Longevidade de sementes de Astronium fraxinifolium Schott: estudos fisiológicos, bioquímicos e moleculares

Abstract

Sementes de diferentes espécies, armazenadas na mesma condição em bancos de germoplasma, apresentam respostas distintas quanto à perda de sua viabilidade. Atualmente, somente o teste de germinação é usado para avaliar a qualidade fisiológica de sementes em bancos de germoplasma e outros métodos ainda são necessários para prever a longevidade de sementes. A espécie Astronium fraxinifolium Schott é uma árvore das regiões da Amazônia, Cerrado e Caatinga, ameaçada de extinção, que apresenta sementes não dormentes e que germinam rapidamente. O objetivo do presente trabalho foi estudar a longevidade de sementes de A. fraxinifolium, coletadas em diversos locais de duas regiões geográficas distintas e avaliar o transcriptoma. Sementes de dez acessos de A. fraxinifolium, sendo seis coletados no estado de Goiás (GO) e quatro em Minas Gerais (MG) foram avaliados. Foram realizados pré-testes para determinar a melhor temperatura para germinação e o tempo para iniciar a protrusão da radícula. Testes de envelhecimento, condutividade elétrica, teor de malonaldeído e análise do transcriptoma foram realizados. A temperatura ótima de germinação foi de 30° C e os primeiros eventos de protrusão radicular ocorreram após 20 horas de embebição. Sementes coletadas em Goiás apresentaram maior viabilidade e longevidade após os testes de envelhecimento para todas as condições testadas e os acessos GO 6 e MG 2 apresentaram, respectivamente, a maior e menor longevidade após o envelhecimento. O teste de condutividade elétrica não foi adequado para avaliar a longevidade dos acessos e a avaliação do teor de malonaldeído foi considerado um teste promissor para avaliar a longevidade de sementes de A. fraxinifolium. Foi realizada análise de RNASeq para avaliar os transcriptomas de eixos embrionários de sementes dos acessos GO 6 e MG 2, com sementes envelhecidas e não envelhecidas. Os genes expressos diferencialmente foram relacionados aos processos de transcrição de RNA, kinases, ubiquitinas, metabolismo de amido, microtúbulos, componentes de membrana, polimerase e transporte de carboidratos e zinco.

Seeds of different species stored under the same conditions differently lose their viability. Currently, the physiological quality of seeds stored in genebanks is evaluated only by the germination test and other methods are still needed to predict seed viability.The species Astronium fraxinifolium Schott is a tree in the Amazonian regions, Cerrado and Caatinga, which presents seeds that are non-dormant and which germinate rapidly. The goal of this work was to study the longevity of seeds A. fraxinifolium collected at several sites from two different geographic regions, and assess the transcriptome. For that, seeds from ten accessions of A. fraxinifolium were collected (six in the state of Goiás (GO) and four in Minas Gerais (MG) and evaluated. Pre-tests were performed to determine the optimal germination temperature and the onset of the radicle protrusion. Aging tests, electrical conductivity, malonaldehyde content and transcriptome analysis were performed. The optimal germination temperature was 30o C and the first radicle protrusion events occurred after 20 hours of imbibition. Seeds collected in Goiás displayed higher viability and longevity after aging in all tested conditions and seeds from accessions GO 6 and MG 2 showed, respectively, the highest and lowest longevity indexes after aging. The electrical conductivity test was not adequate to evaluate the longevity of the accessions and the assessment of the malonaldehyde content was considered a promising test to assess the longevity of A. fraxinifolium seeds. RNASeq analysis was performed to evaluate the transcripts of embryonic axes of seeds of the GO 6 and MG 2 accessions, with aged and unaged seeds. Differentially expressed genes were related to RNA transcription processes, kinases, ubiquitin, starch metabolism, microtubules, membrane components, polymerase, and transport of carbohydrates and zinc.
