A temperatura representa um importante fator ambiental regulador da germinação de sementes. Procurou-se avaliar a resposta de sementes de D. cordata à temperatura, com base no modelo de graus-dia, testando-se assim a eficiência desse modelo em descrever o comportamento germinativo da semente em diferentes regimes térmicos. Testou-se também a resposta das sementes à luz, concluindo-se que a luz branca promove a germinação. As temperaturas mínima, ótima e máxima de germinação foram, respectivamente, 17,1, 26 e 33,4 ºC. Considerando-se que a velocidade de germinação de D. cordata variou com a temperatura numa relação aproximadamente linear, o modelo de graus-dia pode ser uma ferramenta válida para se estudar a dependência da temperatura da germinação dessas sementes. Uma possível aquisição de dormência durante a incubação isotérmica pode exigir a aplicação de outros modelos que descrevam melhor o comportamento germinativo de D. cordata em diferentes regimes térmicos.

The chloroform extract of bark of the tropical tree Qualea parviflora (Vochysiaceae) was fractionated by column chromatography on silica gel, yielding triterpenes (lupeol, lupenone, betulin, epi-betulinic acid and friedelin) and a steroid (β-sitosterol). β-sitosterol, lupenone and lupeol were also identified in Q. grandiflora and Q. multiflora, while friedelin was detected only in Q. Multiflora, by means of gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. The anti-Mycobacterium tuberculosis activity of the chloroform extract and isolated compounds was assayed by MABA and MIC values ranged from 250.0 to 31.2 µg/mL. This study is the first to investigate the chemistry and antitubercular activity of apolar compounds from Qualea species.

Species of the genus Qualea are used by the Brazilian public as a natural anti-inflammatory. Based on this evidence, we evaluated the effects of terpene fractions (βF and TF) obtained from Qualea multiflora on nitric oxide production (Griess assay), cytokines (IL-1, IL-10, IL-12, and TNF-a) and the transcription factor NF-κB by peritoneal macrophages. Since there is a relationship between inflammation and cancer, the cytotoxicity of βF and TF against mammary tumoural cell lineage, and macrophages was evaluated. Inhibition levels close to 90% of the production of NO, IL-1, IL-12 and TNF-a; about 32% of NF-κB; and a large stimulation of IL-10 production (close to the positive control) by peritoneal macrophages were observed in response to βF and TF which are correlated with anti-inflammatory activity. Additionally, the samples showed exceptional cytotoxic activity against tumoural cells but not against macrophages. Since anti-inflammatory activity is important in tumour inhibition, further examination of potential anti-cancerous activity of Qualea multiflora is warranted.

Premise of the study: Microsatellite primers were developed to investigate genetic diversity and population structure of Qualea grandiflora, a typical species of the Brazilian cerrado. Methods and Results: Eight microsatellite loci were isolated using an enrichment cloning protocol. These loci were tested on a population of 110 individuals of Q. grandiflora collected from a cerrado fragment in Sao Paulo State, Brazil. The loci polymorphism ranges from seven to 19 alleles and the average heterozygosity value is 0.568, while the average polymorphic information content is 0.799. Conclusions: The developed markers were found to be highly polymorphic, indicating their applicability to studies of population genetic diversity in Q. grandiflora
