O efeito benéfico de subdoses de substâncias tóxicas é conhecido há muito tempo e este fenômeno é chamado de hormesis. Em agricultura, muitos são os casos de herbicidas que em doses normais causam severas injurias nas plantas, mas que em doses muito baixas promovem o crescimento de estruturas das plantas ou promovem outros efeitos benéficos, como aumento do teor de proteína em plantas. Objetivou-se com este trabalho avaliar o efeito de hormesis dos herbicidas glyphosate, amicarbazone, mesotrione, imazapic e carfentrazone em soja, além de explorar se o efeito de hormesis na soja é afetado por um pré-tratamento com baixas doses de glyphosate e mais tarde exposta as mesmas doses ou doses maiores. Para isso, três experimentos distintos foram conduzidos, sendo que no primeiro, sete doses do herbicida glyphosate (0; 1,8; 3,6; 7,2; 36; 180 e 720 g e.a.ha-1 ) foram aplicadas sobre as plantas de soja e avaliadas quanto à taxa de transporte de elétrons (ETR), acúmulo de compostos químicos alterados em função da ação do glyphosate (ácido chiquímico, ácido benzoico, ácido salicílico, AMPA, fenilalanina, tirosina e triptofano) e massa de matéria seca das plantas. No segundo experimento, foi feito um pré-tratamento das plantas com subdoses do glyphosate (0; 1,8; 3,6 e 7,2 g e.a. ha-1 ) no estádio V2 e 14 dias após esta aplicação, as plantas receberam uma segunda aplicação de diferentes doses do glyphosate (0; 1,8; 3,6; 7,2; 36; 180 e 720 g e.a. ha-1 ) e posteriormente avaliadas quanto ao acúmulo de massa de matéria seca e ácido chiquímico. No terceiro experimento, foram testadas uma completa curva de dose-resposta dos herbicidas amicarbazone, ...
The beneficial effect of low doses of toxic substances is known a long time and this phenomenon is called hormesis. In agriculture, there are many cases of herbicides that in normal rates cause severe injuries in plants, but in very low doses promote the growth of plant structures or other beneficial effect such as increase in the protein content in plants. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of hormesis of glyphosate, amicarbazone, mesotrione, imazapic and carfentrazone in soybean, in addition to exploring if the effect of hormesis in soybeans is affected by a pretreatment with low doses of glyphosate and later expose to the same doses or higher. For this, three separate experiments were carried out, and on the first one seven doses of glyphosate (0; 1.8; 3.6; 7.2; 36; 180 and 720 g a.e.ha-1 ) were applied to the soybean plants and evaluated the electron transport rate (ETR), the chemical compounds resulting from the action of glyphosate (shikimic acid, benzoic acid, salicylic acid, AMPA , phenylalanine, tyrosine and tryptophan) and hormesis effect on the dry weight of plants. The second experiment was made a pretreatment of soybean plants with low doses of glyphosate (0; 1.8; 3.6 and 7.2 g a.e.ha-1) in the V2 stage and 14 days later the plants received a second application of different doses of glyphosate (0; 1.8; 3.6; 7.2; 36; 180 e 720 g a.e.ha-1 ) and subsequently evaluated the dry weight of plants and shikimic acid. In the third experiment, was tested a full dose-response of the herbicides amicarbazone, mesotrione, imazapic and carfentrazone on soybean plants and evaluated the ETR and dry weight. The results indicated that at low doses glyphosate stimulated ETR and increased biomass. The compounds from shikimic acid pathway such as benzoic and salicylic acids had respective increases of 203 and 170% in the dose of 3.6 g a.e. ha-1of glyphosate and the amino ...

Atualmente, tanto no setor de produção agrícola quanto nas diversas áreas da saúde humana, o efeito de subdoses de produtos aplicados, denominado como hormótico, vem sendo amplamente discutido e pesquisado, com o objetivo de compreender o mecanismo de ação estimulante e benéfica de diversas substâncias inicialmente consideradas como tóxicas, quando aplicadas em doses elevadas. O objetivo desta pesquisa foi verificar o efeito hormótico da subdose do herbicida glyphosate nas variáveis morfológicas, fisiológicas e a produção final de cana-de-açúcar. Os experimentos foram plantados em novembro de 2010 na Unidade de Pesquisa e Desenvolvimento de Jaú, SP, da APTA Pólo Centro-Oeste/SAA, conduzidos e avaliados durante o ciclo de cana-de-ano em cana-planta. A variedade utilizada foi a SP80-1842. Os tratamentos foram constituídos pela aplicação ou não de subdose de glyphosate. A aplicação dos tratamentos foi aos 70 dias após o plantio (DAP) e a subdose utilizada foi de 1,8 g e a ha-1 de glyphosate. No primeiro experimento foi avaliado o crescimento e desenvolvimento da cultura da cana-de-açúcar em parcelas de três linhas de plantio por três metros, nas quais foram coletadas um metro linear para avaliações em oito épocas, isto é, 70, 105, 140, 175, 210, 245, 280 e 315 dias após o plantio, em um delineamento de blocos casualizados com seis repetições.

O efeito de estímulo de uma característica biológica por baixas doses de um composto considerado tóxico, mas que em altas doses tem efeito inibitório é denominado efeito hormesis. Estímulos de crescimento em plantas têm sido verificados após a aplicação de subdoses de alguns herbicidas, incluindo o glyphosate. Nesse contexto, o presente trabalho teve por objetivo avaliar as respostas de crescimento de plantas de Brachiaria decumbens submetidas a diferentes doses de glyphosate. Foram realizados dois estudos em casa de vegetação, ambos em delineamento inteiramente casualizado (DIC). No primeiro estudo foram realizados três experimentos com seis repetições, sendo no experimento 1 testada uma curva de dose-resposta com nove doses do herbicida glyphosate (0; 22,5; 45; 90; 180; 360; 720; 1440 e 2880 g e.a. ha-1). Nos experimentos dois e três foram aplicadas onze doses do herbicida glyphosate (0; 2,8125; 5,625; 11,25; 22,5; 45; 90; 180; 360; 720 e 1440 g e.a. ha-1). No estudo 2 para a avaliação de subdoses com efeito hormesis realizou-se quatro experimentos, em DIC com oito repetições e dois tratamentos (testemunha e dose de 11,25 g e.a. ha-1). Para ambos os estudos foram coletadas oito plantas de vasos sem aplicação para a determinação da biomassa inicial dos experimentos. Nos experimentos do estudo 1 foram realizadas avaliações de fitointoxicação aos 0, 7, 14 e 21 dias após a aplicação (DAA), além da coleta de oito plantas por vaso de cada tratamento para determinação de massa fresca e massa seca. Além disso, realizou-se a quantificação de massa fresca e seca total dos vasos aos 21 DAA, sendo essa metodologia também adotada para os experimentos do estudo 2. Os resultados do estudo 1 indicaram que: em doses acima de 45 g e.a. ha-1 foi possível obter 80% de controle das plantas de B. decumbens; a aplicação de baixas doses de glyphosate estimulou o aumento da biomassa das plantas de B. decumbens, com valores máximos alcançados na subdose de 11,25 g e.a. ha-1 de glyphosate. O segundo estudo indicou que a aplicação de subdose de 11,25 g e.a. ha-1 de glyphosate promoveu tanto estímulo quanto inibição de crescimento, demonstrando haver variabilidade de resposta das plantas à essa subdose.

O efeito de substâncias que em altas doses causa efeitos tóxicos, mas que em subdoses pode estimular a planta é conhecido como hormesis, sendo o glyphosate um herbicida com este efeito. Subdoses de glyphosate podem estimular o crescimento de uma diversidade de espécies de plantas, e tal resultado provavelmente esteja relacionado com o sítio de ação do glyphosate, uma vez que o efeito não é observado em plantas resistentes ao glyphosate. Diante disso, o presente trabalho teve como objetivo avaliar o efeito de hormesis do herbicida glyphosate em cana-de-açúcar e eucalipto. Para isso, foi conduzido quatros experimentos onde foram utilizados dez doses do herbicida glyphosate 0; 1,8; 3,6; 7,2; 18; 36; 72; 180; 360 e 720 g e.a.ha-1, aplicados com o auxilio de pulverizador estacionário com o volume de calda de 200 L ha-1. Nos experimentos foram avaliados a massa seca de parte aérea, fibra em detergente ácido (FDA), lignina, glyphosate, ácido chiquímico, conteúdo de clorofila, trocas gasosas (taxa de assimilação de CO2, condutância estomática e taxa de transpiração). Os resultados indicaram que a massa seca da parte aérea de cana-de-açúcar e eucalipto, apresentou incremento em doses variando de 3,6 a 18 g e.a ha-1. A aplicação de glyphosate proporcionou, em ambas as culturas, um incremento na taxa de assimilação de CO2, condutância estomática, taxa de transpiração, conteúdo de clorofila, sendo a dose variável para cada parâmetro analisado. Os níveis de FDA e lignina aumentaram em cana-de-açúcar após a aplicação de glyphosate, em todas as doses analisadas. Em resultados para eucalipto os níveis de FDA e lignina mantiveram-se estáveis, diminuindo em doses maiores. O herbicida glyphosate só foi detectado em cana-de-açúcar e eucalipto em doses a partir de 72 g e.a ha-1, da mesma forma os níveis de ácido chiquímico aumentaram.
The effect of substances that at high doses cause toxic effects, but in low doses can stimulate the plant is known hormesis. One herbicide which has been used for this purpose is glyphosate. Low doses of glyphosate can stimulate the growth of a variety of plant species, and such a result is probably related to glyphosate site of action, since the effect is not observed in glyphosate resistant plants. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the hormesis effect of glyphosate herbicide in sugarcane and eucalyptus. For this, it conducted four experiments where was used ten doses of glyphosate 0; 1.8; 3.6; 7.2; 18; 36; 72; 180; 360 and 720 g e.a. ha-1 , applied to the steady spray of aid with the spray volume of 200 L ha -1 . In the experiments were evaluated: dry mass of shoots, acid detergent fiber (ADF), lignin, glyphosate, shikimic acid, chlorophyll content, gas exchange (CO2 assimilation rate, stomatal conductance and transpiration rate). The results indicated that the dry mass of shoots of sugarcane and eucalyptus, increase in doses ranging from 3.6 to 18 g e.a. ha -1 . The application of glyphosate provided in both cultures, an increase in CO2 assimilation rate, stomatal conductance, transpiration rate, chlorophyll content, with variable dose for each parameter analyzed. FDA and lignin levels increased in sugarcane after application of glyphosate at all doses tested. In results to eucalyptus the FDA and lignin levels remained stable, decreasing at higher doses. The herbicide glyphosate was only detected in sugarcane and eucalyptus in doses above 72 g ha-1 , as the shikimic acid levels increased at the same way.

Abstract: The effect of substances that at high doses cause toxic effects, but in low doses can stimulate the plant is known hormesis. One herbicide which has been used for this purpose is glyphosate. Low doses of glyphosate can stimulate the growth of a variety of plant species, and such a result is probably related to glyphosate site of action, since the effect is not observed in glyphosate resistant plants. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the hormesis effect of glyphosate herbicide in sugarcane and eucalyptus. For this, it conducted four experiments where was used ten doses of glyphosate 0; 1.8; 3.6; 7.2; 18; 36; 72; 180; 360 and 720 g e.a. ha-1, applied to the steady spray of aid with the spray volume of 200 L ha -1 . In the experiments were evaluated: dry mass of shoots, acid detergent fiber (ADF), lignin, glyphosate, shikimic acid, chlorophyll content, gas exchange (CO2 assimilation rate, stomatal conductance and transpiration rate). The results indicated that the dry mass of shoots of sugarcane and eucalyptus, increase in doses ranging from 3.6 to 18 g e.a. ha -1 . The application of glyphosate provided in both cultures, an increase in CO2 assimilation rate, stomatal conductance, transpiration rate, chlorophyll content, with variable dose for each parameter analyzed. FDA and lignin levels increased in sugarcane after application of glyphosate at all doses tested. In results to eucalyptus the FDA and lignin levels remained stable, decreasing at higher doses.

Abstract:

Le brocoli (Brassica oleracea var. italica) est un légume devenu populaire grâce à ses caractéristiques nutritionnelles et bioctives qui sont associées entre autres à la prévention de certaines maladies chroniques. L'utilisation de stress abiotiques tels que UV-C comme traitement de pré-entreposage a montré un grand potentiel pour l'induction de la résistance aux maladies et la préservation de la qualité des produits frais, et il est de plus en plus évident qu'il existe un potentiel pour améliorer les métabolites secondaires. L'objectif de ce travail a été, d'abord, d'établir si divers stress abiotiques, UV-B, UV-C, la chaleur, l'ozone, le peroxyde d'hydrogène, l'éthanol, et méthyl jasmonate (MeJA), induisent le phénomène d’hormèse. L'effect de ces traitements sur certains paramètres associés à la qualité des fleurons de brocoli tels que: la couleur, la perte de poids, la teneur en glucosinolates et en composés phénoliques. La chaleur et l'éthanol ont été les meilleurs traitements pour le retarder le jaunissement des fleurons, mais UV-C et UV-B étaient également efficaces pour maintenir la couleur verte de fleurons dans l’entreposage. D'autre part, la capacité antioxydant des fleurons a été principalement renforcée par les traitements d’UV-B et de chaleur. Le paramètre le plus important dans cette recherche était la teneur en glucosinolates de fleurons qui a été influencé positivement par le traitement à l’ozone et au peroxyde d'hydrogène, et dans une moindre mesure par le traitement d’UV-B. Il a été conclu que les stress abiotiques peuvent influencer favorablement soit la qualité ou l’augmentation de glucosinolates dans les fleurons pendant l’entreposage, mais pas le deux. Parmi les agents stressants utilisés, la lumière UV-B a été le plus efficace à maintenir la qualité et à induire une augmentation des composantes phytochimiques dans le broccoli.
Broccoli (Brassica oleracea var. Italica) has become popular thanks to its health properties that are associated with the prevention of certain chronic diseases. The use of abiotic stresses such as UV-C as pre-storage treatment has shown great potential for induction of disease resistance in and preservation of quality of fresh produce, and it is becoming increasingly clear that there is potential for enhancing secondary metabolites. The objective of this work was, first, to establish whether various abiotic stresses, UV-B UV-C, heat, ozone, hydrogen peroxide, ethanol, and the plant signalling molecule, methyl jasmonate (MeJA), may induce hormesis in broccoli florets on color retention response; and second, to determine the effect of various abiotic stresses on quality, mainly color retention and weight loss; the contents of glucosinolates and phenolic compounds in florets during storage. Heat and ethanol were the best treatments for delaying yellowing florets, but UV-C and UV-B were also effective at a lower extent. On the other hand, the antioxidant capacity of the florets was mostly enhanced by UV-B and heat treatments. The most important enquiry in this research was the augmentation of glucosinolates titers, which was influenced by the treatment with ozone and hydrogen peroxide, and to a less extent by UV-B. It was concluded that abiotic stresses could influence favourably either the quality or the enhancement of glucosinolates in broccoli during storage and not both. Among the considered stressing factors, UV-B was the most effective for maintenance of quality as well as to elevate the levels of phytochemicals in broccoli.

Resumo: O glyphosate é considerado o herbicida mais utilizado em todo mundo. Seu mecanismo de ação baseia-se no bloqueio da rota do chiquimato, interrompendo a síntese dos aminoácidos aromáticos. Observa-se que a sua aplicação de maneira incorreta permite que uma parcela do ingrediente ativo chegue à cultura não-alvo, caracterizando a deriva. O café aparece como a segunda mais importante commodity no mercado internacional, com o Brasil como principal produtor. Neste trabalho, avaliou-se o impacto que o herbicida glyphosate teria na cultura de café, em uma condição de deriva simulada via pulverização foliar e via contaminação de três diferentes tipos de solos: argiloso, arenoso e rico em matéria orgânica. Análises revelaram que, em baixas concentrações, o glyphosate pode reduzir a taxa fotossintética do cafeeiro, mas estimular a síntese de pigmentos foliares. Também foi observado um aumento do conteúdo de compostos fenólicos, configurando-se como um possível caso de hormese. Quando aplicado nas folhas, o herbicida foi transportado para frutos em desenvolvimento. Nos frutos, o herbicida alterou o metabolismo de diversos compostos importantes para a bebida do café, tais como a cafeína e açúcares. Assim, este trabalho apresenta-se como um dos primeiros a investigar as alterações induzidas pelo herbicida glyphosate em plantas de café e a relatar a hormese provocada pelo herbicida sobre seus metabólitos secundários
Abstract: Glyphosate is the most widely used herbicide worldwide. Its mechanism of action is based on the blockage of the shikimate pathway, hindering the biosynthesis of the aromatic amino acids. Its incorrect application allows a portion of the active ingredient to reach the non-target crop, characterizing the drift. Coffee is the second commodity in the international market, and Brazil is the main producer. Here, we studied the impact that the herbicide glyphosate would have on coffee plants, in a condition where drifting was simulated by foliar sprays and contamination of three different soils: clay, sandy and rich in organic matter. Our data revealed that, at low concentrations, glyphosate may reduce photosynthesis, but it can stimulate the biosynthesis of leaf pigments. An increase of phenolic compounds was also observed, suggesting a possible hormesis effect. When applied to the leaves, the herbicide was transported to developing fruits and in the fruits the metabolism of important compounds for the coffee beverage, such as caffeine and sugar, was altered. Thus, this work presents itself as one of the first to investigate the impact of glyphosate herbicide on the coffee tree and report the hormesis caused by the herbicide on secondary metabolites of coffee

Abstract:

Sementes de tomate do híbrido Gladiador foram expostas a radiações gama do Co-60 nas doses 0; 2,5; 5; 7,5; 10; 12,5; 15 e 20 Gy. Foram analisados vários parâmetros como germinação, altura da plântula até o cotilédone, altura total da plântula, peso fresco e seco da plântula, altura da planta, diâmetro do caule da planta, peso fresco e seco e área da 5º folha, número de frutos verdes com diâmetro maior que 3 cm, número de frutos esverdeados, de vez e maduros, número total de frutos, Brix e pH dos frutos, peso médio dos frutos e produção total de frutos. Diferentes efeitos estimulantes foram observados nos diversos estádios de desenvolvimento das plantas. O maior estímulo, para produção ocorreu para a dose de 10 Gy. As maiores alturas médias da plântula e da planta ocorreram para a dose de 7,5 Gy. O maior número de frutos verdes com 3 cm de diâmetro ocorreu para o tratamento de 12,5 e 15 Gy. A irradiação também estimulou a produção de maior número total de frutos, em todas as doses aplicadas, com vantagem para a dose de 10 Gy que produziu 88% mais frutos que a testemunha e também uma produção em peso 86% maior. O pH dos frutos acidificou significativamente a partir da dose de 12,5 Gy. Houve aumento na produção em todos os tratamentos em relação à testemunha sendo que o maior estímulo para produção ocorreu para as doses de 10, 12,5 e 15 Gy. O uso de baixas doses de radiação gama do Co- 60 aplicado no tratamento pré-semeadura, nas sementes, mostrou-se eficiente em estimular o desenvolvimento das plantas e aumentar a produção do tomate.
Tomato seeds of the Gladiador hybrid were exposed to gamma radiation of Co-60 with the following doses: 0; 2,5; 5; 7,5; 10; 12,5; 15 e 20 Gy. Analysis were performed on germination, seedlings height to cotyledon, seedling total height, seedling fresh and dry weight, plant height, stalk diameter at the root beginning, fresh and dry weight of the 5th leaf, number of green fruits with diameter higher than 3 cm, number of green, half ripen and ripen fruits, total number of fruits, Brix and pH of fruits, average fruit weight and fruit total production. A variety of stimulation effects were observed on the different plant developing stages. The greatest stimulus for production was observed in the 10 Gy dose. The highest seedling average height and plant average height were observed for the 7,5 Gy dose. The biggest number of green fruits with diameter higher than 3 cm occurred for the 12,5 and 15 Gy treatments. Irradiation also stimulated a higher total number of fruits in all doses, having advantage the 10 Gy dose which produced 88% more fruits than control as well as 86% more weight production. The fruits pH acidified significantly in a dose of 12,5 Gy and higher. Production increased in all treatments comparing to control and the highest stimulus for production observed was for the 10, 12,5 and 15 Gy. The use of low gamma radiation doses of Co-60 applied as pre-sowing treatment in the seeds, efficiently stimulated the development of plants and the tomato production.

O objetivo deste trabalho é avaliar o desempenho vegetativo, fenológico e reprodutivo de biótipos resistente e sensível de Conyza spp. em função de doses de glyphosate. Foram realizados estudos em casa de vegetação no Núcleo de Pesquisas Avançadas em Matologia (NUPAM) UNESP – FCA, Botucatu sendo conduzido em três estudos distintos: (i) identificação de biótipos resistentes e sensíveis; (ii) curvas dose-resposta com a utilização dos biótipos resistente e sensível em função da aplicação das doses de glyphosate; (iii) identificação dos estádios fenológicos e as características reprodutivas dos biótipos resistente e sensível. O primeiro estudo compreendeu a coleta de 15 biótipos à campo e submetidos a aplicação de quatro doses de glyphosate com quatro repetições inteiramente casualisadas para a identificação de biótipos resistentes e sensíveis. Aos 28 dias após aplicação foram avaliados a porcentagem de controle (CR50) e a massa seca de plantas (GR50). O segundo experimento compreendeu o uso dos biótipos resistente e sensível identificados anteriormente e conduzidos em progenitoras (coletadas a campo) e progênie (reproduzidas em casa de vegetação) a uma série de experimentos de dose-resposta com doses e subdoses de glyphosate. Para o experimento com biótipo resistente foram utilizadas 13 doses de glyphosate e 12 para o sensível, com cinco repetições e inteiramente casualisados para ambos. As variáveis analisadas durante o experimento foram: altura de plantas (cm) e número de folhas e ao final do experimento a massa seca de plantas (g). O terceiro estudo foi realizado com as progenitoras dos biótipos resistente e sensível com nove e oito tratamentos respectivamente, com cinco repetições inteiramente casualisados. Foram avaliados durante o experimento a identificação dos estádios fenológicos bolting, primeiro botão floral e abertura do primeiro botão floral e ao final do experimento foram avaliados o número de capítulos por planta, o número médio de sementes por planta e a soma das unidades termais necessárias para o avanço de estádio fenológico. As análises estáticas usadas foram: regressões e intervalo de confiança a 5% de probabilidade pelo teste “t” nos experimentos conduzidos. O biótipo 2 foi o considerado como o biótipo mais resistente e o biótipo 3 como sensível. Incrementos de massa seca foram observados no biótipo sensível progenitor entre as doses de 0,703125 a 22,5 g. e.a. ha-1 e para o biótipo resistente progênie entre as doses de 1,40625 a 45 g. e.a. ha-1. O biótipo resistente apresentou estímulos de crescimento em doses maiores que os apresentados pelo biótipo sensível. O biótipo resistente mostrou-se mais apto para se reproduzir quando submetido a baixas doses de glyphosate.

Abstract: The objective of this work is to evaluate the vegetative, phenological and reproductive performance of resistant and sensitive biotypes of Conyza spp. submited to different rates of glyphosate. A greenhouse study was carried out at the Núcleo de Pesquisas Avançadas em Matologia (NUPAM) at UNESP - School of Agriculture, Botucatu and was conducted in three different studies: (i) identification of resistant and sensitive biotypes; (ii) dose-response curves using a resistant and a sensitive biotype in function of the glyphosate doses application; (iii) phenological stages identification as well as the reproductive characteristics of the resistant and sensitive biotypes. The first study involved 15 biotypes collected in the field and it was submitted to four glyphosate doses with four replications in a completely randomized design for the resistant and sensitive biotypes identification. At 28 days after application the control percentage (fifth control percentage) and the plant dry mass (fifth percentage) were evaluated. The second experiment comprised the use of the resistant and sensitive biotypes previously identified in the study involving the progenitors (field-collected) and progeny (reproduced in greenhouse) to a series of dose-response experiments with doses and sub-doses of glyphosate. For the resistant biotype experiment, it was used 13 glyphosate rates and 12 for the sensitive biotype, with five replications and entirely randomized design for both. The variables analyzed during the experiment were: plant height (cm), leaf number and the plant dry mass at the end (g). The third study was performed with resistant and sensitive biotype progenitors using nine and eight treatments respectively, with five replications in an entirely randomized design. The experiment was carried out to identify the following variables: phenological stages bolting, first floral bud, the first floral bud opening, and ...

Abstract:

A sinalização retrógrada mitocondrial é uma via de comunicação entre a mitocôndria e o núcleo que regula a expressão de uma série de genes nucleares que codificam proteínas mitocondriais, em resposta a disfunções mitocondriais. Em Saccharomyces cerevisiae, a via depende de Rtg1p e Rtg3p, que juntos formam o fator de transcrição que regula a expressão gênica, e de Rtg2p, um ativador da via. Aqui, nós mostramos novos estudos direcionados à investigação do impacto da sinalização retrógrada RTG-dependente na fisiologia mitocondrial. Verificamos que mutantes incapazes de realizar sinalização retrógrada RTG-dependente apresentam consumo de oxigênio mais elevado e menor produção de peróxido de hidrogênio em fase estacionária quando comparados a células selvagens. Interessantemente, mutantes RTG são menos capazes de decompor peróxido de hidrogênio assim como manter-se viáveis quando desafiados com peróxido. Nossos resultados indicam que a sinalização por RTG está envolvida na indução hormética de defesas antioxidantes e de resistência a estresse, função ainda não descrita para este sistema.
Mitochondrial retrograde signaling is a communication pathway between the mitochondrion and the nucleus which regulates the expression of a subset of nuclear genes that codify mitochondrial proteins, mediating cell response to mitochondrial dysfunction. In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, the pathway depends on Rtg1p and Rtg3p, which together form the transcription factor that regulates gene expression, and Rtg2p, an activator of the pathway. Here, we provide novel studies aimed at assessing the functional impact of the lack of RTG-dependent signaling on mitochondrial activity. We show that mutants defective in RTG-dependent retrograde signaling present higher oxygen consumption and reduced hydrogen peroxide release in the stationary phase when compared to wild type cells. Interestingly, RTG mutants are less able to decompose hydrogen peroxide as well as maintain viability when challenged with hydrogen peroxide. Overall, our results indicate that RTG signaling is involved in the hormetic induction of antioxidant defenses and stress resistance, a function of this system not yet described.

Abstract:

Effect of UV-C Hormesis on Quality Attributes of Tomatoes during Post treatment Handling Post harvest losses are quite high in fresh fruits and vegetables. Although refrigeration is an effective method of storage, its advantage is limited to some crops that are not susceptible to chilling injury. Tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.) is one such crop where other alternatives are sought for. Experiments were conducted to assess the effect of post-harvest treatment with artificial ultraviolet (UV-C) radiation (~254 nm) on quality and physiology of treated tomatoes during post treatment handling. Antioxidant composition of tomatoes was studied in relation to the consequence of UV irradiation. Tomato fruits (variety DRK-453) were irradiated (3.7 kJ/m2) at mature green stage and stored at 13oC and 95% RH along with a set of control. The tomatoes were randomly sampled after 10, 20 and 30 days from the cold storage chamber, and ripened for 7 and 14 days at room temperature and analyzed for different quality parameters. The results showed that post-harvest UV treatment significantly reduced the surface color change of tomatoes whereas the other quality parameters such as TSS, titratable acidity, pH and TSS/acidity ratio were not influenced. This indicates that ripening process had similar pace in both control and UV treated fruits. Apparent firmness observed in the irradiated fruits was not reflected in the objectively measured firmness values. Today, estimation of antioxidant activity has become an important parameter to evaluate the nutritional quality of food. In tomato fruit the carotenoid lycopene is the main phytochemical purported to carry benefit to human health. UV treatment induced a significant decrease in the lycopene content of tomatoes in the later stage during handling. The other antioxidant components namely, ascorbic acid and total phenolic contents increased with the increase in storage and ripening period. The significantly
Effets d’un traitement hormesis aux UV-C sur la qualité post-récolte des tomates Les pertes après-récolte des fruits et des légumes sont relativement élevées. Quoique que l’utilisation du froid a permis d’accroître de façon marquée la durée de conservation de plusieurs fruits et légumes, ses effets bénéfiques sont limités sur les produits sensibles au froid comme la tomate (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.). Des essais en laboratoire ont été effectués pour évaluer les effets d’un traitement hormesis au rayonnement ultraviolet (UV-C) sur la qualité de la tomate. Ce traitement aurait pour effet de causer un stress physiologique bénéfique qui se traduirait par une amélioration de la conservation et des qualités nutritives du fruit. Des tomates de variété DRK-453 et ayant atteintes un stage de maturité verte/mature ont été divisées en deux lots. Le premier a été exposé à un traitement hormesis au UV-C (3.7 kJ/m2) tandis que le second a servi de contrôle. Immédiatement après le traitement, tous les fruits ont été entreposés à 13oC et 95% d’humidité relative. Après 10, 20 et 30 jours de conservation au froid, des échantillons de tomates ont été prélevés de façon aléatoire dans chacun des lots. Puis, les fruits ont mûri à la température de la pièce pour une période de 7 ou 14 jours. A la fin du mûrissement, la qualité de conservation et la qualité nutritive ont été évaluées. L’analyse comparative des résultats a indiqué que, chez la tomate, l’exposition à la dose prescrite du rayonnement UV-C réduisait de façon significative le développement de la couleur rouge, mais qu’il n’affectait pas le pH, la fermeté, l’acidité titrable, la teneur total en solides solubles (TSS) et le rapport TSS/acidité. Par conséquence, le processus de mûrissement était similaire pour les fruits traités et non-traités. La tomate contient une quantité appréciable d’antioxydants do

Hormesis is a widely used in toxicology to describe the biphasic dose-response curve, where exposure to chemical or physical stress induces a stimulatory or inhibitory response dose-dependent. This phenomenon is typically described by a nonlinear dose-response where exposure to low levels of stress induces a stimulatory effect while high levels of exposure cause inhibition or toxicity. Two reparameterized logistic-logarithmic models were used to describe deltamethrin dose-response in Sitophilus zeamais, two insecticide-resistant strains and one insecticide-susceptible strain. Moreover, the profile of protein expression was examined in three populations. The biphasic dose-response was observed in three tested strains. It was observed several changes in protein profiling expression. In insecticide-resistant strains prevailed up-regulation protein expression (increase in spot volume) while in the insecticide-susceptible strain was observed down-regulation expression in most spots. This reduction may be due to a more extend refractory period and consequently greater delay in restoring the homeostatic state in the insecticide-susceptible strain. Few spots were identified as the expression of new proteins in the three strains. The Jacarezinho strain showed the largest number of protein spots, were six spots in the Jacarezinho strain, one spot in the Juiz de For a strain and no spot in the Sete Lagoas susceptible strain. This wide variation reflects the difficulty of relating the molecular events with the responses obtained in the dose-response curves. Although the biological responses can be observed with relative difficulty, the myriad of molecular events in response to changes in the environment make it extremely difficult to identify the mechanistic events involved in the stress response. The change in the profile of protein expression between populations reflects the difficulty in understanding the mechanisms involved in the hormesis. The exposure to even moderate doses of stress induces many changes in the profiling protein expression. In a next step the identification of differentially expressed proteins would be of great importance to check whether groups of common proteins among populations are affected. Besides the greater magnitude in population growth, moderate doses of deltamethrin resistant populations have a higher profile changes in protein expression and this behavior seems to be dependent on life history parameters.
Hormese é um termo amplamente utilizado na toxicologia para descrever o comportamento bifásico da curva dose-resposta, onde a exposição ao estresse físico ou químico induz uma resposta estimulatória ou inibitória dose-dependente. O fenômeno é caracteristicamente descrito por um modelo dose-resposta não-linear onde a exposição a baixos níveis de estresse induz um efeito estimulatório enquanto altos níveis de exposição provocam inibição ou toxicidade. Dois modelos logarítmico-logísticos reparameterizados foram utilizados para avaliar bioensaios dose-resposta em Sitophilus zeamais, duas populações resistentes e uma susceptível a inseticidas. Além disso, o perfil de expressão de proteínas foi analisado nas três populações. A curva dose-resposta foi bifásica para as três populações. Foi observado várias alterações no perfil de expressão de proteínas. Nas populações resistentes prevaleceu o aumento de expressão (aumento no volume do spot) enquanto na população susceptível foi observado redução de expressão na maioria dos spots diferencialmente expressos. Essa redução pode ser devido a um período refratário mais prologando nessa população e consequentemente maior retardo no restabelecimento do estado homeostático. Poucos spots foram identificados como expressão de novas proteínas nas três populações. A população de Jacarezinho foi a que apresentou o maior número de spots com expressão de novas proteínas, foram seis spots para população de jacarezinho, um spot para população de Juiz de Fora e nenhum spot na população susceptível de Sete Lagoas. Essa grande variação reflete a dificuldade de relacionar os eventos moleculares com as respostas obtidas nas curvas dose-resposta. Embora as respostas biológicas possam ser observadas com relativa dificuldade, a miríade de eventos moleculares em resposta as variações do ambiente tornam extremamente difícil identificar os eventos mecanisticos envolvidos com a resposta ao estresse. A variação no perfil de expressão de proteínas entre populações reflete a dificuldade para compreensão dos mecanismos envolvidos com o efeito hormético. A exposição mesmo a doses moderadas de estressse induziu muitas alterações no perfil de expressão de proteínas. Em uma próxima etapa a identificação das proteínas diferencialmente expressas seria de grande importância para verificarmos se grupos de proteínas comuns entre as populações são afetados. Além de apresentar maior magnitude no incremento populacional, em doses moderadas de deltametrina, as populações resistentes apresentam maior alteração no perfil de expressão de proteínas e esse comportamento parece ser dependente dos parâmetros de história de vida.

Historicamente a avaliação dos efeitos de pesticidas sobre artrópodes tem se baseado fundamentalmente em efeitos letais, sendo os efeitos sub-letais frequentemente negligenciadas. Entretanto, efeitos simulatórios associados com baixas doses de compostos que são tóxicos em altas doses, têm sido reportados recentemente e reconhecido como um fenômeno toxicológico. Evidência dessas respostas estimulatórias foram também verificadas em ácaros e alguns insetos-praga expostos a pesticidas, e é reconhecido como uma das potenciais causas de ressurgimento de pragas e aumento nas populações de pragas secundárias. Entretanto, parâmetros de fitness e suas implicações foram raramente considerados em estudos toxicológicos, sendo que inimigos naturais raramente são considerados nesses estudos. No presente estudo reportamos os efeitos simulatórios de dose sub-letais (variando de 0,02 a 172,00 ppb além do tratamento testemunha) do piretróide permetrina aplicado tópicante em nimfas de terceiro instar Podisus distinctus (Stål) (Heteroptera: Pentatomidae). Os parâmetros estimados de tabelas de fertilidade dos insetos expostos à doses crescentes do inseticida indicaram um pequeno aumento no tempo médio de sobrevivência para as doses ≥ 0,20 ppb e um pico na taxa de reprodução básica na dose de 1,72 ppb. Essa tendência coincide e se correlaciona com a taxa de reprodução intrínseca da população (n = 18, r = 0,78, P = 0,0001), que também apresentou um pico na dose de 1,72 ppb, levando a um valores reprodutivos maiores dos insetos expostos a estas doses. Este fenômeno foi interpretado como homese induzida por inseticida e suas implicações são discutidas.
The assessment of pesticide effects in arthropods historically have relied heavily on acute lethal effects and the sub-lethal responses to such compounds are frequently neglected. However, stimulatory effects associated with low doses of compounds toxic at higher doses, such as pesticides, have been widely reported in recent years and recognized as a general toxicological phenomenon. Evidence of such stimulatory response has also been reported among mites and a few insect pest-species exposed to pesticides and recognized as a one of the potential causes underlying pest resurgence and secondary pest outbreaks. However, fitness parameters and its implications were seldom considered in these studies and natural enemies are not usually target of attention. Here we reported the stimulatory effect of sub-lethal doses (ranging from 0.02 to 172.00 ppb in addition to the control) of the pyrethroid permethrin topically applied to 3rd instar nymphs of the spined soldier bug Podisus distinctus (Stål) (Heteroptera: Pentatomidae). The parameters estimated from the fertility tables of insects exposed to the increasing doses of insecticide indicated a slight increase in the mean survival time for doses ≥ 0.20 ppb and a peak in the net reproductive rate at 1.72 ppb. This trend is coincident and correlated with the intrinsic rate of population growth (n = 18, r = 0.78, P = 0.0001), which also shows a peak at 1.72 ppb leading to higher reproductive values of insects exposed to this dose. The phenomenon was recognized as insecticide-induced hormesis and its potential implications were discussed.

Abstract:

Os lipídios microbianos apresentam composição similar aos óleos vegetais, e tem despertado o interesse de muitos pesquisadores, uma vez que podem suprir a demanda por óleos e gorduras. Além disso, estudos demonstram que ao submeter um microrganismo a baixas doses de radiação gama, estímulos são promovidos, podendo aumentar a função, a resistência celular, e o crescimento. Objetivou-se com esse estudo: avaliar os efeitos de baixas doses de radiação gama no crescimento e na síntese lipídica de Yarrowia lipolytica. A levedura foi submetida às doses de: (controle) 0,3; 0,5; 0,75; 1,0; 1,25 e 2,5 kGy de radiação gama, sob taxa de dose de 0,259 kGy/h. Foi utilizada câmara de Neubauer para determinação da viabilidade celular da levedura. Uma curva de crescimento e outra de sobrevivência foi determinada por densidade óptica em um espectrofotômetro. Posteriormente, a levedura foi inoculada em meio composto por xarope de cana-de-açúcar e vinhaça, e incubada por 7, 14 e 21 dias para a obtenção da biomassa seca, por liofilização, e da síntese lipídica, por metodologia de extração. A irradiação não interferiu na produção de biomassa seca, no crescimento e na sobrevivência da levedura Y. lipolytica. O período de incubação afetou a produção final de biomassa, sendo a maior produção obtida no 14° dia (13,46 g/L). Para os resultados de síntese lipídica, observou-se interferência na produção final, durante 21 dias de incubação e dose de 0,5 kGy, com produção de 4,17 g/L (34,94%). Conclui-se que não foi observado o efeito hormético durante as análises de crescimento, sobrevivência e produção de biomassa, quando submetidas às doses de radiação. Este efeito foi observado apenas durante a síntese lipídica, quando avaliadas as junções entre dose de radiação e período de incubação
Microbial lipids present similar composition to vegetable oils and has aroused great interest among researchers. In addition, studies show that by submitting a microorganism to low doses of gamma radiation, stimuli are promoted, which could increase the function, cell resistance, and the growth. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the effects of low doses of gamma radiation on the growth and lipid synthesis of Yarrowia lipolytica. The yeast received irradiation doses of: (control); 0.3; 0.5; 0.75; 1.0; 1.25 and 2.5 kGy gamma radiation dose rate in 0.259 kGy/h. Neubauer Chamber was used to analyze cell viability of the yeast. A growth curve and survival curve was determined by spectrophotometry. Then, the yeast was inoculated in the medium composed of syrup sugarcane and vinasse and incubated for 7, 14 and 21 days for the obtaining of dry biomass, by lyophilization, and lipid synthesis, by extraction methodology. The low doses of irradiation had no effect on the growth, survival, and production of dry biomass of Y. lipolytica. For the incubation periods, there was interference in the final production; the highest production was obtained on day 14 (13.46 g/L). The results for lipid synthesis revealed interference with the final production of lipids, being better at a dose of 0.5 kGy to 21 days incubation with yield of 4.17 g/L (34.94%). In conclusion, the low doses of irradiation had no effect on the growth, survival and biomass production of Y. lipolytica. Hormetic effect was observed only in the lipid synthesis, when the radiation dose was associated with the incubation time

Abstract:

O melanoma é uma neoplasia maligna derivada de melanócitos, o qual tem uma letalidade elevada devido a sua característica altamente invasiva e agressiva. O caule da E. tirucalli produz um látex de coloração branca usado na medicina popular para o tratamento de neoplasias, que possui diversos constituintes ativos, incluindo o eufol, euforbol e isoeuforal. O objetivo do trabalho foi estudar os efeitos antineoplásicos in vitro e in vivo do látex da Euphorbia tirucalli em alguns modelos experimentais in vitro e in vivo. Células de melanoma B16/F10 foram tratadas com as seguintes diluições seriadas do látex a partir de uma concentração inicial de 0,1037ug/uL: 1/2, 1/4, 1/8, 1/16, 1/32, 1/64, 1/128, 1/256, 1/512, 1/1024, 1/2048, 1/5096, 1/11192. A viabilidade celular foi avaliada por MTT às 24, 48 e 72 horas. No experimento primeiro in vivo, células de melanoma foram inoculadas no tecido subcutâneo dorsal lombar de camundongos BALB/c e 10 dias após tratados, ou não, com 0,467ug/25g em volume de 200uL de látex de E. tirucalli por gavagem durante 14 dias. No segundo experimento, camundongos C57BL/6 foram inoculados com células de melanoma B16/F10 na veia da cauda para colonização pulmonar. No experimento in vitro, observou-se uma diminuição da viabilidade celular nas diluições de 1/1024 e 1/11192 no tempo de 24h e ás 48h houve uma diminuição da viabilidade celular nas diluições de 1/128, 1/256, 1/2048 e 1/11192. No experimento in vivo, observou-se que o látex da E. tirucalli foi capaz de reduzir o volume dos tumores subcutâneos em 53,5%, enquanto que o grupo não tratado o volume aumentou em 818,1%. No experimento de inoculação na veia da cauda com melanoma B16/F10 a administração de látex da E. tirucalli foi capaz de reduzir a fração de área pulmonar ocupada pelas colônias para 10,5% enquanto que no grupo não tratado, a fração de área pulmonar com colônias de melanoma aumentou para 35%. Não foram observadas alterações histopatológicas em nenhum dos grupos experimentais em outros órgãos. Os efeitos de redução de tumor, redução das colônias pulmonares e da viabilidade celular podem ser devidos à ação dos constituintes do látex que já demonstraram ter atividade antiproliferativa e citotóxica em outros experimentos, como o eufol e o euforbol. Embora o látex seja uma substância tóxica, ela pode ter tido, nas maiores diluições utilizadas, um efeito positivo para o tratamento do tipo hormesis
Melanoma is a malignant neoplasm derived from melanocytes, which has a high lethality due to its highly invasive and aggressive trait. The E. tirucalli stem produces a white latex used in folk medicine for the treatment of cancer, this product has several active constituents, including euphol, euphorbol and isoeuphoral. The objective of this work was to study the antineoplastic effects of Euphorbia tirucalli latex in experimental models in vitro and in vivo. B16/F10 melanoma cells were treated with the following serial dilutions of the latex from an initial concentration of 0.1037ug/?l: 1/2, 1/4, 1/8, 1/16, 1/32, 1/64, 1/128, 1/256, 1/512, 1/1024, 1/2048, 1/5096, 1/11192. Cell viability was assessed by MTT at 24, 48 and 72 hours. In the first in vivo experiment, melanoma cells were inoculated into the lumbar dorsal subcutaneous tissue of BALB/c mice and 10 days later they were treated or not treated with 0.467ug/25g of body weight in of 200?L of E. tirucalli latex by gavage for 14 days. In the second experiment, C57BL/ 6 mice were inoculated with B16/F10 melanoma cells into the tail vein for lung colonization. In the in vitro experiment, a decrease in cell viability at 1/1024 and 1/11192 dilutions was observed at 24h, and at 48h there was a decrease in cell viability at the dilutions of 1/128, 1/256, 1/2048 and 1/11192. In the in vivo experiment it was observed that the latex of E. tirucalli could reduce the volume of the subcutaneous tumors in 53.5% while in the untreated group the volume increased 818.1%. In the experiment of inoculation into the tail vein with B16/F10 melanoma cells, E. tirucalli latex administration was able to reduce the fraction of lung area occupied by the colonies to 10.5% whereas in the untreated group, the fraction of lung area with colonies was 35%. No histopathological changes were observed in any of the experimental groups in other organs. The effects of tumor reduction, reduction of lung colonies and cell viability may be due to the action of latex constituents that have already demonstrated antiproliferative and cytotoxic activity in other experiments, such as euphol and euphorbol. Although latex is a toxic substance, it may have developed, at the low dilutions used, a positive effect for the treatment of the hormesis type

Abstract:

This thesis examines the toxicity of the herbicide glyphosate (two formulations ¡V technical grade and Roundup Biactive RB) and the insecticide chlorpyrifos CPF to a model freshwater food chain of a producer and consumer. The importance of studying the toxicity of low (environmentally realistic) concentrations of pesticides to non-target organisms is highlighted. An extensive literature review on the toxicity of glyphosate and chlorpyrifos to aquatic organisms is provided. The requirements for the maintenance of algal (Chlorella vulgaris, Chlorella pyrenoidosa and Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata) and Daphnia carinata cultures are discussed. The effects of two formulations of the herbicide glyphosate (technical grade and Roundup Biactiveµ) and the insecticide chlorpyrifos on the growth of Chlorella pyrenoidosa and Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata were studied, and the EC50 values determined. Hormesis was observed when P. subcapitata was exposed to concentrations of Roundup equal to 7% and 4% of its EC50 respectively. When exposed to chlorpyrifos concentrations 0.3-5 Ýg/L, hormesis was observed for both algal species with a maximum at 0.06% of EC50. The effects of sublethal concentrations of chlorpyrifos on population characteristics of Daphnia carinata were investigated in multiple-generation toxicity testing using individual culture. Exposure to chlorpyrifos affected survival and fecundity of animals in the first generation. In the second generation the most affected endpoint was time to the first brood with an indication of hormesis. LC50 tests were then conducted using animals of the third generation from each of the exposures in individual tests. Results of testing the third generation showed a constant significant decline in LC50 in the order of control daphnids through to ¡¥0.1 LC50¡¦ pre-exposed daphnids. The same experimental protocol was used in testing of glyphosate (technical grade and Roundup Biactive). Glyphosate was tested in two different media: sea salt solution and M4 medium, while Roundup Biactive was tested in M4 medium. Results indicated that glyphosate and Roundup Biactive had low toxicity to Daphnia. Hormesis was evident in sea salt medium exposures in the first and second generations of daphnids with glyphosate. When exposed to glyphosate and Roundup Biactive in M4 medium animals showed no indication of hormesis. It is hypothesized that glyphosate may have compensated for the lack of microelements in the sea salt medium, and possible mechanisms discussed.The modifying effect of glyphosate on the toxicity of cadmium to Daphnia carinata was studied using the same experimental design. Low concentrations of Roundup Biactive reduced the toxicity of cadmium, and the performance of daphnia was enhanced in terms of animal size, survival, fecundity, and the rate of natural increase in both generations in the presence of glyphosate. However when the third generation was tested for their sensitivity to Cd in the 48-h LC50 experiments there was no difference between RB-free and RB-spiked treatments in pair wise comparisons, indicating that no adaptation mechanisms were involved in the enhancement. The implications of these observed effects for environmental freshwater food chains subjected to pesticide exposure are discussed and recommendations on modifying pesticide use are provided.

Abstract:

Weed management options in agronomic crop production have been severely limited by widespread populations of weeds resistant to herbicides, including waterhemp [Amaranthus tuberculatus (Moq.) Sauer (syn. rudis)] resistant to foliar applications of herbicides that inhibit protoporphyrinogen oxidase (PPO; EC 1.3.3.4) activity (PPO-R). Herbicides within this site of action (WSSA site of action #14) remain efficacious when soil-applied to PPO-R waterhemp populations. Therefore, the continued use of these herbicides for soil-residual control of PPO-R waterhemp, especially in soybean production, is paramount with limited postemergence herbicides that remain effective. An improved understanding of the selection for PPO-R waterhemp would provide information to help minimize future loss of residual PPO-inhibiting herbicide activity. Five studies, consisting of 14 experiments, were conducted to improve our understanding of the selection for herbicide-resistant individuals. Soil-residual herbicides have been suspected to select for herbicide-resistant individuals; however, this phenomenon has never been observed experimentally in field conditions. This dissertation provides direct evidence from greenhouse and field experiments that significant selection pressure can occur from soil-residual herbicides; however, this selection for resistance could be delayed when using full commercial herbicide rates and effective herbicides from multiple sites of action. Also, the frequency of heterozygous individuals (RS) and PPO-inhibiting herbicide efficacy on RS individuals is a factor in the selection for herbicide resistance; however, current information on the these topics is limited. To provide additional information on RS individuals, a large-scale genotypic and phenotypic screen of multiple PPO-R waterhemp populations was conducted. It was determined that RS individuals were less frequent than expected and PPO-inhibiting herbicide efficacy on RS individuals was population-dependent. Finally, the hormetic effects of soil-residual herbicides have been paradoxically implicated as a means of both mitigating and exacerbating the selection for herbicide resistant biotypes; however, limited information was available on the hormetic effects of soil-residual PPO inhibitors. Greenhouse and growth chamber experiments were conducted to improve understanding of hormesis and soil-residual PPO-inhibiting herbicides. Experiments indicated that PPO-inhibiting herbicides may exert a limited hormetic effect on waterhemp germination below doses that cause a phytotoxic effect of the emerging seedling, indicating this effect may exacerbate the issue of selection for PPO-R waterhemp. Overall, data presented in this dissertation provides important information on the under-studied interaction between PPO-inhibiting herbicides and PPO-R waterhemp to safeguard the sustained efficacy of herbicides within this site of action.

Abstract:

O ácaro purpúreo, Panonychus citri (McGregor) (Acari: Tetranychidae), ainda é considerado uma praga de importância secundária nos pomares cítricos brasileiros. No entanto, nos últimos anos, sua população vem aumentando consideravelvente devido a ocorrência de surtos populacionais do ácaro que, na maioria das vezes, causam danos consideráveis nas plantas e exige que medidas de controle sejam adotadas. Neste sentido, objetivou-se com esse estudo, avaliar os níveis de suscetibilidade de diferentes espécies e variedades de plantas cítricas no desenvolvimento e reprodução de P. citri; elucidar as causas biológicas, comportamentais e demográficas responsáveis pelo aumento populacional do ácaro após a aplicação de inseticidas piretroides; demonstrar os impactos desses inseticidas sobre o predador Iphiseiodes zuluagai Denmark & Muma (Acari: Phytoseiidae) e verificar a atividade de biopesticidas à base de azadirachtin, annonin e matrine como tática adicional de controle de P. citri. Os resultados demonstraram que as espécies e variedades de plantas cítricas apresentaram diferentes níveis de suscetibilidade ao ácaro P. citri. A maior taxa de crescimento populacional do ácaro ocorreu em laranjeira Valência e limoeiro Siciliano quando comparados as laranjeiras Pera, Natal e Hamlin e tangerineira Ponkan, demonstrando que esses hospedeiros podem contribuir para o aumento populacional do ácaro. Entre os hospedeiros avaliados, laranjeira Hamlin proporcionou menor taxa de crescimento de P. citri, demonstrando que essa variedade é menos favorável ao desenvolvimento e reprodução do ácaro quando comparado aos demais hospedeiros testados. Além das diferentes taxas de crescimento do ácaro proporcionado pelas plantas hospedeiras, o uso de inseticidas piretroides e neonicotinoides também contribuem para o aumento populacional do ácaro P. citri. Com base nos resultados, o aumento na dispersão e na deterrência de alimentação e oviposição dos ácaros proporcionados pelos inseticidas piretroides, a insensibilidade dos diferentes estádios de desenvolvimento do ácaros aos inseticidas neonicotinoides e ao efeito hormese, caracterizado pelo aumento na fecundidade das fêmeas expostas principalmente aos inseticidas piretroides deltamethrin e lambda-cyhalothrin e o neonicotinoide imidacloprid foram as principais causas biológicas e comportamentais associadas ao aumento populacional de P. citri. Por outro lado, os inseticidas esfenvalerate e thiamethoxam não ocasionaram aumento significativo nos parâmetros demográficos do ácaro quando comparado aos demais tratamentos avaliados. Além das alterações na abundância populacional de P. citri, os inseticidas piretroides ocasionaram redução na sobrevivência e/ou reprodução do predador I. zuluagai, demonstrando que esses produtos podem afetar a densidade e a efetividade do predador no controle biológico de artrópodes-praga nos pomares cítricos. Diante do aumento na abundância e na frequência de surtos populacionais do ácaro P. citri após a aplicação de inseticidas piretroides e neonicotinoides e dos impactos ocasionados sobre o predador I. zuluagai novas alternativas de controle de P. citri foram investigadas no presente estudo. Os resultados demonstraram que o uso de biopesticidas à base de azadirachtin, annonin e matrine apresentaram alta atividade contra P. citri e pode ser uma importante alternativa para uso no manejo do ácaro em substituição ou rotação com acaricidas sintéticos. As informações obtidas no presente estudo contribuirão para subsidiar os programas de manejo integrado de pragas nos pomares cítricos.
The citrus red mite, Panonychus citri (McGregor) (Acari: Tetranychidae), is still considered a pest of secondary importance in Brazilian citrus groves. However, in recent years, its population has been increasing considerably due to occurrence of mite outbreaks that, in most cases, cause considerable damage to the plants and requires the adoption of control measures. Thus, the purpose of this study was to evaluate the susceptibility levels of different species and varieties of citrus plants to the development and reproduction of P. citri; to elucidate the biological, behavioral and demographic causes responsible for mite population growth after application of pyrethroids and neonicotinoids insecticides; to demonstrate the impact of these pesticides on Iphiseiodes zuluagai Denmark & Muma (Acari: Phytoseiidae) predator and to verify the activity of azadirachtin-, annonin-, and matrine-based biopesticides as additional tactic of P. citri control. The results showed that the species and varieties of citrus plants showed different susceptibility levels to P. citri mite. The highest growth rates of mite population occurred in Valencia orange and Sicilian lemon compared to Pera, Natal and Hamlin oranges and Ponkan mandarin, demonstrating that these hosts can contribute to mite population growth. Among the hosts evaluated, Hamlin sweet orange showed lower growth rate of P. citri, showing that this variety is less favorable to the development and reproduction of the mite when compared to other hosts tested. In addition to the different growth rates of the mite provided by host plants, the use of pyrethroid and neonicotinoids insecticides also contributed to the P. citri population growth. Based on the results, the increase in dispersion and feeding and oviposition deterrence of the mites provided by the pyrethroids insecticides, the insensibility of the different development stages of mites to neonicotinoids insecticides and hormesis effect, characterized by increasing the fecundity of female exposed mainly to insecticides deltamethrin and lambda-cyhalothrin pyrethroids and imidacloprid neonicotinoid were the main biological and behavioral causes associated to population growth of P. citri. On the other hand, esfenvalerate and thiamethoxam insecticides did not cause a significant increase in the demographic parameters of the mite when compared to other treatments. Besides the changes in population abundance of P. citri, the pyrethroid insecticides caused reduction in survival and/or reproduction of I. zuluagai predator, demonstrating that these products can affect density and effectiveness of the predator in the biological control of arthropod pests in citrus groves. Given the increase in abundance and frequency of outbreaks of P. citri after application of pyrethroid and neonicotinoids insecticides and of impacts caused to I. zuluagai predator new management alternatives to P. citri control were investigated in this study. The results showed that the use of azadirachtin-, annonin-, and matrine-based biopesticides had high activity against P. citri and may be an important alternative in the management of the mite in replacement or rotation with synthetic acaricides. The information obtained in this study will contribute to support the integrated pest management programs of citrus groves.

Plantas de eucalipto são sensíveis a estresses abióticos em seu desenvolvimento inicial, sendo as deficiências hídrica e nutricional dois dos mais recorrentes dentre eles. O maturador etil-trinexapac pode afetar positivamente o eucalipto, resposta caracterizada como hormese, conferindo às plantas maior tolerância aos estresses. Diante disto, objetivou-se avaliar o efeito do etil-trinexapac no crescimento inicial do eucalipto em condições de estresse hídrico e nutricional. Quatro experimentos foram conduzidos em casa de vegetação, em vasos de 15 L, sendo dois sob deficiência hídrica e dois sob deficiência nutricional (NPK). Nas duas condições, foram utilizadas duas épocas de aplicação de etil-trinexapac (antes do plantio - AP; e depois do plantio - DP) em mudas de Eucalyptus urophylla (clone I-144). Avaliou-se: trocas gasosas, teor de clorofila total, altura, diâmetro do caule, área foliar, matéria seca e relação raiz/parte aérea. Para a deficiência hídrica, conduziu-se dois experimentos simultaneamente, durante 74 dias após o plantio (DAP) do eucalipto. Os tratamentos consistiram da combinação de três doses de etil-trinexapac (0,0; 30 e 60 g i.a. ha-1) e duas condições hídricas (sem estresse e com deficiência hídrica – conduzido a 20% da capacidade de campo). Adotou-se o delineamento de blocos casualizados, em esquema fatorial 3x2, com cinco repetições. Na época de aplicação AP, a pulverização de etil-trinexapac ocorreu aos 0 DAP e na época de aplicação DP, aos 24 DAP. Houve efeito positivo para a taxa de assimilação líquida de CO2 aos 27 e 40 DAP, para o DP e AP, respectivamente. As plantas de eucalipto na ausência de deficiência hídrica apresentaram maior crescimento, independentemente da época de aplicação. Conclui-se que o etil-trinexapac não ocasionou efeito hormético no eucalipto, independentemente da condição hídrica, e as épocas de aplicação influenciaram de formas distintas as características avaliadas, não havendo efeito prejudicial em nenhuma delas. Para a deficiência nutricional, conduziu-se dois experimentos simultaneamente, durante 81 DAP. Os tratamentos consistiram da combinação de três doses de etil-trinexapac (0,0; 30 e 60 g i.a. ha-1) e quatro variações da solução nutritiva de Hoagland e Arnon (solução completa, -N, -P e -K). Utilizou-se delineamento de blocos casualizados, em esquema fatorial 3x4, com cinco repetições. Na época de aplicação AP a pulverização do maturador ocorreu aos 0 DAP, enquanto no DP, aos 33 DAP. As plantas em solução –K não diferiram das cultivadas em solução completa. O tratamento –N proporcionou maior relação raiz/parte aérea, mas resultou em menor crescimento, seguido pelo –P. Quando em –P, o etil-trinexapac teve efeito positivo para a matéria seca total (AP) e área foliar (DP). O maturador afetou positivamente algumas características fotossintéticas do eucalipto.
Eucalyptus plants are sensitive to abiotic stresses in their initial development, and water and nutritional deficiencies are two of the most recurrent among them. Trinexapac-ethyl can positively affect eucalyptus, a response known as hormesis, possible providing plants greater tolerance to stress. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of trinexapac-ethyl on the initial growth of eucalyptus under conditions of water and nutritional stress. Four experiments were conducted in greenhouse, in 15 L pots. Two in the water deficiency condition and two in nutritional deficiency (NPK). In both deficiency conditions, two trinexapac-ethyl application times (before planting - BP and after planting - AP) in Eucalyptus urophylla (clone I-144) were used. The following variables were evaluated: gas exchange, total chlorophyll content, height, stem diameter, leaf area, dry matter and root/shoot ratio. For water deficiency, two experiments were conducted simultaneously, during 74 days after planting (DAP) of eucalyptus. The treatments consisted of three doses of trinexapac-ethyl (0.0, 30 and 60 g i.a. ha-1) and two water conditions (no stress and water deficiency - conducted at 20% field capacity). A randomized complete block design was used in a 3x2 factorial scheme with five replications. In the BP application time, trinexapac-ethyl was sprayed at 0 DAP and in AP mode at 24 DAP. We found a positive effect for net assimilation rate at 27 and 40 DAP, for AP and BP, respectively. Eucalyptus plants in the absence of water deficiency showed higher growth, regardless application time. We concluded that trinexapac-ethyl did not cause hormesis on eucalyptus, regardless water status, and the application time influenced the characteristics evaluated in different ways, with no harmful effect in any of them. For nutritional deficiency, two experiments were conducted simultaneously, for 81 DAP. The treatments consisted of three doses of trinexapac-ethyl (0.0, 30 and 60 g i.a. ha-1) and four variations of the nutrient solution of Hoagland and Arnon: complete solution, -N, -P and -K. A randomized complete block design was used in a 3x4 factorial scheme with five replications. In the BP application time, trinexapac-ethyl was sprayed at 0 DAP, while in AP, at 33 DAP. Plants in -K solution did not differ from those grown in complete solution. The treatment -N provided a higher root/shoot ratio, but resulted in lower growth, followed by -P. In -P solution, trinexapac-ethyl had a positive effect on total dry matter (BP) and leaf area (AP). Trinexapac-ethyl positively affected some photosynthetic characteristics of eucalyptus.

Abstract:

Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico
Metals environment aquatic contamination has been a growing problem with serious consequences to life of different species over time, even after interrupted their emission into the environment. Among relevance metals, manganese (Mn) has shown importance to be related to several activities such as oil exploration, coal deposits extraction, fertilizer use in agriculture, among others. In living organisms, Mn is an essential trace element for a number of vital functions, and involves energy regulation by blood clotting. On the other hand, high concentrations of Mn can cause irreversible damage to living organisms primarily affecting central nervous system (CNS). Thus, waterborne Mn toxicity can switch from aquatic species, while metal bioaccumulation in marine fish or freshwater has been found around 0.2 to 19.0 mg/kg dry weight. In this study, silver catfish (Rhamdia quelen) were exposed to different Mn concentrations (4.2; 8.4 e 16.2 mg/L), under two different dissolved oxygen levels, normoxia (7.48 ± 0.28) and hypoxia (3.88 ± 0.41) for 15 days. At the end of protocol, Mn bioaccumulation as well parameters of oxidative stress and mitochondrial viability were evaluated in different tissues. In hypoxic conditions, the highest Mn concentration (16.2 mg/L) showed the lowest silver catfish kidney and brain lipoperoxidation (LPO) levels, while brain reduced glutathione (GSH) levels were increased in lower Mn concentration (4.2 mg/L) and kidney catalase activity was reduced in the same metal concentration, in relation to normoxia. Lowest Mn concentration (4.2 mg/L) in hypoxia showed higher gills mitochondrial viability, compared to normoxia. Hematocrit of silver catfish exposed to two highest Mn concentration (8.4 and 16.2 mg/L) was reduced in normoxia conditions while under hypoxia, these values were similar to control. Plasma except, Mn bioaccumulation in liver, kidney and gills were higher in normoxia than hypoxia. From these results is possible to suggest that hypoxia stimulates the development of adaptive mechanisms and/or hormesis in silver catfish exposed to Mn, mainly because the lower metal bioaccumulation occurred in this oxygen level. Contributing with this, under hypoxia, oxidative damage indicators were lower than those observed in normoxia, which were accompanied by changes in antioxidant system represented by GSH and catalase. In conclusion, our results show in the first time that silver catfish exposed to Mn contamination is able to show a better survival under hypoxia. These findings indicate need for continuing studies in search of molecular mechanisms involved in the adaptation and or hormesis processes, which were suggested here.
A contaminação do meio aquático por metais tem sido um problema crescente para à vida de diferentes espécies, mesmo depois de interrompida sua emissão no ambiente. Entre os metais de relevância, o manganês (Mn) apresenta importância por estar relacionado a uma série de atividades tais como exploração de petróleo, extrativismo em jazidas de carvão mineral, utilização de fertilizantes na agricultura, entre outros. Nos organismos vivos, o Mn constitui um oligoelemento essencial para uma série de funções vitais, e envolve desde a regulação da energia até coagulação sangüínea. Por outro lado, quando em concentrações elevadas, o Mn pode causar danos irreversíveis aos organismos afetando principalmente o sistema nervoso central (SNC). A toxicidade do Mn dissolvido na água pode variar entre as espécies aquáticas, a bioacumulação do metal em peixes marinhos ou de água doce tem sido encontrada em torno de 0,2 até 19,0 mg/kg de peso seco. No presente estudo, jundiás (Rhamdia quelen) foram expostos a diferentes concentrações de Mn (4,2; 8,4 e 16,2 mg/L), sob dois diferentes níveis de oxigênio dissolvido: normóxia (7,48±0,28 mg/L) e hipóxia (3,88±0,41 mg/L), durante 15 dias. Ao final do protocolo, a bioacumulação de Mn bem como, parâmetros de estresse oxidativo e a viabilidade mitocondrial foram avaliados em diferentes tecidos vitais. Em condições de hipóxia, a maior concentração de Mn (16,2 mg/L) mostrou os menores níveis de lipoperoxidação (LPO) em rim e encéfalo dos jundiás, enquanto os níveis de glutationa reduzida (GSH) encefálico foram aumentados na menor concentração de Mn (4,2 mg/L) e a atividade da catalase renal foi reduzida nesta mesma concentração de metal, em relação à normoxia. A menor concentração de Mn (4,2 m/L) em hipóxia proporcionou maior viabilidade mitocondrial das brânquias, em relação à normóxia. O hematócrito dos jundiás expostos às duas maiores concentrações de Mn (8,4 e 16,2 mg/L) foi reduzido em condições de normóxia, enquanto sob hipóxia, estes valores foram semelhantes ao grupo sem a presença do metal. Sob normóxia, a bioacumulação de Mn em fígado, rim e brânquias foi maior que sob hipóxia, excetuando o plasma. A partir desses resultados é possível sugerir que a hipóxia pode ter estimulado o desenvolvimento de mecanismos adaptativos ou de hormesis nos jundiás, em presença de Mn na água, principalmente porque neste nível de oxigênio, a bioacumulação do metal ocorreu em menor grau. Contribuindo com este resultado, sob hipóxia, os indicadores de danos oxidativos foram mais baixos que os observados sob normóxia, os quais foram acompanhados de alterações do sistema antioxidante representado pela GSH e catalase. Neste sentido, nossos resultados apontam para uma melhor sobrevivência da espécie em estudo, sob hipóxia, quando exposta ao Mn. Estes achados indicam a necessidade da continuidade dos estudos, em busca dos mecanismos moleculares envolvidos no processo de adaptação aqui sugeridos.

Abstract:

Os corantes são amplamente utilizados nas indústrias têxteis, farmacêuticas, alimentícias, cosméticas, fotográficas, entre outras. Contudo, essas substâncias podem ser tóxicas, mutagênicas e resistentes a muitos processos de degradação utilizados em estações de tratamento. Estima-se que cerca de 15% dos corantes utilizados no mundo sejam perdidos durante o processo de tingimento e lançados no ambiente, atingindo principalmente os corpos d\'água. No entanto, apesar da grande quantidade de corantes comerciais disponíveis e da alta quantidade lançada no ecossistema aquático, os estudos sobre a toxicidade dessas substâncias são escassos e pouco se conhece sobre seus efeitos mutagênicos e principalmente ecotoxicológicos. Dentro deste contexto, o objetivo do trabalho foi avaliar a ecotoxicidade, bem como a capacidade dos corantes têxteis Reactive Blue 4 (RB 4) e Reactive Blue 15 (RB 15) de lesar o material genético, empregando ensaios de toxicidade aguda com Daphnia similis e Vibrio fischeri, toxicidade crônica com Ceriodaphnia dubia, genotoxicidade (Teste do Cometa) com fibroblastos de derme humana e mutagenicidade com Salmonella typhimurium. Adicionalmente, avaliou-se a concentração de cobre em Ceriodaphnia dubia expostas ao corante Reactive Blue 15, que possui esse metal na sua estrutura química. O corante RB 4 foi moderadamente tóxico e o corante RB 15 foi relativamente não tóxico para Daphnia similis. Ambos corantes reduziram a luminescência de Vibrio fischeri em elevadas concentrações, sendo o corante RB 4 mais tóxico para a bactéria quando comparado ao corante RB 15. O corante RB 4 induziu efeito hormesis nos ensaios com C. dubia, ou seja, houve um estímulo na reprodução nas menores concentrações, seguido por um decréscimo em concentrações mais elevadas, ao passo que, o corante RB 15 reduziu a fecundidade de C. dubia. Não houve acúmulo de cobre nos organismos expostos ao corante RB 15. Nenhum dos corantes foram genotóxicos para fibroblastos de derme humana e apenas o corante RB 4 induziu mutagenicidade, por substituição de pares de base. Os resultados obtidos mostram que os corantes podem causar efeitos adversos nos organismos mesmo em baixas concentrações e que o lançamento contínuo dessas substâncias nos corpos d\'água é preocupante.
Dyes are widely used in different types of industries, such as textile, pharmaceutical, food, cosmetics, photographic, among others. However, these substances can be toxic, mutagenic and resistant to many degradation processes used in wastewater treatment. It is estimated that about 15% of the dyes used in the world is lost during the dyeing process and released into the environment, affecting mainly water bodies. However, despite the large amount of commercial dyes available and high quantity released in the aquatic ecosystem, studies on the toxicity of these substances are scarce and little is known about their mutagenic and ecotoxicological effects. Considering that, the aim of this study was to evaluate the ecotoxicity, and the ability of the Reactive Blue 4 (RB 4) and Reactive Blue 15 (RB 15) textile dyes to damage the genetic material, using acute toxicity tests with Daphnia similis and Vibrio fischeri, Ceriodaphnia dubia chronic toxicity, genotoxicity (Comet assay) in human dermal fibroblasts and mutagenicity with Salmonella typhimurium. Additionally, we assessed the concentration of copper in Ceriodaphnia dubia exposed to the Reactive Blue 15 dye, which has this metal in its chemical structure. The RB 4 dye was moderately toxic and RB 15 dye was relatively non-toxic to Daphnia similis. Both dyes reduced the Vibrio fischeri luminescence in high concentrations, and the RB 4 was more toxic to bacteria when compared to dye RB 15. The RB 4 dye induced hormesis effect in the C. dubia tests. We observed that the reproduction was stimulated at lower concentrations followed by a decrease at higher concentrations. While the RB 15 dye reduced fecundity of Ceriodaphnia dubia. There was no accumulation of copper in organisms exposed to the RB 15 dye. None of the dyes were genotoxic to human dermal fibroblasts, and only the RB 4 dye induced mutagenicity, by base-pair substitution. The results show that the dyes can cause adverse effects on organisms even at low concentrations and that the continuous release of these substances in water bodies is worrying.

Abstract:

The exposure to high doses of ionizing radiation (>5Gy) is unequivocally associated with increased cancer risk. However, there is substantial experimental evidence showing that in response to low doses of ionizing radiation (LDR: <100mGy), cells and organisms are benefitted with delayed ageing, improved immunity and reduced cancer growth. These intriguing findings have proposed the “Radiation Hormesis” hypothesis. Herein, I studied the senescence effects of LDR exposure to normal human HFL1 cells and examined transcriptional changes. I found that HFL1 cells exposed to 10 mGy of gamma radiation had delayed senescence measured at 12 weeks post-irradiation compared to unirradiated cells. Through qPCR array analysis, I found that genes involved in human cellular senescence functions are differentially regulated in 10 mGy exposed cells at 12 weeks compared to 1-week post-exposure. A nucleolar protein, SIRT7, that belongs to the family of proteins called Sirtuins with known roles in aging, was found to be upregulated transcriptionally in LDR-exposed HFL1 cells. Knocking out SIRT7 protein significantly accelerated senescence in HFL1 cells suggesting a direct role of SIRT7 in the deceleration of senescence and potentially in mediating radiation hormesis. Furthermore, overexpression of the HRAS oncogene strongly accelerated senescence in HFL1 cells through gene expression of cell cycle regulators and checkpoint proteins. Together, my studies revealed that LDR induces unique transcriptional changes resulting in a potentially radio adaptive protective cellular response. I also discuss the HRAS overexpression system as a time-efficient cellular model that could be used to more rapidly study the effect of LDR on senescence using primary cultures.

Abstract:

Many organisms can acclimate to new environments through phenotypic plasticity, a complex trait that can be heritable, be subject to selection, and evolve. However, the rate and genetic basis of plasticity evolution remain largely unknown. Experimentally evolved populations of the nematode Caenorhabditis remanei were created by selecting for stress resistance under different environmental conditions. This resource was used to address key questions about how phenotypic plasticity evolves and what the genetic basis of plasticity is. Here, I highlight ways in which a fuller understanding of the environmental context influences our interpretation of the evolution of phenotypic plasticity. In a population selected to withstand heat stress, an apparent case of genetic assimilation did not show correlated changes in global gene regulation. However, further investigation revealed that the induced plasticity was not fixed across environments, but rather the threshold for the response was shifted over evolutionary time. Similarly, the past environment experienced by populations can play a role in directing the multivariate response to selection. Correlated responses to selection between traits and across environments were examined. The pattern of covariation in the evolutionary response among traits differed depending on the environment in which selection occurred, indicating that there exists variation in pleiotropy across the stress response network that is highly sensitive to the external environment. To understand how the patterns of pleiotropy are altered by environment and evolution, there is a pressing need to determine the structure of the molecular networks underlying plastic phenotypes. Using RNA-sequencing, the structure of the gene regulatory network is examined for a subset of evolved populations from one environment. Key modules within this network were identified that are strong candidates for the evolution of phenotypic plasticity in this system. Together, the data presented in this dissertation provide a comprehensive view of the myriad ways in which the environment shapes the genetic architecture of stress response phenotypes and directs the evolution of phenotypic plasticity. Additionally, the structure of transcriptional network provides valuable insight into the genetic basis of adaptation to environmental change and the evolution of phenotypic plasticity. This dissertation includes both previously published and co-authored material.

Abstract:

Hormesis is a dose response phenomenon where low doses of a stress bring about a positive response in the organism undergoing treatment. UV-C hormesis has been known for over three decades and has a broad range of benefits on postharvest produce. Benefits include increased nutritional content, delayed chlorophyll degradation and disease resistance. The beneficial effects have been observed on many varieties of fresh produce including climacteric and non-climacteric fruit, tubers, salads and brassicas. The majority of previous studies have used low-intensity (LIUV) UV-C sources. LIUV sources require lengthy treatment times, which are in the region of 6 minutes for tomato fruit. This has, in part, prevented the commercial application of this technique. High-intensity, pulsed polychromatic light (HIPPL) sources, however, have recently been developed. HIPPL sources may have the potential to drastically reduce treatment times and increase their commercial viability. It was shown, here, that the use of HIPPL can control disease (reduce disease progression) caused by Botrytis cinerea and Penicillium expansum and also delay ripening on tomato fruit. Both disease control and delayed ripening were at similar levels for LIUV and HIPPL treatments on mature green fruit. The HIPPL treatments used in these studies can reduce treatment times for tomato fruit by 97.3%. Both HIPPL and LIUV treatments elicit local responses irrespective of the treatment orientation and tomato fruit, therefore, require full surface irradiation. Furthermore, UV-C in the HIPPL source is not required for disease control or delayed ripening. It does, however, contribute approximately 50% towards the total observed effects. Investigations into the mechanisms underpinning postharvest HIPPL and LIUV hormesis, on tomato fruit, identified that the expression of genes involved in plant hormone biosynthesis, defence, secondary metabolism and ripening were affected. This indicates that disease control is achieved through induced resistance. Changes to expression, following treatment, were highly similar for both HIPPL and LIUV treatments and were mediated by salicylic acid, jasmonic acid and ethylene. This may lead to broad range resistance against necrotrophic and biotrophic pathogens as well as abiotic stresses and herbivorous pests. Recently, the exposure of foliage to UV-C has been shown to induce resistance against B. cinerea on Arabidopsis thaliana. The horticultural applications of such treatments, however, have not been explored. Pre-harvest treatments of lettuce in the glasshouse showed variation in damage threshold and optimal treatment to control disease following LIUV and HIPPL treatment. Further sources of variation included the cultivar, pathogen of interest and the point that treatment was applied during the year. Using a controlled environment allowed seasonal variation to be mitigated and both HIPPL and LIUV treatments controlled disease against B. cinerea. For pre-harvest treatments to be a success in the glasshouse, further studies into how both biotic and abiotic factors influence treatment is required. To circumvent the problems associated with pre-harvest treatments and environmental variation in the glasshouse, LIUV seed treatments were performed on tomato. Control of B. cinerea was established with an approximately 10% reduction in incidence and disease progression with a 4 kJ/m2 treatment. When monitoring the effect of treatment on germination and early seedling development it was also identified that an 8 kJ/m2 treatment led to biostimulation of germination and root and shoot growth.

Muito já foi e ainda vem sendo estudado sobre os efeitos clássicos de dose-resposta dos herbicidas e uma outra vertente que vem surgindo são as respostas bifásicas, que incluem hormesis, caracterizada por doses baixas de um herbicida que causa estímulo e inibição em dose elevada. Assim como o estímulo pode ser benéfico na agricultura em algumas aplicações, porem quando ocorre em plantas não alvo, o efeito de hormesis pode-se tornar um problema. Nesse trabalho foram realizados quatro experimentos. Um experimento de curva dose-resposta para biótipo resistente e suscetível de Digitaria insularis, resistente ao herbicida glyphosate, avaliando-se altura das plantas, massa fresca e seca e fitotoxicidade (%) aos 7, 14 e 21 dias após a aplicação. Houve também a repetição do mesmo, um experimento com subdosagem de glyphosate para averiguar o efeito das subdosagens no florescimento, avaliando-se o número de panículas emitidos após a aplicação dos tratamentos e o quarto experimento que foi a verificação da germinação, índice de velocidade de germinação e peso de sementes provindas do terceiro experimento. O efeito de estímulo das subdoses foram constatados em todos os experimentos sendo que diferentes faixas de doses causaram o efeito de hormesis nos biótipos de D.insularis, resistente e suscetível havendo aumento de altura, massa, peso de sementes e velocidade de germinação e diminuição do tempo necessário para emissão das inflorescências. Esses efeitos podem conceder uma grande vantagem para a disseminação dessa espécie, auxiliando a alteração da flora de plantas infestantes.
Currently much has been studied about the classic dose-response effects of herbicides and another aspect that is emerging are the biphasic responses, which include hormesis, a biphasic dose-response phenomenon characterized by low dose stimulation and high dose inhibition. Just as the stimulus may be beneficial in agriculture in several applications, when this stimulus occurs in non-target plants, the effect of hormesis can become a problem. In this work, a dose-response curve experiment was performed for resistant and susceptible biotypes of Digitaria insularis, resistant to the glyphosate herbicide and evaluating plant height, fresh and dry mass and phytotoxicity (%) at 7, 14 and 21 days after application. The second experiment was the repetition of the firs. An experiment with subdoses of glyphosate are performed to investigate the effect of the subdoses on flowering, evaluating the number of panicles emitted after the application of the treatments and the fourth experiment that was the verification of the germination, germination speed index and seed weight from the third experiment. The effect of subdoses stimulation was observed in all the experiments, with different dose ranges causing the stimulus in the D.insularis biotypes, resistant and susceptible, increasing height, mass, seed weight and germination speed and reduced the time required for inflorescence emission. These effects can give a great advantage to the spread of this species, helping to change the flora of weeds.

Abstract:

Die mittlere Lebenserwartung des Menschen ist über die letzten 200 Jahre kontinuierlich gestiegen. Da Langlebigkeit ohne Gesundheit wenig Wert besitzt, ist es ein zentrales Anliegen, das Auftreten altersbedingter Krankheiten zu mindern. Besonders pflanzliche Phytochemikalien, im speziellen Polyphenole (PPs), sollen erheblich an der Gesundheitsförderung mitwirken. Die exakten Mechanismen jedoch, welche die Wirkvielfalt erklären könnten, sind nicht im Detail bekannt. Diese Fragen können nur durch in vivo Studien an Modelorganismen beantwortet werden, die sowohl die Lebensdauer, sowie physiologische und genetische Parameter einschließen. In dieser Studie wurden drei PPs mit lebensverlängernden Eigenschaften in C. elegans identifiziert: Quercetin (Q), Kaffeesäure (CA) und Rosmarinsäure (RA). Für alle drei PPs wurden hormetische Konzentration-Wirkungs-Kurven gefunden, dennoch war die Hormetin-typische Aktivierung einer Stressantwort (gemessen als Geneexpressions-Level von Hitzeschock-Proteinen) auf Q und RA beschränkt. Eine Umverteilung von Ressourcen nach dem Prinzip der „Disposable Soma Theorie“ konnte anhand von Abweichungen in der Größe, verändertem Lipid-Metabolismus und verzögerter Reproduktion (bei gleichbleibender Anzahl der Nachkommen), für alle drei PPs gezeigt werden. Während direkte CR-Effekte ausgeschlossen wurden, ist dies nicht möglich für durch CA und RA ausgelöste indirekte CR-Effekte, da beide die Lebensspanne von sir-2.1 Mutanten nicht verlängern konnten. Alle drei PPs verlängerten die Lebensspanne von mev-1 Mutanten, jedoch wurde eine erhöhte TAC in vivo und eine reduzierte oxidative Schädigung, nur durch Q- und CA- Gabe erreicht. Die genetischen Wirkwege der PPs wurden durch Lebensdauer- und Thermotoleranztests mit in alters-relevanten Genen mutierten Nematoden definiert. Die gesundheitsfördernden Eigenschaften von CA und RA konnten so osr-1, sek-1, sir-2.1 and unc-43, sowie daf-16 im Falle von CA, zugeschrieben werden. Die Mechanismen von Q wurden in größerem Umfang, durch die Integration von durchgeführten Lebensdauertests und Microarray-Studien einerseits und einer umfassenden Meta-Analyse von veröffentlichten, alters-relevanten Genexpressions-Profilen andererseits, analysiert. Q wirkt vermutlich durch ein komplexes Zusammenspiel von konservierten genetischen Signalwegen, im Speziellen dem Insulin-ähnlichen (ILS), TGF-beta, p38 MAPK, CAMKII und möglicherweise auch über eine von der Keimbahn und somatischen Gonade ausgehenden Signalwirkung. Zusammenfassend lässt sich sagen, dass sowohl in vivo antioxidative und prooxidative Eigenschaften, die Modulation auf Genebene, sowie eine Umverteilung von Ressourcen zu gewissen Teilen (abhängig vom PP) zur Lebensverlängerung beitragen.
The mean life expectancy of humans has increased continuously over the last 200 years. Since longevity is of little value in the absence of health, it is a central request to prevent the increasing burden of age-related diseases. It is suggested that phytochemicals in plants, specifically the polyphenols (PPs), are important factors to support the overall well-being. However, the precise mechanisms that can explain, in full, the magnitude of impact remains elusive. This knowledge gap can only be plugged by in vivo model organism approaches that integrate lifespan assays with physiological, and genetic parameters following the ingestion of PPs. In this study, three PPs with life-extending properties in C. elegans were identified: Quercetin (Q), Caffeic acid (CA) and Rosmarinic acid (RA). The underlying mechanisms were systematically studied by a broad spectrum of functional and genetic investigations. For all three compounds, life extension was characterized by hormetic concentration-response curves, but stress-response induction, a hallmark of hormetin action, was restricted to Q and RA, at least when assessed at the level of gene expression of heat shock proteins. A reallocation of resources in a disposable soma-like pattern could be shown for all three PPs, because the exposure to Q, CA and RA resulted in variations in body size, altered lipid-metabolism and a tendency towards a delay in reproductive timing. However, the total number of offspring was unaltered. While direct CR effects arising from reduced food uptake could be rejected, an indirect CR effect cannot be excluded for CA and RA, as these PPs failed to provoke longevity in sir-2.1 mutants. Furthermore, the in vitro versus in vivo antioxidative properties were evaluated. While all three PPs could prolong mev-1 lifespan, only Q and CA were shown to increase the TAC in vivo and reduce oxidative damage in the nematodes. To define the genetic pathways of PP action, lifespan and thermotolerance assays were performed in mutant animals devoid of aging-relevant genetic players. These experiments revealed that the health gaining properties of CA and RA both rely on osr-1, sek-1, sir-2.1 and unc-43, plus daf-16 in the case of CA. The mechanisms of Q action are partly distinct and were analyzed in more detail by integrating own mutant lifespan assays and microarray studies with an extensive meta-analysis of published gene expression profiles obtained under aging-relevant conditions. Quercetin is proposed to act through a complex interplay of conserved genetic pathways, for example Insulin-like signaling (ILS), TGF-beta signaling, p38 MAPK, CaMKII, and possibly also due to germline and somatic gonad signaling. Taken together, hormesis, in vivo antioxidative/prooxidative properties, modulation of genetic players, as well as the re-allocation of resources all contribute (to some extent and dependent on the polyphenol) to life extension.

Abstract:

Understanding how organisms function is central to Biology. Assessing how animals respond to fluctuations in their environment and determining inter-individual variation in phenotypic plasticity is paramount to identifying the physiology of traits, the selective pressures which have shaped them, and how we can manipulate them to benefit human life. The over-arching goal of my thesis is to understand the effects of sex, diet and pathogen exposure on the physiology of the fruit fly to assess the versatility of their individual traits in response to these natural factors. Chapter 2 investigates how the sexes utilise nutrition towards their lifespan and reproduction, providing evidence that the reproduction of males and females requires different dietary components while lifespan does not. Chapter 3 reveals that the sexes also differ in how they utilise nutrients for pathogen resistance identifying that females are highly protein-limited and more susceptible to infection than males. Chapter 4 provides the first comprehensive study of how organisms alter their dietary intake in response to infection, finding that flies behaviourally ingest less and consume higher protein:carbohydrate ratio diets when exposed to live fungal spores. Chapter 5 explores the phenomenon of trait-enhnacing external stresses, a response often termed hormesis. This study reveals that the beneficial physiological response from inactive fungal spore exposure, a potential form of hormesis, incurs immune costs. The implications of my results to the field of physiology are discussed in Chapter 6 where I also highlight the limitations of my work and potential consequences for life history research. Overall it is determined that studies investigating the natural physiological response of organisms or potentially beneficial treatments for our own species, must consider sex-specific effects, physiological consequences in a variety of traits, and how organisms may utilise variation within their environment to alter their phenotypic condition.

Full text

Abstract:

The heat shock response (HSR) is the cell's molecular reaction to protein damaging stress and is critical in the management of denatured proteins. Activation of HSF1, the master transcriptional regulator of the HSR, results in the induction of molecular chaperones called heat shock proteins (HSPs). Transcription of hsp genes is promoted by the hyperphosphorylation of HSF1, while the attenuation of the HSR is regulated by a dual mechanism involving negative feedback inhibition from HSPs and acetylation at a critical lysine residue within the DNA binding domain of HSF1, which results in a loss of affinity for DNA. SIRT1 is a NAD+-dependent histone deacetylase that has been reported to deacetylate HSF1, thus promoting stress-induced HSF1 DNA binding ability and increasing HSP expression (Westerheide, Anckar et al. 2009). While an abundance of research is aimed to investigate SIRT1 substrate regulation, the mechanism in which SIRT1 itself is regulated is less understood (Haigis and Sinclair 2010). Positive and negative modulators of SIRT1 include AROS and DBC1, respectively, and have yet to be investigated in relation to SIRT1-dependent regulation of the HSR. In addition, metabolic stress such as caloric restriction has been shown to modulate SIRT1 activity in yeast (Rahat, Maoz et al. 2011), but the effect of caloric restriction on the HSR is unknown. Using cell-based assays, we have investigated how the HSR may be controlled by factors influencing SIRT1 activity. We found that heat shock results in an increase in the cellular NAD+/NADH ratio and an increase in recruitment of SIRT1 to the hsp70 promoter. Furthermore, we found that the SIRT1 modulators, AROS and DBC1, impact hsp70 transcription, HSF1 acetylation status, and HSF1 recruitment to the hsp70 promoter. The nematode Caenorhabditis elegans is a useful model organism for testing the relationship between the HSR and metabolism, as these animals can easily be calorically-restricted via bacterial limitation and possess the mammalian SIRT1 homolog, Sir2.1. Using C. elegans, we demonstrate that caloric restriction and heat shock have a synergistic effect on the HSR in a sir2.1-dependent manner. We show that caloric restriction increases the ability of heat shock to promote thermotolerance and fitness in wild-type animals and to preserve movement in a polyglutamine toxicity neurodegenerative disease model and that this effect is dependent on sir2.1. These studies provide insight into SIRT1-dependent regulation of the HSR and the impact of metabolism on this response. We highlight the SIRT1 modulators AROS and DBC1 as two new targets available for therapeutic regulation of the HSR and add caloric restriction as another HSR activator that can synergize with heat shock.

Muvuca is a seed sowing technique of various tree species succession of distinct stages, together with species of green manure, in order to restore a degraded area. In this seeding technique, there can be biological interaction exudates, seeds and seedlings adjunct, different species of which may be mutually benefit or impaired, as germination and early development. An attempt was made in this study to investigate the allelopathic potential of exudates of Cajanus cajan seeds and Bauhinia forficata on bioindicator species (Solanum lycopersicum - tomato); and the allelopathic effect of these same exudates on forest species (Bauhinia forficata and Parapiptadenia rigida). The experiment was conducted in the laboratory, and the treatments were: control; exudates of Phase I and II of the soaking curve of C. cajan seeds and B. forficata, who underwent pH testing, electrical conductivity and phytochemical screening. The bioindicator species subjected to treatment was evaluated for germination, early growth, antioxidant enzyme activity and lipid peroxidation. Forest species subjected to the treatments were evaluated for germination and early development. According to the electrical conductivity, a greater release of exudates of precursor species in phase II of soaking. All exudates showed allelochemicals in its composition. As for the allelopathic potential, it is concluded that the exudates of C. cajan seeds and B. forficata not adversely affect germination, early growth and antioxidant enzyme activity of bioindicator, on the contrary, benefited performance these variables evaluated tomato. As for the allelopathic effect, the exudate of phase I of soaking C. cajan, and phases I and II of the seeds of B. forficata stimulated shoot length P. rigida. However, the exudate of the soaking stage II seeds of C. cajan, negatively affected the germination and initial development B. forficata. And still retarded germination of P. rigida.

O experimento foi conduzido em laboratório, e os tratamentos foram: Testemunha; Exsudatos das Fases I e II da curva de embebição das sementes de C. cajan e B. forficata, que foram submetidos a testes de pH, condutividade elétrica e prospecção fitoquímica. A espécie bioindicadora submetida aos tratamentos foi avaliada quanto à germinação, desenvolvimento inicial, atividade enzimática antioxidante e peroxidação lipídica. As espécies florestais submetidas aos tratamentos foram avaliadas quanto à germinação e desenvolvimento inicial. Segundo a condutividade elétrica, houve maior liberação de exsudatos das espécies precursoras na fase II de embebição. Todos os exsudatos apresentaram aleloquímicos em sua composição. Quanto ao potencial alelopático, conclui-se, que os exsudatos das sementes de C. cajan e B. forficata não afetaram negativamente a germinação, desenvolvimento inicial e atividade enzimática antioxidante da planta bioindicadora, pelo contrário, beneficiou o desempenho das variáveis avaliadas do tomate. Quanto ao efeito alelopático, o exsudato da fase I de embebição de C. cajan, e das fases I e II das sementes de B. forficata estimularam o comprimento da parte aérea de P. rigida. Porém, o exsudato da fase II de embebição das sementes de C. cajan, influenciou negativamente a germinação e desenvolvimento inicial de B. forficata. E ainda retardou a germinação de P. rigida.

Abstract:

Tannine sind pflanzliche, polyphenolische Sekundärmetabolite mit Protein-präzipitierenden und –bindenden Kapazitäten, welche offenbar für die antinutritiven und gesundheitsschädlichen Wirkungen der Tannine verantwortlich sind. Jedoch dominieren in der Literatur die gesundheitsfördernden Beschreibungen, für die meist die antioxidative Kapazität verantwortlich gemacht wurde. Der etablierte Modelorganismus Caenorhabditis elegans wurde zur Analyse dieses Kontrastes ausgewählt. Zunächst wurden Lebensdauer und Stressresistenz der mit Tanninsäure und den Tanninbausteinen Gallussäure, Ellagsäure und Catechin behandelten Nematoden ermittelt. Das vermutete Vorliegen eines „Calorie Restriction“ (CR)-Effektes als auch einer hormetischen Dosis-Wirkungs-Beziehung wurde überprüft. Weiterhin wurden antimikrobielle und antioxidative Eigenschaften als potentielle Ursachen der Langlebigkeit untersucht und die Auswirkungen auf die Fitness und Genexpression analysiert. Die Einbeziehung verschiedener Alterungs-Theorien rundete die Analyse der Tanninwirkung ab. Alle Tannin-Substanzen konnten eine Lebensverlängerung erwirken, doch erstaunlicherweise erwiesen sich Langlebigkeit und Stressresistenz als individuelle, nicht zwangsläufig gekoppelte Parameter. Hormesis, CR-nachahmende Eigenschaften, antimikrobielle Kapazitäten als auch verschiedene stressrelevante Gene sind teilweise für die Lebensverlängerung verantwortlich. Die antioxidative Kapazität scheint jedoch irrelevant zu sein. Die differentielle Expression mehrerer hundert Gene durch Tanninsäure unterstreicht zudem die Komplexität der Wirkweise. Hinweise zur Bestätigung der „Disposable Soma Theory“, der „Mitohormesis“-Theorie und der „Green Theory of Ageing“ konnten zum Teil gefunden werden. Diese Arbeit zeigt die individuelle und kontrastreiche Wirksamkeit der Tannine auf. Sie unterstreicht, dass Tannine molekulare Regulatoren sind, welche nicht nur auf ihre antioxidative und antinutritive Kapazität reduziert werden sollten.
The polyphenolic tannins are plant-produced secondary metabolites with protein precipitating and binding capacities. This characteristic is seemingly responsible for antinutritional and harmful effects. However, health benefits have also been extensively described in the literature. Indeed, antioxidant properties are believed to be the reason for these beneficial effects. The established model organism Caenorhabditis elegans was chosen to examine this apparent contradiction. The nematodes were exposed to tannic acid and to the tannin building blocks gallic acid, ellagic acid, and catechin and the lifespan and stress resistance were determined. The presence of a calorie restriction (CR) effect and a hormetic dose-response-relationship was verified. Furthermore, antimicrobial and antioxidative capacities were assessed as possible causes of longevity and the impact on fitness parameters and gene expressions was analysed. The consideration of different ageing theories completed the analysis of the tannin action. All tannin-substances were able to prolong the lifespan but against all expectations, longevity and stress resistance were shown to be independent entities, which are not necessarily linked. Hormesis, CR-mimetic properties, antimicrobial capacities as well as several stress relevant genes are partly responsible for the life-extension. The antioxidant capacities, however, appeared to be irrelevant. The regulation of several hundred gene expressions by tannic acid underlined the complexity of the mode of action. Furthermore, the results partly confirm the “Disposable Soma Theory”, the “Mitohormesis Theory” and the “Green Theory of Ageing”. This work dissects the contrasting efficiency of the tannin family and underlines in particular, that tannins are molecular regulators, which should not be reduced to their antioxidative and antinutritional capacities

Phytoplankton cells are base of aquatic food webs, so supporting higher trophic levels and helping equilibrium maintenance in such ecosystems. As residues, nano-TiO2 particles reach aquatic environments where they pose risks to the biota. Literature is controversial about the toxicity of nanoparticles to phytoplankton in general and most data obtained so far has been based on nanoparticles concentrations well above those estimated to occur in natural aquatic environments. Because nanoparticles size vary according to its concentrations, and its toxicity and reactivity are largely dependent on its size, investigations of nanoparticles toxicity at environmentally relevant concentrations are important for the understanding of these compounds onto phytoplankton cells. On the contrary, investigations using higher concentrations can be meaningless. This study aimed at investigating the effects of titanium dioxide nanoparticles (nano-TiO2) at environmentally relevant concentrations (5.10-9 to 5.10- 6 mol L-1) on the freshwater Chlorophyceae Scenedesmus bijugus. We present data of a systematic investigation onto the effects of TiO2 nanoparticles to Scenedesmus bijugus focusing on its physiology under controlled laboratory conditions. We evaluated cell density, chlorophyll a concentrations, growth rates, photosynthetic quantum yield of PSII (continue...)
Células do fitoplâncton são a base de cadeias alimentares aquáticas, apoiando níveis tróficos superiores e ajudando na manutenção do equilíbrio desses ecossistemas. Na qualidade de resíduos, as nano-TiO2 alcançam os ambientes aquáticos onde podem impor riscos à biota. A literatura é controversa sobre a toxicidade de nanopartículas ao fitoplâncton e, em geral, a maioria dos dados têm sido obtidos com base em concentrações de nanopartículas superiores às estimadas para ambientes aquáticos naturais. Considerando que as nanopartículas variam de tamanho de acordo com sua concentração, em decorrência da formação de agregados e, que sua toxicidade e reatividade são dependentes de seu tamanho, investigações sobre a toxicidade desses materiais devem ser feitas empregando-se concentrações ambientalmente importantes, ou seja, aquelas que podem ser encontradas em ecossistemas naturais. Este estudo teve como objetivo investigar os efeitos das nanopartículas de dióxido de titânio (nano-TiO2) na clorofícea de água doce Scenedesmus bijugus em concentrações ambientalmente representativas. Nesta pesquisa, apresentamos dados de uma investigação sistemática sobre os efeitos de nano-TiO2 em amplitude de concentração de 5.10-9 a 5.10-6 mol L-1 em Scenedesmus bijugus, focando em sua fisiologia sob condições controladas de laboratório.

Abstract:

The benefits of low UV dose treatment of horticultural produce – also known as hormetic treatment - have been attested to in numerous studies conducted over the last 15 years. However, commercial growers have not adopted the concept of hormesis. With increasingly stringent controls on the use of fungicides and other chemical agents the time has come to examine how hormetic treatment might be applied in the horticulture sector. The objectives of this work were firstly, to confirm UV-induced hormetic effects applied postharvest for a number of different types of produce, namely, tomatoes, broccoli, strawberries and mangoes. Secondly, to evaluate the use of rollers to ensure full surface treatment of produce, and thirdly to evaluate the possibility of treating produce preharvest. In order to investigate surface UV dose distributions, a polystyrene sphere (Diameter 70 mm) was used to simulate fruits such as tomatoes, apples, peaches etc., that have an approximately spherical form. Biodosimetry based on spores of Bacillus subtilis was employed to experimentally determine UV doses and to compare the results obtained with theoretical predictions. Good agreement was obtained and the modelling approach was extended to other types of produce. This showed the amenability of mechanical rollers to ensure full surface treatment of produce. Postharvest treatment of produce was carried using conventional low intensity UV sources principally emitting at 254 nm and also a commercially available high energy pulsed UV source. Treatment using the conventional UV source was carried out on mechanical rollers within a UV cabinet designed for this work at a fixed distance from the source and at an intensity of 1000 μW/cm2. A 5 minute conventional UV treatment of tomatoes was approximately comparable to fruit given a 3-pulsed treatment using the pulsed source (507 J/pulse of polychromatic light). The colour and texture of both groups of fruit were significantly maintained as compared with controls. The treated tomatoes also showed a significant increase in the ascorbic acid levels during storage. Similarly, a 15 minute conventional UV treatment of broccoli heads was comparable to heads given a 10-pulsed treatment using the pulsed source. Where both treatments gave rise to a statistically significant retention of green colour of treated broccoli. In addition, mangoes given a 10 minute conventional UV treatment were comparable to fruit given a 20-pulsed treatment using the pulsed source with both treatments leading to maintenance of texture as compared to control fruit. This confirmed the UV-hormetic effects. The effects of conventional and pulsed treatments are compared and discussed. Preharvest treatment of tomatoes and strawberries was carried out in commercial glasshouses. Doses of either 3 or 8 kJ/m2 were delivered to the fruits using a treatment device designed for the work, which delivered a combined intensity of 2000 μW/cm2 from two low pressure UV sources. The treated tomatoes showed a delay in development of colour as measured on the vine and after picking. Picked tomatoes were inoculated with P. digitatum and C. gloeosporioides and the results obtained showed a significant inhibition of the development of the fungi in the treated fruit during the storage period. These results suggest that the beneficial response shown by the preharvest treatment is not a localised one but a systematically induced resistance observable throughout the treated plant. This was shown by monitoring tomato fruits on treated plants which themselves where not directly exposed to the UV light. The two doses elicited different responses in the treated strawberries, with the 8 kJ/m2 dose causing the fruit to redden significantly faster than the 3 kJ/m2 treated fruits and controls. This could have significant nutritional benefit as the red colour of strawberries has been correlated with anthocyanin levels. On the other hand, treatment at the lower UV dose led to a lag in colour development. The amenability of the equipment utilised for commercial application is discussed.

Abstract:

BACKGROUND:This paper proposes a novel model for homeopathic remedy action on living systems. Research indicates that homeopathic remedies (a) contain measurable source and silica nanoparticles heterogeneously dispersed in colloidal solution
(b) act by modulating biological function of the allostatic stress response network (c) evoke biphasic actions on living systems via organism-dependent adaptive and endogenously amplified effects
(d) improve systemic resilience.DISCUSSION:The proposed active components of homeopathic remedies are nanoparticles of source substance in water-based colloidal solution, not bulk-form drugs. Nanoparticles have unique biological and physico-chemical properties, including increased catalytic reactivity, protein and DNA adsorption, bioavailability, dose-sparing, electromagnetic, and quantum effects different from bulk-form materials. Trituration and/or liquid succussions during classical remedy preparation create "top-down" nanostructures. Plants can biosynthesize remedy-templated silica nanostructures. Nanoparticles stimulate hormesis, a beneficial low-dose adaptive response. Homeopathic remedies prescribed in low doses spaced intermittently over time act as biological signals that stimulate the organism's allostatic biological stress response network, evoking nonlinear modulatory, self-organizing change. Potential mechanisms include time-dependent sensitization (TDS), a type of adaptive plasticity/metaplasticity involving progressive amplification of host responses, which reverse direction and oscillate at physiological limits. To mobilize hormesis and TDS, the remedy must be appraised as a salient, but low level, novel threat, stressor, or homeostatic disruption for the whole organism. Silica nanoparticles adsorb remedy source and amplify effects. Properly-timed remedy dosing elicits disease-primed compensatory reversal in direction of maladaptive dynamics of the allostatic network, thus promoting resilience and recovery from disease.SUMMARY:Homeopathic remedies are proposed as source nanoparticles that mobilize hormesis and time-dependent sensitization via non-pharmacological effects on specific biological adaptive and amplification mechanisms. The nanoparticle nature of remedies would distinguish them from conventional bulk drugs in structure, morphology, and functional properties. Outcomes would depend upon the ability of the organism to respond to the remedy as a novel stressor or heterotypic biological threat, initiating reversals of cumulative, cross-adapted biological maladaptations underlying disease in the allostatic stress response network. Systemic resilience would improve. This model provides a foundation for theory-driven research on the role of nanomaterials in living systems, mechanisms of homeopathic remedy actions and translational uses in nanomedicine.

Durant leur cycle de vie, les insectes doivent faire face à différents perturbateurs pour réussir à survivre et à se reproduire.

Insects face a multitude of environmental stresses, which they have to bypass in order to survive and reproduce. The extensive use of neonicotinoid insecticides, because of their high efficiency, leads to the accumulation of residues in the environment, which can have an additive toxic effect on target insects. However, such residues can also have unwanted positive effects on certain life traits of pest insects. In my thesis I studied the effects of a neonicotinoid insecticide on the olfactory system of the pest insect Agrotis ipsilon. Our results show that acute oral treatments of males with low doses of clothianidin modify their behavioural responses to the sex pheromone: a treatment with 0.25 ng/moth (

O emprego de substâncias tóxicas as plantas, como o glyphosate, em doses muito menores que as recomendadas comercialmente pode ocasionar alterações em varáveis como crescimento, acúmulo de biomassa, altura, conteúdo de proteína e resistência a doenças. Desta forma, os objetivos deste trabalho foram realizar estudos para uma melhor compreensão das alterações bioquímicas, fisiológicas e fenológicas do arroz causadas por subdoses de glyphosate. O experimento 1 foi realizado à campo, na Fazenda Experimental Lageado, pertencente à Faculdade de Ciências Agronômicas, FCA/UNESP, Botucatu/SP, nos anos agrícolas de 2015/2016 e 2016/2017. O delineamento experimental utilizado foi o de blocos casualizados, arranjado em esquema fatorial 2x7, sendo o primeiro fator época de aplicação do glyphosate (V3 ou R1) e, o segundo, as doses do herbicida (0; 7,5; 15; 30; 60; 120 e 240 g e.a. ha-1), com quatro repetições. Foram avaliados a produtividade, o comprimento de panículas, número de perfilhos por m², peso de 1000 grãos, número de grãos por panícula, a fertilidade de espiguetas e o número de dias entre a aplicação e o início de cada fase fenológica. Os experimentos 2 e 3 foram realizados em casa de vegetação, no Núcleo de Pesquisas Avançadas em Matologia (NUPAM), pertecentente à Faculdade de Ciências Agronômicas, FCA/UNESP, Botucatu/SP. O experimento 2 seguiu delineamento inteiramente casualizado em esquema fatorial (7x3) com cinco repetições. Os tratamentos foram constituídos por sete doses do herbicida glyphosate (0; 7,5; 15; 30; 60; 120 e 240 g e.a. ha-1) aplicados no estádio V3, e 3 períodos de chuva após a aplicação (12, 24 horas e ausência). Foram avaliados o perfilhamento e o acúmulo de massa das plantas. O experimento 3 foi arranjado em delineamento inteiramente casualizado em esquema fatorial (7x3) com quatro repetições. Os tratamentos foram constituídos por dez doses do herbicida glyphosate (0; 1,5; 3; 6; 12; 24; 36; 72; 180 e 360 g e.a. ha-1), aplicadas quando as plantas se encontravam em estádio V4, e três regimes de fornecimento de água (fornecimento contínuo, RH1 e RH2). Foram avaliados o consumo de água diário, o perfilhamento e o acúmulo de massa das plantas. A aplicação de subdoses de glyphosate em condições de campo não influenciou a produtividade e os componentes de produtividade das plantas de arroz até a dose de 60 g e.a. ha-1 de glyphosate quando a aplicação ocorreu em V3, e até 30 g e.a. ha-1 de glyphosate quando a aplicação ocorreu em R1. A partir destas doses, houve severo efeito de intoxicação da cultura. Observou-se que os diferentes períodos de chuva após a aplicação de subdoses de glyphosate não interferiram na resposta das plantas de arroz aos tratamentos. Não foi observado efeito hormético para acúmulo de biomassa e consumo de água em casa de vegetação. A aplicação de doses entre 30 e 240 g e.a. ha-1 de glyphosate proporcionou incremento do perfilhamento das plantas de arroz em todos os estudos realizados, sendo a dose que causou incremento dependente das condições de condução do estudo.
The use of toxic substances in plants, such as glyphosate, in doses much smaller than those recommended commercially can cause changes in variables such as growth, biomass accumulation, height, protein content and resistance to diseases. In this way, the objectives of this work were to carry out studies for a better understanding of the biochemical, physiological and phenological alterations of the paddy rice caused by glyphosate subdoses. Experiment 1 was carried out at the Experimental Farm Lageado, belonging to the College of Agronomic Sciences, FCA / UNESP, in Botucatu, Sao Paulo, in the agricultural years of 2015/2016 and 2016/2017. The experimental design was a randomized block arranged in a 2x7 factorial scheme, with the first factor being the glyphosate application time (V3 or R1) and the second herbicide dose (0, 7.5, 15, 30, 60, 120 and 240 g a.e. ha-1), with four replications. The productivity, panicle length, number of tillers per m², weight of 1000 grains, number of grains per panicle, spikelet fertility and the number of days between the application and the beginning of each phenological phase were evaluated. Experiments 2 and 3 were carried out in a greenhouse at the Weed Science Advanced Research Center (NUPAM), belonging to the Faculty of Agronomic Sciences, FCA / UNESP, in Botucatu, Sao Paulo. Experiment 2 was in a completely randomized design in a factorial scheme (7x3) with five replications. The factor one was doses of the herbicide glyphosate (0, 7.5, 15, 30, 60, 120 and 240 g a.e. ha-1) applied in the V3 and factor two was rainy periods after application (12, 24 hours and without rain). The tillering and mass accumulation of plants were evaluated. Experiment 3 was arranged in a completely randomized design in a factorial scheme (7x3) with four replications. The factor one consisted of ten doses of the herbicide glyphosate (0, 1.5, 3, 6, 12, 24, 36, 72, 180 and 360 g a.e. ha-1) applied when plants were in the V4 stage, and factor two was 3 water supply schemes (no stress, RH1 and RH2). Daily water consumption, tillering and plant mass accumulation were evaluated. The application of glyphosate subdoses under field conditions did not influence yield, productivity components or phenology of paddy rice plants up to the 60 g a.e. ha-1 of glyphosate when the application occurred in V3 and up to 30 g a.e. ha-1 of glyphosate when application occurred at R1. From these doses, there was a severe effect of intoxication of the culture. It was observed that different rainy periods after application of glyphosate subdoses did not interfere in the response of paddy rice plants to the treatments. At greenhouse conditions, no hormesis effect was observed for biomass accumulation and water consumption. The application of doses from 30 to 240 g a.e. ha-1 of glyphosate increased the tillering of paddy rice plants in all the studies carried out, being the dose that caused increment dependent of the conditions of conduction of each study.

Abstract:

En Europe, le nombre de cancers est en constante augmentation et explique l’augmentation des traitements. Les bases de ces traitements sont la chimiothérapie et la radiothérapie, seules ou en association. Les chimiothérapies sont effectuées à l’aide de médicaments anticancéreux qui ont des propriétés toxiques pour les cellules. Après administration des traitements aux patients, les médicaments sont excrétés et se concentrent dans les effluents hospitaliers et les réseaux d’égouts. Bien que beaucoup de ces composés soient éliminés dans les stations d’épuration, certains sont difficilement biodégradables et sont directement rejetées dans le milieu naturel où ils représentent un risque toxique pour la flore, la faune et l’Homme. Bien que les concentrations soient faibles (ng/L - μg/L), très peu de données sont disponibles sur leurs impacts écotoxicologiques. Leur présence dans l’environnement est d’autant plus préoccupante que les produits de métabolisation sont souvent plus toxiques que la substance d’origine. L’objectif de la thèse a été d’évaluer le risque (éco)toxicologique induit par de faibles doses de médicaments rejetés seuls ou en mélanges dans les effluents hospitaliers, urbains et dans l’environnement. De par leur utilisation courante dans les traitements anticancéreux, trois molécules ont été sélectionnées pour notre étude : la ciprofloxacine (antibiotique), le tamoxifène (perturbateur endocrinien), et le cyclophosphamide (anticancéreux). Des gammes de concentrations représentatives des effluents hospitaliers, station d’épuration et de l’environnement ont été testées à l’aide de bioessais appliqués à des organismes aquatiques (V. fischeri, P. subcapitata, L. minor) et de biomarqueurs appliqués à une levure (S. cerevisiae) et des cellules humaines hépatiques et mammaires. La viabilité cellulaire (test MTS) et la génotoxicité (cassures à l’ADN et adduit à l’ADN) ont été comparés aux tests standardisés Microtox ®, Algaltoxkit F™, ainsi que d’inhibition de croissance de Lemna minor. Le potentiel perturbateur endocrinien a été évalué en parallèle à l’aide du test YES/YAS. Cette batterie de tests a ensuite été appliquée a des effluents bruts (hospitaliers, station d’épuration) pour en évaluer le potentiel (géno)toxique. Des échantillons à proximité de l’hôpital de Gérone (Espagne) ont été prélevés en sortie de l’hôpital, en entrée et en sortie de station d’épuration, pendant trois mois consécutifs. Plusieurs effets de toxicité ont été observés sur les modèles d’étude, comme notamment l’apparition de phénomènes d’hormèses sur la viabilité des cellules hépatiques exposée au tamoxifène et à la ciprofloxacine, seuls ou en mélange. Le même schéma est observé pour les mélanges avec le test Microtox®. D’autre part, l’exposition respective des cellules hépatiques et mammaires aux médicaments n’entraîne pas de cassures de l’ADN et entraine l’apparition d’adduits seulement avec le tamoxifène, alors qu’on note une augmentation dose-dépendant des cassures et des adduits à l’ADN après exposition aux mélanges. De même, une réponse positive est observée avec le test Algaltox F™. Concernant les effluents, les effets dépendent à la fois du type d’organisme et du temps d’exposition. Les tests Microtox®, Algaltox F™ et le post-marquage des adduits à l’ADN sont apparus être les pertinents pour l’analyse. Les interactions observées entre les composés mettent en avant la nécessité d’évaluer les effets des contaminants à petites doses en mélanges, à plusieurs temps d’exposition et avec différents tests. L’application d’une telle batterie de tests à des échantillons environnementaux permet de qualifier les effluents et de suivre l’efficacité de moyens d’épuration. A terme, son application pourrait permettre de mieux appréhender les risques (éco)toxiques associés aux rejets de médicaments dans l’environnement et pouvant être à l’origine de cancer secondaire chez l’Homme
In Europe, cancers rate is constantly raising, which explain the increase in treatments. They are usually chemotherapy and radiotherapy, alone or combine. Chemotherapy is done with anticancer drugs with toxic characteristics on cells. After administer the treatments to the patients, some of the drugs are excreted in significant proportion and released in hospital and communal effluents. Even though a lot of the compounds are either removed by adsorption or bio-degradation in waste water treatment plant (WWTP), some of their are not are directly released in the environment and represent a toxic risk for aquatic organisms and the Human health. Despite low concentrations (ng/L-μg/L), few data are available about the ecotoxicological impact. The importance of chemical compounds pollutants, especially anticancer drugs, are a real concern because the metabolites of the chemicals are even more toxic than the original substance. The aim of the thesis is to develop a battery based approach to evaluate the risks induct by low doses of drugs released independently or in mixture, in hospital waste water. Because of their common use in anticancer treatment procedures, three molecules have been chosen for our study: ciprofloxacin (antibiotic), tamoxifen (endocrine disruptor), cyclophosphamide (anticancer). Concentrations were range from hospital sewers and WWTP to the environment have been tested with a battery base approach using standardized bioassays applied on aquatic organisms (V fischeri, S. subcapitata, L. minor) and biomarker applied on yeast (S. cerevisia), hepatic and mammary human cell lines. Cell viability (test MTS) and genotoxicity (DNA breaks, DNA adducts) were compared with the standardized bioassays Microtox®, Algaltoxkit F™, and Lemna minor growth inhibition. In parallel, the endocrine disruptor activity was estimated the YES/YAS assay. The battery assay was then applied to evaluate the (geno)toxicity of raw effluents (hospital, wastewater-treatment plant). Samples from the hospital of Girona (Spain) were taken got out of it from the hospital, in entrance and got out of it from water-treatment plant, during three consecutive months. Several toxic effects have been observed during this work on aquatic organisms and both human cell lines. Results show especially hormetic effect on viability of hepatic cell line exposed to ciprofloxacin and tamoxifen alone or in mixture. Same results were observed the Microtox assays after mixtures exposures. On the other hand, the individually hepatic and mammary cell exposure to the drugs doesn’t induce DNA break, and induce DNA adduct only with the tamoxifen. Furthermore, we observe a dose-dependent increasing of the DNA break and adduct if the cells are exposed in mixture. Same results were observed with Algaltox F™. Concerning the effluents, effects depending on the kind of organisms and time exposure. The Microtox ®, Algaltox F ™ and the DNA adducts post-labelling appeared to be the most relevant for the analysis. The interactions observed between drugs pinpoint the necessity to assess the effect of contaminants in low doses mixtures, at many exposure times, and using different tools. The application of this battery with environmental raw samples is in use to rank outflows toxicity and follow the WWTP efficiency, which could lead to a better understanding of the human health risks

Abstract:

Diese Dissertation ist ein Beitrag zum Forschungsfeld der Stressökologie, im Spe-ziellen der Verhaltensökotoxikologie. Das spontane lokomotorische Verhalten der Fischarten Danio rerio und Leucaspius delineatus wurde unter sublethaler Expo-sition mit dem Cyanobakterientoxin Microcystin-LR (MC-LR) und dem Xenobio-tikums 2.4.4`-Trichlorobiphenyl (PCB 28) quantifiziert. Die Schwimmgeschwin-digkeit und Anzahl der Wendungen wurden kontinuierlich mit einem automati-schen Video-Monitoringsystem unter Laborbedingungen aufgezeichnet. In Hin-blick auf zyklische Aspekte wurden die Verhaltensanalysen mit chronobiologi-schen Methoden kombiniert. Hiermit wurde gezeigt, dass MC-LR und PCB 28 zu signifikanten Effekten in Verhalten und Aktivitätsrhythmik beider Fischarten führten. Höhere Konzentrati-onen beider Untersuchungssubstanzen verursachten eine deutliche Aktivitätsredu-zierung bei Danio rerio und Leucaspius delineatus. Einige der festgestellten Do-sis-Wirkungsbeziehungen entsprechen der Hormesistheorie, z. B. war bei geringe-ren MC-LR Konzentrationen ein Aktivitätsanstieg und bei höheren ein Aktivitäts-abfall beider Fischarten zu verzeichnen. Die Exposition mit MC-LR und PCB 28 verringerte bei beiden Testfischarten die Synchronisation der Aktivität mit dem Zeitgeber Licht. Dies führte bei beiden Fischarten zu einer Phasenverschiebung. Bei Leucaspius delineatus war unter dem Einfluss von MC-LR eine Phasenumkehr zu verzeichnen, die Fische wechselten von Tag- zu Nachtaktivität. Die Cosinor Analyse zeigte Dosis abhängige Veränderungen der circadianen Rhythmen der Schwimmaktivität (z.B. MESOR, Akrophase) unter Einfluss von MC-LR und PCB 28 an. Die Power Spektral Analyse indizierte für beide Fischar-ten unter Einwirkung von MC-LR and PCB 28 eine reduzierte Dominanz des cir-cadianen Rhythmuspeaks. Da die registrierten Unterschiede in der Reaktion beider Fischarten auf MC-LR und PCB 28 eher gering waren, sind Ergebnisse der Art Danio rerio, die häufig in Toxizitätstests verwendet wird, mit denen der einheimischen Art Leucaspius deli-neatus vergleichbar. Die Ergebnisse belegen, dass Verhaltensuntersuchungen in Kombination mit chronobiologischen Auswertemethoden eine sensitive und zuverlässige Abschät-zung des Gefährdungspotentials von Substanzen sowohl auf dem Gebiet der Öko-toxikologie als auch für Biomonitoring ermöglichen.
This thesis contributes to the field of stress ecology specifically behavioural ecotoxicology. The spontaneous locomotor behavior of two fish species Danio re-rio and Leucaspius delineatus was recorded and quantified continuously under sublethal exposure to the cyanotoxin microcystin-LR (MC-LR) and the xenobioti-cum 2.4.4`-trichlorobiphenyl (PCB 28). By using an automated video-monitoring system, the swimming velocity and the number of turns were assessed under labo-ratory conditions. For analysing cyclic aspects basic behavioural analyses were combined with chronobiological procedures as cosinor analysis and power spec-tral analysis. Both MC-LR and PCB 28 acted as stressors and caused significant changes in the behaviour and circadian activity rhythms of Danio rerio as well as Leucaspius de-lineatus. So for both species elevated concentrations of the stressors led to a re-duction of their activity. Some dose-responses correspond to the hormesis theory, e.g., there was an increase of daytime activity at lower MC-LR concentrations and a decrease at elevated concentrations of MC-LR for both species. A degree of desynchronisation of activity to the zeitgeber light, which led to a phase shift was caused by the chemicals in both fish species. In Leucaspius de-lineatus this shift was so drastic that this species reversed their significant diurnal activity and became nocturnal under the influence of MC-LR. The Cosinor analysis revealed MC-LR- and PCB 28-induced, dose-dependent al-terations of the circadian rhythms of activity (e.g., MESOR, acrophase). The power spectral analysis showed that the dominance of the circadian rhythmic peak (of 24 h) was reduced under MC-LR and PCB 28 for both species. Since the observed differences in the reactions of both species to MC-LR and PCB 28 were rather small, the results of the species Danio rerio which is widely used for environmental risk assessment tests, are comparable to those of the native European species Leucaspius delineatus. The findings of this study proved that the basic behavioural analyses combined with chronobiological procedures could be valuable tools for the study of stressful or even harmful environmental factors in the field of ecotoxicology as well as for biomonitoring.
