Some plant species allow the cutting of the apical meristem in order to assist activities of genetic improvement programs, among them is the soybean. The objective was to verify if the removal of the apical meristem of soybean plants induces any alteration in the stem anatomy, since it was verified that the removal of the apical meristem reduces the need for tutoring of the plants cultivated under greenhouse conditions. The experiment was conducted with plants of the BRSMG 752S cultivar and the treatments consisted of sections of the hypocotyl region of plants that had undergone apical meristem removal at the V2 development stage and of plants without apical meristem removal. The permanent slides were processed following the usual methodologies in plant anatomy. Descriptions and measurements of anatomical tissues were made for comparison between treatments. Plants with removal presented epidermis as a covering tissue until 20 days after the V2 development stage, while plants without removal of the apical meristem presented it until 30 days after V2. Periderm was observed only in plants with removal, and this feature was not evident in plants without removal until 30 days after V2. There was formation of secondary vascular tissues in the collections 30 days after removal (V2 stage). Thus, we conclude that the removal of the apical meristem accelerates the secondary development in hypocotyls of soybean plants grown under greenhouse conditions.
Os tratamentos industriais de sementes (TS) possibilitam um maior controle de patógenos, a adição de microrganismos, revestimento de sementes ou pellets, tratamento com compostos fisiológicos, aumento da produtividade, rendimento e um menor impacto ambiental no uso de defensivos. O uso de pesticidas no TS é uma tecnologia recente, utilizada como ferramenta importante para a proteção das culturas. Entre os pesticidas amplamente utilizados, destaca-se o tiametoxam, um neonicotinóide com características de bioativador, não possuindo uma descrição completa e holística de sua ação metabólica nos tecidos vegetais. O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar as respostas metabólicas e fisiológicas de plantas de soja submetidas ao TS com tiametoxam e inoculantes (Bradyrhizobium elkanni e B. japonicum). A metabolômica não direcionada e as trocas gasosas abordadas foram utilizadas para entender o impacto do TS nas plantas de soja. Foi possível traçar o perfil metabólico dessas plantas submetidas ao tratamento, permitindo verificar o efeito em três principais vias vegetais: metabolismo de defesa, metabolismo de nitrogênio e metabolismo de carboidratos, todas sendo melhoradas. Verificou se também que apesar da não alteração de parâmetros fotossintéticos pelo uso do TS, houve maior síntese de metabolitos de importância aos mais diversos aspectos vegetais. A ação metabólica do tratamento industrial de sementes na cultura da soja, proporciona um efeito positivo para o desenvolvimento inicial da cultura. Palavras-chave: Metabolômica. Tratamento de sementes. Tiametoxam.
