Growth and mineral nutrition of banana seedlings cv. Grand Naine inoculated with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi

This study aimed to verify the influence of FMAs on the levels of macro and micronutrients, and growth of micropropagated banana seedlings submitted to doses of P. The experimental design adopted was randomized blocks, in a 5 x 5 factorial arrangement, with factors inoculation with AMFs (G. clarum, G. margarita, G. albida and C. etunicatum and the control without AMF) and P doses (0, 50, 100, 200 and 400 mg kg-1). The association of different species of FMAs can favor the growth of banana seedlings, with greater nutrition. The application of P doses provided greater growth of the micropropagated banana seedlings, regardless of inoculation with AMF. Seedling production associated with G. margarita can favor the growth of plants submitted to low doses of P applied to the soil. The interaction of G. clarum with Musa spp. seedling production does not seem to favor plant growth. Mycorrhizal colonization together with phosphate fertilization contributed to the quality of banana seedlings. The inoculation with C. etunicatum favored the increase of K contents in the aerial part of the plants. The increase in P doses decreased the levels of N and S in all treatments. It caused a reduction in the leaf contents of Mn, B and Fe. The doses of P did not interfere in the leaf contents of Cu and Zn. The FMAs favored the levels of Cu, Zn, Mn and B in banana leaves; favored the increments of Cu, Fe, Zn and Mn contents in banana seedlings, varying with the doses of P.This study aimed to verify the influence of FMAs on the levels of macro and micronutrients, and growth of micropropagated banana seedlings submitted to doses of P.

Design and baseline characteristics of the finerenone in reducing cardiovascular mortality and morbidity in diabetic kidney disease trial

Background: Among people with diabetes, those with kidney disease have exceptionally high rates of cardiovascular (CV) morbidity and mortality and progression of their underlying kidney disease. Finerenone is a novel, nonsteroidal, selective mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist that has shown to reduce albuminuria in type 2 diabetes (T2D) patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) while revealing only a low risk of hyperkalemia. However, the effect of finerenone on CV and renal outcomes has not yet been investigated in long-term trials. Patients and Methods: The Finerenone in Reducing CV Mortality and Morbidity in Diabetic Kidney Disease (FIGARO-DKD) trial aims to assess the efficacy and safety of finerenone compared to placebo at reducing clinically important CV and renal outcomes in T2D patients with CKD. FIGARO-DKD is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group, event-driven trial running in 47 countries with an expected duration of approximately 6 years. FIGARO-DKD randomized 7,437 patients with an estimated glomerular filtration rate >= 25 mL/min/1.73 m(2) and albuminuria (urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio >= 30 to <= 5,000 mg/g). The study has at least 90% power to detect a 20% reduction in the risk of the primary outcome (overall two-sided significance level alpha = 0.05), the composite of time to first occurrence of CV death, nonfatal myocardial infarction, nonfatal stroke, or hospitalization for heart failure. Conclusions: FIGARO-DKD will determine whether an optimally treated cohort of T2D patients with CKD at high risk of CV and renal events will experience cardiorenal benefits with the addition of finerenone to their treatment regimen.

FENOLOGIA DE QUALEA PARVIFLORA MART. (VOCHYSIACEAE) EM UM REMANESCENTE DE CERRADO SENSU STRICTO

O objetivo desse estudo foi avaliar as fenofases vegetativas (queda de folhas e brotamento) e reprodutivas (floração e frutificação) de dezoito indivíduos de Q. parviflora localizados em uma área de cerrado sensu stricto na fazenda da Universidade Estadual de Mato Grosso do Sul, no município de Aquidauana, MS. As observações foram realizadas quinzenalmente, no período de agosto de 2010 a julho de 2012. Para o cálculo das porcentagens de cada fenofase seguimos a metodologia proposta por Fournier (1974). Utilizamos a correlação de Spearman (P&lt;0,05) para verificar relação entre variáveis climáticas e as fenofases da espécie. A população mostrou elevada sincronia dentro de cada fenofase e apresentou um padrão fenológico sazonal. O brotamento teve ocorrência no final da estação seca, logo após a queda de folhas que ocorreu ao longo do período seco. A floração coincidiu com o início das chuvas, logo após os eventos vegetativos. A deiscência dos frutos e a dispersão das sementes ocorreram no final da estação seca. Em geral, as fenofases correlacionaram-se com todas as variáveis climáticas estudadas. Considerando que o cerrado é um bioma ameaçado devido as frequentes queimadas e a exploração de seus recursos naturais, os dados aqui apresentados colaboram para a elaboração de futuros projetos de recuperação ambiental desse bioma

Produção de mudas de melancia em diferentes ambientes e de frutos a campo

A melancia ocupa lugar de destaque entre as principais olerícolas produzidas e consumidas no Brasil e, na olericultura, a produção de mudas em ambientes protegidos é a metodologia mais utilizada. O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar o desempenho dos cultivares de melancia "Crimson Sweet" e "Fairfax" na produção de mudas, em ambiente protegido, e de frutos, em condições de campo, na região do cerrado sul-mato-grossense. Na fase de mudas, o experimento foi conduzido em três ambientes protegidos. Cada ambiente foi considerado um experimento, conduzido no delineamento inteiramente casualizado, com seis repetições. Em seguida, realizou-se a análise conjunta. No campo, o delineamento utilizado foi o de blocos casualizados, com quatro repetições. Os dados foram submetidos à análise de variância e, as médias, ao teste de Tukey. As melhores mudas foram formadas na estufa plástica. O cultivar "Fairfax" apresentou mudas de melhor qualidade. No campo, os cultivares apresentaram frutos com diâmetros e biomassas similares

Avaliação sensorial e preferência de cultivares de goiabeiras vermelhas na região de Aquidauana-MS

Objetivou-se avaliar através da análise sensorial a preferência dos frutos dos cultivares de goiabeira vermelha, Novo Milênio, Pedro Sato, Sassaoka e Paluma, em Aquidauana - MS. As amostras foram submetidas ao teste sensorial por meio dos atributos ‘cor da polpa’, ‘aroma’, ‘textura’, ‘sabor’ e ‘avaliação geral’, utilizando-se uma escala hedônica de nove pontos, e ‘intenção de compra’ uma escala estruturada de cinco pontos. Realizou-se análises de pH, acidez titulável e sólidos solúveis totais (ºBrix) e ratio. As amostras foram fornecidas a quarenta e cinco provadores, que incluíam alunos e servidores da Universidade. Os cultivares receberam avaliações satisfatórias para os atributos estudados. Os cv. Paluma e Novo Milênio foram os melhores nos teste de aceitação e intenção de compra
