Competição entre megaspórios em milho

The experiments reported were started as early as 1933, when indications were found in class material that the factor for small pollen, spl, causes not only differences in the size of pollen grains and in the growth of pollen tubes, but also a competition between megaspores, as first observed by RENNER (1921) in Oenothera. Dr. P. C. MANGELSDORF, who had kindly furnished the original seeds, was informed and the final publication delayed untill his publication in 1940. A further delay was caused by other circunstances. The main reason for the differences of the results obtained by SINGLETON and MANGELSDORF (1940) and those reported here, seems to be the way the material was analysed. I applied methods of a detailed statistical analysis, while MANGELSDORF and SINGLETON analysed pooled data. 1) The data obtained on pollen tube competition indicate .that there is about 3-4% of crossing-over between the su and sp factors in chromosome IV. The elimination is not always complete, but from 0 to 10% of the sp pollen tubes may function, instead of the 50% expected without elimination. These results are, as a whole, in accordance with SINGLETON and MANGELSDORF's data. 2) Female elimination is weaker and transmission determined as between 16 to 49,5%, instead of 50% without competition, the values being calculated by a special formula. 3) The variability of female elimination is partially genotypical, partially phenotypical. The former was shown by the difference in the behavior of the two progenies tested, while the latter was very evident when comparing the upper and lower halves of ears. For some unknown physiological reason, the elimination is generally stronger in the upper than in the lower half of the ear. 4) The female elimination of the sp gene may be caused theoretically, by either of two processes: a simple lethal effect in the female gametophyte or a competition between megaspores. The former would lead not only to the abortion of the individual megaspores, but of the whole uniovulate ovary. In the case of the latter, the abortive megaspore carrying the gene sp will be substituted in each ovule by one of the Sp megaspores and no abortion of ovaries may be observed. My observations are completely in favor of the second explication: a) The ears were as a whole very well filled except for a few incomplete ears which always appear in artificial pollinations. b) Row arrangement was always very regular. c) The number of kernels on ears with elimination is not smaller than in normal ears, but is incidentally higher : with elimnation, in back-crosses 354 kernels and in selfed ears 390 kernels, without elimination 310 kernels per ear. d) There is no correlation between the intensity of elimination and the number of grains in individual ears; the coefficient; of linear correlation, equal to 0,24, is small and insignificant. e) Our results are in complete disagreement whit those reported by SINGLETON and MANGELSDORF (1940). Since these authors present only pooled date, a complete and detailed analysis which may explain the cause of these divergences is impossible.

Estudos sobre a alimentação mineral do cafeeiro, XXX: método de cultivo do cafeeiro, em meio artificial, por longo período de tempo

No intuito de cultivar o cafeeiro (Coffea arabica L.) em solução nutritiva foi idealizado um sistema automático, utilizando como substrato quartzo moido e solução nutritiva. O sistema foi construído de modo a necessitar o mínimo de mão de obra para manutenção, aliado a um baixo custo de construção (Cr$ 25.000,00). Baseia-se na irriga, ção de um certo número de vasos através da admissão de ar comprimido a tambores contendo a solução nutritiva, por um sistema de controle de tempo e pressão. Acha-se em funcionamento desde 23/09/1971, contendo plantas de cafeeiro em produção. Análises químicas de folhas mostram que as referidas plantas estão adequadamente nutridas.

Metodologia para infestação artificial de ovos de Diatraea saccharalis(Fabr., 1794) em cana-de-açúcar visando estudos com Trichogramma spp

A presente pesquisa teve por objetivo desenvolver técnicas para infestação artificial de cana-de-açúcar com ovos de Diatraea saccharalis (Fabr.,1794) visando aos estudos com Trichogramma spp. Avaliou-se a forma mais adequada de obtenção de ovos de D. saccharalis na planta, estudando-se o parasitismo por Trichogramma distinctum Zucchi, 1988 e T. galloi Zucchi, 1988 sobre ovos colocados em papel sulfite e sobre ovos obtidos na propria folha de cana-de-açúcar, através do confinamento de casais de broca sobre a mesma. Paralelamente, desenvolveu-se uma técnica para se estimar o número de ovos obtidos nas infestações artificiais, que consistia na colocação de uma folha transparente e quadriculada sobre a postura, avaliando-se o número de "quadrados" correspondentes à área da mesma. 0 numero de ovos era então estimado através de equações de regressão obtidas em função do tamanho da postura. A utilização de papel sulfite na infestação de ovos de D. saccharalis diminuiu o parasitismo por T. galloi e T. distinctum, sendo o confinamento de casais da broca-da-cana sobre a folha de cana-de-açúcar, a forma mais adequada para obtenção dos ovos desta praga, nos estudos com estes parasitóides. A metodologia desenvolvida para contagem de ovos de D. saccharalis mostrou-se valida para as infestações artificiais em campo.
