DRIS norms for 'Valencia' sweet orange on three rootstocks

Diagnosis and Recommendation Integrated System (DRIS) applies nutrient ratios instead of the isolated concentration values of each nutrient in interpretation of tissue analysis. The objectives of this research were to establish adequate DRIS norms for 'Valencia' sweet orange irrigated commercial groves budded on three rootstocks and correlate indexes of nutrition balance with yield. Experiments were conducted in São Paulo State, Brazil. Rootstocks Rangpur lime, Caipira sweet orange, and Poncirus trifoliata, with more than six years old and yield above 40 ton ha-1 were utilized. Data referred to yield, tree spacing, rootstock and foliar concentrations of N, P, K, Ca, Mg, S, Fe, Mn, Cu, Zn, and B in non fruiting terminals for each grove were processed for the years 1994 through 1998. DRIS indexes were calculated by Nick criterion for choosing the ratio order of the nutrients and Jones calculation method of the ratio functions. Indexes of nutritional balance calculated from DRIS norms presented high correlation with yield for the three scion/rootstock combinations. DRIS norms defined in this research are valid, since leaf sampling is done on non fruiting terminals and the grove is irrigated.

GUS gene expression driven by a citrus promoter in transgenic tobacco and 'Valencia' sweet orange

The objective of this work was the transformation of tobacco and 'Valencia' sweet orange with the GUS gene driven by the citrus phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (PAL) gene promoter (CsPP). Transformation was accomplished by co-cultivation of tobacco and 'Valência' sweet orange explants with Agrobacterium tumefaciens containing the binary vector CsPP-GUS/2201. After plant transformation and regeneration, histochemical analyses using GUS staining revealed that CsPP promoter preferentially, but not exclusively, conferred gene expression in xylem tissues of tobacco. Weaker GUS staining was also detected throughout the petiole region in tobacco and citrus CsPP transgenic plants.

La importància econòmica d'una minoria ètnica: el cas dels xuetes, segles XVI-XVIII

L’estudi de col·lectius minoritaris esdevé una de les peces importants de l’anàliside la història social, econòmica i cultural. El tema dels jueus acumula una amplabibliografia, atesa la rellevància d’aquesta minoria en el decurs de l’evolució històrica.Les connotacions de partida són, endemés, de caire bíblic; però els historiadors hantractat d’esbrinar, a banda d’aquestes perspectives que es relacionen de manera mésdirecta amb les confessions religioses, la funció d’un grup que tingué enormeimportància en camps diferents del coneixement, de la cultura (en el seu sentit més lax)i de l’economia.
