Campomanesia adamantium and Campomanesia pubescens are morphologically similar, occur in the same regions of the Cerrado, are difficult to differentiate and exhibit naturally slow growth and development. The objectives of this study were to analyze fruit and seed biometric data, emergence capacity and seedling growth characteristics. Fruit from both species was collected and used to measure biometric data of the fruit and seeds and to set up two emergence and two seedling growth experiments. C. adamantium fruit is round and has wider, pale yellow seeds while C. pubescens fruit is ellipsoidal to pyriform with yellow gold seeds. C. adamantium’s greater fresh fruit mass and biometric variability favors selection of promising material for commercialization. Seed drying reduced the speed and rate of seedling emergence of C. adamantium, but had no effect on C. pubescens. Leaf number, height, shoot dry weight and the ratio of shoot dry weight to root dry weight were greater in C. adamantium than in the slower growing C. pubescens. Increases in substrate volume favor seedling development. Slow-release fertilizer application at 1g per 115 cm3 substrate increased leaf formation, plant height and shoot dry weight of seedlings of both species and lateral budding in C. adamantium. Until 120 days after transplant, lateral budding was not observed in C. pubescens seedlings. For all traits evaluated in this experiment, C. adamantium seedling growth was greater than that of C. pubescens.

Savannah is the second biome in biodiversity in Brazil, presenting great vegetation endemism. Dipteryx alata Vog. (Fabaceae), native from this biome, is an economically important species, with an incipient market due to the lack of commercial plantations. This highlights the need to develop and provide the basis for the domestication of this species. Thus, this study determined the best conditions for in vitro establishment, multiplication, elongation and rooting of stem tips of D. alata plantlets grown vitro. Two culture media (MS and WPM) were evaluated in different salt concentrations (25, 50, 75 and 100%) for plantlet establishment. Four concentrations of 6– Benzylaminopurine (BAP) (0, 1, 2, 3 and 4 mg L-1) amended with 0.25 mg L-1 naphthalene-acetic acid (NAA) were studied for multiplication. Simultaneous elongation and rooting were studied with four concentrations of NAA (0, 1, 2, 3 and 4 mg L-1) together with 0.5 mg L-1 IBA. The variables analyzed were: shoot length (CPA), root length (CP), fresh matter (MF), dry matter (MSC), stem diameter (DC) and number of leaves (NF), 120 days after inoculation, with the exception of number of shoots, which was evaluated in the multiplication stage only. The medium MS at the original salt concentration (100%) was effective for the in vitro establishment of E. alata, resulting in greater root length (27.65 cm) and number of leaves per plantlet (26.0). The concentration of 4 mg L-1 BAP was the best one for multiplication; however, greater concentrations can boost multiplication. The effect of NAA and IBA were noticeable on in vitro elongation and rooting, with best CPA (3.14 cm) and CR (15.84 cm). Therefore, it is possible to state that the medium MS increases the success probability of in vitro establishment of stem tips of Dipteryx alata. NAA concentrations below 3 mg L-1 were favorable for in vitro development of the species, with essential characteristics for acclimatization success|.

Light varies widely in both time and space in forest formation of “Bioma Cerrado”. Cybistax antisyphilitica occurs in areas typical of this biome, such as cerrado sensu stricto, “cerradões”, and altered areas. The aim of this study was to understand the morphological and physiological responses of C. antisyphilitica to alterations in light intensity. Juvenile plants (5 month of age) were taken to a fragment of semideciduous forest in Uberlândia-MG, and were divided into three treatments: 50 were maintained under the canopy (UC) 20 were kept in small gap (SG) and 20 were maintained under in full sun (FS). The daily courses of chlorophyll a fluorescence were made at the beginning, middle and end of dry season in 2015. At the end of the experiment measurements of chlorophyll content, gas exchange and growth were made. The plants showed dynamic photoinhibition as exhibited by reductions on Fv/Fm close to midday at the end of the dry season. Regarding the effective quantum yield (ΔF/Fm'), plants under FS showed reduced values that coincided with the higher values of electron transport rates (ETR). Plants under FS showed higher values of net CO2 assimilation rates, stomatal conductance, transpiration rates, water use efficiency and chlorophyll content compared to plants under UC. The stem diameter, dry mass of leaves and stem, total dry mass and relative growth rate were higher in plants under FS than plants under UC. On the other hand, plants under UC showed superior values of height, specific leaf area and leaf area ratio. Our results indicate that C. antisyphilitica has plasticity to survive in the contrasting light environments of the semideciduous forests, but this species was able to growth better under full sun conditions.
