Revitalização da coleção das fases germinativas do Centro de Estudos Superiores de Parintins – UEA para fins didáticos

Abstract

The present work aims to revitalize the Botanical Collection of the Germination Phases of Angiosperms from the seeds of fruit, forest and medicinal species so that it acts as an important support for scientific research and environmental education activities with a quality collection, as well as didactic material for Science classes, Ecology, Morphology of higher plants, Plant physiology, among others. The collection suffered serious damage in the period of the COVID19 pandemic and with that there was a concern and need for the revitalization work not only of the collection, but of the entire collection of the herbarium, since it is an important place to preserve the species of flora. from our region. The process had a schedule, so that the work, hitherto new in the herbarium, the revitalization, takes place without many mishaps. The revitalization work was carried out within the desirable standards without too much unforeseen despite the fact that, at first, there were no works aimed at revitalizing botanical collections in the bibliography. This work made it possible to make the collection didactic, which allowed it to be used for didactic classes, both for undergraduate courses and for basic education, as well as for visitors and researchers who want to observe and study the germinal stages of botanical species present in Parintins, AM. Thus, this study culminated in the revitalization and creation of a didactic collection for the teaching of botany, located in the Herbarium of the Center for Higher Studies in Parintins, CESP/UEA.
