Micropropagation of umburana de cheiro /Micropropagacao de umburana de cheiro

Umburana de cheiro is a species native to the Caatinga, widely used by local people, beca-use the value of timber, ornamental, forage and especially medicinal. Considering the significant risk of extinction and the ausence of studies related to the cultive and propagation, the aim of this work was to establish a protocol for micropropagation Amburana cearensis. For this, we evaluated the influence of plant growth regulator BAP at five different concentrations (0.0, 2.22, 4.44, 8.88 and 17.76mM) on the in vitro multiplication of different explants (nodal segments, apex cotyledon and stem segment) and the rooting stage we tested different concentrations of IBA (0.0, 2.5, 5.0 and 10.0mM) in the presence and absence of 1.0g L1 of activated charcoal. Highest number of shoots (2.36) was obtained in 4.44mM of BAP from cotyledonary segment and higher rooting percentage (92.0%) ocurred in 10.0mM of IBA in the absence of activated charcoal. There were no difficulties to the establishment of micropropagation protocol A. cearensis.
