Whether you are beginning a new landscape or renovating an existing one, planning ahead can prevent many problems. The majority of maintenance requirements and plant problems result from either selecting the wrong kind of plant for a location or planting an inferior specimen of the selected plant type. In other words, there are two decisions to be made: ▪ What species, or kind, of tree are you going to buy — an oak, pine, mesquite, or acacia? ▪ Assuming you decide on an oak, which one in the row of oaks at the nursery are you going to buy? The first decision is called Plant Selection and the second is Selecting Plants. Our goal is to install the right plant in the right place. This publication will cover the factors involved in making good decisions to achieve this goal.

These regions correspond with four climatic zones, allowing a large and diverse number of plants to be grown for landscaping purposes. But, interestingly, in this desert environment many of the parasitic diseases in landscape plants are caused by a limited number of plant pathogens. This publication discusses some of those diseases that are sufficiently important to the urban plants in all areas Arizona.

Resumo: O presente trabalho teve como objetivo estudar ontogenética e morfologicamente a flor e o fruto em representantes de Bignoniaceae no intuito de verificar se ocorrem padrões no desenvolvimento do ovário bem como o modo de formação do septo e placentas e a forma de compressão do fruto nesta família. Foram realizados estudos ontogenéticos com abordagens anatômicas e de Microscopia Eletrônica de Varredura em gemas florais, botões florais, flores e frutos de representantes selecionados de acordo com atributos morfológicos de interesse taxonômico como o tipo de fruto (indeiscente/deiscente), deiscência deste em relação à coluna seminífera (paralela/perpendicular), tipo de coluna seminífera e em Jacaranda, um representante de cada seção. As espécies estudadas foram: Cybistax antisyphilitica (Mart.) Mart., Jacaranda mimosifolia D. Don (seção Jacaranda) e Jacaranda simplicifolia K. Schum. ex Bureau & K. Schum. (seção Dilobos), Digomphia laurifolia Benth. (Tecomeae), Arrabidaea brachypoda Bureau (Bignonieae) e Parmentiera cereifera Seem. (Crescentieae). Efetuou-se o estudo morfológico das espécies de Jacaranda e de Digomphia nativas do Brasil, com intuito de obter caracteres diagnósticos com enfoque em Jacaranda que apresenta espécies muito parecidas, de difícil posicionamento taxonômico. Verificou-se que o surgimento dos primórdios de filomas florais ocorre centripetamente, de forma sincrônica ou assincrônica. Os dois carpelos são ascidiados e originam-se na região central do domo, podendo esta se tornar côncava antes da iniciação dos carpelos. O septo pode estar presente desde os estádios iniciais do desenvolvimento ou surgir posteriormente. Através do estudo anatômico, verificou-se que em todas as espécies analisadas os primeiros feixes vasculares a se formarem no ovário são os dorsais, seguidos dos ventrais. Ocorrem quatro placentas, nas quais os óvulos se desenvolvem da região central próxima ao tecido transmissor para as regiões periféricas do septo, de forma basípeta ou acrópeta, variando em número de fileiras e óvulos conforme as espécies. Os óvulos são unitegumentados e anátropos. O estaminódio, mesmo que vestigial, desenvolve-se mais rapidamente que as anteras nos estádios ontogenéticos iniciais. No desenvolvimento do fruto, as maiores modificações ocorrem na região mediana do pericarpo jovem, junto aos feixes vasculares laterais, onde surgem novos feixes e fibras orientadas em vários sentidos. Registrou-se a presença de um replo em A. brachypoda, constituído por um feixe vascular lateral no pericarpo, rico em fibras e adjacências da coluna seminífera. Em Jacaranda, pode-se fazer as seguintes inferências: a Seção Dilobos apresenta plantas com hábito arbustivo ou arbóreo, com as folhas são bipinadas na maioria das árvores e pinadas nos arbustos, exceto em J. simplicifolia, que é um arbusto com folhas simples. Na Seção Jacaranda, a maioria das espécies é arbórea, com folhas bipinadas e as inflorescências são mais complexas. As espécies arbóreas de Jacaranda com folhas bipinadas e anteras monotecas possuem os frutos lenhosos, enquanto que os frutos sublenhosos a cartáceos estão dentre as espécies arbustivas e xilopodíferas deste gênero. Digomphia compartilha com Jacaranda caracteres morfológicos como a forma de compressão do fruto, deiscência perpendicular ao septo e estaminódio alongado com tricomas glandulares. A disposição dos feixes vasculares no ovário e no fruto é característica destes dois gêneros diferindo dos demais gêneros de Bignoniaceae aqui estudados
Abstract: This contribution involves the study on both, morphological and ontogenetic grounds of flower and fruit early development within representative species of Bignoniaceae. Emphasis is given to possible patterns of ovary, placentae, and septum development, as well as on fruit shape and compression. Anatomical and SEM studies were performed on floral primordia, floral buds, flowers and fruits of morphologically and taxonomically representative species. Morphological features of taxonomic relevance (type of fruits and dehiscence; type of seminal axis, etc). The studied species were Cybistax antisyphilitica (Mart.) Mart., Jacaranda mimosifolia D. Don (section Jacaranda), J. simplicifolia K. Schum. ex Bureau & K. Schum. (section Dilobos), Digomphia laurifolia Benth. (Tecomeae), Arrabidaea brachypoda Bureau (Bignonieae) and Parmentiera cereifera Seem. (Crescentieae). Complementary morphological studies were performed on native Brazilian species of Jacaranda and Digomphia. These studies were mainly focused on Jacaranda, a genus with remarkable taxonomic problems and were aimed to assemble sets of diagnostic characters for species of difficult identification. The arising of floral primordia is centripetal, the development of the primordia being synchronic or asynchronic. The two ascidiate carpels arise at the dome¿s center. This dome¿s central region may turn concave prior to carpel initiation. The septum may or may not be present at earliest developmental stages. At the ovary, the dorsal vascular bundles develop first, followed by the ventral ones. There are four placentae and the ovules develop from the central region next to the transmitting tissue, toward septum¿s peripheral region; in a basipetal to acropetal way. The number of ovules and series varies according to the species. The ovules are unitegmic and anatropous. The staminode, even in species where it is vestigial, develops faster than functional anthers during the earlier developmental stages. During fruit development, most significant modifications involve the median region of the young pericarp; where a number of variously arranged vascular bundles and fibers appear near the vascular bundles. The tissue originating the line of fruit dehiscence appears soon after the ovules are fertilized. A replum was recorded in A. brachypoda. This replum consists of a fiber-rich central vascular bundle, part of the pericarp and part of the seminal axis. Considering Jacaranda, the following inferences can be done: In its current delimitation, section Dilobos includes shrubs or trees. Most trees display bipinnate leaves. Conversely, shrubs show pinnate leaves. Remarkably, one species within this section (J. simplicifolia) is a shrub with simple leaves. Within the section Jacaranda, most species are trees with bipinnate leaves. The inflorescences are more complex in this section. Arboreal, monotecic species with bipinnate leaves display lignified fruits. Conversely, coriaceous fruits are restricted to the shrubby or xylopodiferous species. Digomphia shares a number of morphological features with Jacaranda, such as fruit shape, compression type and dehiscence, presence of an elongate staminodium covered with glandular trichomes and a characteristic arrangement of ovary and fruit vascular bundles. This latter feature is quite different in the other studied Bignoniaceae genera

Texto completo da fontePlants display multiple defense systems against phytophagous insects. Manipulating these defenses by means of selection could contribute to decrease damages caused by insect pests, by increasing natural resistance of crops. This strategy faces great constraints when applied to insects. We first detail these constraints and then propose an alternative approach to classical methods. It consists in identifying key plant traits that determine the intensity of the interaction between the plant and the pest. If such traits are identified, selection could be conducted on the basis if these sole traits, without needing any insect. We tested this approach in a system composed of oilseed rape (Brassica napus) and the pollen beetle (Meligethes aeneus), a major pest of this culture. This coleopteran generalist pollen feeder lays eggs only on certain brassicaceous plants. Agronomical damage arise before plant flowering and are caused by adults, which destroy flower buds to get the pollen they contain. Four crucial steps of the interaction were studied: attraction, adult feeding, egg production and oviposition, and larval development. Six oilseed rape genotypes were compared in a series of experiments conducted in the laboratory. By linking insect preference/performance to large metabolic profiling of bud tissues, we identified candidate key traits. Main conclusions of this work are (i) that biochemical composition of the perianth, especially a few compounds among which sucrose, is determinant for feeding intensity; (ii) that feeding stimulation has an important impact on egg production by constraining oogenesis; (iii) that pollen nutritional quality, probably mostly determined by starch and some glucosinolates, interacts with both pollen beetle larvae and adults. Combination of several results also allows drawing more general hypotheses about the oilseed rape - pollen beetle interaction. One of these is that the agronomical context in which the interaction takes place may have largely influenced, or even disturbed, the interaction that linked this insect and wild brassicaceous plants before oilseed rape cultivation. This thesis showed that a new way might be possible to protect cultures against insect pests. It could be both efficient and sustainable, especially in systems where agronomical damage is caused at a temporary vulnerable plant stage

Texto completo da fonteTranspiration serves in leaf cooling, maintaining turgor pressure, promoting xylem transport of nutrient solutes from roots to shoots and delivering mobile soil nutrients to root surfaces. Soil availability of nitrogen can modulate transpiration rates, consequently powering nutrient delivery to the root surfaces (‗mass-flow'). Although such knowledge on N-regulation of transpiration is available, it remains unknown, however, whether it is NO3- or NH4+ that regulates transpiration. Given that both nitrogen forms co-occur in soils, it is not known how they interact at varying ratios in modulating stomatal behaviour. To test the functional role of NO3- and NH4+ in regulating water fluxes for mass-flow nutrient acquisition, P. vulgaris L. plants were grown with NO3- or NH4+ placed at one of four distances behind a nylon mesh, which prevented direct root access to nitrogen, whilst control plants intercepted the nitrogen source (Chapter 3). Day- and night-time stomatal conductance and transpiration, measured using Infra-Red Gas Analyser (IRGA) declined in NO3- fed plants with the increased distance behind a nylon mesh, with maximum water fluxes at the closest distance (ca. 0 mm), demonstrating a regulatory role of NO3- on stomata closure. An opposite trend was displayed by NH4+ -fed plants, which indicated the incapacity of NH4+ to down-regulate water fluxes and ammoniacal syndrome at high concentrations. To test how different [NO3-] and [NH4+] regulate day- and night-time stomatal conductance and transpiration (Chapter 4), P. vulgaris was fed with six concentrations (0, 0.25, 0.5, 1, 2, 4 and 8 mM) of each nitrogen form. A biphasic trend emerged, as postulated in previous studies (Wilkinson et al., 2007; Matimati et al., 2013), characterized by an increase in stomatal conductance and transpiration as [NO3-] increased, attaining a maximum before declining with higher [NO3-]. Plants displayed 2-fold higher photosynthetic rates, 2.2-fold higher stomatal conductance and 2.3-fold higher transpiration rates at 4 mM than at 0.25 mM of [NO3-]. The lowest [NO3-] up-regulated night-time stomatal conductance and transpiration, indicating that NO3- -fed plants opened their stomata at night-time, but reduced night-time water loss at higher [NO3-]. NH4+-fed plants had the incapacity to regulate day- and night-time water fluxes, but rather displayed wilting and stress known as ‗ammoniacal syndrome'. Thus, under NO3- deprived soil conditions P. vulgaris may be opportunistic in their water uptake, transpiring more when water is available in order to draw nutrients through ‗mass-flow'. This thesis explored and confirmed the functional role of NO3- in regulating day- and night-time water fluxes as a mechanism for increasing ‗mass-flow' acquisition of N and possibly other nutrients, signalling a down-regulation of day-time and night-time water fluxes when [NO3-] is replete (Chapter 3 & 4). Where both NO3- and NH4+ are present in soils, it is the [NO3-] and not [NH4+] that regulated stomatal conductance and transpiration. Since organic nitrogen forms such as amino acids also occur in soils, there is a need for further work on their role in stomatal behaviour. Using amino acids laced with 15N isotopes as a nitrogen source can allow their acquisition and role on stomatal behaviour to be discovered. Current trends in research are focussed around developing real-time in-situ sensing of soil nitrogen status to promote enhanced nitrogen and water use efficiency in agricultural systems. This thesis provides the vital literature on stomatal regulation by [NO3-].

Texto completo da fonteEsta tesis se centra principalmente en el análisis funcional y en la caracterización de los genes que codifican para algunos metabolitos secundarios y en el estudio de su regulación en las plantas. Los objetivos generales fueron (a) profundizar en el conocimiento de la regulación transcripcional del gen de la biosíntesis de los carotenoides, la β-caroteno hidroxilasa 2 (BCH2) en el maíz, y (b) analizar la función de las dos isopentenil difosfato isomerasas (OsIPPI) de arroz, determinando además su localización subcelular. Simultáneamente, se estudió cómo la luz afecta a la vía metabólica y a la producción de pelargonidina en el arroz; se identificaron también los genes esenciales de su biosíntesis en Gentiana lutea L. var. aurantiaca. Las plantas de maíz y arroz se transformaron con los genes de los factores de transcripción ZmMYB y ZmPBF. Se analizó la expresión génica transitoria y se realizó transformación estable. Los resultados obtenidos indicaron que tanto ZmPBF como ZmGAMYB pueden transactivar la expresión de ZmBCH2 en endospermo de maíz, y ZmPBF y ZmGAMYB transactivar independientemente el promotor de ZmBCH2 en arroz. Los dos parálogos de IPPI (OsIPPI1 y OsIPPI2) aislados previamente en arroz tuvieron un patrón de expresión diferente; el ARNm de OsIPPI1 fue más abundante que el ARNm de OsIPPI2 en todos los tejidos. Se usó la microscopía de fluorescencia confocal y microscopía inmunoelectrónica para determinar la localización de ambas proteínas. Estas se localizan en el retículo endoplásmico (RE), así como en los peroxisomas y las mitocondrias, mientras que solo se detectó OsIPPI2 en los plastidios. La detección de ambas isoformas en el RE indica que DMAPP se puede sintetizar de novo en este compartimiento. Diferentes técnicas como UPLC, GC-MS y qRT-PCR también se utilizaron para perfilar los metabolitos primarios y secundarios y la expresión génica en plántulas de arroz des-etioladas. Los resultados revelaron que los genes involucrados en la en el metabolismo primario y secundario están regulados por la luz, especialmente en la biosíntesis de isoprenoides en hojas de arroz. Once derivados de pelargonidina se identificaron en los pétalos de G. lutea y se perfilaron los genes de la vía de biosíntesis, revelando que DFR, ANS y 3GT afectan principalmente a la acumulación de los glucósidos de pelargonidina. Todos estos resultados contribuyen al conocimiento, a diferentes niveles, de la regulación de las rutas biosinteticas de los carotenoides en plantas superiores.
This thesis mainly focuses on functional analysis and characterization of a number of secondary metabolite biosynthetic genes and the regulation of the corresponding secondary metabolite biosynthetic pathway in plants. The overall aims were to elucidate the transcriptional regulation of β-carotene hydroxylase 2 gene (BCH2) in maize, the functional analysis of rice isopentenyl diphosphate isomerases (OsIPPI), and determine their subcellular localization. Simultaneously, the influence of light on the metabolic pathway in rice was studied and the pelargonidin quantification and essential pelargonidin biosynthesis genes in Gentiana lutea L. var. aurantiaca were identified. Maize and rice plants were transformed with transcription factor genes ZmMYB and ZmPBF, via transient gene expression and stable transformation respectively. The results indicated that both ZmPBF and ZmGAMYB can transactivate ZmBCH2 expression in maize endosperm and ZmPBF and ZmGAMYB independently transactivate the ZmBCH2 promoter in rice. The two IPPI paralogs (OsIPPI1 and OsIPPI2) isolated previously in rice had a different expression pattern; OsIPPI1 mRNA was more abundant than OsIPPI2 mRNA in all tissues. Confocal fluorescence microscopy and immuno-electron microscopy were used to determine the localization of both proteins. These localized to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) as well as peroxisomes and mitochondria, whereas only OsIPPI2 was detected in plastids. The detection of both isoforms in the ER indicates that DMAPP can be synthesized de novo in this compartment. UPLC, GC-MS and qRT-PCR were used to profile the primary and secondary metabolites and gene expression in de-etioleted rice seedlings. The results revealed both primary and secondary metabolism and the corresponding genes are regulated by light, especially isoprenoids biosynthesis in rice leaves. Eleven pelargonidin derivatives were identified in the petals of G. lutea and the biosynthetic pathway genes were profiled, revealing DFR, ANS and 3GT mainly affect the accumulation of pelargonidin glucosides. Collectively my results provide novel insights of the regulation of carotenoid and flavonoid biosynthesis in higher plants at different levels.

Resumo: A família Moraceae é extremamente bem representada em número de indivíduos e espécies em florestas neotropicais de baixa altitude. Entretanto, a maior parte das informações disponíveis sobre o grupo, até o presente, refere-se apenas as espécies de Ficus. São raros os trabalhos sobre a evolução dos caracteres presentes nas diferentes inflorescências que ocorrem na família, que, em alguns casos, estão entre as mais complexas dentro das Angiospermae, e as informações sobre o relacionamento filogenético infrafamiliar, assim como as delimitações de suas tribos, precisam ser enriquecidas com mais dados para serem melhor compreendidas. Neste contexto, foi desenvolvido o presente trabalho, que teve como objetivos o estudo da filogenia de Moraceae, especialmente, as neotropicais, a partir de dados moleculares do segmento trnL-F do cloroplasto e de 50 caracteres morfológicos; o levantamento e análise da evolução de caracteres relacionados às inflorescências do grupo, e a caracterização morfológica das tribos da família. Além da árvore filogenética gerada a partir das análises realizadas para desenvolvimento do presente trabalho, cladogramas disponíveis na literatura, gerados a partir de informações moleculares de outros segmentos gênicos, também foram utilizados para avaliação da delimitação das tribos de Moraceae e estudo da evolução dos caracteres analisados. Os resultados das análises realizadas permitiram a proposição de uma nova tribo, Maclureae; uma nova delimitação para as tribos Dorstenieae e Moreae, correntemente aceitas; a elaboração de uma chave de identificação; a caracterização morfológica de todas as tribos apresentadas, e inferências sobre a evolução de alguns caracteres reprodutivos. Além disso, o sistema reprodutivo das 278 espécies neotropicais foi inferido a partir da observação em campo de 40 espécies, entre essas 28 espécies arbóreas, indicando que monoicia é o sistema reprodutivos mais comum no grupo, seguido de dioicia e androdioicia. As inflorescências de Antiarideae (Castilleae) bem como estruturas associadas a elas receberam novas interpretações após estudos morfológicos
Abstract: The Moraceae family is extremely well represented in individual and species number, in lowland neotropical forests. However, the most expressive part of the available information about this group, up to now, refers to Ficus species. There are few studies focusing on character evolution of the different types of inflorescences in this family, which are, in some cases, among the most complexes in the Angiospermae; and information on within-family phylogenetic relationship, as well as its tribes¿s delimitation, must be enhanced with more data, in order to be better understood. The present work was developed bearing in mind this context and aiming i) the study of the Moraceae phylogeny, especially the neotropical species, using molecular data from the chloroplast trnL-F region and from 50 morphological data; ii) the cataloging and evolutionary analysis of characters related to inflorescences of this group, and iii) the morphological characterization of the tribes. In addition to the phylogenetic tree generated from analysis carried out for the development of the present work; cladograms available in the literature, based on information of different DNA segments, were also used to evaluate the delimitation of Moraceae tribes and to study the evolution of the analyzed characters. The results of the performed analysis allowed the proposition of a new tribe, Maclureae; a new delimitation of Dorstenieae and Moreae, currently accepted; the elaboration of an identification key; the morphological characterization of all depicted tribes, and inferences about the evolution of some reproductive characters. Additionally, the reproductive system of the 278 neotropical species was inferred from field observation of 40 species, 28 of which were tree species, indicating that monoecy is the most common reproductive system in the group, followed by dioecy and androdioecy. After morphological studies, Antirideae (Castilleae) inflorescences, as well as related structures, have received new interpretation

Esse trabalho tem como objetivo identificar o potencial das florestas nativas da Área de Proteção Ambiental – APA Corumbataí, Botucatu e Tejupá – perímetro Botucatu de fornecer recursos florestais para os usos medicinal e alimentício. A identificação das espécies nativas com usos medicinais e alimentícios ocorreu em duas fases. A primeira consiste em uma revisão de trabalhos científicos onde registram o uso (medicinal e alimentício) das espécies nativas encontradas na APA. E a segunda trata-se de um levantamento uso (medicinal e alimentício) das espécies nativas a partir do conhecimento dos proprietários rurais inseridos na APA. Para aquelas identificadas com esses usos foi calculado o valor potencial de exploração sustentável (VPES) para indicar se as espécies com tais usos podem ser exploradas sustentavelmente. O VPES foi avaliado para aquelas espécies que apresentaram freqüência de citação nas entrevistas maior ou igual a 40% e, também, para aquelas nativas na área da APA e que apresentam interesse em políticas públicas (Relação de espécies de interesse do SUS e a Lista de espécies nativas da sociobiodiversidade com valor alimentício). Na primeira fase, foram identificadas, na região da APA, 735 espécies nativas (de diferentes hábitos de crescimento), onde 219 espécies (30%) possuem o uso medicinal e 110 (15%) com o uso alimentício. No levantamento das espécies a partir do conhecimento dos proprietários rurais, foram identificadas 49 espécies, de 19 famílias diferentes, onde 65% dessas plantas possuem o uso como fonte de alimento, 28,6% como fonte de medicamento e 6% das plantas possuem os dois usos. Para ambas as fases, a família mais representativa, enquanto uso medicinal, foi a Fabaceae. Já para o uso alimentício, a mais representativa foi a Myrtaceae. E em relação ao VPES, 8 espécies atingiram o valor para serem exploradas sustentavelmente, porém muitas espécies que também poderiam ser exploradas não são por falta de pesquisas tanto sobre a sua produtividade quanto manejo.
This work aims to identify the potential of the native forests of the Environmental Protection Area - APA Corumbataí, Botucatu and Tejupá - Botucatu perimeter of natural resource management for medicinal and food uses.The identification of native species with medicinal and food uses occurred in two phases. The first one consists in a literature review of scientific studies where the use (medicinal and food) of the native species found in the APA is reported. The second phase is a survey of the use (medicinal and food) of the native species from the knowledge of the rural owners inserted in the APA. The potential value of sustainable exploitation (VPES) will be calculated to indicate whether species with such uses can be sustainably exploited.The VPES was evaluated for those Species that presented frequency of citation in interviews greater than or equal to 40% and also for those native to the area of the APA and that stand out in public policies (List of species of interest of the SUS and List of species Native of sociobiodiversity with food value). In the first part, 735 native species (different growth habits) were identified, where 219 species (30%) had medicinal use and 110 (15%) with alimentary uses. In the surveying of the species from the knowledge of the rural owners, 49 species were identified, from 19 different families, where 65% of these plants have their use as food source, 28.6% as a source of medicine, and 6% of the plants have both uses. For both phases, the most representative family, as medicinal use, was Fabaceae. On the other hand, within the alimentary use, the most representative was Myrtaceae. Regarding the VPES, 8 valuable exploitation species to be exploited in a sustainable way, however many species that are also exploited are not for lack of research on their production.

Resumo: Dichorisandra é o maior gênero da subtribo Dichorisandrinae, essencialmente neotropical e caracterizado pelas anteras de deiscência poricida ou rimosa e funcionalmente poricida e sementes ariladas. São ervas perenes, eretas ou escandentes, às vezes com folhas em rosetas próximas ao solo, ocupando, principalmente, o interior de matas. A última revisão de Dichorisandra tem mais de 110 anos e o objetivo principal do presente trabalho foi elaborar a revisão taxonômica do gênero, avaliando novas coletas e espécies que foram descritas desde então. O estudo taxonômico foi realizado a partir de material depositado em herbários nacionais e internacionais e provenientes de coletas principalmente dos Estados de Minas Gerais, Rio de Janeiro, Espírito Santo e Bahia. Os 63 binômios até então publicados foram reduzidos a 30 espécies. São propostas 24 sinonimizações novas e uma nova combinação. Também estão sendo propostas 24 espécies provenientes do Brasil (a maioria delas da Bahia), Panamá, Equador, Peru e Guiana Francesa. Além da revisão taxonômica, foi realizada a análise cladística do gênero Dichorisandra a partir de caracteres morfológicos e macromoleculares (trnL-F, rsp 16 e rpl 16) visando investigar as relações de parentesco entre as espécies e reavaliar o potencial de caracteres morfológicos na identificação de espécies. As matrizes foram analisadas sob o critério de parcimônia. Os clados não são fortemente sustentados na análise de 'bootstrap¿ e a extrema variação de caracteres morfológicos encontrada dentro do gênero demonstra a dificuldade na definição de grupos monofiléticos
Abstract: The neotropical genus Dichorisandra is the largest within the subtribe Dichorisandrinae, being characterized by its poricidal anthers (sometimes opening by slits but functionally poricidal) and its arillated seeds. The plants are perennial, herbaceous, sometimes with a leaf rosette close to the ground, and live mostly within forests. The last revision of the genus dates from over 110 years ago, and the present work aims to present an up-to-date revision for the genus, evaluating a large volume of new records, including the taxa described after fhe first revision was published. The taxonomic studies were based on material held in national and international herbaria and field work focussing the particularly species rich Brazilian states of Minas Gerais, Rio de Janeiro, Espírito Santo and Bahia. The 63 published names were reduced to 30 accepted species, and 24 synonymies and a new combination are proposed. Twenty four new species from Brasil (mostly from Bahia), Panama, Ecuador, Peru and French Guiana were discovered. Apart from the taxonomic revision, a cladistic analysis of the genus was performed with basis on morphologic and macromolecular characters (trnL-F intergenic spacer, rsp 16 and rpl 16 introns) aiming to investigate the species relationships and the re-evaluation of the morphological characters used to determine the species. The matrixes obtained were analyzed under the criterium of parcimony. The clades within the genus are not strongly supported in the 'bootstrap¿ analysis, as the extreme morphological variation found amongst and within species has made it very difficult to define monophyletic groups

Texto completo da fontePelargoniums have been studied extensively for their medicinal properties. P. reniforme and P. sidoides in particular are proven to possess antimicrobial, antifungal and antibiotic abilities due to their high antioxidant potential from compounds isolated from their tuberous roots. These plants have now been added to the medicine trade market and this is now causing concern for conservationists and they are generally harvested from the wild populations. This study evaluated the effect of water stress alone and in conjunction with arbuscular mycorrhiza on two species of Pelargoniums grown in a soilless medium. The experiment consisted of five different watering regimes which were applied to one hundred plants of each species without inoculation with arbuscular mycorrhiza and to one hundred plants of each species in conjunction with inoculation with AM. All the plants in the experiment were fed with a half-strength, standard Hoagland nutrient solution at varying rates viz. once daily to pot capacity, every three days to pot capacity, every six days to pot capacity, every twelve days to pot capacity and every twenty-four days to pot capacity. The objectives of the study were to measure the nutrient uptake, SPAD-502 levels (chlorophyll production) and metabolite (phenolics) formation of both species, grown under various rates of irrigation and water stress, as well with or without the addition of arbuscular mycorrhiza at planting out. Each treatment consisted of 10 replicates. SPAD-502 levels were measured weekly using a hand held SPAD-502 meter. Determination of nutrient uptake of macronutrients N, K, P, Ca, Mg and Na and micronutrients Cu, Zn, Mn, Al and B were measured from dry plant material at the end of the experiment by Bemlab, 16 Van Der Berg Crescent, Gants Centre, Strand. Plant growth in terms of wet and dry shoot and root weight were measured after harvest. Determination of concentrations of secondary metabolites (phenolic compounds) were assayed and measured spectrophotometrically at the end of the experiment. The highest significant reading of wet shoot weight for P. reniforme was taken in treatments 1 and 2 with and without mycorrhiza i.e. WF1, WF1M, WF2 and WF2M, with the highest mean found in WF1 with no mycorrhiza. This indicates that under high irrigation AM plays no part in plant growth, possibly due to leaching. More research is necessary in this regard. With regard to wet root weight, this was found to be not significant in any of the treatments, other than the longest roots being found in WF4. Measurements for dry root weight showed that WF1,2,3 and 5 were the most significant at P≤ 0.001 significance, with the highest weight found at treatment being WF3 and WF3M. The highest mean of shoot length of the plants was measured in treatment WF2 at moderate watering, but no statistical difference was found with water application and mycorrhiza addition. Nutrient uptake was increased in P. sidoides in all the different watering levels in the experiment except in the uptake of Mg. AM inoculation showed an increase in the uptake of Ca, while absorption of N occurred at higher water availability. K uptake was enhanced by the addition of AM in high water availability and K utilisation decreased as water stress increased. Medium to low watering resulted in higher leaf content in P. sidoides while the interaction between water availability and AM inoculation increased chlorophyll production towards the end of the experiment.

Pertencente à família Meliaceae, a espécie Trichilia catigua A. Juss é conhecida popularmente como catigua, cataguá, argelim-rosa e mangalto-catingam. Sua casca apresenta propriedades adstringente, inseticida, purgativa, tônica, bactericida, antiinflamatória e antidepressiva. Com o objetivo de propagar a espécie T. catigua foram desenvolvidos experimentos testando o enraizamento de estacas e a micropropagação com explantes de matrizes e sementes. Os experimentos de enraizamento de estacas foram realizados na primavera 2004, verão 2004/2005, outono, inverno e primavera 2005 e primavera 2006. Em todos os experimentos, estacas com aproximadamente 15 cm de comprimento foram coletadas de árvores adultas e preparadas da parte apical e mediana dos ramos. A seguir, foram submetidas aos reguladores vegetais IBA (ácido indolbutírico), NAA (ácido naftalenoacético) e IAA (ácido 3-indolacético), variando as dosagens. Para a avaliação dos experimentos determinou-se a percentagem de estacas enraizadas, não enraizadas e mortas e quando enraizadas, seu comprimento e diâmetro. No experimento primavera de 2004 foram testadas as concentrações de 1000 e 2000 mg L-1 dos reguladores vegetais IBA, NAA e IAA. As avaliações aos 90 dias após sua instalação revelaram maiores percentagens de enraizamento e iguais a 33,33, 25,00, 22,91 e 23,43 % para estacas submetidas a IBA 1000, 2000 mg L-1 e NAA 1000 e 2000 mg L-1, respectivamente. No verão 2004/2005, outono, inverno e primavera 2005 os experimentos foram conduzidos com as concentrações dos reguladores IBA, NAA e IAA iguais a 1000, 2000 e 3000 mg L-1 e as avaliações foram realizadas após 120 dias.

The Trichilia catigua A. Juss from the Meliaceae family is popularly known as catigua, cataguá, argelim-rose and mangalto-catingam. Its bark has astringent, insecticide, purgativa, tonic, bactericide, anti-inflammatory and antidepressant properties. With the aim of propagate T. catigua, experiments of rooting with stem cuttings and of micropropagation with explants of trees and seeds were carried out. In all the rooting experiments the stem cuttings with approximately 15 cm of length were collected from adult trees and prepared from the apical and intermediate parts. The cuttings were immersed in the vegetable regulators IBA (Indole-3- butyric acid), ANA (Naphthalene acetic acid) and IAA (Indole-3 acetic acid). The rooted stem cutting and not rooted stem cutting percentage and, when rooted, the length and diameter of roots, were evaluated. In the experiment spring 2004 the concentrations of 1000 and 2000 mg L-1 of IBA, ANA and IAA were tested, with evaluations 90 days after installation. The highest rooting percentage were 33,33, 25,00, 22,91 and 23,43% for IBA 1000, 2000 mg L-1 and ANA 1000 and 2000 mg L-1, respectively. In the summer of 2004/2005, autumn, winter and spring of 2005 IBA, ANA and AIA, with concentration of 1000, 2000 and 3000 mg L-1, were tested. The evaluation was carried out at 120 days. No rooting was observed in autumn and winter. The analysis of data from summer and spring showed higher rooting percentage in spring. The highest rooting percentage was obtained with IBA 3000 mg L-1 (19,17%). In the spring 2006 IBA (1000, 2000, 3000, 4000 and 5000 mg L-1) and ANA (1000, 2000, 3000 mg L-1) were tested. The highest rooting percentage (41,67%) was obtained with IBA 5000 mg L-1. In the in vitro cultivation, explantes obtained from trees were submitted to asepsis treatments with HgCl2, CaOCl2 and NaOCl and inoculated in Murashige & Skoog culture medium (MS) with 25%...

Texto completo da fontePhysalis pubescens L., ou camapu, é uma planta herbácea, cujos frutos são comestíveis e folhas, caules e raízes utilizados na medicina tradicional, contra diversas enfermidades. Como os estudos referentes a esta espécie são escassos o presente trabalho teve como objetivos: 1) avaliar os aspectos agronômicos de plantas cultivadas por diferentes métodos e substratos, 2) descrever anatomicamente as principais estruturas da plantas e 3) detectar a presença de compostos de interesse do metabolismo secundário. Para tanto, no primeiro ensaio foram avaliadas plantas produzidas a partir de sementes e estacas herbáceas. Como substratos foram utilizados: (SA) Solo + areia; (SV) Solo + vermiculita; (SP) Solo + Plantmax; (SAV); Solo + areia + vermiculita e (S) Solo. Foram avaliados os comprimentos da parte aérea e da maior raiz; área foliar; massas fresca e seca das folhas, caules e raízes; e volume radicular. O delineamento experimental utilizado foi inteiramente casualizado, em um esquema fatorial de 2x5, com 10 repetições por tratamento. No segundo ensaio, folhas, caules e flores foram submetidos a cortes paradérmicos e transversais, fixados em FAA 70%, armazenados em etanol a 70% e posteriormente, analisados por microscopia ótica e eletrônica de varredura. No terceiro ensaio, folhas oriundas de plantas cultivadas em vasos mantidos em casa de vegetação foram secas, moídas e extraídas com hexano. O resíduo seco hexânico foi aplicado em coluna cromatográfica, tendo como solventes de partição diclorometano, acetato de etila, metanol e água destilada. As frações foram submetidas à cromatografia em camada delgada (TLC) e ressonância magnética de prótons (RMN 1H). O extrato bruto foi submetido à cromatografia a gás acoplada à espectrometria de massas (CG/EM). Para o primeiro ensaio observou-se interação significativa entre os fatores substrato e método de propagação somente para massa fresca e seca dos caules, com destaque para o método estaquia e os substratos S, SA, SP. Para as demais variáveis não foram constatadas diferenças significativas. Em relação aos aspectos anatômicos constatou-se que P. pubescens apresenta lâmina foliar hipoestomática, mesófilo com a presença de drusas; idioblastos de areia cristalina dispersos aleatoriamente pelo pecíolo, e tricomas glandulares e eglandulares ao longo de toda a lâmina foliar, caule, pecíolo e pétalas. O estudo fitoquímico por CG/EM revelou a possível presença do alcalóide epistefamiersina (86% de probabilidade); também foram observados as presenças de cumarinas, fisalinas, óleo essencial, saponinas, triterpenóides e taninos por TLC, além de triterpenos e compostos aromáticos de baixa intensidade por RMN 1H. Diante destes resultados, conclui-se que P. pubescens possui características anatômicas que auxiliam a diferenciá-la das demais espécies do gênero, e que a mesma sintetiza uma grande variedade de metabólitos secundários, com a estaquia sendo o melhor método de propagação, independente do tipo de substrato.
Physalis pubescens L., or Winter Cherry, is a herbaceous plant, whose fruits are edible and the leaves, stems and roots used in traditional medicine against various diseases. As the studies for this species are scarce this study aimed to 1) assess the agronomic features of crops grown by different methods and substrates, 2) describe the main anatomical structures of plants and 3) the presence of compounds of interest secondary metabolism. For this, the first trials were evaluated plants grown from seed and cuttings. The substrates were used: (SA) Soil + sand; (SV) Soil + vermiculite, (SP) Soil + Plantmax; (SAV) Soil + sand + vermiculite and (S) Soil. We evaluated the length of shoot and main root, leaf area, fresh and dry weight of leaves, stems and roots and root volume. The experimental design was completely randomized in a factorial scheme 2x5, with 10 replicates per treatment. In the second trial leaves, stems and flowers were sectioned transverse paradermic and fixed in FAA 70%, stored in 70% ethanol and subsequently analyzed by optical microscopy and scanning electron microscopy. In the third essay leaves from plants grown in pots in a greenhouse, were dried and extracted with hexane. The hexanic dry residue was applied to the extraction chromatographic column, and as solvents for the partition dichloromethane, ethyl acetate, methanol and distilled water. The fractions were subjected to thin layer chromatography (TLC) and proton magnetic resonance (NMR 1H). The crude extract was subjected to gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC / MS). For the first test there was significant interaction between the factors substrate and method of propagation only for fresh and dry weight of stems, especially the cutting method and the substrate S, SA, SP. For the other variables were not significantly different. Regarding the anatomy it was found that P. pubescens leaf presents hypostomatic mesophyll with the presence of drusen, crystalline sand idioblasts scattered randomly around the petiole, and glandular and eglandular throughout the leaf, stem, petiole and flower petals. Phytochemical study by GC / MS revealed the possible presence of alkali epistephamiersine (86% probability) were also observed the presence of coumarins, physalins, essential oil, saponins, triterpenoids and tannins by TLC, and triterpenes and aromatic compounds of low NMR 1H intensity. Given these results it is concluded that P.pubescens has anatomical features that help differentiate it from other species of the genus, and that it synthetizes a wide variety of secondary metabolites also that the cutting is the best method of propagation, independent of substrate type.

Texto completo da fonteAuxin regulates plant growth and development through the transcription factors of the AUXIN RESPONSE FACTOR (ARF) gene family. Most notably in Arabidopsis thaliana ARF5, 6, 7, 8 and 19 activate expression of target genes in response to auxin. These five ARF activators control both variable and overlapping processes during plant development including regulation of growth at the root and the shoot apical meristems, lateral root and axillary shoot formation. Each of the five ARF activators shows unique tissue-specific expression patterns in the root and the shoot associated with their distinct functions. This tissue-specific expression is likely derived from the differences in the control of ARF activator transcription. In this study the upstream regulators of ARF5, 6, 7, 8 and 19 transcription were identified. This was achieved by utilizing a high-throughput yeast one-hybrid (Y1H) method. The transient protoplast assay revealed that each ARF activator is controlled by specific transcriptional regulators and that the majority of these regulators are repressors of ARF transcription in planta. Mutants of the regulatory transcription factors were utilized to additionally investigate the interactions in planta. These mutants display auxin-related developmental phenotypes in the root and the shoot including alternations in growth kinetics, emergence of lateral organs, responses to auxin and altered expression of ARF activators. Furthermore, this study additionally focuses on cross-talk between the auxin and cytokinin signaling pathways and its role in root and shoot development. One of the interactions identified in the Y1H screen is a repression of ARF7 by CRF10, a member of the Cytokinin Response Factors gene family. The importance of this interaction in maintaining architecture of the root apical meristem, in leaf senescence and in the phototropic response to blue light in hypocotyls is studied

Texto completo da fonteLas especies invasoras son aquellas que transportadas e introducidas por el ser humano en lugares fuera de su área de distribución natural, han conseguido establecerse y dispersarse en la región de destino. Las especies invasoras pueden producir cambios en las poblaciones de las especies nativas e incluso conducir a su extinción local. Las comunidades invadidas por plantas exóticas pueden sufrir diversos impactos, siendo la competencia por los recursos ambientales, los cambios en las propiedades del suelo o en el régimen de perturbaciones los más estudiados. Sin embargo, los efectos sobre otros niveles tróficos han recibido menos atención, aunque cada vez hay más estudios referentes al efecto sobre los herbívoros y los mutualismos. La mayoría de estudios sobre el impacto de las plantas invasoras en las interacciones de polinización han considerado interacciones entre pares de especies. Dado que las plantas suelen interactuar con varios polinizadores y los polinizadores visitar varias especies de plantas, las especies invasoras tienen el potencial de perturbar, no sólo interacciones puntuales, sino toda la red de interacciones. No obstante, se ha realizado poca investigación sobre las repercusiones de las invasiones a nivel de toda la comunidad de polinizadores y plantas. Esta tesis estudia la forma en que los sistemas de plantas y polinizadores se ven afectados por especies de plantas invasoras. Hemos estudiado tres especies de plantas invasoras, Carpobrotus aff acinaciformis, Opuntia stricta e Impatiens glandulifera para caracterizar su integración e impactos sobre la red de interacciones nativa. Los polinizadores nativos, sobre todo aquellos con un espectro de visitas generalistas, proporcionan una vía de integración para las plantas invasoras. Tanto C. acinaciformis como O. stricta dependen de los polinizadores para la reproducción sexual en el área de introducción, aunque C. acinaciformis se ve levemente limitado por el polen. La competencia por los polinizador con las plantas nativas depende de la especie estudiada, así, encontramos competencia con O. stricta, facilitación con C. acinaciformis y no encontramos un efecto en I. glandulifera. En el caso de existir facilitación por las visitas, hemos visto que el polen invasor tiene muy pocas posibilidades de interferir en la reproducción de las plantas nativas al depositarse en muy baja frecuencia en los estigmas de las especies nativas. Finalmente, cuando evaluamos la importancia del paisaje en I. glandulifera, los efectos producidos por la invasión resultan ser independientes del los efectos del paisaje. Las redes planta-polinizador son complejas e involucran una gran cantidad de interacciones, por eso es difícil predecir el impacto de las especies invasoras. Sin embargo, el hecho de que las tres plantas estudiadas estén causando importantes cambios sobre las redes invadidas indica lo importante que es tener en cuenta sus efectos tanto para comprender para la biología de las interacciones mutualistas, como para futuras estrategias de conservación.
Invasive species are species transported and introduced by humans outside their natural range. This species are established and dispersed in the new habitats. Invasive species can produce changes in native species populations and even lead to its local extinction. Invaded communities can suffer different impacts, like competition for environmental resources, changes in soil properties or in the disturbance regime. However, the effects on other trophic levels have received less attention. Most studies on the impact of invasive plants and its interactions with pollinators have only considered interactions between pairs of species. Since plants tend to interact with several pollinators and the pollinators visit several species of plants, invasive species have the potential to disrupt not only particular interactions, but the entire network of interactions. However, there has been little research on the impact of invasions in the community of pollinators and plants. This thesis explores how the systems of plants and pollinators are affected by invasive plant species. We studied three invasive species, Carpobrotus aff acinaciformis, Opuntia stricta and Impatiens glandulifera to characterize their integration and impacts on the network of native interactions. The native pollinators, especially generalists, provide an integration way for invasive plants. Both C. acinaciformis and O. stricta depend on pollinators for sexual reproduction in the introduced area. However, C. acinaciformis is slightly limited by pollen. The competition for pollinators with native plants depends on the context, thus, we found competition processes with O. stricta, facilitation with C. acinaciformis and we did not find any effects on I. glandulifera. In the case of C. acinaciformis that facilitated visits to natives, we saw that the invasive pollen has very little chance of interfering with the reproduction of native plants and is deposited in very low frequency in the stigmas of native species. Finally, when we evaluate the importance of the landscape context in I. glandulifera, the impact of the invasion appear to be independent from the effects of the landscape. Plant-pollinator networks are complex and involve large numbers of interactions, so it is difficult to predict the impact of invasive species. However, the fact that the three studied plants produce major changes in the networks is very significant.
Les espècies invasores són aquelles que transportades i introduïdes per l'ésser humà en llocs fora de la seva àrea de distribució natural, han aconseguit establir-se i dispersar-se en la regió de destinació. Les espècies invasores poden produir canvis en les poblacions de les espècies nadives i fins i tot conduir a la seva extinció local. Les comunitats envaïdes per plantes exòtiques poden sofrir diversos impactes, sent la competència pels recursos ambientals, els canvis en les propietats del sòl o en el règim de pertorbacions els més estudiats. No obstant això, els efectes sobre altres nivells trófics han rebut menys atenció, encara que cada vegada hi ha més estudis referents a aquest efecte sobre els herbívors i els mutualismes. La majoria d'estudis sobre l'impacte de les plantes invasores en les interaccions amb els polinitzadors han considerat interaccions entre parells d'espècies. Atès que les plantes solen interactuar amb diversos polinizadors i els polinizadors visitar diverses espècies de plantes, les espècies invasores tenen el potencial de pertorbar, no només interaccions puntuals, sinó tota la xarxa d'interaccions. No obstant això, s'ha realitzat poca investigació sobre les repercussions de les invasions a nivell de tota la comunitat de polinizadors i plantes. Aquesta tesi estudia la forma que els sistemes de plantes i polinizadores es veuen afectats per espècies de plantes invasores. Hem estudiat tres espècies invasores, Carpobrotus aff acinaciformis, Opuntia stricta i Impatiens glandulifera per caracteritzar la seva integració i impactes sobre la xarxa d'interaccions nadiva. Els polinizadors nadius, sobretot aquells amb un espectre de visites generalistes, proporcionen una via d'integració per a les plantes invasores. Tant C. acinaciformis com O. stricta depenen dels polinizadors per a la reproducció sexual en l'àrea d'introducció, encara que C. acinaciformis es veu lleument limitat pel pol·len. La competència pels polinizadors amb les plantes nadives depèn de l'espècie estudiada, així, vam trobar competència amb O. stricta, facilitacio amb C. acinaciformis i no trobem un efecte en I. glandulifera. En el cas d'existir facilitació per les visites, hem vist que el pol·len invasor té molt poques possibilitats d'interferir en la reproducció de les plantes nadives al dipositar- se en molt baixa freqüència en els estigmes de les espècies nadives. Finalment, quan vam avaluar la importància del paisatge sobre comunitats envaïdes per I. glandulifera, els efectes produïts per la invasió resulten ser independents de l'els efectes del paisatge. Les xarxes planta-polinizador són complexes i involucren una gran quantitat d'interaccions, per això és dificil predir l'impacte de les espècies invasores. De tota manera, el fet que les tres plantes estudiades produeixin importants canvis en aquestes xarxes és molt significatiu.

Texto completo da fonteNär elproduktionen från förnybara källor ökar krävs högre flexibilitet av fossil bränsleproduktion för att hantera fluktuationerna från sol- och vindkraft. Detta resulterar i kortare driftscykler och brantare ramper för turbinerna och mer osäkerhet för operatörerna. Detta avhandlingsarbete tillämpar matematisk optimering och statistisk inlärning för att förbättra det ekonomiska utnyttjandet av en kombicykel i ett kraftverk som består av två separata block med två gasturbiner och en ångturbin. Målet är att minimera bränsleförbrukningen hos gasturbinerna samtidigt som man tar hänsyn till en serie av villkor relaterade till efterfrågan som anläggningen står inför, kraftproduktionsbegränsningar etc. Detta uppnås genom skapandet av en matematisk modell för anläggningen som reglerar hur anläggningen kan fungera. Modellen är sedan optimerad för minsta möjliga bränsleförbrukning. Maskinteknik har använts på sensor data från själva anläggningen för att realistiskt simulera turbinernas beteende. In och utdata kurvor har erhållits för kraftproduktion och avgasvärmeproduktion med hjälp av ordinary least squares (OLS) med månads data och med en tio minuters samplingshastighet. Modellen är korsvaliderad och bevisad statistiskt giltig. Optimeringsproblemet formuleras genom en generaliserad disjunktiv programmering i form av ett mixed-integer linear problem (MILP) och löses med hjälp av en Branch-and-Bound algoritm. Resultatet från modellen är en veckas värden, med femton minuters intervall, totalt i två månader. Lägre bränsleförbrukning uppnås med hjälp av optimeringsmodellen, med en vecka minskad bränsleförbrukning i intervallet 2-4%. En känslighetsanalys och en korrelationsmatris används för att visa efterfrågan och den maximala tillgängliga kapaciteten som kritiska parametrar. Resultaten visar att de mest effektiva maskinerna (alternativt de med högsta tillgängliga kapacitet) bör drivas med maximal belastning medan de fortfarande strävar efter ett effektivt utnyttjande av avgaserna.

Resumo: O crescimento e o desenvolvimento dos vegetais é conseqüência de vários processos fisiológicos controlados pelas condições ambientais e características genéticas de cada espécie vegetal. Este estudo teve por objetivo caracterizar o comportamento ecofisiológico da transpiração (E) e condutância estomática (Gs) de dois clones de Eucalyptus grandis x Eucalyptus urophylla (C041 e P4295) sob diferentes condições de disponibilidade hídrica no solo e em função de variáveis ambientais como radiação global (Rg), radiação fotossinteticamente ativa (Qleaf) e déficit de pressão de vapor da atmosfera (DPV). As aferições foram realizadas ao longo do período de fevereiro de 2007 a agosto de 2008 em três escalas de estudo designadas como vaso, parcela e bacia hidrográfica. Medidas de potencial hídrico antemanhã (?pd) foram realizadas para o acompanhamento das disponibilidades hídricas no solo. Após o conhecimento do comportamento ecofisiológico dos clones em função das variáveis ambientais e ?pd, buscou-se relacionar as respostas obtidas na escala vaso com as escalas parcela e bacia hidrográfica por meio de modelos ecofisiológicos desenvolvidos para a mudança de escala ao nível de folha. De acordo com os resultados, as variáveis ecofisiológicas estiveram diretamente associadas às variáveis ambientais e ao ?pd tanto para o clone C041 quanto para o clone P4295. Foram observados entre os clones comportamentos ecofisiológicos distintos quando associados à Qleaf, DPV e ?pd. Os clones apresentaram-se diferentes na amplitude de resposta de E e Gs em função de Qleaf e DPV entre as escalas, porém, observou-se a mesma tendência de comportamento, com exceção da relação Gs x DPV para o clone C041, entre escala vaso e parcela/bacia hidrográfica. Os modelos propostos para a mudança de escala de folha para folha mostraram-se satisfatórios, principalmente nas relações envolvendo a radiação fotossinteticamente ativa. Contudo, não apresentaram bons resultados para a extrapolação das respostas ecofisiológicas de Gs em função do DPV
Abstract: The growth and development of plants is a consequence of several physiological processes controlled by environmental conditions and genetic characteristics of each plant species. This study aimed to characterize the ecophysiological behavior of transpiration (E) and stomatal conductance (Gs) of two clones of Eucalyptus grandis x urophylla (C041 and P4295) under different soil water conditions and according to environmental variables such as global radiation (Rg), photosynthetic active radiation (Qleaf) and a vapor pressure deficit of the atmosphere (VPD). The measurements were performed during the period February 2007 to August 2008 on three scales of study designated as a pot, plot and watershed. Predawn leaf water potential (?pd) measurements were performed to monitor water availability in the soil. After the knowledge of the ecophysiological behavior of the clones on the basis of environmental variables and ?pd, sought to link the responses obtained in the pots scale with pot and watershed through ecophysiological models developed for scaling up leaf from leaf. According to the results, the ecophysiological behavior were directly associated with environmental variables and the ?pd both to the C041 as for P4295. Were observed among different clones ecophysiological behavior when associated with Qleaf, VPD and ?pd. The clones were different in amplitude of E and Gs as function of Qleaf and VPD between the scales, however, showed the same pattern of behavior, except for Gs x VPD for clone C041 between pot and plot / watershed scale. The proposed models for the scaling up from leaf to leaf were satisfactory, especially in relationships involving the Qleaf. However, they not provided good results for the extrapolation of ecophysiological responses of Gs as a function of VPD

Variação intra-específica na fenologia de espécies de sub-bosque de Floresta Atlântica e sua relação com variáveis microambientais - Fatores abióticos, como a umidade relativa, temperatura e luz, influenciam o estabelecimento, desenvolvimento e reprodução das espécies vegetais florestais. Entretanto é necessária a coleta de parâmetros estruturais, microclimáticos e microambientais para a caracterização dos ambientes nos quais as plantas se desenvolvem. Neste contexto, o presente trabalho objetivou avaliar a influência de fatores do microambiente na resposta fenológica de espécies vegetais componentes do sub-bosque de floresta Atlântica, em Ubatuba, SP. Procuramos responder as seguintes perguntas: i) As plantas de sub-bosque podem ser agrupadas em relação aos ambientes de luz: borda natural, clareira e interior sombreado da floresta?; ii) Existem variações intra-específicas na fenologia das espécies de sub-bosque de Floresta Atlântica de acordo com o ambiente de luz em que foram agrupadas?; iii) A intensidade das respostas fenológicas (número de estruturas reprodutivas produzidas) está relacionada aos locais de luz?; iv) Outras condições microclimáticas, como temperatura e umidade relativa, e microambientais, como a densidade da vegetação, também influenciam a fenologia das espécies? Para tanto a fenologia e a produção de estruturas reprodutivas de quatro espécies abundantes do sub-bosque foram acompanhadas de janeiro de 2009 a abril de 2010. Indivíduos foram selecionados em ambientes previamente determinados como borda natural (beira de rio), clareira e interior de floresta atlântica. Medidas periódicas das variáveis microclimáticas (temperatura, umidade relativa, PAR) e microambiental (abertura do dossel) próximas aos indivíduos amostrados foram realizadas. Medidas estruturais...
Phenological intraspecific variation of Atlantic Forest understory species and its relation to microenvironmental variables - Abiotic factors such as humidity, temperature and light influence the establishment, development and reproduction of forest plant species. However, it is necessary to collect structural, microclimatic and microenvironmental parameters to characterize the environments in which plants grow. In this context, this study evaluated the influence of the microenvironment in the phenological response of understory plant species components of the Atlantic Forest in Ubatuba, São Paulo State. We tried to answer the following questions: i) Can the understory species be grouped in relation to natural edge, gaps and interior microenvironments? ii) Do exist intraspecific variations in the phenology of understory species of Atlantic forest in accordance with the light environment in which they were grouped? iii) Do the intensity of phenological responses (number of reproductive structures produced) related to local condictions of light?; iv) Do other microclimatic (such as temperature and relative humidity) and microenvironmental (density vegetation) conditions also influence the phenology of species? The phenology and reproductive structures production of four abundant species of the understory were followed from January 2009 to April 2010. Individuals were selected in environments previously determined as natural edge (riverside), gap and interior. We performed periodic measurements of microclimatic (temperature, relative humidity and PAR) and microenvironmental variables (canopy openness) near the sampled individuals. Structural measures (CAS, CAP, plant height, crown height from the ground and crown size) and microenvironment characterization (canopy height, understory vertical density, distance...

Texto completo da fonteFirst, it was shown that the studies on calcium mediation of cold acclimation in alfalfa cell suspension cultures could be applied to intact seedlings of Arabidopsis. Calcium chelators and channel blockers caused a strong reduction in the cold-induced accumulation of kin1 and kin2 transcripts, suggesting that calcium influx was an essential event during cold signaling and that the source of calcium for this influx was largely the calcium-rich cell wall. Evidence suggesting the involvement of calcium-dependent protein kinases (CDPKs) was also obtained.
Second, the nature of events upstream of calcium influx was explored. For this study, transgenic Brassica napus seedlings possessing both the endogenous cold-inducible BN115 gene and the coding part of beta-glucuronidase (GUS) gene placed under the control of the BN115 promoter were used. Thus cold-activation of the BN115 promoter drove the expression of both BN115 at the transcriptional level and the GUS enzyme activity at the translational level. Cold-activation of BN115 was inhibited by chemicals which cause membrane fluidization, cytoskeletal stabilization and inhibition of Ca2+ influx, and mimicked at 25°C by chemicals causing membrane rigidification, cytoskeletal destabilization and Ca2+ influx. Inhibitors of protein and lipid kinases prevented cold-activation of BN115, but inhibition of protein phosphatases activated BN115 at 25°C.
Third, given the increasing importance of mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) in signal transduction, the nature of molecular mechanisms that lead to cold-activation of a previously reported MAPK, SAMK, was investigated. During this study, the first plant MAPK activated by heat shock was discovered and named HAMK (Heat-shock-activated MAPK). It was shown that cold-activation of SAMK is mediated by cold-induced membrane rigidification, whereas the heat shock-activation of HAMK occurs through heat shock-induced membrane fluidization. Whereas activation of both SAMK and HAMK is blocked by an actin microfilament stabilizer, it is mimicked at 25°C by chemical destabilizers of microtubules or actin microfilaments. All of these events are inhibited by blocking the influx of extracellular Ca 2+. Cold-activation of SAMK and heat-activation of HAMK was prevented by treatment of cells with inhibitors of CDPKs. Thus, cold and heat shock are sensed by structural changes in the plasma membrane, which transduces the signal via cytoskeletal rearrangements to the opening of calcium channels, leading to Ca2+ influx, activation of CDPKs and activation of distinct MAPK cascades.
