Propagação vegetativa e aplicação da silvicultura clonal em espécies arbóreas nativas do Brasil

Abstract:

Understanding the mechanisms involved in tree species maturation, related mainly to ontogenetic age effects, has contributed significantly to the vegetative propagation process of Brazilian native tree species, with consequent application of clonal forestry. A number of methodologies has been developed to rescue and vegetatively propagate these species for silvicultural and environmental restoration purposes. However, the types and purposes of propagation, as well as the choice of suitable processes and propagules considering the intended objectives, still need to be better aligned. In addition, there is an evident knowledge gap and great potential regarding the use of native tree species in Brazilian clonal forestry, indicating the need of a greater interaction between studies on the vegetative propagation and vigor of these materials in the field. Therefore, this review aims to help understand the different types of techniques used and their application on the vegetative propagation and clonal forestry of Brazilian native tree species, besides proposing a schematic sequence of the stages involved in these processes for productive and environmental purposes.

Introduction

Much has been studied and discussed regarding species well recognized by Brazilian silviculture, mainly of the genera Eucalyptus and Pinus (Xavier et al., 2013). However, there are few researches on species native to the country and most of them do not go beyond the experimental stages.

In general, in forestry, native species can be used for the following purposes: commercial, for the production of timber and non-timber products; and environmental, including the restoration of forest ecosystems. For environmental purposes, specifically in clonal forestry, certain requirements should be met for a consistent use of the tree species, particularly an adequate genetic variability in clonal plantations (Carpanezzi & Carpanezzi, 2006).

The lack of knowledge about the potential use, production technologies, and management of native tree species, whether for productive or environmental purposes, has been one of the greatest limiting factors to the application of propagation techniques in clonal forestry. This not only includes the propagation process, but also the proper selection of genetic material with sufficient quality and levels of genetic variability for the intended purposes.

For the promising use of native species in clonal forestry, there must be a full understanding of the stages that precede it, including vegetative rescue and the establishment of the basic standards to achieve the desired objectives. Studies on the application of vegetative rescue techniques to native tree species have shown important aspects for the success of clonal forestry, highlighting the effects of ontogenetic age, which may vary according to the adopted technique (Xavier et al., 2013). In the case of vegetative propagation by cuttings, the use of crown shoots of an advanced ontogenetic age reduced the percentages of propagule rooting (Ciriello & Mori, 2015). However, satisfactory rooting indexes were obtained with the use of spontaneous or induced basal sprouts, resulting in a greater efficiency in the vegetative rescue of the species (Rickli et al., 2015).

The use of juvenile shoots in the vegetative propaga-tion of native tree species has been recommended since the middle of the last century, when there was already knowledge of the effects of using basal shoots and canopy (Baptist, 1939). When mature propagules are not required, vegetative propagation is easily obtained with juvenile propagules, whether young plants or even basal epicormic sprouts (Wendling et al., 2014a; Dias et al., 2015b).

If applied consistently, vegetative propagation can be an excellent alternative for the production of plants for environmental purposes, solving the problem of low genetic variability by using a larger number of mother trees to obtain the initial propagules (Carpanezzi & Carpanezzi, 2006). This allows to vegetatively propagate species that show limitations in seminal propagation, such as seed unavailability and high acquisition cost, low germination percentages, and a long period of time for seedling production in programs aiming the restoration of degraded ecosystems (Oliveira & Ribeiro, 2013).

A number of methodologies has been developed for the rescue and vegetative propagation of native tree species for silvicultural and environmental restoration purposes. However, there has been confusion regarding the different types and purposes of propagation, as well as the choice of suitable processes and propagules considering the intended objectives. In addition, there is an evident knowledge gap and great potential regarding the use of these species in Brazilian clonal forestry, indicating the need of a greater interaction between studies on the vegetative propagation and vigor of these materials in the field. Therefore, this review aims to help understand the different types of techniques and their application in vegetative propagation and clonal forestry of Brazilian native tree species, with a detailed bibliographical survey regarding the state of the art related to these themes, as well as discussions of the knowledge gaps that need to be filled.

Induction of juvenile sprouts in Brazilian native tree species

The rejuvenation and/or reinvigoration of adult plants is a frequently adopted technique in the vegetative rescue of superior genotypes. It has been regularly used in native tree species, aiming the induction (production) of juvenile propagules, which are more suitable for vegetative propagation, especially for adventitious rooting (Dias et al., 2015b; Rickli et al., 2015), often eliminating the need for plant regulator application (Rickli et al., 2015; Stuepp et al., 2015).

Rejuvenation and/or reinvigoration in native tree species have been achieved primarily by the coppicing, girdling, semi-girdling, and drastic pruning techniques (Xavier et al., 2013). Each technique should be evaluated individually for the species/clone to be rescued and applied with the greatest efficiency possible in order to cause less damage to the mother plant, ensuring its integrity.

The use of coppicing has been efficient in the induction of epicormic sprouts in several native tree species (Santin et al., 2008; Dias et al., 2015b). However, the productivity and vigor of these stumps was not assessed in a significant number of studies, and the technique was often performed only for epicormic-sprout-producing purposes, where the focus is only propagation by cuttings (Stuepp et al., 2015). In other cases, coppicing was used for adult plant reinvigoration or even as a regrowth management technique (Sampaio et al., 2005).

Regardless of its purposes, coppicing has an excellent potential. In Hevea brasiliensis (Willd. ex A.Juss.) Müll.Arg. and Ilex paraguariensis A.St.-Hil., it has been effective when used to replace canopies through grafting (Pinheiro et al., 1988; Wendling et al., 2009b). Specifically for I. paraguariensis, in order to improve the efficiency of the cultivation process, the technique has been recommended to recover degraded plantations (Santin et al., 2008) and to produce vegetative propagules (Stuepp et al., 2016a); in both cases, a high efficiency was observed in the induction of epicormic sprouts (Table 1). The efficacy of coppicing to induce epicormic sprouts has also been shown for several other species. For Araucaria angustifolia (Bertol.) Kuntze, the technique has been applied exclusively for vegetative propagation purposes, following the principles of woody plant maturation for logging (Wendling et al., 2014a; Wendling & Brondani, 2015).

Total or partial girdling, similarly to coppicing, can be performed at different heights, always taking into account the increased maturity of sprouts from the trunk base towards the apex (Wendling et al., 2014b) (Figure 1). The two techniques cause less damage to the mother plant, which often shows low vigor, usually due to old age, genetic characteristics, or even phytosanitary conditions, when coppicing becomes impractical (Dias et al., 2015b; Stuepp et al., 2015).

The results obtained until now regarding the use of the girdling technique have been promising. However, in comparison with coppicing, a lower sprout productivity was reported (Dias et al., 2015b; Stuepp et al., 2015, 2016a; Kratz et al., 2016). It should be noted, though, that, in the case of the vegetative rescue of high-genetic-value plants, both techniques are important because they interfere less on the mother plant, better guaranteeing its survival (Kratz et al., 2016).

The efficiency of total girdling regarding the emission of epicormic sprouts has been described for some native species (Table 2). However, a limiting factor is the difficulty of performing this technique without directly reaching the cambium (Kratz et al., 2016), besides the fact that it alone causes serious and permanent damage to the girdled plants. Despite this, the adequate application of girdling may promote partial or total healing of the wound, justifying its use in vegetative rescue as a way to guarantee the maintenance of live plants (Santin et al., 2008).

Partial girdling is used even less than total girdling. The reason is that the research works that employ this vegetative rescue technique are usually not very specific, use a large number of individuals, and show little or no genetic improvement to the mother trees. Therefore, more invasive and efficient techniques are commonly adopted, such as coppicing or total girdling. Although it is less used in native tree species, partial girdling can be an excellent alternative when working with unique genetic materials, where the loss of a mother tree may result in irreparable genetic losses (Kratz et al., 2016). The efficiency in epicormic sprout emission using this technique in native tree species is lower than that of total girdling and coppicing (Tables 1 and 2), in the following order: coppicing > total girdling> partial girdling.

Other techniques for epicormic sprout induction in native tree species were evaluated, standing out pruning of canopy branches, sprouting of detached branches in a greenhouse, and stem span (Wendling et al., 2009a, 2013; Rickli et al., 2015). For A. angustifolia, pruning was carried out on the orthotropic tip (apex) of adult plants for grafting and early seed production (Wendling et al., 2016b), as well as on plagiotropic branches (lateral branches) for cuttings (Wendling et al., 2009a). The branches of this same species (Wendling et al., 2009a) and of I. paraguariensis (Wendling et al., 2013) and Campomanesia xanthocarpa O.Berg (Teleginski, 2016) were detached in a greenhouse, aiming vegetative propagation by cuttings.

Finally, stem span, a technique quite dependent on the diameter and resistance of the stem and that is generally applied to younger plants, was reported for C. xanthocarpa (Teleginski, 2016), Eremanthus erythropappus (DC.) MacLeish (Rezende, 2007), and Vochysia bifalcata Warm. (Rickli et al., 2015) (Table 2).

In summary, information on coppicing and total and partial girdling in native tree species is still scarce, with gaps regarding vegetative vigor and the ability to produce epicormic shoots, either for vegetative rescue or for the reinvigoration of senescent plants.

Vegetative rescue in Brazilian native tree species by canopy sprouts and basal epicormic shoots

Vegetative rescue in native tree species can be performed by canopy sprouts and basal epicormics shoots. Each technique has its applications, advantages, and disadvantages, defined mainly according to the species and intended results.

Vegetative rescue by canopy sprouts has been carried out mostly by cuttings, layering, and grafting. Its application in clonal forestry has been linked to the maturation of propagules, and it is recommended for the production of flowers, fruits, and seeds (Figure 1). Its main advantage is maintaining maturity characteristics associated with the propagules or other parts of adult plants, while its disadvantages are observed especially when associated with the cuttings technique, limiting or inhibiting rhizogenesis in most cases. In spite of this, this was the first method applied to evaluate rooting capacity at an experimental level in native species, due to the immediate availability of shoots, without damaging the parent plant.

The experiments with canopy sprouts performed to date showed that the rooting capacity of this type of propagule varies according to species, age of the parent plant, climatic conditions at the time of application, and the effect of the use of plant regulators (Martins et al., 2015). Over the last ten years, most obtained results were inefficient for rooting of canopy shoots; however, based on the proposed goal for the vegetative rescue of adult plants, there is no need to achieve high rooting percentages for the technique to be considered viable. This is explained by the fact that, even in reduced percentages, rooting allows the subsequent multiplication of genetic material through more efficient methodologies such as cuttings (clonal hedge), mini-cuttings (mini-clonal hedge), or even grafting. It should be highlighted though that, based on the hypothesis that a greater maturity of canopy propagules leads to better sprouting (Wendling et al., 2014b), the use of the cuttings technique is not recommended for the vegetative propagation of crown shoots (Figure 1).

There are species, however, with good aptitude for adventitious rooting of canopy shoots, standing out among them Maytenus muelleri Schwacke from plantations managed with up to 62.5% of cuttings rooted in summer (Lima et al., 2011). In spite of the good results for some tree species, the morphophysiological characteristics of this type of sprouting, in general, do not favor rooting and root vigor of the propagules. In experiments, its use tends to be evaluated jointly with methodologies for the induction of juvenile shoots that have greater aptitude for adventitious root formation (Bitencourt et al., 2009; Stuepp et al., 2016a), facilitating the vegetative rescue of native species.

Layering is not commonly used in native tree species, mainly because it is a high-cost method with low operational efficiency. However, it has a high potential for the rescue of superior genetic material, since it is only performed on the branches of the mother tree, causing little or no damage. As with the cuttings technique, the use of layering in woody species should take into account the maturity of the plant or of each part to be rescued, considering that the older the tree is, the lower is its capacity for adventitious root emission (Wendling et al., 2014b). The recommendation of layering is directly related to the productive purposes of the species to which it is being applied, since this technique uses the crown shoot, which shows characteristics related to maturity, considered essential for the production of flowers, fruits, and seeds (Figure 1). As shown in Table 3, layering has been successfully applied in some native tree species.

Similar to layering, grafting is not commonly used in the vegetative rescue of native forest tree species, but of fruit trees (Franzon et al., 2010). The efficiency of the technique depends on the compatibility between rootstock and graft (Han et al., 2013), the application environment (field or nursery) (Wendling et al., 2016a), and the physiological quality of the used propagules (Martínez-Ballesta et al., 2010), among others.

Grafting has been widely adopted in commercial horticulture and can provide great benefits for the establishment of seed orchards, with the potential use of resistant or tolerant rootstocks and more productive grafts, as proposed for A. angustifolia (Wendling, 2015; Wendling et al., 2016a). Another application of the technique is the rejuvenation of adult propagules by serial grafting on juvenile rootstocks (Wendling & Xavier, 2001; Santin et al., 2015).

Grafting is a technique that tends to be used more as the genetic improvement of native tree species evolves, being applied during the formation of clonal orchards for improved seed production and controlled crosses, as already reported for Pinus spp. and Eucalyptus spp. (Rocha et al., 2002). Its application in native tree species depends on the purpose of the rescue, since, with this technique, except serial grafting, characteristics related to the maturity of the parent plant are carried on. In general, the application of grafting tends to be more adequate when the objective is producing flowers, fruits, and seeds (Figure 1). Grafting has been a reference in the rescue of adult I. paraguariensis trees, primarily for multiplying superior genetic material (Wendling et al., 2009b) and to obtain a certain degree of graft rejuvenation from adult propagules (Santin et al., 2015).

The first studies about rooting of basal epicormic shoots in native tree species were performed on H. brasiliensis with the use of sprouts accidentally stimulated at the base of the plants (Muzik & Cruzado, 1956). More recently, several works have dealt with the rooting of propagules originating from this type of shoot in native tree species (Table 4), with the preponderant use of coppicing for the induction of epicormic shoots.

In spite of the evident efficiency of using reinvigorated propagules in the vegetative rescue of native tree species, studies on these techniques are still scarce (Bitencourt et al., 2009; Dias et al., 2015b). The use of this type of propagule can increase not only rooting success but also the physiological quality of the plants produced, reflecting in an increase in vegetative and radicular vigor (Stuepp et al., 2015).

Vegetative propagation in Brazilian native tree species

The main difference between vegetative rescue and vegetative propagation is how each technique is applied. While the purpose of rescue is to obtain at least one individual genetically identical to the parent plant, vegetative propagation aims to produce a larger number of copies (clones) on a commercial scale or not, using methodologies that favor the multiplication of these propagules. In this case, cloning techniques should be recommended for different species and purposes following a logical structure, which should take into account the basic principle of propagule maturation, considering the objective intended for each species and scenario.

Vegetative propagation or cloning has been an excellent tool for forest production in Brazil, where it has increased the productivity of forests planted with non-native species, mainly Eucalyptus spp., consolidating clonal forestry. However, regarding the vegetative propagation of native tree species, a better understanding of the intended objectives, purposes, and propagation techniques applied is still necessary.

In general, studies evaluating the vegetative propagation of Brazilian native tree species have been of an experimental nature. The exception are researches about a few species with consolidated clonal planting like H. brasiliensis and Theobroma cacao L., among others, which are nearly always justified by environmental interests such as the restoration of degraded ecosystems. This technique is an important tool for species with limitations in their sexual propagation (Stuepp et al., 2015); however, although the potential of rooting has been assessed in several families, genera, and species with this characteristic, there are no known reports on the viability of applying vegetative propagation under field conditions.

The vegetative propagation of native tree species can be divided into two groups, according to its purposes (Figure 1), which may be: environmental, for plant production; and productive, for the production of any product of forest origin, timber or non-timber. An overview of each of these purposes is presented subsequently, seeking to relate the use of propagation techniques to the objectives established for native tree species.

Vegetative propagation from juvenile parents (seedlings)

Juvenile plants obtained from seed propagation are frequently used to provide propagules of native tree species (Gratieri-Sossella et al., 2008; Lattuada et al., 2011). The reason for this is the greater ease of rooting of these propagules and also of meeting the desired objectives, considering the greater limitations involved in the vegetative propagation of adult plants (Wendling et al., 2014b).

Although used for the vegetative propagation of native tree species, this type of propagule is better supported for environmental purposes, when the main objective is to obtain the greatest genetic variability as possible. In this case, it is necessary to guarantee genetic variability for the restoration of degraded ecosystems. For this, propagules should be collected from a large number of mother trees, respecting the distance between them. According to the literature, the minimum number of unrelated regional mother trees required for environmental projects varies between 25 (Wendling et al., 2005) and 50 (Carpanezzi & Carpanezzi, 2006). In general, the use of as many mother trees as possible is recommended, avoiding the formation of a large number of clones from the same mother tree.

For productive purposes, however, this technique presents some limitations since the expression of the genetic characteristics of the plants in their adult phase is still unknown. This is important because parent plants are usually assessed for productive purposes in their adult phase, when their phenotypic characteristics start being expressed. However, the use of juvenile plants may be an excellent alternative when there is availability of genetically improved seeds (controlled crosses) or for the maintenance of seedlings pruned in nurseries, concomitant with their field evaluation, as verified for the genera Pinus spp., for example (Xavier et al., 2013).

Plants of native tree species have been cloned using juvenile propagules, as shown in a number of studies (Table 5). In most of them, high rooting percentages were observed, justified by the greater juvenility of the propagules.

Vegetative propagation from adult mother trees

Cuttings, mini-cuttings, and grafting have been used and recommended for the macropropagation of native tree species (Figure 1). These techniques clearly supply the need for qualification in mass production; however, they show marked differences regarding the productivity and physiological quality of the produced propagules, resulting in different multiplication potentials and, particularly, vegetative and root vigor.

In the case of cuttings, the technique alone does not meet the mass propagation objective, requiring adequate methodologies for propagule production through the formation of clonal hedges and selected genetic material. Clonal hedges consist of clonal clusters of plants sown directly in the soil under field or nursery conditions for the production of genetically superior propagules (Xavier et al., 2013). The use of clonal hedges in the production of native tree species is not frequent, and most of the studies developed with these species are experimental and do not require the application of mass propagation techniques (Table 5).

In H. brasiliensis, clonal hedges were basically adopted in the production of grafting stems (Lemos Filho et al., 1994). However, with increasing technology and the qualification of propagation environments, by the 1960s, plants produced by cuttings were also used (Tinley & Garner, 1960). Currently, for Hevea spp., it has been shown that clones produced by cuttings have greater morphological quality, both for the root and shoot, than those obtained by grafting and also require a shorter production period (Monteiro et al., 2015). Among the few studies on the use of clonal hedges, stand out those with the species A. angustifolia (Wendling et al., 2016c), Cariniana estrellensis Kuntze (Hernandez et al., 2013), H. brasiliensis (Tinley & Garner, 1960), Piptadenia gonoacantha J.F.Macbr. (Hernández et al., 2012), Schizolobium amazonicum Huber ex Ducke (Dias et al., 2015a), and T. cacao (Faria & Sacramento, 2003) (Table 5).

In spite of the low use in native species, experimental clonal hedges have presented high potential for propagule production, allowing adequate nutritional and phytosanitary management. The productivity and rooting indexes obtained were also greater than those found for vegetative rescue techniques.

Mini-clonal hedges consist of a set of clones established in protected environments under pruning and controlled nutritional management, according to the characteristics of the species. Mini-cuttings is an evolution of the cuttings technique, differing mainly as to the nutritional and phytosanitary control of the produced propagules. The system most applied in forest species has been the denominated semi-hydroponic, composed of a channel containing inert substrate (sand) to support the mini-stumps (Wendling et al., 2007; Xavier & Silva, 2010). However, in native species, the establishment of mini-clonal hedges in pots, tubes, or polyethylene boxes has been tested frequently (Xavier et al., 2003a, 2003b; Peña Peña et al., 2015; Peña, 2015). Considering that plant nutritional management is limited to the area available for root development, the greatest difference between these two systems lies in the productive capacity and vigor of the propagules.

In mini-clonal hedges, rooting percentage is used to qualify propagule production. For Erythrina crista-galli L., for example, while semi-hardwood cuttings from crown shoots showed rooting below 10%, mini-cuttings reached 100% (Gratieri-Sossella et al., 2008). However, it should be pointed out that, in this case, efficiency is not only linked to the mini-cuttings technique, but also directly to the maturity of the mini-stumps, i.e., rooting percentages tend to be higher when juvenile mini-stumps are used, rather than adult propagules.

Regardless of the environment where mini-stumps are cultivated, the well-managed mini-clonal hedge is the basis for success in the mass propagation of forest species. However, this technique is still underused due to the reduced number of native tree species with selected genetic material available for scaling. Its application is almost entirely for experimental purposes, but is supported by good results for several species (Table 6).

Similar to the cuttings technique, grafting can be used both for the vegetative rescue of genetic genotypes of interest and for propagation on a commercial scale (Pereira & Leal, 2012; Wendling et al., 2017b). Grafting, as a propagation technique, has a wide application in native species, especially in fruit trees, when the main objective is to maintain the maturity of the propagules (Moreira Filho & Ferreira, 2009), resulting in early flowering and, therefore, early production, besides reducing plant size (Wendling et al., 2017b).

Grafting has been the main technique used to clone H.brasiliensis since the beginning of the 20^th century. Already in the initial studies, the viability of the technique became evident, resulting in up to 81.1% of plant formation (Mendes, 1959). Currently, grafting has been applied to H.brasiliensis through the method of budding in seminal rootstocks (Cardinal et al., 2007) using green stems (grafting buds) produced in a clonal garden (Pereira & Leal, 2012). Some studies have sought to evaluate the potential of the mini-clonal hedge technique for viable stem production for Hevea spp. grafting, with promising results for shoot yield and graft survival (Borelli, 2016).

The first studies on the viability of grafting in A.angustifolia date from the late 1960s to the mid-1970s (Gurgel & Gurgel-Filho, 1967; Kageyama & Ferreira, 1975). Since then, the technique has been improved (Wendling, 2011; Zanette et al., 2011), presenting percentages of survival greater than 90% by patch grafting with orthotropic buds originating from female stem apex sprouts (Wendling et al., 2016a).

The qualification of the grafting technique has also been assessed for other species (Table 7).

Clonal forests of Brazilian native tree species

For the genera Eucalyptus, clonal forestry is already established and is in commercial expansion in Brazil, constituting the pillar of the timber, energy, biomass, and, mainly, paper and pulp industry. However, with rare exceptions, native species with high silvicultural potential have been neglected by the Brazilian forestry sector.

Studies related to clonal forestry of native species have been concentrated in forest research institutions, and are mostly in the initial stages of collection and evaluation of seminal plantations, i.e., progeny and provenance assays (Pinto Júnior et al., 2013). Although there is a considerable evolution in clonal forestry for some species, including the selection of genetic material and assessments at the clonal field level, no works been carried out to disseminate such information.

Furthermore, even though vegetative propagation has been made viable for many species, little or nothing is known about their growth in the field. Among these species, several have shown potential for the application of the technique, including: C.estrellensis, P.gonoacantha, S.amazonicum, Anadenanthera macrocarpa (Benth.) Brenan, Calophyllum brasiliense Cambess., Calycophyllum spruceanum (Benth.) K.Schum., C.estrellensis, Cordia trichotoma (Vell.) Steud., Piptocarpha angustifolia Dusén ex Malme, S.amazonicum, and Schizolobium parahyba (Vell.) Blake (Tables 6 and 7).

Of the small number of native tree species with known clonal forestry, H.brasiliensis is the most evaluated. Studies on the species were initiated in the last century, assessing the rooting capacity of different genetic materials (Muzik & Cruzado, 1956; Tinley & Garner, 1960). Advances in the clonal forestry of H.brasiliensis trees yielded satisfactory productivity indexes, with average productivity increasing from 400 kg ha^-1 per year for seminal plantations to 2,500 kg ha^-1 per year for clonal plantations (Gonçalves & Fontes, 2009). Over the last few decades, in addition to the production of latex, there has been an attempt to include wood quality in breeding programs, considering the wood supply during the reformulation of plantations (Leonello et al., 2012).

Ilex paraguariensis has recently been included in the list of native species with proven potential in clonal forestry (Santin et al., 2015; Wendling & Brondani, 2015; Sturion et al., 2017). Although it is still under evaluation in the field, it has presented promising results (Santin et al., 2015). Due to its multiple-use purpose (leaves, branches, and wood), studies about I. paraguariensis clones have been extensive (Rakocevic et al., 2006; Santin et al., 2015). The obtained results show that clonal plants produced by the cuttings and mini-cuttings techniques present higher survival and productivity compared with seedlings, as well as leaves and thin branches up to 7 mm (Rakocevic et al., 2006; Santin et al., 2015), indicating its suitability for the clonal production of the species.

Araucaria angustifolia presents very interesting characteristics for Brazilian silviculture, not only regarding its already-proven superior wood quality but also the high productive potential of its seeds (pine nuts), appreciated as food. The clonal forestry of the species has followed two lines for plant production, both already assessed in the field: grafting technique, using juvenile and adult grafts for wood and nut production, respectively; and cuttings, using juvenile shoots from selected plants for wood production (Wendling et al., 2016a, 2016b, 2017b). Araucaria angustifolia clones showed larger diameter at breast height (DBH) and an increase in total height compared with seminal plantations (Wendling et al., 2016b); the authors concluded that female clones produced by apical cuttings were superior to the others. In comparison with plants grafted directly in the field with juvenile propagules (basal shoots of adult trees) and seedlings, the clones were once again superior regarding DBH and total height (Wendling et al., 2017a). These authors also concluded that cuttings and grafting are potential techniques for A.angustifolia plant production for logging purposes. In this case, grafting stands out, being recommended for its low cost and for the formation of orchards aiming seed production, resulting in a volumetric increase and a form factor similar to that of seedlings.

Some native species, particularly fruit, have been the focus of the silvicultural evaluations of clonal plantations, especially T.cacao (Almeida et al., 2009) and Theobroma grandiflorum (Willd. ex Spreng.) K.Schum. (Souza et al., 2002). Despite including woody species, breeding programs of these species have focused exclusively on fruit production (Almeida et al., 2009; Souza et al., 2002).

Brazil presents an immense range of native species with silvicultural potential, either for the production of wood or non-wood products. However, few species were actually successful in Brazilian silviculture. In the case of clonal forestry, the number of species analyzed in the field is even lower, generally due to the lack of knowledge about the productive potential of these materials and the unavailability of resources for this purpose, such as planting area, plants, and labor. Despite the information available about the vegetative propagation of many native tree species, studies on the topic usually begin without an adequate genetic selection, making it difficult to evaluate quality genetic materials under field conditions. However, the assessment of woody species propagation is key to enable clonal forestry, depending on, among other factors, the continuity of studies in the field, even if at experimental levels.

Therefore, there is an evident gap to be filled in Brazilian clonal forestry regarding the use of native tree species. To increase the insertion of these species, a greater integration between studies on the vegetative propagation and vigor of these materials in the field is necessary; otherwise, the use of these species, whether for environmental or productive purposes, will always be limited to the experimental stage.

Concluding remarks

Vegetative rescue in native trees is feasible for a significant number of species, as long as there is a consistency in the choice of the applied technique and the intended objectives. For this, a better understanding of the different stages and purposes involved in the vegetative propagation of native tree species is necessary. In studies where the objective is the production of flowers, fruits or seeds, it is essential to identify techniques that maintain the maturity of the propagules. However, if the objective is the restoration of degraded ecosystems and the production of wood and leaves, techniques that facilitate vegetative propagation, offering greater juvenility of the propagules, are desired. The lack of experiments in field conditions, i.e., less than 10% for the species cited in this review, is evidence of the need to increase the number of species evaluated in the clonal forestry of Brazilian native species. Specifically for environmental purposes, studies comparing multiple species using standard methods of analysis and research material (type and origin of propagules) are recommended, enabling a better understanding and more efficient application of the vegetative propagation techniques.
