Resumo -Stylosanthes macrocephala M. B. Ferr. et S. Costa é uma leguminosa utilizada sob consorciação em pastagens, adubação e recuperação de áreas degradadas. A falta de características morfológicas e agronômicas estáveis e de informações ecogeográficas dos locais de coleta dos acessos tem dificultado o melhoramento genético da espécie. A fim de obter descritores ecológicos, moleculares e avaliar a variabilidade genética da coleção de S. macrocephala, 87 acessos foram analisados com o auxílio do Sistema de Informações Geográficas (SIG) e de marcadores moleculares RAPD. Os acessos provieram de sete Estados, cinco bacias hidrográficas, sete tipos de vegetação e sete tipos de solos. As altitudes dos locais de coleta variaram de 1 a 1.298 m e a pluviometria anual média de 550 a 2.870 mm. A variabilidade de descritores ecológicos sugeriu diversidade adaptativa na coleção. Com base em 161 marcadores RAPD, verificou-se que as distâncias genéticas entre os acessos de S. macrocephala variaram entre 0,02 e 0,42. Com base nessas distâncias, dez grupos de similaridade genética foram estabelecidos. Observou-se tendência de separação por bacias hidrográficas e elevada variabilidade genética entre os acessos coletados nos estados da Bahia e de Minas Gerais. A alta variabilidade genética da coleção de S. macrocephala evidencia a importância desses acessos para futuros trabalhos de melhoramento genético.Termos para indexação: diversidade genética, marcadores moleculares, germoplasma, leguminosa forrageira, Sistema de Informação Geográfica. Genetic and ecological variability of Stylosanthes macrocephala determined by RAPD markers and GISAbstract -Stylosanthes macrocephala M. B. Ferr et S. Costa is a leguminous species used as forage, cover crop and as a pioneer plant to recover degraded areas. Inexistence of stable morphological descriptors and lack of ecogeographic information about collecting sites bring difficulties to the studies of this species. The objective of this work was to use the geographic information system (GIS) and RAPD markers to obtain ecological and molecular descriptors and to study the genetic variability of 87 S. macrocephala accessions. The accessions were collected from different ecogeographical areas in seven Brazilian States, five hydrographic regions, seven vegetation types and seven soil types. Collecting sites ranged from 1 to 1,298 m above sea level with annual rainfall from 550 to 2,870 mm. Accession distribution along those diverse ecosystems indicate high adaptive diversity. Using 161 RAPD markers, genetic distances between accessions ranged from 0.02 to 0.42. These genetic distances allowed the establishment of ten genetic groups. Accessions collected in specific hydrographic region tended to be grouped in the same genetic group. Accessions collected in Bahia and Minas Gerais States showed high genetic variability. The high genetic variability observed in the accessions showed the importance of this S. macrocephala collection for breeding programs.

Stokes -Rubiaceae) from the Amazon region (original habitat) and from biotechnology process, subjected to different treatments of interception of solar radiation". The poaia or ipeca (Psychotria ipecacuanha (Brot.) Stokes.-Rubiaceae) although its farmacological and partner-economic value is each less frequent time in its habitat. The objective of this work was to carry through the comparative study of the morpho-anatomics aspects between the originary species of the Brazilian Amazônia and gotten in vitro submitted the different treatments of interception of solar radiation, aiming at, of this form, to give has supported the studies with preservation ends, culture, pharmacognostic/pharmacopeic validation and to extend the biotechnological knowledge of this species. The native species was gotten of breaks up of bush (phase vegetative) and used for micropropagation through the culture in vitro of fragments of internodais segments on way of culture Murashige & Skoog with the plant growth regulator BAP (2.0 mg/l growth). Plantlet was gotten that they had been transferred to house of vegetation per 2 years under two types of environment and three different treatments of interception of the solar radiation. The morpho-anatomic study was made, statistics analyzed. And is verified that the plants originated for biotechnological process and submitted to the different treatments present similar morphology to the native plant, however evidenced a bigger number of secondary roots, does not have significant difference between widths and lengths of leaves, length of roots, internodais, stipules, weight of roots and rhizomes. But, difference was observed statistics in the length of stem in relation to the native.Keywords: Psychotria ipecacuanha, Rubiaceae, morpho-anatomy, biotecnology. 277Estudo morfoanatômico comparativo entre a poaia (Psychotria ipecacuanha (Brot.)
