A efetividade do suprimento de nitrogênio ao feijoeiro, por meio de fertilizante e, ou, de fixação biológica, e a dependência desses processos à disponibilidade de molibdênio constituem, ainda, um problema mal resolvido. Objetivando avaliar os efeitos da aplicação foliar de Mo na atividade das enzimas nitrogenase e redutase do nitrato e na produtividade do feijoeiro, realizou-se um experimento, em condições de campo, em um Podzólico Vermelho-Amarelo do município de Coimbra (MG). Os tratamentos constituíram-se de doses crescentes de Mo (0, 40, 80 e 120 g ha-1 de Mo), aplicadas em adubação foliar aos 25 dias da emergência. Na adubação de base, usaram-se 20 kg ha-1 de N e 60 kg ha-1 de K2O. Não foi aplicado nitrogênio em cobertura. A aplicação foliar de Mo aumentou as atividades da nitrogenase e da redutase do nitrato, mantendo-as em patamares mais altos durante o ciclo da cultura, proporcionando maiores teores de N nas folhas e maior produtividade. A eficiência máxima foi alcançada com 80 g ha-1 de Mo, com produtividade de 1.893 kg ha-1 de grãos, 3,23 vezes maior que a da testemunha (sem Mo). A aplicação foliar de Mo aumentou, também, em 1,54 vez o número de vagens por planta, em 0,23 o número de grãos por vagem e em 0,15 o peso de 100 grãos, em comparação ao tratamento que não recebeu Mo.

Present downslope iron accumulations were investigated in the rainforest zone in southern Cameroon. Six clay and Fe-hydroxide dominated patterns have been identified and occur on the lower part of hill slopes. They can be subdivided in three different sequences, related to gentle, moderate or steep slopes. They are discontinuous with respect to the dismantling zone of the old ferricrete cap formed at Cretaceous period. They show a gradual development from a soft Fe-crust (carapace) to a vesicular facies that will, with time, cover the whole landscape again.

O trabalho trata da formação de solos arenosos hidromórficos com morfologia de Espodossolo, encontrados em extensas planícies, onde ocorrem áreas isoladas de Latossolos, em terrenos ondulados e bem drenados de colinas. O objetivo do estudo é elucidar a existência de relação pedogenética num sistema Latossolo-Espodossolo, verificando o possível desenvolvimento dos solos arenosos por transformação dos Latossolos. Para tanto, foram caracterizados a morfologia dos solos e seus atributos fisicos, químicos e mineralógicos. Os solos estudados apresentam desenvolvimento autóctone e filiação com a rocha granítica do embasamento, mostrando relação genética lateral entre si. Pode-se admitir transformação do Latossolo em areia branca, que se verifica numa escala métrica, de acordo com as condições de saturação hídrica crescente, provocando amarelecimento, seguido de gleização, na periferia da colina. Nesta zona, ocorre empobrecimento em argila em subsuperfície, que se estende lateralmente na planície, onde se encontram, de início, o material arenoso e, em seguida, os Espodossolos hidromórficos. Esta disposição evidencia o desenvolvimento dos Espodossolos posteriormente à formação das areias. O principal processo pedogeoquímico envolvido na perda de argila seria a acidólise, que provoca dissolução da gibbsita e caulinita. Nesse caso, a transformação dos solos teria papel preponderante na evolução do modelado com aplainamento geral do relevo.

In Pseudomonas fluorescens CHA0, an antagonist of root-pathogenic fungi, the GacS/GacA two-component system tightly controls the expression of antifungal secondary metabolites and exoenzymes at a posttranscriptional level, involving the RNA-binding protein and global regulator of secondary metabolism RsmA. This protein was purified from P. fluorescens, and RNA bound to it was converted to cDNA, which served as a probe to isolate the corresponding chromosomal locus, rsmZ. This gene encoded a regulatory RNA of 127 nucleotides and a truncated form lacking 35 nucleotides at the 3' end. Expression of rsmZ depended on GacA, increased with increasing population density, and was stimulated by the addition of a solvent-extractable extracellular signal produced by strain CHA0 at the end of exponential growth. This signal appeared to be unrelated to N-acyl-homoserine lactones. A conserved upstream element in the rsmZ promoter, but not the stress sigma factor RpoS, was involved in rsmZ expression. Overexpression of rsmZ effectively suppressed the negative effect of gacS and gacA mutations on target genes, i.e., hcnA (for hydrogen cyanide synthase) and aprA (for the major exoprotease). Mutational inactivation of rsmZ resulted in reduced expression of these target genes in the presence of added signal. Overexpression of rsmA had a similar, albeit stronger negative effect. These results support a model in which GacA upregulates the expression of regulatory RNAs, such as RsmZ of strain CHA0, in response to a bacterial signal. By a titration effect, RsmZ may then alleviate the repressing activity of RsmA on the expression of target mRNAs.

Twenty-nine isolates of the ectomycorrhiza fungus Pisolithus sp. from different geographical and host origins were tested for their ability to form ectomycorrhizae on Eucalyptus grandis and E. urophylla seedlings under greenhouse conditions. The ectomycorrhiza-forming capacity of isolates varied greatly from one eucalypt species to the other. All isolates from Eucalyptus, nine from Pinus spp. and two isolates from unknown hosts formed mycorrhizae with E. grandis and E. urophylla. Root colonization rates varied from 0 to 5.2 % for all Pinus isolates and those from unknown hosts. Colonization rates for these isolates were lower than those observed for Eucalyptus isolates (0.8 to 89.4 %). Three isolates from unknown hosts formed mycorrhizae with neither Eucalyptus species. The main characteristic for distinguishing Pinus from Eucalyptus isolates was mantle color. These data corroborate previous results obtained in our laboratory indicating that the isolates tested represent at least two distinct different species within the genus Pisolithus.

We describe the motivation, design, and implementation of the CORNISH survey, an arcsecondresolution radio continuum survey of the inner galactic plane at 5 GHz using the Very Large Array (VLA). It is a blind survey coordinated with the northern SpitzerGLIMPSE I region covering 10° formation. A sensitivity around 2 mJy will allow the automatic distinction between radio-loud and radio-quiet midIR sources found in the Spitzersurveys. This survey has many legacy applications beyond star formation, including evolved stars, active stars and binaries, and extragalactic sources. The CORNISH survey for compact ionized sources complements other Galactic plane surveys that target diffuse and nonthermal sources, as well as atomic and molecular phases to build up a complete picture of the interstellar medium in the Galaxy.

Phototropism is a growth response allowing plants to align their photosynthetic organs toward incoming light and thereby to optimize photosynthetic activity. Formation of a lateral gradient of the phytohormone auxin is a key step to trigger asymmetric growth of the shoot leading to phototropic reorientation. To identify important regulators of auxin gradient formation, we developed an auxin flux model that enabled us to test in silico the impact of different morphological and biophysical parameters on gradient formation, including the contribution of the extracellular space (cell wall) or apoplast. Our model indicates that cell size, cell distributions, and apoplast thickness are all important factors affecting gradient formation. Among all tested variables, regulation of apoplastic pH was the most important to enable the formation of a lateral auxin gradient. To test this prediction, we interfered with the activity of plasma membrane H(+)-ATPases that are required to control apoplastic pH. Our results show that H(+)-ATPases are indeed important for the establishment of a lateral auxin gradient and phototropism. Moreover, we show that during phototropism, H(+)-ATPase activity is regulated by the phototropin photoreceptors, providing a mechanism by which light influences apoplastic pH.
