Dendrobium is a large genus in the family Orchidaceae that exhibits vast diversity in floral characteristics, which is of considerable importance to orchid breeders, biotechnologists and collectors. Native species have high value as a result of their medicinal properties, while their hybrids are important as ornamental commodities, either as cut flowers or potted plants and are thus veritable industrial crops. Thus, preservation of Dendrobium germplasm is valuable for species conservation, breeding programs and the floriculture industry. Cryopreservation represents the only safe, efficient and cost-effective long-term storage option to facilitate the conservation of genetic resources of plant species. This review highlights 16 years of literature related to the preservation of Dendrobium germplasm and comprises the most comprehensive assessment of thorough studies performed to date, which shows reliable and reproducible results. Air-drying, encapsulation-dehydration, encapsulation-vitrification, vitrification and droplet-vitrification are the current cryopreservation methodologies that have been used to cryopreserve Dendrobium germplasm. Mature seeds, pollen, protoplasts, shoot primordia, protocorms and somatic embryos or protocorm-like bodies (PLBs) have been cryopreserved with different levels of success. Encapsulation-vitrification and encapsulation-dehydration are the most used protocol, while PLBs represent the main explant explored.

Vitamin A is important to the proper development and functioning of the body, appearing in several metabolic functions. This experiment was conducted with aim evaluate to the vitamin A supplementation in diets for Goldfish Carassius auratus. The experimental was completely randomized with six treatments (0, 2.000, 4.000, 8.000, 16.000 and 32.000 IU of vitamin A kg(-1) diet) with four repetitions into 24 experimental cages, with capacity for 150 liters useful volume, made of mesh shading, installed inside a masonry circular tank with a capacity of 25 m(3) of water. 192 fish with an average initial weight of 6.66 +/- 0.57 g and initial length of 7.30 +/- 0.33 cm, feed at 8h, 11h, 14h and 17h at satiety were used. Evaluated the effects on productive performance and intensity of yellow-red coloring of the skin of the fish were. The Linear Response Plateau analysis of weight gain and length total, feed conversion and daily growth rate versus vitamin A requirement estimate showed 2,624, 2,385 and 2,358, 4,381 and 2,866 IU of vitamin A per kg diet, respectively. The data indicated that this vitamin has little or no influence on the intensity of the skin color of the Goldfish.

Euonymus japonica Thunb. (euonymus) plants were submitted for 9 months to two irrigation treatments using water from different sources: a control (C) water with electrical conductivity (EC) less than 1.2 dS.m(-1) and reclaimed wastewater (RW) with EC approximate to 4 dS.m(-1). At the end of the experiment, no differences in the total dry weight were observed between treatments, whereas the leaf dry mass increased (to the detriment of the root part in RW plants). Throughout the day, the stem water potential (Psi(stem)) of the RW plants was lower than in C, whereas stomatal conductance (g(S)) was slightly reduced in RW from 0800 HR to 1200 HR, but no significant variation in photosynthesis (P-n) or energy conversion efficiency (F'(v)/F'(m)) in photosystem II was detected through the effect of salinity. Gas exchange and fluorescence showed a tendency to increase after midday in plants treated with RW. The photosynthetic behavior and fluorescence of RW plants may have been related to the nitrogen and chlorophyll content of the leaves, confirming the resistance of the photosynthetic mechanism to salinity in this species in these conditions. The toxic effects produced by high concentrations of boron (B), sodium (Na+) and chloride (Cl-) were offset by the effect of other ions like magnesium (Mg2+), potassium (K+), and phosphorus (P) in plants irrigated with RW, thus improving their physiological status without decreasing their ornamental value.

A Trimezia juncifolia (Iridaceae) é encontrada nas regiões tropicais e subtropicais e possui características muito próximas das plantas do mesmo gênero e família. Ela é utilizada pela população de Botucatu, São Paulo, para a depuração do sangue, para feridas intermitentes e como antiinflamatório. Por possuir interesse econômico primordialmente ornamental, são raros os estudos que a caracteriza, facilitando as complicações que podem ocorrer por trocas de espécies. Por causa disso, este trabalho tem como objetivos descrever a morfologia externa da Trimezia juncifolia, visando a caracterização da droga vegetal, e a anatomia das raízes, bulbo, caule aéreo e escamas do bulbo, visando uma descrição microscópica farmacopeica. A caracterização morfológica da planta foi feita com o auxílio de estereomicroscópio binocular. Para o estudo anatômico de Trimezia juncifolia (beressol), foram selecionados exemplares que contenham raízes, caule subterrâneo, e caule aéreo. Os catafilos, bulbo, raízes e caule aéreo foram divididos em terço apical, médio e basal. Com ênfase no caule subterrâneo, o bulbo e as raízes tiveram as três frações analisadas, e o catafilo, as frações média e basal. Somente o terço médio do caule aéreo foi analisado.O material foi fixado em solução de glutaraldeído e formaldeído. Em seguida o material foi conduzido às etapas de inclusão em resina (metacrilato). O material incluído foi seccionado em micrótomo de rotação. As secções dispostas em lâminas foram coradas com azul de toluidina pH 6,8. Mesmo com a descrição das frações medianas da raiz, bulbo, catafilos e caule aéreo, ou escapo, na discussão deste trabalho foi dada ênfase à análise do caule subterrâneo e raízes. Mesmo que popularmente a fração utilizada da planta seja o bulbo, essa análise se faz necessária para auxiliar o controle de qualidade... (Resumo completo, clicar acesso eletrônico abaixo)

Among several sites in Brazil, where the local human community develop a consistent knowledge on the environment they live, there is Cananeia local authority in south coast of Sao Paulo. The history of Cananeia is presented as an ancient human occupation, which, nowadays, culminates in 12000 habitants that survive from tourism and fishing. Considering the great importance of the knowledge about plant toxicity, the objective of this work is to develop a study with the residents and its focus is their acquaintance with toxic plants, which occur on contiguous areas. After a preliminary recognition field work, the local authority under study was subdivided into two areas for sampling, characterized by the different levels of human occupation: (A) Island area, more occupied, and (B) Continental area, less occupied. The semi-structured interviews were conducted in both areas according to the “snow ball” method, due to the specifically interest of making comparisons. The plant species cited in the interviews were collected, herborized and identified. One proceeded quali- and quantitative analysis in order to elucidate differences between the studied areas, to establish relations among age/sex of the habitants, the cited species diversity and the practice of knowledge transmission. Were carried out 90 interviews (47 in island, 43 in continent) in which the habitants have cited 137 ethno-species. Both communities are much alike, although the manly differences were presented by the occupation and the uses of the toxic plants. At the island, were interviewed three key-informers, this fact that has not happened at the continent. It was not noticed significant statistical difference between the diversity of toxic plants knew by the habitants of both areas, but a huge dissimilarity was found. The most cited plants, especially the ornamental ones, at both areas are scientifically... (Complete abstract click electronic access below)

Coleus blumei Benth (Lamiaceae), popularly known in Brazil as heart-hurt or coleus-of-Java is an ornamental plant widely used due to the color of its leaves. Several species of the genus Coleus present compounds with antioxidant, antimicrobial and allopathic activities due to the presence of chemicals such coleonol, forskolin and rosmarinic acid. Therefore, this study aimed to carry out phytochemical study and biological tests to evaluate the antibacterial, antioxidant and allopathic activities of the 70% ethanol extract and its fractions ethyl acetate, dichloromethane and end aqueous fraction leaf of Coleus blumei Benth. The plant extract was prepared by turbolisis from the powder of dried leaves, as a solvent for extraction using 70% ethanol. The ethanol extract was fractionated with solvents dichloromethane and ethyl acetate. The phytochemical study identified the presence of saponins, free anthraquinones, flavonoids and anthocyanidins. In evaluating the antibacterial dichloromethane fraction showed activity against all microorganisms tested both in agar diffusion test and microdilution test. The 70% ethanol extract showed activity against the micro-organisms S. aureus and S. epidermidis in agar diffusion test and against all microorganisms tested in microdilution test. The ethyl acetate fraction showed activity against the micro-organism S. aureus in the agar diffusion test and against all microorganisms tested in microdilution test. The end aqueous fraction showed no activity against any micro-organism tested. In the test of evaluation activity allopathic dichloromethane fraction showed greater inhibition of seed germination and growth of tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill), followed by 70% ethanolic extract, the ethyl acetate fraction and the end aqueous fraction. In testing the antioxidant activity with DPPH ethyl acetate fraction showed higher antioxidant activity followed... (Complete abstract click electronic access below)

O presente trabalho foi realizado com o intuito de contextualizar o impacto do surto da doença de Chagas na comercialização do fruto de açaí no município de Pinheiro-MA. O açaí se destaca devido ao seu aproveitamento integral e por estar associado à agricultura familiar agroextrativista, além de sua importância socioeconômica nas regiões produtoras. É utilizado de inúmeras formas, como planta ornamental no paisagismo; construção rústica de casas e pontes; cobertura de moradias na área rural, remédio; produção de celulose; alimentação humana e animal, dentre outros usos, e sua importância econômica, social e cultural está centrada na produção de frutos e palmitos. O açaí é um fruto de alto valor energético e nutritivo, sendo consumido na região de estudo com farinha de mandioca, tapioca, peixe frito e em forma de suco, sorvete, entre outros. O uso da polpa de açaí generalizou-se em todo o país e o cultivo do açaizeiro e o processamento do seu fruto já ocorrem em vários estados brasileiros. Os métodos utilizados na investigação foram pesquisa documental, observação e aplicação de questionários no município de Pinheiro-MA. Os dados obtidos foram analisados e tabulados, sendo sumarizados em frequência, média e porcentagem. Com a pesquisa, constatouse que as pessoas diagnosticadas com a doença de Chagas foram contaminadas devido à ingestão de alimentos contaminados, algumas delas possivelmente por açaí, oriundo do município de Igarapé Mirim, estado do Pará. Quando os processadores e comerciantes da polpa de açaí foram indagados sobre a forma de transmissão da doença de chagas, quase metade dos entrevistados não soube responder à questão. Além disso, também foi constatado com a pesquisa que houve redução na comercialização da polpa do açaí, quando comparado ao mesmo período do ano anterior ao surto da doença na região. Isto demonstra a necessidade de um trabalho de conscientização da população e dos processadores do suco de açaí quanto às formas de transmissão e prevenção da doença, pois a higienização correta dos frutos ainda é o método mais eficiente de prevenção, sendo de suma importância que o produto passe por um processo de lavagem e de pasteurização.
