. are different from other species. The aim of this study was to describe the morphoanatomy of S. pachyphylla, comparing it with other Schultesia species and X. lisianthoides, and to provide data on their geographical distribution and habitat. Morphological and anatomical data were subjected to multivariate analysis. Schultesia pachyphylla is endemic to the state of Bahia, Brazil, and is separated from the other species by having 5-merous flowers, 5-winged calyx, wings between the calyx lobes, loss of interveinal tissue on sepals during fruit maturation, dark red colored immature calyces, capsules opening from base to apex, 3-anaporate pollen grains, and epidermal papillae evident in the field. Schultesia pachyphylla has amphistomatic leaves with anisocytic stomata, uniseriate epidermis, dorsiventral mesophyll, and bicollateral vascular bundles. The stem has small wings, cortical and medullary parenchyma, and internal phloem. Foliar colleters and nectaries on leaves and stem were observed. We believe that morphological and anatomical data could support the creation of a monotypic genus or the relocation of this species into another genus. Phylogenetic analyses are in progress to define the species’ positioning.Item Anatomical characteristics as taxonomic tools for the species of Curtia and Hockinia (Saccifolieae–Gentianaceae Juss.)(Plant Systematics and Evolution, 2013-06-25) Dalvi, Valdnéa Casagrande; Meira, Renata Maria Strozi Alves; Francino, Dayana Maria Teodoro; Silva, Luzimar Campos; Azevedo, Aristéa AlvesThe delimitation of species and even support of the genera Curtia and Hockinia, monotypic genus, are still controversial. To define anatomical characteristics that help resolve taxonomic problems, the stem and leaf anatomy of seven species of Curtia and Hockinia montana are described. Some characteristics are found in both genera: leaves with uniseriate epidermis, dorsiventral mesophyll, cells of the palisade parenchyma with invaginations, basal acrodromous venation with an incomplete marginal ultimate venation, presence of colleters and nectaries, stem with small wings and internal phloem. The types of stomata, the midrib vascular bundle, and the type and distribution of nectaries were used to separate the genera. The presence/absence of crystals, the sinuosity of the anticlinal walls of the epidermal cells, the type and distribution of stomata, and the distribution of nectaries distinguish species of Curtia. Our results suggest that these anatomical characteristics are potentially useful for clarifying the taxonomy of Gentianaceae, and that they represent an additional tool for distinguishing genera and identifying species of Curtia, particularly pointing out the need to revise the synonymy between C. patula and C. tenuifolia. We also highlight the first report of leaf nectaries and colleters in the Saccifolieae and the first record of stem nectaries in the Gentianaceae.Item Leaf anatomy as an additional taxonomy tool for 16 species of Malpighiaceae found in the Cerrado area (Brazil)(Plant Systematics and Evolution, 2010-04-14) Araújo, Josiane Silva; Azevedo, Aristéa Alves; Silva, Luzimar Campos; Meira, Renata Maria Strozi AlvesThis work describes the leaf anatomy of 16 species belonging to three genera of the Malpighiaceae family found in the Cerrado (Minas Gerais State, Brazil). The scope of this study was to support the generic delimitation by contributing to the identification of the species and constructing a dichotomous identification key that includes anatomical characters. The taxonomic characters that were considered to be the most important and used in the identification key for the studied Malpighiaceae species were as follows: the presence and location of glands; presence of phloem in the medullary region of the midrib; mesophyll type; presence and type of trichomes; and presence, quantity, and disposition of accessory bundles in the petiole. It was also possible to indicate promising characters for future taxonomic and phylogenetic studies in the Malpighiaceae family, especially for the Banisteriopsis, Byrsonima, and Heteropterys genera.
