Correlação entre produção de feijão e atributos físicos de um Latossolo em Mato Grosso do Sul

In Brazil, common bean is in one of the most representative economic crops, not only because of its growing area but also because of the economic value of its production. In the crop year 2006/07, in Selvíria (MS), we analyzed the common bean yield as a function of some physical attributes of a Typic Acrustox in minimum tillage and center pivot irrigation system. The aim of this work was to evaluate among the soil physical attributes, under minimum tillage, those that better explain the variability of bean yield using the Pearson and spatial correlations,. A geostatistical grid was installed to collect data from soil and plants, with 117 sampling points in an area of 2025 m² and homogeneous slope of 0.055 m m-1. The results showed a low yield of bean, which occurred probably due to a lower density of plants that the system provided. Thus, for the minimum tillage system, the bean yield could be explained as a function of total porosity and bulk density.

Geoestatística na avaliação dos atributos físicos em latossolo sob floresta nativa e pastagem na Região de Manicoré, Amazonas

The use of geostatistical techniques allows detection of the existence of dependence and the spatial distribution of soil properties, thus constituting an important tool in the analysis and detailed description of the behavior of soil physical properties. The aim of the present study was to use geostatistics in assessment of physical properties in a Latossolo (Oxisol) dystrophic under native forest and pasture in the Amazon region of Manicore. Grids with of 70 x 70 m were established in native forest and pasture, and points were marked in these grids spaced at every 10 m, for a total of 64 points. These points were then georeferenced and in each one, soil samples (128) were collected at the depths of 0.00-0.20 and 0.40-0.60 m for a survey of their physical properties. These grids are parallel at a distance of 100 m from one another. The following determinations were made: texture, bulk density and particle density, macroporosity, microporosity, total porosity and aggregate stability in water. After tabulating the data, descriptive statistical analysis and geostatistical analysis were performed. The pasture had a slight variation in its physical properties in relation to native forest, with a high coefficient of variation and weak spatial dependence. The scaled semivariograms were able to satisfactorily reproduce the spatial behavior of the properties in the same pattern as the individual semivariograms, and the use of the parameter range of the semivariogram was efficient for determining the optimal sampling density for the environments under study. The geostatistical results indicate that the removal of native forest for establishing pasture altered the natural variability of the physical properties.

Variabilidade espacial de atributos físicos de solos antropogênico e não antropogênico na região de Manicoré, AM

Better knowledge of the anthropogenic soils can help create future scenarios for the Amazon region through information that supports the sustainable planning. The aim of this study was to evaluate the spatial variability of soil physical anthropogenic and not anthropogenic in the region of Manipur, AM. In the study area we selected two, one with no anthropogenic soils (native forest) and another with anthropogenic soils (black earth archaeological). In each area, we established a grid measuring 70 x 70 m and the soils were sampled at the points of intersection of the grid with regular spacing of 10 by 10 feet, making a total of 64 sampling points in each landscape. Soil samples were collected at a depth from 0.0 to 0.10 I did the analyzes physical (texture, bulk density, macroporosity, microporososidade, porosity and aggregate stability). Then, the data were subjected to descriptive statistics and geostatistics. It was found that the anthropogenic and non-anthropogenic soils showed different behaviors in relation ace their spatial structures. The spatial variability that prevailed in anthropogenic and non-anthropogenic soil was moderate and weak indicating that these soils are strongly linked to changes in the soil by extrinsic factors. The soil was observed anthropogenic best results for total porosity, microporosity and bulk density, showing superior characteristics compared for agronomic soil not anthropogenic. And the range of values found in the above two areas were used in the mesh, showing greater spatial continuity in these environments.

Comportamento da cana-de-açúcar em duas safras e atributos físicos do solo, sob diferentes tipos de preparo

The tillage comprises on average 25% of the cost of deploying a reed, so this cost reduction measures are desirable since they do not compromise the quality of the operation and longevity of sugarcane. The objective was to evaluate the effect of different tillage systems in Acrustox, correlating soil physical properties and characteristics of sugarcane agroindustrial plant cane and ratoon cane. We used five types of soil tillage, over experimental design in blocks with five replications. The particle size was measured every 0.1 m to 0.4 m depth, through deformed soil samples collected at the end of the first growth cycle of the culture. For other soil physical properties: bulk density, total porosity and water content, assessments were performed at the end of each cycle, collecting soil samples in layers of 0-0.20 to 0.21-0.40 m, in addition to performing the penetration resistance, using a penetrometer impact. The response of sugarcane depending on the types of tillage was determined from the evaluation of productivity per hectare of stem (TCH), sugar (TPH), the values of pol % cane (AP), sugar total recoverable (ATR) and fiber samples collected at harvest stalk of sugarcane plant and ratoon cane. In the tillage studied, there was a change of the physical attributes of the soil, causing reduced productivity in 2009/2010 crop, compared with the 2008/2009 season. In tillage system of furrowing direct lowest result was observed for TCH, especially in 2009/2010 crop, when the difference with conventional tillage was 20.53 Mg ha(-1).

Influência de protetores físicos coloridos nas trocas gasosas de Canafístula (Peltophorum dubium (Spreng.) Taub.)

The aim of this experiment was to study the influence of transparent, blue and red tree shelters on gas exchanges of canafístula’s (Peltophorum dubium (Spreng.) Taub.) seedlings. This study was carried out in Department of Botany, Institute of Biosciences, U ESP, Botucatu, São Paulo State, Brazil. The experiment design was randomized blocks, with 5 replications, each one containing 6 units of each treatment (nonsheltered, transparent tree shelters, blue tree shelters and red tree shelters). The evaluations of gas exchanges were made through an infrared gas analyzer. It follows that the tree shelters use may limit the photosynthesis, increase the transpiration and stomatal opening, besides reducing the water use efficiency. The colored tree shelters use created unfavorable conditions for the development, reducing the photosynthesis, because they reflected the blue and red wavelengths, allowing only the passage of the other components of the white light or of the photosynthetically active radiation

Busca de parceiros físicos das proteínas ADAM23 e MX1, utilizando o sistema de duplo híbrido em Saccharomyces cerevisae

A metilação de ilhas CpG em regiões regulatórias de vários genes tem sido descrita como um processo importante no silenciamento de genes supressores de tumor e diretamente envolvida no processo de carcinogênese de uma série de tumores. O estudo desses genes afetados pela metilação em tumores visa identificar possíveis marcadores moleculares para o diagnóstico, prognóstico e tratamento de tumores, além de possibilitar a descoberta de fatores importantes no processo biológico do câncer. Os genes MX1 e ADAM23 foram identificados como diferencialmente metilados em linhagens celulares provenientes de carcinoma de cabeça e pescoço. Neste sentido, ao estudar o perfil diferencial de metilação de genes em carcinomas de células escamosas de cabeça e pescoço, o gene MX1 foi identificado como diferencialmente expresso. Dessa forma, para elucidar a função destes genes no controle da carcinogênese, o presente estudo buscou identificar ligantes celulares das proteínas MX1 e ADAM23 por meio de rastreamentos de duplo-híbrido, usando bibliotecas de cDNA de cérebro fetal humano. Os rastreamentos com a proteína ADAM23 não geraram resultados positivos por isso não são aqui discutidos. Foi realizado rastreamento com a proteína MX1, que resultou em aproximadamente 1,0x106 transformantes, dos quais 74 foram confirmados pelo ensaio de duplo-híbrido e codificam para 9 ligantes já conhecidos e 21novos ligantes prováveis de MX1. Entre esses novos ligantes prováveis estão proteínas que já haviam sido descritas como ligantes de MX1, incluindo a própria proteína MX1, o que valida os resultados obtidos com este rastreamento. Além disso, grande parte dos ligantes identificados são fatores envolvidos no processo de SUMOilação de proteínas, na formação de corpúsculos nucleares denominados PML-NB e uma série de proteínas relacionadas ao controle da transcrição e apoptose...

Diagnóstico ambiental no período frio e seco do Córrego Bandeirantes, município de Rio Claro, SP: parâmetros físicos, químicos e físico-químicos

The present study was concerned with checking the water quality, the recovery of the riparian vegetation and vegetation around the springhead of stream Bandeirantes, such as the inadequate disposal of waste along this stream, which is located in Rio Claro, SP, in the period from March to July of 2010. Aiming to propose mitigation measures to reverse the degradation processes and develop activities to help a better awareness of the population directly related to this water resource. The water quality was analyzed by performing monthly sampling in three different points along the stream. The first point of sampling is in the spring of the stream, the second at the region called estradão and the third near its mouth, when it flows into the Ribeirão Claro, a tributary of the right bank of the Corumbataí river. It was calculated from the Water Quality Index (WQI) developed by Cetesb. The results were compared with current law. The riparian vegetation, which is responsible for the protection of rivers and streams, was observed and examined during the field work. The results indicated the stream as class 2 and the WQI has been classified, in the most of the analysis, such as a water of good quality. However, some parameters showed a worrying situation and highlighted the current situation, with waste deposits, furniture and animal waste into the pit of the stream studied

Busca de parceiros físicos da proteína CRABP2, utilizando o sistema de duplo-híbrido em Saccharomyces cerevisae

A metilação de ilhas CpG em regiões regulatórias de vários genes tem sido descrita como um processo importante no silenciamento de genes supressores de tumor e diretamente envolvida no processo de carcinogênese de uma série de tumores. O estudo desses genes afetados pela metilação em tumores visa à procura de marcadores moleculares para o diagnóstico, prognóstico e tratamento de tumores, e também a caracterização do seu papel no processo biológico do câncer. O nosso grupo de pesquisa participou de um Projeto Temático que visa a identificação de genes metilados em tumores de cabeça e pescoço (processo 03/09497-3) e foi então proposta a utilização do sistema de duplo-híbrido de levedura como ferramenta no início da análise funcional destes genes. Dessa maneira, utilizando como isca o gene CRABP2 identificado como diferencialmente metilado em câncer de cabeça e pescoço, foi realizado o rastreamento de duplo-híbrido para a identificação de interações físicas proteína-proteína. Foram rastreados aproximadamente 2,1x105 transformantes neste sistema, dos quais 550 foram inicialmente positivos para His+. Desses, 182 transformantes confirmaram a marca His+ e foram testados para -galactosidase. Em seguida, 19 foram selecionados para passar pela etapa do “plasmid linkage”. Após esse teste, 9 clones confirmaram a ligação dos marcadores His+ e β-gal+ com a presença do plasmídeo LEU2 . Assim, após o sequenciamento dos insertos contidos nos clones identificados, ciclina D3 (CCND3), alfa-macroglobulina 2 (A2M) (2 clones), canal aniônico dependente de voltagem 2 (VDAC2), tubulina alfa 1 (TUBA1), tubulina alfa 2 (TUBA2), tubulina beta (TUBB), fator de ligação ao “enhancer” do gene interleucina 2 (ILF2) e desoxi-hipusina sintase (DHPS) emergiram como ligantes de CRABP2
