Desempenho de populações híbridas F2 de arroz-vermelho (Oryza sativa) com arroz transgênico (O. sativa) resistente ao herbicida amonio-glufosinate

O arroz-vermelho e o arroz-preto constituem-se nas principais plantas daninhas infestantes da cultura de arroz irrigado, devido à dificuldade de controle seletivo desta espécie em lavouras comerciais. A utilização de cultivares geneticamente modificados resistentes a herbicidas não-seletivos constitui uma alternativa de controle do arroz-vermelho e arroz-preto em arroz irrigado. O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar o comportamento de populações híbridas F2 originárias do cruzamento entre o arroz transgênico resistente ao herbicida glufosinato de amônio (arroz GM) e o arroz-vermelho ou arroz-preto. As populações híbridas F2 resultantes do cruzamento entre o arroz transgênico e o arroz-vermelho e preto são viáveis, mas não apresentam vantagem competitiva aparente em comparação com o arroz-vermelho e arroz-preto não-hibridizado, respectivamente. Nas populações híbridas F2, as características morfológicas, como capacidade de perfilhamento, número de folhas produzidas e estatura média das plantas, foram em parte reduzidas e em parte não foram afetadas pela introgressão do gene BAR. A duração média do período entre o transplante e 50% da fase de floração aumentou nos híbridos F2 entre arroz-vermelho e arroz GM, comparado com os parentais arroz-vermelho e arroz GM. Nos híbridos com arroz-preto, observou-se o contrário: as plantas reduziram o ciclo médio em relação a este. O degrane natural médio observado nos quatro cruzamentos foi inferior ao apresentado pelos dois parentais (arroz-vermelho e arroz-preto)-aspecto este também desfavorável à persistência do arroz-vermelho no ambiente. A esterilidade média de espiguetas aumentou e a produção de sementes viáveis foi inferior ou no máximo similar àquela observada no arroz-vermelho e no arroz-preto. A dormência de sementes foi pouco afetada, quando comparadas as populações híbridas F2 portadoras do gene BAR com os parentais arroz-vermelho e arroz-preto. Mesmo assim, os usuários dessa tecnologia deverão adotar, obrigatoriamente, medidas que evitem a possibilidade de cruzamento entre o arroz transgênico e o arroz-vermelho ou arroz-preto

Definition of a spectral mismatch index for spectral power distributions

CIE 2019, Washington DC, June 14 to 22, 2019. -- http://washington2019.cie.co.atTo investigate, select and publish an LED reference spectrum to complement the CIE Standard Illuminant A in photometric calibrations, a new technical committee has been recently created by CIE. This technical committee requires defining a spectral mismatch index to quantify the match of spectral power distributions (SPDs) of real sources to the selected reference spectrum. A proposal for such an index is given here, assuming that the spectral mismatch index of the SPD of a real source is directly related to the spectral mismatch systematic error introduced when the photometric quantity is measured using a photometer which is calibrated to a light source with the reference SPD. Finally, the value of this index is discussed and interpreted in photometric terms

Definition of a spectral mismatch index for spectral power distributions

7 págs., 7 figs., 1 tab.The technical committee TC 2-90 (“LED Reference spectrum for photometer calibration”) has been recently created by CIE to investigate, select and publish an LED Reference spectrum to complement the CIE Standard Illuminant A in photometric calibrations. This task additionally requires defining a spectral mismatch index to account for the match of spectral power distributions (SPDs) of real sources to the selected reference spectrum. The objective of this work is to propose such a spectral mismatch index, and to evaluate its performance using real and representative LED spectral power distributions and relative spectral responsivities of photometers.The work leading to this study is partly funded by the European Metrology Programme for Innovation and Research (EMPIR) Project 15SIB07 PhotoLED ‘Future Photometry Based on Solid State Lighting Products’.

Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) Pneumonia Presentations in Chest Computed Tomography: A Pictorial Review

Despite imaging not being a tool for novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) diagnosis, there has been an increased number of chest computed tomography (CT) scans done worldwide. There are no pathognomonic CT features for COVID-19 pneumonia, as findings are also common in other infectious diseases and noninfectious aetiologies. Nonetheless, point-of-care physicians should be familiarized with the most common imaging presentations of the COVID-19. In this pictorial review, we have summarized the most reported imaging features of COVID-19 pneumonia, including possible differential diagnosis according to the CT finding
