INFLUÊNCIA DO ÁCIDO GIBERÉLICO NA FISIOLOGIA E QUALIDADE DA VIDEIRA CV SWEET CELEBRATION NO SUBMÉDIO SÃO FRANCISCO

RESUMO O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar o efeito da aplicação de doses únicas e fracionadas de ácido giberélico nas trocas gasosas e fotossíntese e na qualidade de cachos da uva cv. Sweet Celebration, no Submédio São Francisco. O delineamento experimental foi o em blocos ao acaso, com 10 tratamentos (testemunha; uma, duas ou três aplicações de 10 mg.L-1; uma, duas ou três aplicações de 15 mg.L-1; uma única aplicação de 20 mg.L-1, de 30 mg.L-1ou de 45 mg.L-1), com quatro repetições, e parcelas constituídas por três plantas. O ácido giberélico, aplicado na fase de bagas com 8 mm, aumentou a massa e as dimensões das uvas, sem influenciar no teor de sólidos solúveis e na acidez titulável. Contudo, maiores massa (9,41 g), comprimento (26,8 mm) e volume (8,12 cm3) de baga foram decorrentes de três aplicações de 10 mg.L-1, resultando em incrementos de, respectivamente, 59%, 23% e 42,5%,quandocomparado à testemunha. As três aplicações de ácido giberélico, nas diferentes fases de desenvolvimento dos cachos, favoreceram a atividade fotossintética e a qualidade do cacho e das bagas.

Parece mentira que una pieza teatral firmada por Calderón de la Barca haya tardado más de tres cientos años en aparecer impresa y que sea ahora,en el 2010, cuando lo haga por primera vez. ¿A qué se debe esta falta de interés por la obra?La respuestanos la ofrecen Felipe B. Pedza Jiménez y Rafael González Cañal en el capítulo que abre el estudio preliminar de su edicion tulado«Razones de una sin razón»

Síntesis de espirobrasinoesteroides análogos de la 6-desoxocastasterona

The synthesis of two new spirostanic analogs of the natural occurring brassinosteroid 6-desoxocastasterone (1) is described. The scheme consists in the formation and elimination of tigogenin mesylate followed by catalytic dihydroxylation of the resulting D2-steroid (3) and acetylation of the 2a, 3a-diol introduced.Treatment diacetate (5) with NaNO2/BF3.Et2O and chromatography in alumina led to a 23-keto (6) which on reduction produced the 23S alcohol (8) as major product. Saponification of the 2a, 3a-diacetoxy-23-keto compound (6) and the 2a,3a-diacetoxy-23-hydroxy compound (8) led to the spirobrasinosteroids (7) and (9).13C NMR and ¹H RMN characteristics derived from substitution at C23 are briefly discussed.

De Francisco a Marco Antonio Aldana pasando por Gaspar

It is traditionally considered that the «Aldana», whom Gaspar Gil Polo praises at the end of his «Canto de Turia» (1564), was Francisco de Aldana, the «divino». It is nonetheless more probable that it was in fact rather the Valencian poet, Marco Antonio Aldana, almost forgotten today, but very much in the public eye within the cultivated circles of the end of the sixteenth century Valencia

Avaliação da qualidade de sedimentos - estudo de caso: sub-bacia do Ribeirão Espírito Santo, afluente do Rio São Francisco

This study evaluated the environmental impact resulting from surface water and sediment contamination by metals in a watershed affected by a tailing basin that controls effluents coming from a zinc-ore beneficiation plant. The studies combined assessments of sediment chemistry (exceedances of sediment quality guidelines), benthic assemblage structure and acute and chronic ecotoxicity. The results showed that the levels of metal contamination in sediments are not yet enough to cause deleterious effects to the biota. However, the ecotoxicity tests indicated the occurrence of chronic effects, demonstrating that other factors, as the use of fertilizers, could also be a source of contamination.

Composição química volátil, em diferentes estádios de maturação, de manga 'Tommy Atkins' produzida no Vale do São Francisco

The effect of the maturation stages on the volatile chemical composition of mango fruit cv. Tommy Atkins, cultivated in São Francisco Valley, was investigated using SPME. GC/MS and GC-FID analysis allowed the identification of 32 compounds, consisting mainly of monoterpenes. δ-3-Carene was the major component in all the stages, while α-terpinolene, trans-β-caryophyllene e α-pinene succeded each other as the second most abundant constituent, during the ripening. The aroma of the ripe fruit was characterized by presence of short-chain ethyl esters (C2-C6), whereas the green mango contained the highest concentration of δ-3-carene. Furthermore, some terpenes were detected exclusively at one of the stages.

Concentrações e associações geoquímicas de Pb e Zn em sedimentos do rio São Francisco impactados por rejeitos da produção industrial de zinco

Surface sediments from the River São Francisco were analyzed to investigate the impact, due to the presence of metals (Cd, Cu, Pb, Zn) in wastes from a metallurgical industry in the city of Três Marias/MG, Brazil. The concentrations and geochemical associations of Pb, Zn and trace metals associated with the minerals employed in zinc production were measured. Sediments close to discharge locations were highly contaminated with Pb (332-512 μg g-1) and Zn (7872-10780 μg g-1), with values decreasing rapidly due to dilution and hydraulic sorting. Evaluation of toxicity according to the Consensus-based Sediment Quality Guidelines indicated for Cd, Pb and Zn a high probability of adverse effects on aquatic biota at these sites.

Análise e discriminação de quimiotipos de Lippia graveolens H.B.K. da Guatemala por microextração em fase sólida, CG-EM e análise multivariada

SPME-GC-MS, PCA and HCA multivariate techniques were used in order to evaluate their applicability to discriminate the three chemotypes (thymol, carvacrol and mixed) described for L. graveolens of Guatemala. The leaves of L. graveolens are used for treatment of colds, bronchitis, and as seasoning for food preparations, yielding essential oil up to 4.34 %. Leaves of 35 individuals from eight populations, and eight composite samples were analyzed using a DVB/Carboxen/PDMS fiber and GC-MS. PCA and HCA were carried out using eight markers (p-cymene, cis-sabinene hydrate, linalool, terpinen-4-ol, thymol, carvacrol, (E)-caryophyllene and caryophyllene oxide). The three chemotypes of L. graveolens were satisfactorily discriminated.

Corrosion of steel reinforced concrete in the tropical coastal atmosphere of Havana City, Cuba

The influence of chloride deposition rate on concrete using an atmospheric corrosion approach is rarely studied in the literature. Seven exposure sites were selected in Havana City, Cuba, for exposure of reinforced concrete samples. Two significantly different atmospheric corrosivity levels with respect to corrosion of steel reinforced concrete were observed after two years of exposure depending on atmospheric chloride deposition and w/c ratio of the concrete. Changes in corrosion current are related to changes in chloride penetration and chloride atmospheric deposition. The influence of sulphur compound deposition could also be a parameter to consider in atmospheric corrosion of steel reinforced concrete.
