Secretory structures are responsible for the production, isolation and / or release of special metabolites in plants. They occur as individualized cells or as multicellular structures of varying forms in almost every part of the plant body. They are a prominent subject in Botany, because they exhibit great morphological and chemical diversity, and play an important role in plant-animal an…
This proposal aims to compare the morphology of the developing flower in the clade of urticalean rosids, which comprises Ulmaceae, Cannabaceae, Urticaceae and Moraceae. This group share characteristics mostly from the flower, considered to be reduced in relation to other angiosperms: small, inconspicuous, diclinous (= unisexual), with missing perianth or one-whorled perianth, one-whorled …

Humulus lupulus L. (hop) stands out in the Cannabaceae family for its importance in the production of compounds such as lupulin extracted from its pistillate flowers for flavoring beer. This project aims to study the developmental stages of pistillate and staminate flowers of this species, in order to understand the processes that lead to the formation of atypical floral characteristics, …
The study of secretory structures in plant species has huge importance inside Botany, and even in Biological Sciences, due to its applications in several areas of human knowledge. The laticifers, one of those secretory structures, are characterized by the production of an emulsion, denominated latex, responsible for having many chemical compounds, of the most varied functions on the inter…
The study of the nature of secretory structures in plants is one of the botanic areas with great spotlight due to its multidisciplinary aspect. These structures show an enormous variety in type, location in the plant body and chemical nature of its secretions. In the Rhamnaceae family, commonly known by its popular name Buckthorns or by its notable species like the Japanese raisin and the…
Cyperaceae is considered the third largest family of monocotyledonous comprising 104 genera, with about 5,000 widely distributed species. Cyperaceae together with Thruniaceae and Juncaceae form the Cyperid clade. The family has important cytological features as holokinetic chromosomes and post-reductional meiosis. Furthermore, no tetrad is formed during the androsporogenesis; the four nuc…

The latex is a suspension of diverse molecules dispersed in a fluid with a differentiated refractive index. Considering the large number of latex-producing plant species and the diversity of the compounds present in this type of exudate, there is still a gap in the knowledge of the latex constituents in some families. In Moraceae, the presence of latex throughout the plant is considered t…
Calcium oxalate crystals are highly insoluble crystalline salt of oxalic acid and calcium, and occur in almost plant tissues. The morphology and spatial distribution of a crystal are conservative characters with a certain group, and can have taxonomic value, as seen in Melastomataceae. This family is recognized by lack of wall thickening in endothecial cells, the subepidermal layer of the…
