Tipos de resistência a Alabama Argillacea (Huebner, 1818) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) envolvidos em genótipos de algodoeiro: II. Antibiose

Cotton genotypes resistance to Alabama argillacea (Huebner, 1818) due to antibiosis has been evaluated in laboratory trials (at 27 ± 2°C, 70 ± 10% relative humidity and 14 hours photoperiod). Six different genetic materials (T 1122-13-1, STO 285 N, JPM 157, T 953-13-4-2, CNPA 9211-21, and CNPA 9211-31) have been tested in a completely randomized experimental design, with ten replications, each one with ten larvae/genotype. Larvae have been supplied with leaves daily. The following variables have been scored: time length of several insect stages (from larvae to adult), average mass of larvae and pupae as well as average larval, pre-pupal and pupal mortality rates. All genotypes have revealed longer overall average time length of stage duration from larvae to adult, as compared to STO 285 N; however, CNPA 9211-31 and CNPA 9211-21 have shown the smallest average mass of pupae along with high frequencies of pre-pupae and larvae to adult mortalities. The results strongly suggest that antibiosis is one of the resistance mechanisms to A. argillacea in that two cotton genotypes.

Morphometry and expression of MyoD and Myogenin in white and red skeletal muscles of juvenile fish Colossoma macropomum (Cuvier 1818)

Colossoma macropomum, also known as tambaqui, is an economically important fish species, and interesting new studies have been published with the aim of improving the growth of this fish. In this work, we describe the morphometric characteristics, as well as the mRNA and protein expression levels of two myogenic regulatory factors (MRFs)-myod/MyoD and myogenin/Myogenin-in the white and red muscle types of tambaqui. A high proportion of white and red muscle fibers with large diameters suggest a hypertrophic growth process in the skeletal muscle during juvenile stages. Comparisons between muscle types showed that, in red muscle, myogenin transcript levels were significantly higher than those of myod. In contrast, MyoD protein levels were significantly higher than those of Myogenin in red muscle. These results suggest that in red and white muscles of juvenile tambaqui, independent post-transcriptional mechanisms for regulating MyoD and Myogenin expression may exist, which could be differentially activated during muscle growth. Furthermore, these data also suggest that specific control mechanisms may regulate distinct muscle phenotypes. © 2013 The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences.

Análise de desenvolvimento do tambaqui, Colossoma macropomum (Cuvier, 1818) (Pisces, Serrasalmidae), utilizando a massa de mandioca branca, Manihot esculenta (Crantz) como complemento alimentar em viveiros de piscicultura em área de várzea

O Estado possui condições favoráveis para o desenvolvimento da piscicultura, que se constituirá numa alternativa para a produção de proteínas de origem animal, capaz de auxiliar na redução dos acentuados déficits encontrados na dieta alimentar da população paraense de baixa renda, assim como, minimizar os problemas pontuais causados pela sobrepesca e poluição química. E as várzeas da Amazônia brasileira, constituem-se então, num grande potencial para o desenvolvimento da piscicultura racional, mantendo a sustentabilidade do ecossistema através de tecnologias de manejo, em substituição aos métodos extrativistas tradicionais e predatórios. Um dos principais entraves da piscicultura é o elevado custo a ração que chega a compor até 80% do custo total da atividade, visto que não existe uma dieta com produtos regionais que baixasse esse custo, O custo das rações extrusadas ofertadas na região extrapola o limite da economia, devido principalmente à agregação do frete, vista a escassez das indústrias locais, assim como os altos preços dos principais insumos, notadamente em se tratando da fração protéica que é mais onerosa da dieta. Com base nessa realidade, a região Amazônica lança mão de subprodutos da agroindústria de fácil aquisição e baixo custo, para minimizar os gastos com a piscicultura e garantir a presença do peixe na mesa da população, que é o alimento mais consumido. No experimento a espécie utilizada foi o tambaqui, Colossoma macropomum é uma espécie ideal para piscicultura em área de várzea em virtude da sua rusticidade. Com isso o estudo de dietas alternativas possibilita um cultivo que viabilize economicamente a prática. O experimento foi realizado na área de várzea da UFRA, onde foram submetidos a 3 tratamentos, onde: V1) foi ministrado ração extrusada 28% P.B.; V2) ração comercial extrusada 28% parcelada com massa de mandioca branca e V3) foi ministrado massa de mandioca branca. Ao final do experimento observou-se que o viveiro onde foi ministrado ração comercial apresentou melhor desempenho zootécnico, porém o viveiro 2 onde foi ministrado ração comercial extrusada 28% parcelada com massa de mandioca branca apresentou um desempenho similar ao anterior, obtendo consumo 50% menor de ração extrusada.

Influência do volume reduzido e do estádio fenológico da planta de soja no controle da Anticarsia gemmatalis (Hübner, 1818)

Pós-graduação em Agronomia (Entomologia Agrícola) - FCAV

Potencial do controle biológico para o controle de Pseudoplusia includens (Walker, 1857) e Anticarsia gemmatalis Hubner, 1818 (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) em soja

The soybean (Glycine max) is of great importance to national economic scenario being a major Brazilian agribusiness products. In most regions, the caterpillar-of-soy (Anticarsia gemmatalis) and caterpillar-false-Medideira (Pseudoplusia includes), act as defoliators, with the highest incidence, usually during the growing season, until the end of flowering, and thus causing a significant reduction in the production, which requires control measures. Due to market demands and the large external environmental awareness exists today, the methods of ecological management have been highlighted in modern agriculture. The use of chemical insecticides, besides being harmful to the environment and man, is, in most cases, the high cost to the farmer. The biological pest control using natural enemies can be used as an alternative control method. Thus this literature review is intended to provide the updated information about these pests and biological control as an alternative form of control, as well as one more tool in the integrated pest of soybean.

Morphological structure of the liver in tambaqui, Colossoma macropomum (Cuvier, 1818)

This research aimed to describe the macroscopic and microscopic liver of tambaqui, Colossoma macropomum, Teleost freshwater Family Characidae, of great economic interest for the Amazon basin. We used six juveniles aged between six month and one year, from the small holding Esteio, Alta Floresta/MT, that develops mainly fish farming. The body was photographed in situ, described macroscopically, and fragments were removed and processed by routine histological techniques through paraffin embedding and HE staining. The liver, located ventrally to the swim bladder and craniodorsally to the stomach, is brownish red and consisted of three lobes, the right lateral, the left lateral and the ventral lobe. Microscopically, the parenchyma consists of hepatocytes varying from irregular rounded hexagonal to round forms with a large and central nucleus, and arranged in linear strings limited by sinusoids and radiating to central veins, but with absence of liver lobules. The central veins are distributed throughout the parenchyma, while the portal space consists in most cases only of a hepatic vein and bile duct; elsewhere exist artery and duct. Formation of portal triads was not founde. Melano macrophages were frequently seen dispersed throughout the central parenchyma. The morphofunctional study of the digestive system of fishes of the Amazon basin is important to obtain knowledge about their weight gain, large scale production for human consumption and preservation of the species, and has also its importance for being used as bioindicators today.
