Abstract:
In this study, Caper plant were collected from Al-Jabal Al-Akhdar region (Libya) during the spring season (2023), the leaves and stems of the plant were separated and dried in the open air. The contents of minerals and metals (Na, K, Ca, Fe and Ni) were determined. The strength of antioxidants was determined using the Prussian blue method. Also, phenol compounds were estimated by the Folin Ciacalteu Method. The results showed that the metal values were showed higher contents in the leaves comparing with their contents in the stems, where a relative increase was found in the leaves of capers with a value of (1.83 ppm) compared to its value in the stems (0.94 ppm), the phenol contents were recorded in leaves (0.530 ppm), and stems (0.362 ppm). The anti-bacterial activity using different concentrations of the plant extract concentrations of (25,50,75 and100%) on two types of bacteria (Bacilli and Escherichia Coli) was applied for the extracts. The results showed that the inhibition zone of the leave extracts was recorded in all concentrations of Bacilli, in the stems the high inhibitaion zone were observed for concentrations (75%, &100%). The leaves and stems extract didn't showed any effect on Escherichia coli except for high concentrations of leaves (100%).

Abstract:
Although Vaccinium virgatum Aiton leaves and stems inhibit adult T-cell leukemia (ATL) cells, leaves and stems can differ between individual plants and by time and location. In this study, leaf and stem components were profiled in the same individual plant using direct-injection electron ionization-mass spectrometry (DI-EI-MS) metabolomics, with the aims of analyzing the anti-ATL activity, and quantifying proanthocyanidins (PACs). Leaves, stems, and leaf/stem mixtures showed distinct and characteristic spectra. Anti-ATL activity was stronger in stems than leaves, and the PAC content was higher in stems than leaves. These data were subjected to bivariate analysis to identify the factor (m/z) responsible for the inhibitory effect of ATL based on the highest coefficient of determination (R2). The results of this DI-EI-MS metabolomics analysis suggest that among PACs contained in V. virgatum stems and leaves, the fragment ion at m/z 149 contributes significantly to anti-ATL activity.

Abstract:
The chemical compositions of the essential oils obtained by hydrodistillation of three Piper plants grown in Vietnam are reported. The analysis was achieved by means of gas chromatography with flame ionization detection (GC-FID) and gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The main constituents of the leaf oil of Piper majusculum Blume were β-caryophyllene (20.7%), germacrene D (18.6%) and β-elemene (11.3%). The quantitatively significant compounds of the volatile oils of P. harmandii C. DC were sabinene (leaves, 14.5%; stems, 16.2%), benzyl benzoate (leaves, 20.0%; stems, 29.40%) and benzyl salicylate (leaves, 14.1%; stems, 24.3%). Also, α-cadinol (17.0%) was identified in large proportion in the leaf oil. However, sabinene (leaves, 17.9%; stems, 13.5%), benzyl benzoate (leaves, 20.5%; stems, 32.5%) and β-eudesmol (leaves, 13.8%; stems, 8.4%) were the main constituents of P. brevicaule C. DC. This is the first report on the volatile constituents of both P. harmandii and P. brevicaule.

Abstract:

Tulbaghia violacea Harv. (wild garlic) has been used in traditional medicine in Southern Africa for the treatment of various ailments. Despite the widespread use and popularity of this medicinal plant as a herbal medicine, there is contradictory evidence regarding the safety and toxicity of the plant. The phytochemical profiling of the plant has also been neglected in research. The determination of chemical constituents present in plant material as well as the potential toxicity found in plants are preliminary steps necessary for the discovery and development of novel therapeutic agents with improved efficacy. The aim of this study was to evaluate the cytotoxic and genotoxic potential of crude extracts from the leaves, stems and roots of T. violacea. This was performed in vitro using aqueous and ethanol extracts of the leaves, stems and roots. The aim of the study was achieved by three major objectives; (1) to identify the active phytocompounds present in the leaves, stems and roots, (2) to assess the cytotoxicity using the MTT (3-(4, 5-dimethylthiazolyl-2)-2, 5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide) cell proliferation assay, and (3) to evaluate the genotoxic potential of the leaf, stem and root water extracts using the Allium cepa assay. A total of 14 phytochemicals were each extracted separately with distilled water and 70% ethanol by maceration from the leaves, stem and roots of T. violacea. The results of the qualitative phytochemical analysis showed that pharmacologically active compounds such as tannins, terpenoids, flavonoids, saponins, proteins, steroids, cardiac glycosides, phenols and coumarins were present in some organs of T. violacea. However, phlobatannins, leucoanthocyanins, alkaloids, carbohydrates and anthocyanins were absent in all plant parts. Overall, the leaves of the plant contained more active compounds than those present in the stems and roots when both water and 70% ethanol were used as the extractants. The quantitative phytochemical analysis for the Total Flavonoids Content (TFC) and Total Phenolic Contents (TPC) was also assessed. The water (0.027 mg/g) and 70% ethanol (0.053 mg/g) were most effective in extracting flavonoids from the leaves while the least amounts were obtained from the stems and roots. This observation was similar to the TFC were the water extracts of the leaves were the most effective in extracting phenols followed by the stems and roots. The MTT assay was conducted using two cell lines RAW 264.7 and C2C12. The experiment was conducted in triplicates for the leaf, stem and root extracts (water and ethanol) of T. violacea. The experimental design employed a 23 factorial design where three independent variables (concentration, incubation time and type of extracts) were selected using two levels for each variable (high (+) and low (-)). The results illustrated that both the water and ethanol vi extracts only showed a significant reduction in the number of viable cells at the concentration higher than 250 μg/ml treatment for both RAW 264.7 and C2C12 cells. The ethanol extracts from the leaves, stems and roots were found to be toxic towards the RAW 264.7 cells even at lower concentrations at both 24 and 48 h incubation periods (% cell viability < 50%). The water extracts were non-toxic to RAW 264.7 cells except for the water stem extract which showed toxicity after 48 h incubation (IC50 = 9.475 (4.061 to 23.39)). For the C2C12 cells, the lowest potent toxic concentration was 250 μg/ml for the ethanol extract of the stem after 48 h incubation. Overall, the T. violacea plant extracts were non-toxic as percentage cell viability greater than 50% was noted for both extraction solvents in all the plant parts of T. violacea. No cytotoxic activity was observed in all T. violacea plant parts with the C2C12 cell line (IC50 > 30 μg/ml). For the Allium cepa assay, only the water crude extracts of the leaves, stems and roots of T. violacea were used. A similar trend of potent genotoxic activity in the water stem extracts compared to the leaf and root extracts at the concentration ranges studied. Similar to the MTT assay, it is clear from the study that at higher concentrations, the water crude extracts from the leaves, stems and roots of T. violacea is toxic. From this study, it can be concluded that the extraction of compounds using water is more efficient than using ethanol. Overall, the T. violacea leaf extracts extracted the most phytocompounds and showed the highest percentage of viable cells as well as desirable IC50 values. However, preparation of herbal remedies using T. violacea plant extracts should be done with caution due to their possible genotoxic and cytotoxic potential at higher concentrations. This study raises a need to further conduct in vivo cytogenetic studies to ascertain the possible toxic effects of T. violacea crude extracts.

Abstract:
La myrtille et l’airelle rouge, deux arbrisseaux de la famille des Ericacées, sont consommées comme des aliments, boissons et suppléments alimentaires pour leur valeur nutritionnelle et leur richesse en polyphénols antioxydants. Dans les plantes, la qualité et la quantité de composés phénoliques sont influencées par les parties morphologiques de la plante à utiliser. En particulier, les composés phénoliques des végétaux exercent leur activité antioxydante dans la protection des lipides alimentaires et le compartiment gastrique a été proposé comme le site majeur pour le stress oxydatif lié au régime alimentaire. L’objectif général de cette thèse était d’étudier les variations saisonnières des composés phénoliques d’extraits de feuilles, branches et fruits de la myrtille et de l’airelle rouge ainsi que l’activité antioxydante de ces extraits. Pour cette étude, des extraits aqueux et hydroéthanoliques (fruits uniquement) des échantillons collectés en mai, juillet et septembre pendant les années 2013-2014 ont été obtenus par extraction assistée par microondes.Les analyses qualitatives et quantitatives par UPLC / MS des extraits de la myrtille ont montré la présence de dérivés de l’acide caféique et de l’acide p-coumarique et des glycosides de flavonols dans les feuilles tandis que des oligomères de flavanols étaient aussi présents dans les branches, et ce dans des quantités élevées. La thioacidolyse a révélé de faibles degrés de polymérisation (2-4) et l’(-)-épicatéchine comme unité principale des flavan-3-ols. Il existe une très bonne corrélation entre la Somme des Composés phénoliques par UPLC et la Teneur en Polyphenols Totaux ou l’activité antioxydante dans le test DPPH, excepté pour les feuilles du mois de mai. Ces dernières sont relativement riches en dérives de l’acide p-coumarique. Les effets de la saison apparaissent plus marqués pour les feuilles qui présentent une plus grande activité antioxydante et teneur en polyphénols en juillet et septembre. Ces paramètres sont optimaux en juillet pour les branches de myrtille. La période de de cueillette peut être définie en fonction des structures phénoliques désirées.Dans l’airelle rouge, la présence prédominante de monomères et oligomères de flavanols et de glycosides de quercétine a été identifiée dans toutes les parties morphologiques. Les proanthocyanidines contiennent la (+)-catéchine et la (-)-épicatéchine comme unités d'extension et terminale. De plus, la teneur en polyphénols totaux (méthode de Folin, UPLC) a montré une augmentation légère mais significative de mai à septembre pour les feuilles et les branches. Cette augmentation a été confirmée pour l'activité antioxydante dans le test DPPH pour les feuilles et les branches en 2014.L’activité antioxydante des extraits de myrtille et d’airelle rouge lors de l’inhibition de l’oxydation lipidique (accumulation de diènes conjugués) a été évaluée dans des conditions in vitro simulant la digestion. Tout d'abord, l'inhibition de l’oxydation lipidique a été conduite sur des émulsions huile de tournesol-dans-eau stabilisées par la sérum albumine bovine (BSA) ou des phospholipides d’œuf (PL), qui simulent l’état physique des lipides alimentaires lors de la digestion gastrique. L’oxydation a été initiée par la metmyoglobine, une forme de fer apportée par la viande rouge. Dans les deux modèles d’émulsions, les extraits aqueux des branches et des feuilles et l’extrait hydroethanolique de fruit de myrtille sont des inhibiteurs plus efficaces de l'oxydation lipidique durant la première phase de digestion (pH 5) que durant la seconde phase (pH 3). D’autre part, un extrait de feuilles de myrtille a été testé dans un modèle complet de digestion in vitro statique (étapes orale, gastrique et intestinale). L'oxydation lipidique, rapide lors de la l’étape gastrique (systèmes BSA et PL) et puis plus lente lors de l'étape intestinale (système PL), a été totalement inhibée par l'extrait de feuilles de myrtille
Bilberry and lingonberry, two shrubs of the Ericaceae family, are consumed as food, beverage and dietary supplements due to their nutritional value and richness in antioxidant polyphenols. In plants, the quality and quantity of phenolic compounds are influenced by the parts of the plant to be used. In particular, plant phenolic compounds provide antioxidant activity in the protection of dietary lipids from oxidation and the gastric compartment has been proposed as a major site for diet-related oxidative stress. The aim of this thesis is to simultaneously assess the seasonal variations of phenolic compounds in leaves, stems, and fruits of bilberry and lingonberry extracts, as well as their antioxidant activity. For this study, aqueous and hydroethanolic (only fruits) extracts of bilberry and lingonberry samples collected in May, July and September during the years 2013-2014 were obtained under microwave-assisted extraction.In bilberry extracts, qualitative and quantitative analyses by UPLC/MS showed the presence of caffeoyl derivatives, p-coumaroyl derivatives, and flavonol glycosides in leaves whereas in stems, flavanol oligomers were additionally identified in significant amounts. Thioacidolysis revealed low degrees of polymerization (2-4) and (-)-epicatechin as the main flavan-3-ol unit. The sum of the phenolic compounds by UPLC was highly correlated with the Total Polyphenol Content and the antioxidant activity in the DPPH test for all the extracts except those of May leaves. The latter were relatively richer in p-coumaric acid derivatives. Seasonal effects were more marked for leaves which exhibited higher antioxidant activities and phenolic contents in July and September when these parameters were maximum in July for bilberry stems. The harvest period can be refined based on the desired phenolic structures. For lingonberry, the predominant presence of monomers and oligomers of flavanols and quercetin glycosides was found in all the morphological parts. Proanthocyanidins contain (+)-catechin and (-)-epicatechin as both extension and terminal units. The sum of the phenolic compounds by UPLC was less correlated with the Total Polyphenol Content and the antioxidant activity in the DPPH test than in bilberry. Furthermore, the total phenolic content (Folin method, UPLC) showed a slight but significant increase from May to September for both leaves and stems. This increase was confirmed for the antioxidant activity by the DPPH test for both leaves and stems in 2014.The antioxidant activity of bilberry and lingonberry extracts against lipid oxidation (formation of lipid-derived conjugated dienes) was evaluated under in vitro simulated digestion conditions. Firstly, the inhibition of lipid oxidation was performed using sunflower oil-in-water emulsions stabilized by bovine serum albumin (BSA) or egg yolk phospholipids (PL), both emulsifiers mimicking dietary components. Oxidation was initiated by metmyoglobin, a form of dietary iron from red meat. In both emulsion models, aqueous extracts from stems and leaves and the hydroethanolic fruit extract of bilberry proved to be more efficient inhibitors of lipid oxidation in the early phase of digestion (pH 5) than during the second phase (pH 3). Secondly, a bilberry leaf extract was tested in the inhibition of lipid oxidation in a complete static in vitro digestion model (oral, gastric and intestinal phases). The fast lipid oxidation in the gastric step (BSA and PL systems) and the slower lipid oxidation in the intestinal step (PL system) were totally inhibited by the bilberry leaf extract

Abstract:
Le basilic Ocimum basilicum L est une plante herbacée, aromatique et alimentaire, il est utilisé sous forme fraiche ou bien transformé dans certaines préparations culinaires, ainsi que dans la médecine traditionnelle. Les différentes parties de cette plante présentent des propriétés biologiques très importantes pour la santé humaine grâce à leur richesse en composés bioactifs. L’objectif de ce travail est basé sur la caractérisation différentielles entre les tiges et les feuilles d’Ocimum basilicum sur le profil phytochimique et l’évaluation de leurs propriétés antioxydantes, anti-inflammatoires et antispasmodiques. Les extraits de basilic ont présenté des profils phytochimique différents, et l’évaluation de leurs effets antioxydants par le test DPPH et ORAC ont montré que les extraits éthanoliques ont une activité plus importante en comparaison avec les extraits aqueux. L’étude des effets anti-inflammatoires des extraits éthanoliques de tiges et de feuilles de basilic in vitro dans un modèle cellulaire de macrophages J774 stimulés par le LPS/IFNγ a montré que les deux extraits ont un effet inhibiteur sur la production des médiateurs inflammatoires (oxide nitrique, interlukine-6, prostaglandine E2, monocyte chemoattractante protein-1). Par contre ces extraits ont augmenté la production de la cytokine pro-inflammatoire TNFα (Facteur de nécrose tumorale alpha). Par la suite les extraits aqueux ont montré un effet relaxant sur le muscle lisse intestinal de rat. Les résultats de cette étude ont indiqué que les deux parties de basilic feuilles et tiges ont des effets biologiques intéressants qui peuvent être valorisés sur le plan nutrition- santé
Basil Ocimum basilicum L is an herbaceous, aromatic, and food crop, which is used fresh or processed in some culinary preparations, thus in traditional medicine. The different parts of this plant present very important biological properties for human health due to their richness in bioactive compounds. The objective of this work is based on the differential characterization of the phytochemical profile of the stems and leaves of Ocimum basilicum and the evaluation of its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antispasmodic properties. The basil extracts showed different phytochemical profiles, and the evaluation of these antioxidant effects by DPPH and ORAC assay showed that the ethanolic extracts had a higher activity compared to the aqueous extracts. The study of the anti-inflammatory effects of ethanolic extracts of basil stems and leaves in vitro in a macrophage J774 cell model stimulated by LPS/IFNγ showed that both extracts had an inhibitory effect on the production of inflammatory mediators (nitric oxide, interlukin-6, prostaglandin E2, Monocyte chemoattractant protein-1), but increased the production of the pro-inflammatory cytokine TNFα (Tumour necrosis factor-alpha). Subsequently, the aqueous extracts showed a relaxing effect on rat intestinal smooth muscle. The results of this study indicated that both parts of basil leaves and stems have interesting biological effects that can be valorized in terms of nutrition and health

Abstract:
L’intégration des fibres naturelles cellulosiques de plantes annuelles ou de résidus agricoles ou agro-industriels dans l’élaboration de matériaux de structures composites et le développement de nouveaux liants biosourcés sont aujourd’hui un domaine de recherche d’intérêt croissant. La thèse s'est déroulée dans le cadre du programme « Eco-panneaux », dont les deux objectifs principaux furent tout d'abord de valoriser les fibres végétales d’origine tunisienne comme l’alfa, le jonc et les folioles de palme et ensuite d'évaluer le potentiel d'espèces végétales tunisiennes dont les écorces sont riches en tannins (fruit de grenade, racines du sumac et tronc de pin d’Alep). Les études de caractérisation des fibres ont montré que leurs masses volumiques sont inférieures à 1. Le calcul du point de saturation des fibres (FSP) montre des valeurs majoritairement comprises entre 60 et 100 %. Nous avons également pu caractériser la cinétique d'imprégnation d'eau pour chacune des fibres. L’imprégnation se stabilise après 24 h d’immersion. Riches en minéraux (concentrations supérieures à 1 %), les fibres ont montré des teneurs en cellulose, en lignines et en hémicellulose comparables à celles généralement rencontrées avec les fibres de bois. L’analyse thermogravimétrique (ATG) a permis de constater que les matrices végétales étudiées sont thermiquement stables pour des températures inférieures à 200°C. Le dosage colorimétrique pour étudier la composition en polyphénols des matrices tannifères, l’analyse infrarouge et l’étude structurale de l’extrait des tanins, ainsi que le calcul du « Stiasny number » , montrent la forte teneur de l’écorce de grenade en tanins hydrolysables et la richesse des écorces du tronc de pin d’Alep et des racines du sumac en tanins condensés. L’étude des propriétés thermiques des extraits de tanins par ATG montre que les tanins de pin d’Alep et du sumac sont thermiquement plus stables que ceux de la grenade. La colle formulée à partir d’hexamine et de tanins de pin d’Alep présente un module d’élasticité élevé. Alors que la colle à base de tanins de grenade forme le réseau le moins dense. Ces résultats ont été confirmés par l’étude de la résistance au cisaillement. L'étude réalisée sur les composites fibres-plâtre (mise en œuvre et caractérisation physico mécanique des composites) a montré que les fibres locales pourraient constituer une alternative aux fibres d'importation utilisées actuellement. Une première caractérisation de la conductivité thermique des panneaux isolants élaborés à partir des fibres locales et de colles de tanins montre une conductivité thermique moyenne de 0,106w/K.m
The integration of natural cellulosic fibers from annual plants and agricultural residues and agro-industrial materials in the development of composite structures and the development of new bio-based adhesives, are now a research field with growing interest. The thesis was conducted within the framework of "Eco-panels" program, which its two main objectives were firstly, to enhance plant fibers of Tunisian origin as alfa, rush and palm leaflets and then to evaluate the potential of Tunisian plant species whose bark is rich in tannins (pomegranate fruit, sumac roots and Aleppo pine trunk). The characterization studies of fibers showed that their densities are less than 1. The calculation of the fiber saturation point (FSP) shows values mostly between 60 and 100 %. We were also able to characterize the impregnation kinetics of water for each of these fibers. The impregnation stabilizes after 24 h of immersion. Rich in minerals (concentrations greater than 1 %), the fibers showed levels of cellulose, lignin and hemicellulose comparable to those generally encountered with wood fibers. The thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) shows that the plant matrices are thermally stable for temperatures below 200 ° C. The colorimetric assay of the polyphenolic composition of tanniferous matrices, the infrared analysis and the structural study of the tannins extract, as well as the calculation of "Stiasny number" show the high content in hydrolysable tannins for pomegranate barks and richness of Aleppo pine trunk barks and sumac roots barks in condensed tannins. The study by TGA of the thermal properties of tannins extracts shows that Aleppo pine and sumac tannins are thermally more stable than those of pomegranate. The formulation made from hexamine and Aleppo pine tannins has the greatest elasticity modulus. While the formulation prepared from pomegranate tannins forms the least dense network. These results were confirmed by the study of the shear strength. The study conducted on fiber-plaster composites (implementation and physico-mechanical characterization of composites) showed that local fiber could be an alternative to imported fibers used currently. A first characterization of the thermal conductivity of insulation panels made from local plant fibers and tannins adhesives shows an average conductivity of 0,106 W / Km

Abstract:
Variability in the relationship between tree leaf area (TLA) and selected stem measurements was examined in three Douglas-fir stands (Pseudotsuga menziesii (Mirb.) Franco, var. menziesii) that were less than 50 years-old, spaced to approximately 550 to 650 stems/ha, and differed in soil moisture and nutrients. Attention was given to the effect of mean annual ring width (MARW), cross-sectional area of the live bark (ALB - a surrogate measure of relative nutrient storage in the stem), and cross-sectional area of the most recent annual rings equal in number to the number of whorls in the live crown (ALC), on variability in the relationship between TLA and cross-sectional area of sapwood (ASW). At breast height, basal area, ASW, and cross-sectional area of sapwood plus live bark (ASWLB) were not linearly related to TLA, and linear regression equations using log transformed variables varied significantly between sites. Nonlinear regression equation for ASW at breast height was: TLA = 0.064ASẆ¹•³³ (I² = 0.856). Including D (the distance between breast height and the center of the live crown) in the nonlinear equation, did not significantly improve the regression. Tree leaf area prediction models using stem measures from the base of live crown (blc) had higher adjusted R² values than models using stem measures from breast height. At the blc, basal area, ASW, and ASWLB were linearly related to TLA (adjusted R² = 0.926, 0.908, and 0.934, respectively). Multiplying ASW by MARW did not improve the fit of the regression models. Multiplying ASW by ALB improved the linearity of the relationship of ASW at breast height to TLA. The best fitting TLA model overall used the product of ASW at blc and ALB at blc as the independent variable (adjusted R² = 0.967). The results indicate that research into the allometric relationship of TLA to stem measures should give consideration to more than hydraulic measures and include measures of bark function. At breast height and the blc, the independent variable ALC was linearly related to tree leaf area and had higher adjusted R² values than did ASW. In most trees the ALC stem measure was found to include a portion of heartwood area. The strong relationship between TLA and ALC suggests that a given transpiring leaf mass or area is related to a proportional amount of conducting stemwood and physical support stemwood. A quick alternative approach for estimating individual tree leaf area using photographs taken at fixed distance and angle from the target tree did not result in a reliable tree leaf area prediction technique. The difficulty of obtaining views of the tree crown which were not obstructed by adjacent tree crowns was the major obstacle. Using a fixed distance and camera angle was a problem because of variable tree heights. However, altering these fixed positions introduced additional variation into the tree leaf area estimation. Mean specific leaf area (SLA) varied significantly by site, needle age class, and crown position. Mean SLA per needle age class per branch can be predicted with 95% confidence and a 10% allowable error using six 10-needle samples.

Abstract:
The xylem in plants is formed by interconnected dead cells that allow the flow of water from the roots to the leaves. The ascent of sap is mainly passive and it is driven by water evaporation from the mesophyll cell walls in the leaf. The water evaporation generates capillary suction on the menisci at the micro-porous of cell walls, causing negative hydrostatic pressure that propagates down the water column in the xylem. Due to plants grow in height the length of the hydraulic path increases progressively posing the question whether the hydraulic resistance increases accordingly. There is evidence that plants have evolved xylem structures that compensate the possible increase of the hydraulic resistance imposed by path length, namely the tip-to-base conduits widening. Conduits widening has been reported in several species, both angiosperms and conifers, showing that the degree of widening from tip to the base of the stem is very similar among species, or in other words, that plants converge towards a universal xylem structure. Nevertheless, several points on the hydraulic architecture of plants remain to be elucidated. A largely debated point is whether xylem anatomical traits (e.g. the absolute cell size) change with climatic conditions. Moreover, whether and how the conduits widening in the stem may affect the xylem anatomy of the leaf is still not fully understood. This PhD project aims to widen our understanding of the allometric relations of leaves and stem xylem, considering how the environmental conditions and the height of the plant affect the hydraulic architecture of the water transport system. A methodological study (Study 1) has been performed on the xylem tissue of stems of Acacia trees grown in different water availability conditions. The main result was that, once the anatomical data were standardized for the tree height, the hydraulic architecture of the xylem did not change in relation to the environmental conditions. Two studies have been performed on the hydraulic architecture of leaves. The main focus was on the anatomical traits of the xylem conduits in relation to the leaf dimensions and/or the position in the tree crown (height from the base of the stem). The main results were that the xylem traits scaled with the leaf area independently by the position in the crown (Study 2). A fine analysis of the leaf midrib (i.e. major leaf vein) has shown a rigid hydraulic architecture and tissues coordination (Study 3) that was well predicted by the distance from the leaf tip. Both studies showed that the dimensions of the terminal veins were conserved among leaves and within leaf suggesting that the hydraulic architecture of the xylem in the leaf evolved in a way to guarantee an equal distribution of the hydraulic resistances (and thus of the water) among leaves and within the leaf lamina. Finally, we implemented the anatomical data of both stem and leaf into a hydraulic model to assess the distribution of resistances along the hydraulic path to evaluate how the anatomy of the transport system affects the physiology of the entire tree (Study 4). This thesis has highlighted that the path length (i.e. the height of the plant and the dimensions of the leaf) is the main factor affecting the hydraulic architecture of the tree. The conduit dimension in both stem and leaf are determined by the distance from the terminal parts, stem apex or leaf tip respectively. Climatic conditions resulted to have marginal (non-significant) effect on the stem anatomical traits. In the leaf, the dimensions of the xylem conduits are statistically invariant with changes in plant size. This rigid hydraulic architecture of the tree, from the stem to the leaf, allows minimizing the effect of the path length on the hydraulic resistance, confining nearly the whole gradient of water potential within the leaves.
Lo xilema nelle piante è formato da cellule morte interconnesse che consentono il flusso di acqua dalle radici alle foglie. L'ascesa della linfa è principalmente passiva ed è guidata dall'evaporazione dell'acqua dalle pareti cellulari del mesofillo nella foglia. L'evaporazione dell'acqua genera un'aspirazione capillare sui menischi a livello dei micro-pori delle pareti cellulari, causando una pressione idrostatica negativa che si propaga lungo la colonna d'acqua nello xilema. A causa dell’aumento in altezza delle piante, la lunghezza del percorso idrico aumenta progressivamente ponendo la domanda se la resistenza idraulica aumenta di conseguenza. Vi è evidenza che le piante hanno evoluto strutture xilematiche che compensano il possibile aumento della resistenza idraulica imposta dall'aumento della lunghezza del percorso, come ad esempio l'allargamento dei condotti dalla punta alla base. L’allargamento dei condotti è stato osservato in diverse specie, sia angiosperme sia conifere, dimostrando che il grado di allargamento dalla punta alla base dello stelo è molto simile tra le specie, o in altre parole, che le piante convergono verso una struttura xilema universale. Tuttavia, restano da chiarire diversi punti sull'architettura idraulica delle piante. Un punto largamente dibattuto è se tratti anatomici dello xilema (ad esempio la dimensione assoluta delle cellule) cambiano con le condizioni climatiche. Inoltre, se e come i condotti che si allargano nello stelo possano influenzare l'anatomia dello xilema della foglia non è ancora completamente compreso. Il progetto di questo dottorato mira ad ampliare la nostra comprensione delle relazioni allometriche nello xilema delle foglie e del fusto, considerando come le condizioni ambientali e l'altezza della pianta possano influenzare l'architettura idraulica del sistema di trasporto dell'acqua. Uno studio metodologico (Studio 1) è stato eseguito sul tessuto xilematico di fusti di alberi di acacia cresciuti in diverse condizioni di disponibilità idrica. Il risultato principale è stato che, una volta che i dati anatomici sono stati standardizzati per l'altezza dell'albero, l'architettura idraulica dello xilema non è cambiata in relazione alle condizioni ambientali. Sono stati eseguiti due studi sull'architettura idraulica delle foglie. L'obiettivo principale degli studi riguardava i tratti anatomici dei condotti dello xilema in relazione alle dimensioni della foglia e / o alla posizione nella chioma dell'albero (altezza dalla base del fusto). Dai risultati si evince che i tratti dello xilema si ridimensionano in base all'area fogliare indipendentemente dalla posizione nella chioma (Studio 2). Un'analisi fine della nervatura principale della foglia ha mostrato una rigida architettura idraulica e la coordinazione dei tessuti (Studio 3), ben predetta dalla distanza dalla punta della foglia. Entrambi gli studi hanno dimostrato che le dimensioni delle vene terminali sono conservate tra le foglie e all'interno della stessa foglia, suggerendo che l'architettura idraulica dello xilema si è evoluta in modo da garantire distribuzione omogenea delle resistenze idrauliche (e quindi dell'acqua) tra le foglie e lungo la lamina fogliare. Infine, abbiamo implementato i dati anatomici di fusto e foglia in un modello idraulico per stimare la distribuzione delle resistenze lungo il percorso idraulico per valutare in che modo l'anatomia del sistema di trasporto influisca sulla fisiologia dell'intero albero (Studio 4). Questa tesi ha evidenziato che la lunghezza del percorso (vale a dire l'altezza della pianta e le dimensioni della foglia) è il fattore principale che influenza l'architettura idraulica dell'albero. La dimensione del condotto sia nel fusto che nella foglia è determinata dalla distanza dalle parti terminali, rispettivamente l'apice del fusto o la punta della foglia. Le condizioni climatiche risultano avere un effetto marginale (non significativo) sui tratti anatomici del fusto e nella foglia, le dimensioni dei condotti dello xilema sono statisticamente indipendenti rispetto alle variazioni nelle dimensioni della pianta. Questa rigida architettura idraulica dell'albero, dal fusto alla foglia, consente di minimizzare l'effetto della lunghezza del percorso sulla resistenza idraulica, confinando quasi l'intero gradiente del potenziale idrico all'interno delle foglie.

Abstract:
This paper extends upon Jennifer Hunt’s research on “Why do women leave science and engineering?”, that contributes to existing literature that overlooks underrepresented minorities level of commitment to STEM fields based on their STEM educational backgrounds and additional contributing factors that relates to women engineer’s leaving their felid to another felid that does not have any relation to their STEM degree. The following independent factors are the respondents’ gender, reasons for leaving the felid of major, how much does their highest degree relate to their current principle/ primary job, parents’ level of education, current citizenship status, level of highest degrees obtained and salary survey data impact on exit rates of STEM identifying URMs. This is done by running multiple linear regression statistical analysis models by creating dummy variables for underrepresented ethnic/ racial minority grouped all together and isolated each URMs’ group dependent variable along with the contributing factors as my independent variables. In order, to figure out which factors are heavily correlated to the exit rates of URMs departing from STEM fields. In addition to learning more about the reasons behind the increasing exit rates of STEM identifying URMs, I will be discussing the shortcomings of using the 2015 National College Graduate Survey as my data and how the survey respondents’ level of exposure to STEM education from their primary school years suggests that the respondent is more likely to stay within a STEM felid that collates with their highest STEM degree than someone who has rarely been exposure to STEM education from youth.

Abstract:

In the last 5 years, industries have begun to recognize a growing gap in the production of college graduates in areas of STEM. Researchers in various industries believe this gap will create a significant loss of competitive edge in the STEM fields, which will leave the United States pursuing STEM graduates from foreign countries and may ultimately leave the US behind in the industry of science, technology and innovation. This qualitative study analyzes the value and impact of STEM teacher leaders in secondary education. A phenomenological study was conducted with 10 secondary school science and math teacher leaders in order to gain a better understanding of teacher leaders' perceptions, classroom practices and the role of a STEM teacher leader. This study addresses the following research questions: 1) What attributes define effective STEM teacher leaders, according to teacher leaders who have completed the Center for Math and Science Teaching system? 2) What success strategies, among teacher leaders of the Center for Math and Science Teaching program, have enabled further development of teacher leadership? 3) What is the best model in developing teacher leaders, according to literature from 2005 to present? 4) What is an optimal model of developing STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) teacher leaders within secondary education? This research aims to explore teacher leaders' perceptions of their role as a teacher leader based on strategies learned from CMAST and past experiences. Findings from this study provide critical data for making informed decisions on including important elements when implementing an effective STEM teacher leader system or program, and the impact it can create on science and math teaching and learning in secondary education. The investigator concludes this study with the development of a STEM teacher leader model that merges these findings with existing research.

Abstract:
O número das espécies microbianas presentes na forragem no ato da colheita é responsável pelo padrão de fermentação da silagem, sendo que o número de unidades formadoras de colônia (ufc) é alterado ao longo do ciclo da cultura e das condições ambientais, e esse fato, influencia fortemente a eficácia de aditivos utilizados no processo. Neste contexto, três experimentos foram conduzidos a fim de caracterizar a população microbiana em plantas de cana-de-açúcar. No primeiro experimento foi caracterizada a população microbiana em plantas de cana-de-açúcar por meio da técnica de plaqueamento. Os tratamentos impostos foram compostos por duas fontes de adubação (NPK e NPK associado a esteco bovino curtido 120kg de N/ha) da cana-de-açúcar colhidas manualmente com vista à quantificação do número de bactérias ácido láticas, leveduras e mofos, bem como relacionar suas freqüências de ocorrência com efeitos ambientais, fonte de fertilizante e estádio de maturação, com colheitas realizadas aos 10, 12, 14 e 18 meses, correspondendo aos meses de Março, Maio, Julho e Novembro de 2009, respectivamente. No segundo experimento foram avaliadas as variáveis biométricas, morfológicas, dinâmica de acúmulo de MS e dos nutrientes em cana-de-açúcar submetida às fontes de fertilização, descritas anteriormente. No terceiro experimento foi realizada avaliação química e bromatológica de cana-de-açúcar submetida à fontes de adubação. O experimento composto por blocos inteiramente casualizados sendo 6 blocos subdivididos em 2 parcelas. Os dados gerados foram analisados pelo procedimento Proc Mixed e Proc NLIN, do programa SAS. Não se observou efeito do tratamento sobre nunhuma variável avaliada. A produtividade média de massa verde variou entre 162 e 188 tMV/ha, podendo ser considerada elevada. O número de folhas verdes partiu de 9,5 aos 10 meses e atingiu cerca de 10 aos 18, o que é esperado, uma vez que ao passar do tempo há aumento da biomassa das plantas. O mesmo se observo para folhas secas, partindo de cerca de zero folhas por planta até cerca de 3 folhas. O peso das folhas também foi crescente. O peso e comprimento do colmo aumentaram de Março para Maio, mas apartir de Maio e Julho esse crescimento foi estagnado, não aumentando significativamente devido à seca. Porém, apartir de Julho esse crescimento voltou a ocorrer com o aumento das chuvas. A cana-de-açúcar apresentou 10 oBrix aos 10 meses, 17oBrix aos 12 meses e 20obrix aos 20 meses. O índice de maturidade aumentou, saindo de 33,46 aos 10 meses e atingindo 88,5 aos 18 meses. Aos 12 meses a cana-de-açúcar apresentou teor de matéria seca de 24%, e aos 18 meses 28%. Os teores de FDN e FDA da planta inteira dimunuiu ao longo do tempo, dos 10 meses (61% e 38,4% de FDN e FDA, respectivamente) para os 12 meses e permanecendo constante até os 18 meses (55% e 35,6% de FDN e FDA, respctivamente). Foi observado que existe correlação positiva entre DIVMS e do oBrix,e a equação, DIVMS = 41,35 + oBrix ; com R2=0,73 e P<0,01 se estabelecendo como ferramenta importante para se estimar a DIVMS. Ao longo do tempo, a contagem de bactérias ácido láticas e de leveduras foi crescente. De forma geral, todas as frações da planta apresentaram contagem numericamente semelhante, partindo de cerca de 4log ufc/gMV aos 10 meses e atingindo cerca de 5,5 log ufc/gMV aos 18 meses. Aos 10 meses a planta inteira de cana-de-açúcar apresentou contagem de leveduras de 4 log ufc/g MV permanecendo constante até os 18 meses, quando atingiu 5,7 log ufc/g MV. A fonte de adubação, quer seja química ou orgânica, não interfere na população de microrganismos, que entretanto, varia em função do período experimental e das condições climáticas.
The numbe of microbial species in forages during the ensiling is responsible for the silage fermentation, and the numbeof colony forming units (cfu) changes during the crop cycle and environmental conditions. It suggests that the initial microbial profile strongly influences the effectiveness of additives used in the process. In this context, we propose three trials to characterize the microbial population in plants of sugarcane. The first trial evaluated the microbial population in plants of sugarcane by the technique of pour plating. The treatment consisted of two levels of fertilization (NPK and NPK associated with solid manure - 120kg N / ha) applied immediately after sugarcane was harvested by hand. The objective was quantify the number of lactic acid bacteria, yeasts and molds, as well as relating their frequencies with environmental effects, fertilization and stage of maturation, with samples taken at 10, 12, 14 and 18 months, corresponding to the months of March, May, July and November 2009. The second trial measured the biometric variables, morphological, the accumulation of dry matter and nutrients in sugarcane subjected the sources of fertilization, as mensioned. The third trial performed chemical assessments of sugarcane subjected to the sources of fertilization. The trials consisted of a completely randomized design with six blocks sub-divided into two plots. Data were analyzed by the procedure Proc Mixed and Proc NLIN of SAS program. There was no effect of treatment in any trial. The fresh yield ranged from 162 to 188tGM/ha which can be considered high. The number of green leaves was increased from 9.5 to 10 to 10 to 18, which is expected, since there is an increase of plant biomass across the time. The same was observed for dead leaves, from about 0 leaves per plant up to 3 leaves. The weight of the leaves was also increased. The weight and length of the stem increased from March to May, and became more intensive from July with increasing rainfall. However, during the dry season (May - July) there was a decreased growing rate.The sugarcane oBrix was 10 at 10 months, 17 oBrix at 12 months and 20oBrix to 20 months. The maturity index increased, from 33.46 to 10 months reaching 88.5 at 18 months. At 12 months the sugarcane showed dry matter content of 24% and 28% at 18 month. The NDF and ADF of the whole plant decreased over time from 10 months (61% and 38.4% NDF and ADF, respectively) for 12 months and remained constant until 18 months (55% and 35 6% NDF and ADF, respectively). A is positive correlation between IVDMD and oBrix was observed, and the equation, IVDMD = 41.35 + oBrix, with R2 = 0.73 and P <0.01 is an important tool to estimate IVDMD. Over time, the counts of lactic acid bacteria were increased. In general, all plant fractions showed similar counts, starting from 4 log cfu/gGM to 10 months and reaching about 5.5 log cfu/gGM to 18 months. At 10 months the whole plant sugarcane had yeast count of 4 log cfu/gGM remaining constant until 18 months, when it reached 5.7 log cfu / g MV. The source of fertilizer, whether chemical or organic, does not interfere in the population of microorganisms, however, varies depending on the experimental period and climatic conditions.

Abstract:
Representatives of the Seseli genus are recognized for their biological activities. The objective of this study was to analyze the phenolic and flavonoid content, along with the antioxidant effects, of methanol, ethyl acetate, and acetone extracts obtained from the roots, leaves, stems, and fruits of S. rigidum. Through spectrophotometric measurements of phenols and flavonoids, the results revealed that the polar (methanol) solvent extract from the leaves exhibited the highest concentrations of phenols (98.66 ± 2.64 mg GA/g) and flavonoids (20.74 ± 0.55 mg RU/g), surpassing those obtained from the stem. Specifically, the methanol extract from the leaves demonstrated the highest antioxidant activity at 25.87 ± 0.05 μg/mL, while the fruit extract exhibited the lowest antioxidant activity at 638.5 ± 0.01 μg/mL. Notably, the total phenol content displayed a strong positive correlation with the antioxidant activity of the extracts, unlike the total flavonoid content.

Abstract:
Clavibactermichiganensissubsp. michiganensis(Cmm), the causal agent of bacterial wilt and canker of tomato, is the most destructive bacterial disease of tomato causing substantial economic losses in Israel, the U.S.A. and worldwide. The goal of the project was to unravel the molecular strategies that allow Cmm, a Gram-positive bacterium, to develop a successful infection in tomato. The genome of Cmm contains numerous genes encoding for extracellular serine proteases and cell wall degrading enzymes. The first objective was to elucidate the role of secreted serine proteases in Cmm virulence. Mutants of nine genes encoding serine proteases of 3 different families were tested for their ability to induce wilting, when tomato stems were puncture-inoculated, as compared to blisters formation on leaves, when plants were spray-inoculated. All the mutants showed reduction in wilting and blister formation as compared to the wild type. The chpCmutant displayed the highest reduction, implicating its major role in symptom development. Five mutants of cell wall degrading enzymes and additional genes (i.e. perforin and sortase) caused wilting but were impaired in their ability to form blisters on leaves. These results suggest that Cmm differentially expressed virulence genes according to the site of penetration. Furthermore, we isolated and characterized two Cmmtranscriptional activators, Vatr1 and Vatr2 that regulate the expression of virulence factors, membrane and secreted proteins. The second objective was to determine the effect of bacterial virulence genes on movement of Cmm in tomato plants and identify the routes by which the pathogen contaminates seeds. Using a GFP-labeledCmm we could demonstrate that Cmm extensively colonizes the lumen of xylem vessels and preferentially attaches to spiral secondary wall thickening of the protoxylem and formed biofilm-like structures composed of large bacterial aggregates. Our findings suggest that virulence factors located on the chp/tomAPAI or the plasmids are required for effective movement of the pathogen in tomato and for the formation of cellular aggregates. We constructed a transposon plasmid that can be stably integrated into Cmm chromosome and express GFP, in order to follow movement to the seeds. Field strains from New York that were stably transformed with this construct, could not only access seeds systemically through the xylem, but also externally through tomato fruit lesions, which harbored high intra-and intercellular populations. Active movement and expansion of bacteria into the fruit mesocarp and nearby xylem vessels followed, once the fruit began to ripen. These results highlight the ability of Cmm to invade tomato fruit and seed through multiple entry routes. The third objective was to assess correlation between disease severity and expression levels of Cmm virulence genes and tomato defense genes. The effect of plant age on expression of tomato defense related proteins during Cmm infection was analyzed by qRT-PCR. Five genes out of eleven showed high induction at early stages of infection of plants with 19/20 leaves compared to young plants bearing 7/8 leaves. Previous results showed that Cmm virulence genes were expressed at early stages of infection in young plants compared to older plants. Results of this study suggest that Cmm virulence genes may suppress expression of tomato defense-related genes in young plants allowing effective disease development. The possibility that chpCis involved in suppression of tomato defense genes is currently under investigation by measuring the transcript level of several PR proteins, detected previously in our proteomics study. The fourth objective was to define genome location and stability of virulence genes in Cmm strains. New York isolates were compared to Israeli, Serbian, and NCPPB382 strains. The plasmid profiles of New York isolates were diverse and differed from both Israeli and Serbian strains. PCR analysis indicated that the presence of putative pathogenicity genes varied between isolates and highlighted the ephemeral nature of pathogenicity genes in field populations of Cmm. Results of this project significantly contributed to the understanding of Cmm virulence, its movement within tomato xylem or externally into the seeds, the role of serine proteases in disease development and initiated research on global regulation of Cmm virulence. These results form a basis for developing new strategies to combat wilt and canker disease of tomato.

Abstract:
There is abundant evidence that leadership development leads to positive impact. But how do we define impact, and what factors should be considered when assessing the results of leadership development? Our comprehensive framework is specifically relevant to leadership development and defines four levels of impact (individual, group, organizational, and societal) as well as three factors that contribute to its effectiveness (leader characteristics, leadership solution, and context). Understanding the four levels will enable organizations to clarify the goals and purpose of their development initiatives and know where to focus measurement. Attending to the contributing factors can help organizations understand the results they are getting and take appropriate steps to maximize the impact of their development initiatives.

Abstract:
Argentina has taken steps to increase women's participation in politics. In 1991, it established that 30% of the candidate list for the Chamber of Deputies had to be women. As a consequence of the measure, the percentage of women deputies has increased from 5.44% in 1991/93 to 27% in 1995/97. At the same time, the country was under Menem's presidency that was considered to neglect democratic institution such as Parliament. The main aim of this paper is to answer the question: Does a quota system enhance women's participation in weak democracies? The main argument is given that the numeric increase of women has occurred in a weak and or neglected Parliament, the potential achievements of the initiatives has been neutralized. Additionally, the study argues that women have begun to make their voices heard in a political space that was traditionally controlled by men and this, in itself, constitutes a remarkable achievement.

Abstract:
Plant vascular tissues are superhighways whose development and function have profound implications for productivity, yield and stress response. Preliminary studies by the PI indicated that sugar metabolism mediated by fructokinases (FRKs) has a pronounced effect on the transport properties of the xylem. The goal of this research was to determine how the main fructokinase gene, FRK2, and the only plastidic fructokinase, FRK3, influence vascular development and physiology, emphasizing processes that occur at both the cellular and organismic level. We found that both genes are expressed in vascular tissues, but FRK3 is expressed primarily in vascular tissues of mature petioles. Vascular anatomy of plants with antisense suppression of FRK2 uncovered that FRK2 is necessary for xylem and phloem development, most likely due to its role in vascular cell-wall synthesis, and affects vascular development all over the plant. As a result, suppression of FRK2 reduced hydraulic conductivity of roots, stem and leaves and restricted sugar phloem transport. Vascular anatomy of plants with RNAi suppression of FRK3 uncovered that FRK3 is required for vascular development in mature petiole but its role is partially complemented by FRK2. Suppression of FRK3 combined with partial suppression of FRK2 had effects completely different from that of FRK2 suppression, resulting in wilting of mature leaves rather than young leaves of FRK2 suppressed plants, and decreased export of photoassimilates. This primary effect of FRK2 suppression on mature petioles had a secondary effect, reducing the hydraulic conductivity in roots and stem. The very fact that a plastidic fructokinase plays a role in vascular development is quite surprising and we are still seeking to uncover its metabolic mode-of-action. Yet, it is clear that these two fructokinases have different roles in the coordination between photosynthetic capacity and vascular development. We have started analyzing the role of the last third FRK, FRK1, and discovered that it is also expressed exclusively in vascular tissues. It appears therefore, that all FRKs studied here are involved in vascular development. An interesting unexpected outcome of this study was the connection of FRK2 with hormonal regulation of vascular development, most likely auxin. This observation together with the yet to be solved questions on the exact roles of FRK3 are the subjects of our current efforts.

Abstract:
"When individual contributors or professionals are promoted into their first formal leadership position, many do not realize how tough that transition can be for them. We often hear that these leaders are not prepared, and lack the support and development to help make that transition successfully. When they are not supported, they suffer, and so too do their teams, the organization, and the HR leadership pipeline, which ultimately can negatively impact the organization’s bottom line. First-time managers are an important part of an organization’s talent and succession management. In turn, organizations may attempt to help first-time managers make the transition into leadership easier by implementing a formal mentoring program. This white paper supports this effort by: • Explaining the benefits a mentoring program can provide for first-time managers and their mentor. • Providing organizations a way to strengthen their own mentoring programs. • Offering HR leaders specific steps to follow and best practices applied in starting and maintaining a successful formal mentoring program specifically aimed at first-time managers. Formal mentoring programs are useful to support and develop first-time managers, an important leadership population that is vital for strengthening your leadership pipeline and succession management efforts. Armed with the knowledge from this white paper, we believe you will be able to gain a competitive advantage".

Abstract:
This report highlights the current state of educational inequities and national efforts to address them through policy, resources, tools, and technical assistance. Based on our review of over sixty equity-centered resources, we find that few toolkits are explicitly designed for K-12 schools and districts. We make a case for practical tools and resources, such as the EET™, to support education leaders in their equity work. Finally, based on our analysis of federal efforts to advance equity and a new administration that is prioritizing racial justice, we outline immediate action steps the Biden-Harris administration can take on this matter.
