Cultivares IAC de Uvas de Mesa Apirenas sobre Dois Porta-Enxertos.

Tres cultivares IAC de uvas sem sementes - IAC 460-1, IAC 536-2 e IAC 871--13 - foram estudadas quanto ao seu comportamento sobre dois porta-enxertos - IAC 766 e Riparia do Traviu -, em Jundiai, SP. Analisaram-se os resultados de seis colheitas consecutivas, de 1975 a 1980, referentes a producao por planta, ao numero de cachos por planta e ao teor de solidos soluveis (°Brix). A IAC 871-13, cognominada 'A Dona', foi superior, na analise conjunta, as outras duas cultivares, nas caracteristicas estudadas. Os porta-enxertos nao influenciaram os resultados, sendo consideradas satisfatorias suas afinidades com a copa. Recomenda-se 'A Dona' como opcao aos viticultores interessados em produzir uvas apirenas. A vide pode ser enxertada sobre o IAC 766 ou o Riparia do Traviu.Made available in DSpace on 2011-04-09T12:14:46Z (GMT).

Nootkatone Inhibits Acute and Chronic Inflammatory Responses in Mice

Nootkatone (NTK) is a sesquiterpenoid found in essential oils of many species of Citrus (Rutaceae). Considering previous reports demonstrating that NTK inhibited inflammatory signaling pathways, this study aimed to investigate the effects of this compound in mice models of acute and chronic inflammation. Murine models of paw edema induced by carrageenan, dextran, histamine, and arachidonic acid, as well as carrageenan-induced peritonitis and pleurisy, were used to evaluate the effects of NTK on acute inflammation. A murine model of granuloma induced by cotton pellets was used to access the impact of NTK treatment on chronic inflammation. In the acute inflammation models, NTK demonstrated antiedematogenic effects and inhibited leukocyte recruitment, which was associated with decreased vascular permeability, inhibition of myeloperoxidase (MPO), interleukin (IL)1-\u3b2, and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-\u3b1 production. In silico analysis suggest that NTZ anti-inflammatory effects may also occur due to inhibition of cyclooxygenase (COX)-2 activity and antagonism of the histamine receptor type 1 (H1). These mechanisms might have contributed to the reduction of granuloma weight and protein concentration in the homogenates, observed in the chronic inflammation model. In conclusion, NTK exerted anti-inflammatory effects that are associated with inhibition of IL1-\u3b2 and TNF-\u3b1 production, possibly due to inhibition of COX-2 activity and antagonism of the H1 receptor. However, further studies are required to characterize the effects of this compound on chronic inflammation

Emergência e desenvolvimento de plântulas de maracujazeiro azedo oriundas de sementes tratadas com bioestimulante Emergence and development of passion fruit plant from seeds treated with bio stimulant

O objetivo do trabalho foi estudar os efeitos de bioestimulante na emergência e no desenvolvimento de plântulas de Passiflora edulis Sims.f. flavicarpa Deg. O experimento foi conduzido sob cultivo protegido, com temperatura controlada (25ºC), no Departamento de Botânica, Instituto de Biociências, UNESP, Câmpus de Botucatu-SP. As sementes receberam os tratamentos com as concentrações 0 (testemunha); 4; 8; 12; 16 e 20 ml de bioestimulante/kg de semente e foram semeadas em bandejas de isopor contendo substrato comercial. O bioestimulante empregado é constituído por 0,005% de ácido índolbutírico (auxina), 0,009% de cinetina (citocinina) e 0,005% de ácido giberélico (giberelina). O delineamento experimental foi inteiramente casualizado, com seis tratamentos e cinco repetições de 24 sementes. As avaliações de porcentagem de emergência de plântulas foram realizadas semanalmente, bem como o comprimento de caule e raiz, diâmetro do caule, número de folhas, área foliar e massa seca de raiz, caule e folha, aos 35 dias após a semeadura. Os dados foram submetidos à análise de variância e regressão polinomial, ao nível de 5% de probabilidade. As concentrações de 12 e 16 ml de bioestimulante/kg de semente aplicado às sementes promoveram as maiores porcentagens de emergência e desenvolvimento de plântulas.<br>The aim of this work was the study of the effects of bio stimulants in the emergence and development of Passiflora edulis Sims.f. flavicarpa Deg. plantlet. The experiment was performed under shelter with controlled temperature (25ºC), at the Dep. of Botanic, Bioscience's Institute, UNESP, Campus de Botucatu, state of Sao Paulo, Brazil. The seeds were treated with different concentrations: 0 (check), 4, 8, 12, 16 and 20 ml of bio stimulant/kg of seeds and were sowed on polystyrene trays containing commercial substratum. The employed bio stimulant is comprised of 0.005% of indolylbutyric (auxin), 0.009% of kinetin (cytokine), and 0.005% of gibberellic acid. It was used the completely randomized blocks delineation with six treatment and five replications of 24 seeds. The estimation of the emergence percentage of plantlets were performed weekly and the stem and root lengths, stem diameter, number of leaves, leaf area and root, stem and leaf dry matter were performed 35 days after sowing. The data were submitted to analysis of variance and polynomial regression at 5% of probability. The concentrations of 12 and 16 ml of bio stimulant/kg of seed applied to the seeds have promoted the highest percentage of emergence and development of the plantlets

Micropropagação do porta-enxerto de videira '420-A' Micropropagation of '420-A' grapevine rootstock

O objetivo deste trabalho foi estabelecer um protocolo para a micropropagação do porta-enxerto de videira 420-A. O estabelecimento das culturas foi realizado com segmento nodal, cuja fonte dos explantes foram brotações de estacas lenhosas armazenadas sob refrigeração. No cultivo inicial, foram testados: o efeito de 6-benzilaminopurina e cinetina nas concentrações de 0; 1; 5 e 10 &micro;M, diferentes meios de cultura (MS, NN e WPM) e diluições do meio básico (MS, MS/2, MS/4 e MS/8). Na fase de alongamento e multiplicação, os meios de cultura testados foram MS, MS/2, NN e WPM. No enraizamento, foram testados: o meio de cultura MS/2 sem e com carvão ativado (1gL-1). Na aclimatização, foram testados vermiculita, Plantmax® e casca de arroz carbonizada como substrato. A cinetina não apresentou efeito sobre a brotação e o crescimento dos segmentos nodais. Já o BAP promoveu um aumento no número de brotos por explante. O aumento na concentração de BAP reduziu o número de folhas emitidas por explante e aumentou os sintomas de vitrificação, sendo os melhores resultados obtidos com 1 &micro;M de BAP. No cultivo inicial, o meio de cultura MS, com a concentração normal de sais, permitiu o maior crescimento das brotações. As diluições do meio MS em 1/4 e 1/8 mostraram-se prejudiciais ao desenvolvimento do porta-enxerto '420-A', afetando o crescimento das brotações após o primeiro subcultivo. Durante a multiplicação o meio MS/2 foi o que proporcionou melhores resultados. O enraizamento ocorreu naturalmente durante a multiplicação, sendo desnecessário o uso de carvão ativado no meio de cultura. A aclimatização foi realizada com sucesso em câmara de nebulização, com substrato vermiculita (95,8%) e Plantmax® (87%). Conclui-se que o porta-enxerto '420-A' pode ser micropropagado pelo cultivo inicial de segmentos nodais em meio de cultura MS + 1 &micro;M de BAP, alongamento das brotações e multiplicação pelo seccionamento das mesmas em meio MS/2 e aclimatização em substrato vermiculita ou Plantmax®.<br>The objective of this work was to establish a protocol for the rootstock of 420-A micropropagation. The establishment of the cultures was accomplished with nodal segments, whose source of explants was the budding of woody stakes stored under refrigeration. In the initial cultivation were tested: the effect of 6-benzilaminopurine and kinetin with 0, 1, 5 and 10 &micro;M concentrations, different culture medium (MS, NN and WPM) and dilutions of the basic medium (MS, MS/2, MS/4 and MS/8). In the alongation and multiplication steps were tested the following culture medium: MS, MS/2, NN and WPM. In the rooting were tested: the MS/2 culture medium with or without activated coal (1gL-1). In the acclimatization were tested the substrate vermiculite, Plantmax and carbonized rice hulls. The kinetin didn't present effect on the budding and the growth of the nodal segments. BAP already promoted an increase in the number of sprouts per explant. The increase in the concentration of BAP reduced the number of leaves emitted by explant and increased the vitrification symptoms, being the best results obtained with 1 &micro;M of BAP. In the initial cultivation the MS medium culture with the normal concentration of salts allowed the largest growth of the buddings. The dilutions of the MS medium in &frac14; and 1/8 showed very harmful to the development of the rootstock '420-A', being quite harmed the growth of the shoots after the first subcultivation. During the multiplication the medium MS/2 showed more appropriate. The roots happened naturally during the multiplication, being unnecessary the use of activated coal in the culture medium. The acclimatization was accomplished with success in a misty camera, being obtained high survival rates in vermiculite (95,8%) and Plantmax® (87%). It is concluded that the rootstock '420-A' can be micropropagated by initial cultivation of nodal segments in a culture medium of MS+1&micro;M of BAP, multiplication by sectionalizing the shoots in MS/2 medium and acclimatization in vermiculite substratum or Plantmax®
