Descripción
Background and aims: Baccharis notosergila is an aggressive weed inhabiting the Salado river basin, Buenos Aires province, Argentina. The aims were: to analyze the morpho-anatomy and histochemistry of aerial vegetative organs in order to understand the adaptation strategies that ensure its survival, as well as to expand knowledge on traits determining resistance to the control methods applied. M&M: The material collected was prepared and examined with conventional techniques of microscopy. Histochemical tests were performed. Results: The major features found were small and deciduous leaves; uniseriate epidermis with massive and striate cuticle; stomata at level or slightly above the other epidermal cells and glandular trichomes secreting oily substances; stomata on both surfaces and isobilateral mesophyll. Starch, phenolic and lipophilic substances, and resins were identified in leaves and stems, and calcium oxalate crystals in leaves, stems and capitate trichomes. Conclusions: The aerial vegetative organs features of B. notosergila explain its tolerance to the unfavorable conditions of the Salado river basin area, as well as its competitive ability over others species of the natural prairie. The reduced and deciduous leaves, the epidermal traits, and chemical substances found constitute a physical and chemical barrier reducing dehydration as well as the penetration of the herbicides applied for its control. Botanical knowledge of B. notosergila is the basis to develop new and appropiate management methods for this species.
Introducción y objetivos: Baccharis notosergila es una maleza agresiva que habita la Depresión del Salado, provincia Buenos Aires, Argentina. Los objetivos de este trabajo fueron: analizar la morfo-anatomía e histoquímica de los órganos vegetativos aéreos para entender las estrategias de adaptación que aseguran su sobrevivencia, así como profundizar el conocimiento sobre los caracteres que determinan la resistencia a los métodos de control. M&M: El material recolectado fue preparado y analizado con técnicas convencionales para microscopía. Se realizaron pruebas histoquímicas para identificar almidón, resinas, polifenoles y sustancias lipofílicas. Resultados: Los principales caracteres encontrados fueron las hojas pequeñas y caedizas, anfistomáticas con mesofilo isobilateral; la epidermis uniseriada, cutícula masiva y estriada, estomas a nivel o ligeramente elevados y tricomas glandulares que secretan sustancias oleosas. Los tests histoquímicos dieron reacción positiva para almidón, taninos y sustancias lipofílicas en las hojas y tallos; polifenoles, resinas y aceites fueron identificados en los conductos y se hallaron cristales de oxalato de calcio en las hojas, tallos y tricomas capitados. Conclusiones: Las características de los órganos vegetativos aéreos de B. notosergila explican su tolerancia a las condiciones desfavorables del área de la Depresión del Salado, así como su alta habilidad competitiva y predominancia sobre otras especies de la pradera natural. Las hojas pequeñas y deciduas, sus características epidérmicas y sustancias químicas encontradas constituyen una barrera física y química para la deshidratación así como la penetración de los herbicidas aplicados para su control. El conocimiento botánico de B. notosergila es la base para el diseño y desarrollo de nuevos y apropiados métodos para el manejo de esta especie.
