Leaves of Lolium multiflorum 'Lema' and tropical tree species as biomonitors of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons

This study extends the current knowledge regarding the use of plants for the passive accumulation of anthropogenic PAHs that are present in the atmospheric total suspended particles (TSP) in the tropics and sub-tropics. It is of major relevance because the anthropic emissions of TSP containing PAHs are significant in these regions, but their monitoring is still scarce. We compared the biomonitor efficiency of Lolium multiflorum 'Lema' and tropical tree species (Tibouchina pukka and Psidium guajava 'Paluma') that were growing in an intensely TSP-polluted site in Cubatao (SE Brazil), and established the species with the highest potential for alternative monitoring of PAHs. PAHs present in the TSP indicated that the region is impacted by various emission sources. L. multiflorum showed a greater efficiency for the accumulation of PAH compounds on their leaves than the tropical trees. The linear regression between the logBCF and logKoa revealed that L. multiflorum is an efficient biomonitor of the profile of light and heavy PAHs present in the particulate phase of the atmosphere during dry weather and mild temperatures. The grass should be used only for indicating the PAHs with higher molecular weight in warmer and wetter periods. (C) 2012 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

Rapid assays for detection of glyphosate-resistant Lolium spp.

Diagnosing herbicide-resistant weed populations is the first step for herbicide resistance management. Monitoring the nature, distribution, and abundance of the resistant plants in fields demands efficient and effective screening tests. Different glyphosate resistant populations of Lolium multiflorum (VA) and L. rigidum (C) were used in assays for testing their effectiveness to detect herbicide resistance. According to a Petri dish bioassay 7 days after treatment (DAT), the VA and the C populations were 27 and 31 times more resistant to glyphosate than the susceptible populations, L. multiflorum (SM) and L. rigidum (SR), respectively. On a whole-plant bioassay (21 DAT), the VA and the C populations were 6 and 11 times more resistant to glyphosate than their respective susceptible populations. The susceptible populations accumulated 2.5 and 1.4-fold more shikimic acid 48 hours after treatment (HAT), than the resistant VA and C. Glyphosate gradually inhibited net photosynthesis in all populations but at 48-72 HAT the resistant plants recovered, whereas no recovery was detected in susceptible populations. All assays were capable of detecting the resistant populations and this may be useful for farmers and consultants as an effective tool to reduce the spread of the resistant populations through quicker implementation of alternative weed management practices. However, they differed in time, costs and equipments necessaries for successfully carrying on the tests. Regarding costs, the cheapest ones were Petri dish and whole-plant bioassays, but they are time-consuming methods as the major constraints are the collection of seeds from the field and at least some weeks to evaluate the resistance. The shikimic acid and net photosynthesis assays were the quickest ones but they demand sophisticated equipments which could restrict its use.

Evaluación energética de Pennisetum clandestinum y Lolium perenne en diferentes edades de corte para alimentación de bovinos

Distintas especies forrajeras, como kikuyo (Penninsetum clandestinum) y rye grass anual (Lolium multiflorum), están ampliamente difundidas en la sierra ecuatoriana. Si bien pueden ser una solución al problema de la alimentación que enfrentan los productores, por ser una fuente nutricional de fácil acceso, en la actualidad estos recursos se están subutilizando al no considerarse su verdadero aporte nutricional. El objetivo de este estudio fue determinar el valor de la energía, para ganado de carne y leche, del kikuyo y el rye grass perenne (Lolium perenne) a diferentes edades de corte.

Detection of Sourgrass (Digitaria insularis) Biotypes Resistant to Glyphosate in Brazil

Sourgrass is a perennial weed infesting annual and perennial crops in Brazil. Three biotypes (R1, R2, and R3) of sourgrass suspected to be glyphosate-resistant (R) and another one (S) from a natural area without glyphosate application, in Brazil, were tested for resistance to glyphosate based on screening, dose-response, and shikimic acid assays. Both screening and dose-response assays confirmed glyphosate resistance in the three sourgrass biotypes. Dose-response assay indicated a resistance factor of 2.3 for biotype RI and 3.9 for biotypes R2 and R3. The hypothesis of a glyphosate resistance was corroborated on the basis of shikimic acid accumulation, where the S biotype accumulated 3.3, 5.0, and 5.7 times more shikimic acid than biotypes R1, R2, and R3, respectively, 168 h after treatment with 157.50 g ae ha(-1) of glyphosate. There were no differences in contact angle of spray droplets on leaves and spray retention, indicating that differential capture of herbicide by leaves was not responsible for resistance in these biotypes. The results confirmed resistance of sourgrass to glyphosate in Brazil.

A Survey for Diclofop-Methyl Resistance in Italian Ryegrass from Tennessee and How To Manage Resistance in Wheat

Italian ryegrass resistance to diclofop has been documented in several countries, including the United States. The purpose of this research was to screen selected putative resistant populations of Italian ryegrass for resistance to the acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACCase)-inhibiting herbicides diclofop and pinoxaden and the acetolactate synthase (ALS)-inhibiting herbicides imazamox, pyroxsulam, and mesosulfuron in the greenhouse and to use field experiments to develop herbicide programs for Italian ryegrass control. Resistance to diclofop was confirmed in eight populations from Tennessee. These eight populations did not show cross-resistance to pinoxaden. One additional population (R1) from Union County, North Carolina, was found to be resistant to both diclofop and pinoxaden. The level of resistance to pinoxaden of the R1 population was 15 times that of the susceptible population. No resistance was confirmed to any of the ALS-inhibiting herbicides examined in this research. Field experiments demonstrated PRE Italian ryegrass control with chlorsulfuron (71 to 94%) and flufenacet + metribuzin (84 to 96%). Italian ryegrass control with pendimethalin applied PRE or delayed preemergence (DPRE) was variable (0 to 85%). POST control of Italian ryegrass was acceptable with pinoxaden, mesosulfuron, flufenacet + metribuzin, and chlorsulfuron + flucarbazone (> 80%). Application timing and herbicide treatment had no effect on wheat yield, except for diclofop and pendimethalin treatments, in which uncontrolled Italian ryegrass reduced wheat yield.

Doença alérgica polínica: polens alergógenos e seus principais alérgenos

Pacientes com alergia a pólen de gramíneas, comumente denominada polinose, freqüentemente apresentam reatividade a alérgenos de pólen de inúmeras gramíneas devido às reatividades cruzadas entre anticorpos IgE dirigidos contra proteínas presentes nos polens de gramíneas. Nesse contexto, pólen de Italian ryegrass (Lolium multiflorum), ou azevém anual, gramínea da família Poaceae cultivada no Sul do Brasil, é considerado o principal agente sensibilizante em pacientes com polinose. Nessa região, o azevém é capaz de produzir grande quantidade de pólen. Adicionalmente, outras gramíneas da família Poaceae crescem naturalmente no Sul, entretanto, sem relevância clínica. Extratos de pólen derivados de gramíneas homólogas ou heterólogas são freqüentemente empregados no diagnóstico e tratamento da alergia sazonal a pólen, sendo que para esses fins não se encontra comercialmente disponível no Brasil extrato padronizado de pólen de L. multiflorum. Futuros estudos serão importantes para melhor caracterizar a reatividade cruzada entre alérgenos de pólen de L. multiflorum e alérgenos de outras gramíneas com o objetivo de aprimorar o diagnóstico e imunoterapia de pacientes com alergia a pólen causada por L. multiflorum.

Desempenho da mistura de aveia preta e azevém em função da adubação orgânica e mineral

Maximizar a eficiência dos sistemas de produção existentes, reduzindo a entrada de insumos externos e dos custos de produção é a lógica da agropecuária moderna. Baseado nisso, objetivou-se, com este trabalho, avaliar a influência das adubações orgânica e mineral no desenvolvimento e produção de massa seca (MS) do consórcio de aveia preta (Avena strigosa Schreb.) com azevém (Lolium multiflorum Lam.). O delineamento experimental utilizado foi o de blocos ao acaso, com quatro repetições, com os seguintes tratamentos: sem adubação; adubação mineral; adubação organomineral (50% mineral e 50% orgânica) e adubação orgânica. O experimento foi instalado em 15 de maio e conduzido até 28 de setembro de 2010. Foram realizadas três avaliações nesse período, por meio de cortes, para estimar a produção de MS e, semanalmente, verificaram-se o número de folhas, de afilhos e o comprimento da parte aérea das plantas de cada espécie. O efeito dos tratamentos sobre as variáveis número de afilhos, número de folhas e comprimento da parte aérea apresentou significância apenas nas primeiras avaliações. A produção de MS da cultura da aveia preta foi maior no primeiro corte, decaindo posteriormente, em função do ciclo precoce da espécie. O azevém teve elevada produção somente no último período, em função da característica de seu ciclo. Somando-se a MS obtida nos três períodos, concluiu-se que o dejeto de produção leiteira proporciona produção semelhante à favorecida pela adubação mineral. O mesmo comportamento foi observado para as características morfogênicas avaliadas, diferindo da testemunha.
