RESUMO
UNLABELLED: The direct induction of adventitious buds and somatic embryos from explants is a morphogenetic process that is under the influence of exogenous plant growth regulators and its interactions with endogenous phytohormones. We performed an in vitro histological analysis in peach palm (Bactris gasipaes Kunth) shoot apexes and determined that the positioning of competent cells and their interaction with neighboring cells, under the influence of combinations of exogenously applied growth regulators (NAA/BAP and NAA/TDZ), allows the pre-procambial cells (PPCs) to act in different morphogenic pathways to establish niche competent cells. It is likely that there has been a habituation phenomenon during the regeneration and development of the microplants. This includes promoting the tillering of primary or secondary buds due to culturing in the absence of NAA/BAP or NAA/TDZ after a period in the presence of these growth regulators. Histological analyses determined that the adventitious roots were derived from the dedifferentiation of the parenchymal cells located in the basal region of the adventitious buds, with the establishment of rooting pole, due to an auxin gradient. Furthermore, histological and histochemical analyses allowed us to characterize how the PPCs provide niches for multipotent, pluripotent and totipotent stem-like cells for vascular differentiation, organogenesis and somatic embryogenesis in the peach palm. The histological and histochemical analyses also allowed us to detect the unicellular or multicellular origin of somatic embryogenesis. Therefore, our results indicate that the use of growth regulators in microplants can lead to habituation and to different morphogenic pathways leading to potential niche establishment, depending on the positioning of the competent cells and their interaction with neighboring cells. KEY MESSAGE: Our results indicate that the use of growth regulators in microplants can lead to habituation and to different morphogenic pathways leading to potential niche establishment, depending on the positioning of the competent cells and their interaction with neighboring cells.

Pejibaye is a good alternative for the extractive exploration of species such as juçara and açaí. However, when it is produced by seeds its planting is heterogeneous, which makes micropropagation a good alternative for cultivation in large scale. This study aimed to evaluate the influence of the interaction between ammonium nitrate and potassium nitrate on peach palm somatic embryos rooting in vitro cultivated, for optimization of the micropropagation protocol. The embryos were inoculated in MS medium with different concentrations of NH4NO3 and KNO3. Morphophisyologic parameters of root development were measured at 120 and 240 days of cultivation. At 120 days, at lower nitrogen concentrations, roots were stimulated to grow and major root branching occurred at low concentrations of NH4NO3 and high concentrations of KNO3. At 240 days, there was a reduction of the root growing, with more percentage of thin roots. It was concluded that up to 120 days, the microplants should be cultivated in culture medium with lower concentrations of NH4NO3 and higher concentrations of KNO3 than those recommended by MS medium, and after this period they should be cultivated at the recommended doses.
A pupunheira tem se mostrado boa alternativa à exploração extrativista de espécies como juçara e açaí. Porém, quando produzida via sementes apresenta plantio heterogêneo, o que torna a micropropagação ótima alternativa para seu cultivo em larga escala. O experimento objetivou avaliar a influência da interação entre nitrato de amônio e nitrato de potássio no enraizamento de microplantas obtidas a partir do desenvolvimento in vitro de embriões somáticos de pupunheiras, visando otimizar seu protocolo de micropropagação. Os embriões foram inoculados em meio MS com diferentes concentrações de NH4NO3 e KNO3. Aos 120 e 240 dias de cultivo, foram avaliados parâmetros morfofisiológicos do desenvolvimento radicular. Aos 120 dias, nas concentrações mais baixas de nitrogênio, houve estímulo ao crescimento das raízes e a maior ramificação radicular ocorreu com baixas concentrações de NH4NO3 e altas de KNO3. Aos 240 dias, notou-se redução do crescimento radicular e raízes finas prevalecentes. Conclui-se que até 120 dias as microplantas devem ser mantidas em meio com concentrações menores de NH4NO3 e maiores de KNO3 que as empregadas no meio MS, voltando para as concentrações usuais após esse período.
