Conhecimento local, diversidade morfo-genética como subsídios para conservação da mangaba

Abstract

One of the challenges in the conservation of genetic resources is the identification of areas for collection, maintenance and preservation of seeds, especially recalcitrant, for in situ and ex situ conservation. Thus, through four articles is intended to identify areas with potential naturally occuring mangaba using modeling techniques by Maxent software using environmental variables, as well as to characterize the morpho-genetic diversity using local and scientific knowledge by the analysis of fruits, and conservation of seeds in order to guarantee the viability in the storage. It is observed distribution of populations intensively on the coast, with higher occurrence in the municipalities of Greater Aracaju and Japoatã, Pacatuba, Nossa Senhora das Dores, Malhador, Estancia, Arauá and Itabaianinha. To evaluate the traditional knowledge of the catchers of mangabas inserted into remaining forests, five associations were selected (Baixa Grande, Pontal, Porteiras, Riboleirinha and Manuel Dias). It was observed that the classification of fruit occurs according to color and there are differences among the collection locations for morphometric and physical- chemical (pH, titratable acidity, soluble solids) traits. Baixa Grande seeds (Pirambu-SE) were stored at 10 ° C in polyethylene glycol 6000 to -0.8 MPa and it was observed that viability can be maintained until the third month. Four natural population (111 individuals) were evaluated by of molecular markers ISSR. The population of Baixa Grande presented the highest number of observed and effective alleles (1.99 and 1.61). The number of polymorphic loci was 71 (95% Polymorphism). The differences in morphological characteristics of mangaba can be used for selection of genotypes. The information resulting from this research are subsidies for management and conservation aiming to increase the diversity of mangaba in the state of Sergipe.
