Resumo
É de conhecimento geral que existe grande escassez de estudos referentes às fases juvenis das plantas, importantes como subsídio para diversos trabalhos ecológicos, taxonômicos e filogenéticos. Com base nesse pressuposto, descreveram-se morfologicamente plântulas e plantas jovens de Pachyrhizus ahipa, espécie cultivada de Phaseoleae (Fabaceae), analisando-se o tipo de plântula e caracterizando estruturalmente os cotilédones, eofilos e metafilos. Verificou-se que a plântula é semi-hipógea, tipo de germinação até então não registrado para a tribo Phaseoleae. A plântula forma dois eofilos unifoliolados e opostos, acompanhados por evidente par de estipelas. Os metafilos são trifoliolados, de filotaxia alterna. Tanto eofilos quanto metafilos são pinados, camptódromos e broquidódromos.
The aim of this work was to describe the morphology of seedlings and saplings of Pachyrhizus ahipa, a cultivated species of Phaseoleae (Fabaceae), analysing the seedling type and characterizing the structure of cotyledons, eophylls and metaphylls. It was observed that the seedling was semi-hypogeal, a germination type not yet recorded for the Phaseoleae tribe. It formed two opposite and unifoliated eophylls with an evident pair of stipels. Metaphylls were trifoliolate and had alternate phyllotaxis. Both eophylls and metaphylls were pinnate, camptodromous, and brochidodromous.
