Micropropagação de alpínia [Alpinia purpurata (Vieill.) Schum] e sorvete (Zingiber spectabile Griff.) - Zingiberaceae: duas espécies ornamentais tropicais.
Aspectos da associação micorrízica em plantas forrageiras (Bauhinia cheilanta e Dolichos lablab - Fabacea): simbiose e eficiência no crescimento vegetal sob condições semi-áridas.
Os objetivos desse trabalho foram avaliar a condição micorrízica e identificar espécies de FMA presentes nas rizosfera das plantas forrageiras: mororó (Bauhinia cheilanta) e lablab (Dolichos lablab), em condições semi-áridas, e selecionar espécies de FMA eficientes em promover a sobrevivência, o crescimento e o teor nutricional de plantas forrageiras em dois tipos de solo representativos da região do vale do submédio São Francisco
Fungos micorrízicos arbusculares na rizosfera de plantas de mata ciliar do rio São Francisco, na região do vale do São Francisco.
Acclimatization of Tapeinochilos ananassae plantlets in association with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi.
The objective of this work was to assess the potential of three isolates of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi to promote growth of micropropagated plantlets of Tapeinochilos ananassae during acclimatization. The experiment was carried out in greenhouse, in a completely randomized block design, with four inoculation treatments: non-inoculated control and plants inoculated with Glomus etunicatum, Acaulospora longula or Gigaspora albida, with ten replicates. After 90 days, the following parameters were evaluated: survival rate, height, leaf and tiller number, leaf area, fresh and dry biomass, contents of macro- and micronutrients in the root and shoot, glomerospore number, and mycorrhizal colonization. The survival percentage was 100%, except for plants inoculated with G. albida (80%). The isolate G. etunicatum is more suitable for plant development, since it improves survival, growth, dry matter production, nutritional status, and vigor of T. ananassae micropropagated plants
Immature embryo rescue and in vitro development evaluation of intraspecific hybrids from Brazilian seedless grapevine Superior × Thompson clones.
The fruit production for export is an economically significant activity in the Valley of São Francisco River, especially in the irrigated lands of Petrolina-PE/Juazeiro-BA, Brazil. The development of new genetic material most suitable to the tropical climate and the demands of the consumer market have led to the selection of new seedless grapes cultivars. In this case, the use of the embryo rescue technique has produced satisfactory results for obtaining such materials, especially in the semiarid region. This study aimed to evaluate the in vitro development of intraspecific hybrids of grapevine (Vitis vinifera L.), derived from the rescue of immature embryos resultant from the crossing of Superior Seedless and Thompson Seedless Brazilian clones. To establish and develop the cultivation, the culture media was supplemented with 30 g/L sucrose, 0.1 g/L myo-inositol, 0.002 g/L glycine, 0.1 mg/L indoleacetic acid (IAA), 6.5 g/L of agar, adjusted pH to 5.7. The experiment was evaluated after 90 days. The variables measured were: number of nodes, number of leaves, plant height (cm), number of roots and length (cm) of the root system and internodes. The period of 60 days of in vitro culture of ovules resulted in the highest values of embryos (about 50%), as well as better characterized developmental stages with higher germination (47.3%). The three types of hybrid grapes evaluated in micropropagation showed very similar values of the measured parameters, even having originated from embryos of different developmental stages
Ultracold heteronuclear molecules and ferroelectric superfluids
We analyze the possibility of a ferroelectric transition in heteronuclear
molecules consisting of Bose-Bose, Bose-Fermi or Fermi-Fermi atom pairs. This
transition is characterized by the appearance of a spontaneous electric
polarization below a critical temperature. We discuss the existence of a
ferroelectric Fermi liquid phase for Fermi molecules and the existence of a
ferroelectric superfluid phase for Bose molecules characterized by the
coexistence of ferroelectric and superfluid orders. Lastly, we propose an
experiment to detect ferroelectric correlations through the observation of
coherent dipole radiation pulses during time of flight.Comment: 4 pages and 3 figure
