Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF), which is intrinsically present or may be introduced in soils by inoculation, is an example of natural and renewable resource to increase plant nutrient uptake. This kind of fungi produces structures (hyphae, arbuscles and sometimes vesicles) inside the plant root cortex. This mutualistic relationship promotes plant gains in terms of water and nutrient absorption (mainly phosphorus). Biochar can benefit plant interaction with AMF, however, it can contain potentially toxic compounds such as heavy metals and organic compounds (e.g. dioxins, furans and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons), depending on the feedstock and pyrolysis conditions, which may damage organisms. For these reasons, the present work will approach the impacts of biochar application on soil attributes, AMF-plant symbiosis and its responses in plant growth and phosphorus uptake. Eucalyptus biochar produced at high temperatures increases sorghum growth; symbiosis with AMF; and enhances spore germination. Enhanced plant growth in the presence of high temperature biochar and AMF is a response of root branching stimulated by an additive effect between biochar characteristics and root colonization. Biochar obtained at low temperature reduces AMF spore germination; however it does not affect plant growth and symbiosis in soil.

RESUMO: O objetivo do presente trabalho foi avaliar a reação de genótipos de girassol à podridão branca, causada por Sclerotinia sclerotiorum, no colo e no capítulo, em condições de campo. Dezoito cultivares de girassol foram avaliadas, em experimento implantado em maio de 2014, em Mauá da Serra, PR, em condições de infecção natural do fungo. A avaliação das plantas indicou que a doença foi favorecida pelas condições climáticas de baixa temperatura e alta umidade, ocorrida na região na época de condução do experimento. Todos os genótipos de girassol avaliados foram suscetíveis a S. sclerotiorum. ABSTRACT: The objective of the present work was to evaluate the reaction of sunflower genotypes to Sclerotinia stalk and head rot, caused by Sclerotinia esclerotiorum. Eighteen cultivars were evaluated in a field experiments sowed in May 2014, in Maua da Serra, PR, Brazil, under natural infection in the field. The evaluation of the plants indicated that the disease was favored by the climatic conditions of low temperature and high humidity, which occurred in the region during the time of conducting the experiment. All sunflower genotypes tested are susceptible to Sclerotinia stalk and/or head rot.

RESUMO: Este trabalho teve como objetivo comparar a severidade da mancha de Alternaria de genótipos de girassol em ambientes do Cerrado do Distrito Federal. Três experimentos foram avaliados, dois na Embrapa Cerrados (Planaltina, DF) e um localizado na Embrapa Produtos e Mercado (Recanto das Emas, DF). Foram feitas análises ao longo do ciclo da cultura com um intervalo de 15 dias, sendo a primeira aos 35 dias após emergência. Cada planta foi analisada em três partes: terço inferior, terço médio e terço superior. Ao final de cada experimento, a área abaixo da curva de progresso da doença (AACPD) foi calculada para cada genótipo. De acordo com os resultados observados, o ambiente de sequeiro na Embrapa Cerrados, que deteve a maior média da severidade da doença, entre os ambientes avaliados. Dentre os genótipos avaliados, MG 360 mostrou menor severidade da doença no sequeiro e AGUARA 06 no irrigado da Embrapa Cerrados. O genótipo BSG 42 na Embrapa Produtos e Mercado, se destacou pela menor severidade do fungo. Houve influência significativa do ambiente nos resultados de severidade da doença, que está estreitamente relacionada com os fatores climáticos como temperatura e umidade relativa do ar. A compreensão dessas condições favoráveis ao desenvolvimento do fungo é essencial quando se avalia a resistência em genótipos de girassol. ABSTRACT: This study had the purpose of comparing the severity of Alternaria leaf spot on genotypes of sunflower in the Brazilian Cerrado. Three field trials were established, two at Embrapa Cerrados (Planaltina, DF) and one at Embrapa Produtos e Mercados (Recanto das Emas, DF). Evaluations were made during the crop cycle every 15 days, the first one happening 35 days after crop emergency. Each plant was analyzed in three parts: lower, middle and upper thirds. At the end of each trial the average area under the disease progress curve (AUDPC), for each third, was calculated for all genotypes. According to the observed results, the dryland environment at Embrapa Cerrados had the highest mean disease severity, among the studied environments. Between the evaluated genotypes, MG360 showed less severity in dryland and AGUARA 06 in the irrigated environment at Embrapa Cerrados. At Embrapa Produtos e Mercado the genotype that presented the best performance was BRS G42. Environmental conditions deeply affected the trials, mainly temperature and relative humidity. Their influence on Alternaria leaf spot epidemics in the Cerrado region must be studied in more detail, to avoid misinterpreting data when evaluating sunflower genotypes for resistance to this important fungal disease.

Rupestris stem pitting associated virus (RSPaV) is a species in the genus Foveavirus (Martelli and Jelkman, 1998) and the family Flexiviridae. The virion has a positive sense, single stranded, polyadenylated RNA genome of 8.7kb in size and a coat protein of 28kD (Martelli and Jelkman, 1998). The virus has been reported to be present in pollen (Rowhani et aI., 2000) and seeds (Stewart and Nassuth, 2001), however, it has not been proved to be seed-transmitted. In our investigation reported here we have proven that RSPaV transmits by seed from RSPaV-infected mother plants to their siblings.
