Fitotoxicidade e análise fitoquímica a partir de folhas de cinco espécies de Cerrado

Abstract

A alelopatia é usualmente definida como qualquer processo que envolva a produção de metabólitos secundários, por plantas e/ou microrganismos, que influenciam o desenvolvimento de sistemas biológicos. Há uma imensa variedade de compostos com este tipo de atividade, sendo sua produção alterada por fatores ambientais. Neste contexto, este estudo teve como objetivo avaliar o efeito fitotóxico de extratos aquosos de folhas de Byrsonima intermedia, Gochnatia polymorpha, Luehea candicans, Miconia chamissois e Qualea cordata, coletadas em diferentes períodos do ano (estação seca e chuvosa), sobre a germinação e o crescimento inicial de uma monocotiledônea, Zea mays L. (milho), e de uma eudicotiledônea, Cucumis sativus L. (pepino). Para tanto, foram realizados experimentos de germinação e crescimento inicial com extratos das cinco espécies de Cerrado, sendo avaliada a porcentagem de germinação, a velocidade de germinação e o sincronismo das sementes-alvo bem como o comprimento da raiz primária, da parte aérea e o número de raízes secundárias das plântulas-alvo. De modo geral, tanto a germinação quanto o crescimento inicial foram alterados pelos extratos analisados. Isto foi observado tanto para milho quanto para pepino. Além disso, a sazonalidade climática influenciou na atividade fitotóxica dos extratos, entretanto, os efeitos variaram de acordo com a espécie avaliada. De acordo com os resultados obtidos, conclui-se que os extratos aquosos foliares das espécies estudadas são fitotóxicos e que a sazonalidade climática influencia na sua fitotoxicidade

Allelopathy is usually defined as any process involving the production of secondary metabolites by plants and/or microorganisms that influence the development of biological systems. There is a great variety of compounds with this type of activity, being their production altered by environmental factors. In this study aimed to evaluate the phytotoxic effect of aqueous extracts of leaves of Byrsonima intermedia, Gochnatia polymorpha, Luehea candicans, Miconia chamissois and Qualea cordata, collected in different seasons (dry and rainy seasons), on germination and early growth of a monocot, Zea mays L. (corn), and a eudicot, Cucumis sativus L. (cucumber). Thus, we carried out germination and early growth experiments with extracts of five species of Cerrado, being evaluated the germination percentage, the germination speed and the synchronism of the target seeds and the primary root length, shoot and the number of secondary roots of target seedlings. In general, both the germination and the early growth were altered by analyzed extracts. This was observed for both maize and cucumber. In addition, the seasonality influenced in the phytotoxic activity of extracts, however the effects varied with the species studied. According to the results, it is concluded that the leaf aqueous extracts of species studied are phytotoxic and that the seasonality influences in their phytotoxicity
