          Abstract

          ABSTRACT Spondias bahiensis, commonly called umbu-cajá, is native to Brazilian semiarid areas and is an important economic plant in the country’s Northeast region. The study of its reproductive biology is essential to understand phenomena related to seed and fruit formation and the environment in which the plants are embedded. Here we describe the reproductive biology of Spondias bahiensis under conditions of Recôncavo da Bahia. Pollen grain viability was assessed through histochemical tests and in vitro germination. Stigma receptivity was determined using a hydrogen peroxide and α-naphthyl acetate solution. The reproductive systems were examined in the field and classified as autogamous and self-incompatible. We observed floral visitors for 150 hours. The average time between flowering and fruit harvest was approximately 180 days. The species blooms from September to December and fruits from October to December. Spondias bahiensis presents hermaphrodite and staminate flowers. Anthesis is diurnal, starting at 4 a.m. We noted high percentages of pollen grain viability. Stigmatic receptivity occurs concurrently with anthesis and lasts for over 24 hours after floral opening. The main floral visitors are bees. The species is self-incompatible and preferentially allogamous, with a tendency to be self-sterile and dependent on pollinators. The knowledge acquired from this study enables formulating strategies for conservation of the species and developing genetic improvement programs, besides helping to consolidate productivity and fruit quality, thus expanding the market, increasing the value of the products and enabling the establishment of organized commercial plantations.

          RESUMO Spondias bahiensis, também conhecida como umbu-cajá, é nativa do semiárido brasileiro e representa uma importante alternativa econômica para a região Nordeste. O estudo da biologia reprodutiva é imprescindível para entender os fenômenos relacionados à formação das sementes e frutos e do ambiente em que os organismos estão inseridos. Objetivou-se estudar a biologia reprodutiva de Spondias bahiensis nas condições do Recôncavo da Bahia. A viabilidade dos grãos de pólen foi realizada por meio de testes histoquímicos e germinação in vitro. A receptividade do estigma foi determinada com peróxido de hidrogênio e solução de α-naftil acetato. Os sistemas reprodutivos foram verificados em campo e determinados pelos índices de autogamia e autoincompatibilidade. Foram realizadas 150 horas de observações dos visitantes florais. O tempo médio entre o florescimento até a colheita de frutos foi de aproximadamente 180 dias. A espécie floresce entre setembro a dezembro e frutifica de outubro a dezembro. Spondias bahiensis apresenta flores hermafroditas e estaminadas. A antese é diurna, com início às 4 h. Altas porcentagens de viabilidade dos grãos de pólen foram observados. A receptividade estigmática ocorre juntamente à antese permanecendo até mais de 24h após a abertura floral. Os principais visitantes florais são as abelhas. A espécie apresentou autoincompatibilidade e alogamia preferencial, com tendência autoestéril e depende de polinizadores. O conhecimento adquirido possibilita estabelecer estratégias para a conservação da espécie, desenvolver programa de melhoramento genético, bem como, contribuir para a consolidação da produtividade e qualidade do fruto, ampliando o mercado, valorando os produtos e possibilitando plantios comerciais organizados.

          Sisvar: a Guide for its Bootstrap procedures in multiple comparisons

          Sisvar is a statistical analysis system with a large usage by the scientific community to produce statistical analyses and to produce scientific results and conclusions. The large use of the statistical procedures of Sisvar by the scientific community is due to it being accurate, precise, simple and robust. With many options of analysis, Sisvar has a not so largely used analysis that is the multiple comparison procedures using bootstrap approaches. This paper aims to review this subject and to show some advantages of using Sisvar to perform such analysis to compare treatments means. Tests like Dunnett, Tukey, Student-Newman-Keuls and Scott-Knott are performed alternatively by bootstrap methods and show greater power and better controls of experimentwise type I error rates under non-normal, asymmetric, platykurtic or leptokurtic distributions.
