Determinação do modo de reprodução em capim-gordura (Melinis minutiflora Beauv.) por padrões enzimáticos Detection of the mode of reproduction in molasses grass (Melinis minutiflora Beauv.) by enzyme patterns

Abstract

Com o objetivo de determinar o modo de reprodução do capim-gordura (Melinis minutiflora Beauv.), 24 ecótipos da coleção da Universidade Federal de Viçosa foram utilizados em cruzamentos, após emasculação massal por imersão da inflorescência em água quente, testando-se quatro faixas de temperatura. Analisaram-se, comparativamente, os padrões de isozimas dos progenitores e da descendência proveniente de panículas de polinização aberta e de panículas submetidas aos tratamentos de proteção; polinização e proteção; emasculação e proteção; e emasculação, polinização e proteção. A hipótese da apomixia ser o mecanismo reprodutivo operante no capim-gordura foi bastante favorecida pela extensiva uniformidade da progênie e semelhança isozimática com o progenitor feminino. Contribuiu para isso o fato de toda a população amostrada apresentar um padrão de bandas característico de heterozigotos para os sistemas enzimáticos leucina aminopeptidase e malato desidrogenase, uma vez que a apomixia, ao contrário da autofecundação, facilita a manutenção da heterozigosidade. Segregação isozimática entre plantas dos ecótipos CG4 e CG5, relativamente ao sistema fosfatase ácida, sugere, no entanto, a ocorrência de alguma porcentagem de fecundação cruzada, que foi confirmada pela detecção de hibridação entre os ecótipos CG2 e CG13 nas isoesterases. Esses resultados conduzem à conclusão de que um mecanismo facultativo (parcialmente sexual) de apomixia atua na reprodução do capim-gordura.Panicles of 24 molasses grass ecotypes were used in an experiment involving: bagging before anthesis; cross-pollination and bagging; emasculation and bagging; and emasculation, cross-pollination and bagging. Emasculation was accomplished by immersing the inflorescences into warm water, four temperature levels, for 12 minutes. The breeding system was accessed by comparing the isozyme patterns of the estereases, acid phosphatases, leucine aminopeptidases and malato dehydrogenases of the parental generations with their offsprings. The high uniformity of patterns obtained in the offsprings, the identical patterns found for both the female parents and their respectives progenies and also the presence of banding patterns, characteristically shown by heterozygotes of the leucine aminopeptidase and malato dehydrogenase systems, are strong evidences for the hypothesis of apomictic reproduction in this species. In addiction, the isozymatic segregation for acid phosphatase observed in plants of CG4 and CG5 ecotypes and the detection of hybrids from CG2 x CG3 crosses, are indicating that the apomixis in molasses grass is facultative.
