Interaction between sucrose and pH during in vitro culture of Nephrolepis biserrata (Sw.) Schott (Pteridophyta).

Interaction between sucrose and pH during in vitro culture of Nephrolepis biserrata (Sw.) Schott (Pteridophyta)). The present work reports the effect of different pH and sucrose concentrations on in vitro propagation of Nephrolepis biserrata. Fronds aseptically obtained from stolon segment culture were cultivated in MS semi-solid medium supplemented with 0, 15, 30, 45 and 60 g.L -1 sucrose and pH adjusted to 3, 5, 7 and 9, in a factorial design. Frond number and length, pinnae number, raquis length and diam eter, fresh and dry matter weight were measured. Inhibition of shoot and leaf regeneration was observed in all the pH treatments in the abs ence of sucrose. On the other hand, when sucrose was added to the medium, the shoot number increased, reaching the maximum average values of 51.25 and 38.25 shoot per explant at pH 5 and 7, respectively. Sucrose concentrations from 15 to 45g.L -1 increased leaf length and diameter and the pH 9 did not affect the dry matter weight, and was still not adequate for development of new fronds. Young sporophytes were successfully acclimated

Número cromossômico de três espécies frutíferas cultivadas no Vale do São Francisco.

Foi realizada a análise citogenética em videira (Vitis vinifera - cultivares de porta-enxerto Salt Creek, Dog Ridge, IAC-766, 420-A e Harmony), goiabeira (Psidium guajava - cultivar Paluma) e bananeira (Musa spp. - cultivar Pacovan) visando utilizar a caracterização cromossômica como ferramenta de apoio aos programas de melhoramento

Single observable concurrence measurement without simultaneous copies

We present a protocol that allows us to obtain the concurrence of any two qubit pure state by performing a minimal and optimal tomography of one of the subsystems through measuring a single observable of an ancillary four dimensional qudit. An implementation for a system of trapped ions is also proposed, which can be achieved with present day experimental techniques.Comment: 4 pages, 1 figur
