Processo infeccioso de Pseudocercospora musae e severidade da Sigatoka Amarela da bananeira em função do silício, potássio e cálcio em solução nutritiva

Yellow Sigatoka leaf spot, caused by Pseudocercospora musae (Mycosphaerella musicola), is one of main threats to banana production around the world. However, information regarding the infection process of P. musae and the influence of mineral nutrition on the disease severity could help with cultural control strategies and increase the fruit yield. Therefore, this work aimed to characterize the infectious process of P. musae in banana leaves, to study the effect of silicon (Si) and the interaction between potassium (K) and calcium (Ca) on the Yellow Sigatoka leaf spot severity. In the first study, samples were inoculated on the abaxial leaf surface with P. musae and analyzed at 12, 24, 36, 48, 72, 96, 120, 144, and 168 hours after inoculation (HAI) as well as 36 and 50 days after inoculation (DAI). The conidia germinated between 24 and 36 HAI and penetrated through the stomata between 96 and 120 HAI, or usually from 144 HAI. P. musae colonized intercellularly the spongy parenchyma at 36 DAI and inter- and intracellularly the palisade parenchyma at 50 DAI. The sporulation occurred at 50 DAI on the adaxial leaf surfaces. In the second study, banana plants grown in nutrient solution with 0; 0.5; 1.0; 1.8 and 3.6 mmol L -1 of silicic acid (H 4SiO 4) were inoculated with conidial suspension. The disease severity was assessed and data were integrated in the area under the disease severity progress curve (AUDSPC). The lower AUDSPC was 49.27% for the concentration of 3.05 mmol L -1 of H 4SiO 4 compared to plants grown without Si addition. Regarding silicon accumulation, at 3.6 mmol L -1 H4SiO 4, leaf Si content was 23.53% higher compared to the control. In the third study, plants grown in nutrient solution with 5 K concentrations (1, 2, 4, 6, and, 8 mmol L -1 ) combined with 5 Ca concentrations (1, 3, 5, 7, and, 9 mmol L -1 ), forming 25 treatments, were inoculated with conidial suspension. The disease severity was assessed and the data were integrated in the AUDSPC. There was no interaction between concentrations of K and Ca for AUDSPC, although the AUDSPC increased with the increase of K concentrations from 1 to 6 mmol L -1 . The K increase led to a reduction in chlorophyll a and b contents and in the N, P, Mg, B, Cu, Zn, and, Mn nutrients as well as increased the total plant dry weight.

Influência do etileno na regulação do florescimento de Coffea arabica L.

Coffee is one of the most valuable exported agricultural product worldwide as well as the second most traded commodity after oil. This crop represents a source of employment and considerably accounts for the revenue of the country, besides its undeniable importance for local and world socioeconomical scenery. The quality of the coffee drink is directly related to the fruit ripening stage, which is found in different stages at harvesting due to the sequential flowering, increasing costs with the production and generating a lower-quality beverage. The asynchronous flowering of the coffee tree comes from the uneven development of buds, which can be influenced by environmental factors, taking into account that the anthesis takes place after a water deficit period, followed by precipitation. Changes in the hormone balance have been observed after water deficit and rehydration cycles, and such oscillation on the water status of the plant increased the level of ethylene in some species. This finding led to the association between the requirements at the flowering stage of the coffee tree and the involvement of the ethylene in promoting anthesis. The application of 1- MCP (ethylene action inhibitor) triggered the anthesis in coffee trees. And, in coffee seedlings in greenhouse conditions after a period of water shortage followed by irrigation, the profile of gene expression of the biosynthesis route and signaling of ethylene are changed in leaves and roots. The increased levels of the ethylene precursor (ACC) in roots throughout the dry season and the transportation of this compound into shoots may be the signal to trigger the anthesis in coffee tree after rehydration. Thus, in order to better understand the role of the ethylene in regulation of flowering, we analyzed the effects of the exogenous application of 1-MCP in different physiological characteristics and in the expression of genes related to the ethylene biosynthesis and signaling pathways in coffee leaves and bud from plants under field conditions. The evaluations and tissue sampling were carried out in different times treatments implementation: T1 – control, T2 – 1-MCP+Break-Thru, and T3 – Break-Thru. There was influence of 1-MCP and Break-Thru in gas exchange parameters and of 1-MCP contributed to the increase in relative water content. RT-qPCR analyses showed a different behavior in relation to the profile of gene expression in leaves and buds analyzed in the present study (CaACS1 – like, CaACO1 – like, CaACO4 – like, CaETR4 – like) and the expression levels were changed a few hours (2h) after applying the products. However, there was flowering only in plants treated with 1-MCP, in the absence of rain and irrigation.
