Recommandations pour une gestion durable des espaces verts en Bourgogne

Les espaces verts offrent de nombreux bienfaits aux populations urbaines, mais nécessitent souvent d’être gérés pour répondre aux besoins humains ainsi qu’aux contraintes du milieu. Dès les années 1950, cette gestion a été assurée par des pratiques horticoles intensives. Toutefois, à partir de 1970, les conséquences environnementales de ce mode de gestion chimique et mécanique ont poussé des gestionnaires à réviser leurs pratiques et s’engager dans la gestion durable. En France, l’adoption de la gestion durable par les collectivités est restée hétérogène et des pratiques dommageables pour l’environnement ont persisté jusqu’à aujourd’hui. Cependant, l’interdiction au 1er janvier 2017 pour les collectivités d’utiliser des produits phytosanitaires en zone non-agricole les poussent à réviser en profondeur leur gestion des espaces verts et se tourner vers des pratiques durables. Dans ce contexte, l’objectif de l’essai a été de dégager des recommandations pour la mise en œuvre effective d’une gestion durable des espaces verts en Bourgogne. Les enjeux identifiés dans cette gestion étaient la biodiversité, l’eau, le sol, la gestion et le paysage. Une enquête par questionnaire a permis de constater que les gestionnaires d’espaces verts étaient intéressés par la gestion durable et avaient déjà adopté des pratiques pour répondre aux enjeux de gestion identifiés. Toutefois, l’analyse des réponses a également révélé que le traitement des enjeux était inégal et qu’un important frein technique était rencontré. Ces résultats ont montré l’importance de diffuser des pratiques et d’apporter un support technique. Des études de cas auprès de gestionnaires bourguignons ont permis d’observer leurs pratiques. Une fois les pratiques analysées au regard des enjeux identifiés, elles ont permis de dégager des recommandations globales pour une gestion durable des espaces verts. Celles-ci sont au nombre de 45 et répondent à 15 problématiques rencontrées par les gestionnaires, telles que le désherbage, la fertilisation et le choix des végétaux. Finalement, afin de faciliter la diffusion des recommandations et leur application par les gestionnaires d’espaces verts, il a été décidé de les synthétiser sous forme de fiches. Celles-ci concernent les mêmes problématiques, mais sont organisées par type de formation végétale, afin de se rapprocher du travail de terrain des gestionnaires. L’aspect technique est également renforcé. Ces fiches synthétiques sont destinées à être diffusées aux communes par la Fredon Bourgogne en accompagnement des plans de gestion différenciée qu’elle développe.

Ric-8A, a G alpha protein guanine nucleotide exchange factor potentiates taste receptor signaling

Taste receptors for sweet, bitter and umami tastants are G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs). While much effort has been devoted to understanding G-protein-receptor interactions and identifying the components of the signalling cascade downstream of these receptors, at the level of the G-protein the modulation of receptor signal transduction remains relatively unexplored. In this regard a taste-specific regulator of G-protein signaling (RGS), RGS21, has recently been identified. To study whether guanine nucleotide exchange factors (GEFs) are involved in the transduction of the signal downstream of the taste GPCRs we investigated the expression of Ric-8A and Ric-8B in mouse taste cells and their interaction with G-protein subunits found in taste buds. Mammalian Ric-8 proteins were initially identified as potent GEFs for a range of G alpha subunits and Ric-8B has recently been shown to amplify olfactory signal transduction. We find that both Ric-8A and Ric-8B are expressed in a large portion of taste bud cells and that most of these cells contain IP3R-3 a marker for sweet, umami and bitter taste receptor cells. Ric-8A interacts with G alpha-gustducin and G alpha i2 through which it amplifies the signal transduction of hTas2R16, a receptor for bitter compounds. Overall, these findings are consistent with a role for Ric-8 in mammalian taste signal transduction.

Tests to determine the physiological potential of squash seeds.

Tests to determine the physiological potential of squash seeds. This work aimed to determine the efficiency of different tests to access the physiological potential of squash sced lots. Six seed lots were submitted to germination and vigor tests (germination first count; speed of germination; cool germination; accelerated aging; seedling emergence; seedlings growth and dry biomass (root, hypocotyl and total) and plants (root, stem and total length, root, stem, root plus stem, leaves and total). A completely randomized design was used with four replicates The averages were compared by the Tukey test (p <= 0.05). Pearson`s correlation test was also performed. The germination first count, speed of germination, accelerated aging, root plus stem and leaves dry biomass from plants evaluated in the 21(st) day after sowing can be used to determine the physiological potential of squash seeds.

Chemical Composition and Antioxidant/Antidiabetic Potential of Brazilian Native Fruits and Commercial Frozen Pulps

Foods provide essential and bioactive compounds with health-promoting properties such as antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and hypocholesterolemic activities, which have been related to vitamins A, C, and E and phenolic compounds such as flavonoids. Therefore, the aim of this work was to identify potential sources of bioactive compounds through the determination of flavonoids and ellagic acid contents and the in vitro antioxidant capacity and alpha-glucosidase and alpha-amylase inhibitory activities of Brazilian native fruits and commercial frozen pulps. Camu-camu, cambuci, uxi, and tucuma and commercial frozen pulps of cambuci, cagaita, coquinho azedo, and araca presented the highest antioxidant capacities. Cambuci and cagaita exhibited the highest alpha-glucosidase and alpha-amylase inhibitory activities. Quercetin and kaempferol derivatives were the main flavonoids present in most of the samples. Ellagic acid was detected only in umbu, camu-camu, cagaita, araca, and cambuci. According to the results, native Brazilian fruits can be considered as excellent sources of bioactive compounds.

Produção e qualidade de propágulos de morangueiro em diferentes concentrações de nitrogênio no cultivo sem solo

O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar o efeito da concentração de nitrogênio na produção e na qualidade de mudas de raízes nuas e pontas de estolões de morangueiro no cultivo sem solo. O plantio das matrizes foi realizado em 13 de setembro de 2007, e a colheita das mudas em 18 de fevereiro de 2008. Os tratamentos foram quatro concentrações de N na solução nutritiva de 8, 11, 14 e 17 mmol L-1. O delineamento utilizado foi o inteiramente casualizado, com cinco repetições de 3,6 m². No momento da colheita foram determinados o número e o diâmetro da coroa das mudas de raízes nuas e o número de pontas de estolões. As diferentes concentrações de N não afetaram o número de mudas e de pontas de estolões, cujas médias foram de 339 e 836, respectivamente. O diâmetro da coroa das mudas de raízes nuas diminuiu linearmente com o aumento da concentração de N na solução nutritiva. Concluiu-se que o aumento da concentração de N na solução nutritiva, no sistema de cultivo sem solo com substrato de areia, não afeta o número de mudas de raízes nuas e nem de pontas de estolões, mas reduz o diâmetro da coroa das mudas de raízes nuas de morangueiro.

Divergência genética em cultivares de morangueiro, baseada em caracteres morfoagronômicos

Os caracteres morfoagronômicos são tradicionalmente usados na caracterização de cultivares e no estudo da divergência genética, contribuindo na definição de estratégias para o melhoramento genético. Este trabalho teve por objetivo avaliar a divergência genética por meio de caracteres morfoagronômicos de 11 cultivares de morangueiro (Aromas, Camarosa, Camino Real, Campinas, Diamante, Dover, Oso Grande, Sweet Charlie, Toyonoka, Tudla e Ventana), nas condições climáticas da região Centro-Sul do Paraná. Foram analisados 29 caracteres morfoagronômicos relacionados com a planta, folha, flor, fruto e aquênios do morangueiro. As similaridades genéticas foram calculadas por meio de análise multivariada e, os cultivares, agrupados com base na matriz de similaridade genética, usando-se UPGMA. Dentre os 29 caracteres morfoagronômicos avaliados, oito apresentaram diferenças não significativas (p < 0,05). A similaridade média foi de 38%, variando de 19 (aromas e camino real) a 62% (Camino Real e Camarosa; Aromas e Sweet Charlie). O dendrograma alocou os cultivares em quatro grupos, contudo, essa divisão não foi coerente com a origem e genealogia dos cultivares. O cultivar Tudla apresenta elevado potencial "per se" para utilização em programas de melhoramento. O cruzamento mais promissor com base nos caracteres morfoagronômicos é entre os cultivares Camarosa e Campinas.

Post-harvest conservation of organic strawberries coated with cassava starch and chitosan

The strawberry is as non-climacteric fruit, but has a high post-harvest respiration rate, which leads to a rapid deterioration at room temperature. This study aimed to evaluate the application of biodegradable coating on postharvest conservation of organic strawberries, cv. Camarosa, packed in plastic hinged boxes and stored at 10ºC. The treatments consisted of: a) control; b) 2% cassava starch; c) 1% chitosan; and d) 2% cassava starch + 1% chitosan. Physical and chemical characteristics of fruits were evaluated at 3, 6 and 9 days of storage, and microbiological and sensory analyses were carried out at the end of the storage period. The treatments influenced positively the post-harvest quality of organic strawberries. The coating cassava starch + chitosan provided the best results, with less than 6% of loss in fruit mass, lower counts of yeast and psychrophilic microorganisms and the best appearance according to the sensory analysis.

Produção de cultivares de morango, utilizando túnel baixo em Pelotas

O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar o desempenho produtivo de novos cultivares de dia-curto de morangueiro ('Earlibrite', 'Sabrosa' e 'Florida Festival'), nas condições edafo-climáticas de Pelotas (RS), tendo como padrão o cultivar 'Camarosa', usando-se túnel baixo. O experimento foi realizado com sistema de irrigação por gotejamento. O transplantio das mudas foi realizado em maio de 2008, sendo utilizadas mudas procedentes da região da Patagônia, na Argentina. O delineamento experimental foi de blocos casualizados, com parcelas subdivididas no tempo, com quatro repetições. As unidades experimentais foram constituídas por 42 plantas, que foram avaliadas, semanalmente, quanto ao número, massa da matéria fresca e produção de frutos, no período de agosto a dezembro de 2008. Nas avaliações, consideraram-se apenas os frutos comercializáveis, descartando-se aqueles com defeitos e com massa inferior a 5 g. Verificou-se que a produção acumulada de frutos por planta do 'Sabrosa' é maior que a do 'Florida Festival' e do 'Earlibrite', menor, porém, que a do 'Camarosa'. O número de frutos produzidos por planta do 'Sabrosa' e do 'Florida Festival' é maior que o do 'Earlibrite', menor, porém, que o do 'Camarosa'. Quanto à produção de massa da matéria fresca média dos frutos, o 'Sabrosa' e o 'Camarosa' são superiores a do 'Florida Festival' e a do'Earlibrite'. Apesar de apresentarem padrões de desempenho produtivo diferenciados, os três novos cultivares de morangueiro testados mostraram-se com alto potencial produtivo, constituindo-se em interessantes alternativas de produção para os agricultores de Pelotas.

Biochemical and morpho-anatomical analyses of strawberry vitroplants hyperhydric tissues affected by BA and gelling agents

In vitro propagation has become an effective practice for large-scale production of strawberry plants. The objective of this study was to evaluate the hyperhydricity and the multiplication capacity of two strawberry varieties (Fragaria x ananassa Duch. 'Dover' and 'Burkley') propagated in vitro. Plants maintained in MS medium supplemented with 1.0 mg L-1 BA were individualized and transferred to the same medium solidified with Agar (6.5 g L-1) or Phytagel® (2.5 g L-1) and BA at different concentrations (0; 0.5; 1.0; 2.0 and 3.0 mg L-1). Biochemical and anatomical analyses were carried out, as well as the analysis of the morphological hyperhydricity characteristics. The analysis of data showed: a) the increase in cytokinin concentration increased hyperhydricity frequency in both varieties; b) at concentrations up to 2.0 mg L-1 BA, the replacement of Agar by Phytagel® induced a higher formation of hyperhydric shoots; and c) the addition of BA induced oxidative stress, which is characterized by increased antioxidant activity and lipid peroxidation, as well as alterations at the cellular level, such as malformation of stomata and epidermal cells. In conclusion, the culture medium containing 0.5 mg L-1 BA solidified with Agar provided lower hyperhydricity percentages in association with higher rates of shoot proliferation in strawberry.
