RESUMO:Metabólitos secundários produzidos em algumas plantas podem provocar alterações no desenvolvimento de outras plantas ou até mesmo de outros organismos. O objetivo do trabalho foi avaliar o efeito alelopático de extratos aquosos de folhas de Joanesia princeps e Casearia sylvestris na germinação e no desenvolvimento inicial de plântulas de Brassica oleracea cv. capitata, Lactuca sativa cv. grand rapids e Lycopersicum esculentum. Foram testadas seis concentrações de cada extrato (10, 30, 50, 70, 90 e 100%) além do controle água destilada. Os extratos aquosos de J. princeps e C. sylvestris reduziram e, ou inibiram significativamente o percentual de geminação das sementes, o crescimento inicial da parte aérea e do sistema radicular de todas as espécies cultivadas e causaram severas anormalidades nas plântulas. Os resultados indicam a existência de potencial alelopático de J. princeps e C. sylvestris. Unitermos:Joanesia princeps, Euphorbiaceae, Casearia sylvestris, Salicaceae, alelopatia, germinação, crescimento.ABSTRACT: "Allelopathy of Joanesia princeps Vell. and Casearia sylvestris Sw. on the cultivated species". Secondary metabolites produced in some plant species can provoke development changes in other plants or even in other organisms. The objective of this work was to identify the possible allelopathic effects of the aqueous extracts of Joanesia princeps and Casearia sylvestris leaves in the germination and initial growth of Brassica oleracea cv. capitata, Lactuca sativa cv. grand rapids and Lycopersicum esculentum seedlings. Six concentrations of each extract (10, 30, 50, 70, 90 and 100%) were tested besides distilled water control. The aqueous extracts of J. princeps and C. sylvestris significantly reduced the seed germination percentage, initial growth of the aerial section and root system of all cultivated species in which they caused severe seedlings damage. The results indicate existence of allelopathic potential in J. princeps and C. sylvestris.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
