Abstract :
S. oleraceais a species belonging to the family Arecaceae, is popularly known as
guariroba and originally from Brazil.It is located in the tropics, lying naturally
composing the vegetation of forests in several states, such as Goiás, Minas Gerais,
MatoGrosso do Sul, MatoGrosso, Bahia, São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, Espirito Santo and
Paraná.Pollination is the process by which male reproductive cells of higher plants
(pollen grains) produced in the anthers of flowers, are transferred to the female recipient
(stigma) of the same plant or plant of the same species.Through this process, the pollen
sowing the flower stigma, beginning the formation of the pollen tube, which will
culminate with the fertilization of the egg cell.Thus the study of floral biology of this
species and other justified by the importance of this process in reproductive propagation
of species.Excessive use of pesticides in agriculture has led to numerous endangered
pollinators become the pollen grain process for unviable egg cell, which may jeopardize
the survival of many species. This work aims to study the reproductive biology of the
species Syagrus oleracea cf and its floral morphology in order to provide a basis for
understanding the pollination process of this species. Its main objectives Identify
potential pollinators of S. oleracea; Determine schedules and frequency of pollinator
species visitation; Featuring floral, external and internal morphology of S. oleracea;
Determine the presence of relevant substances and structures to their relationship to
pollinators.
