Taro (Colocasia esculenta) is a tuberous plant belonging to the Araceae family whose tuber is the 14th most consumed food crop in the world. Characterized as an unconventional vegetable, taro is grown in Brazil as a subsistence crop, but in recent years began to gain commercial importance, especially in the states of Espirito Santo, Minas Gerais and Rio de Janeiro. To avoid loss of genetic diversity of the local varieties traditionally grown in Brazil a core collection for taro germplasm has been developed by the Instituto Capixaba de Pesquisa, Assistência Técnica e Extensão Rural do estado do Espirito Santo (Incaper). The aim of this study was to perform a molecular characterization of the seven regional core collections. Genetic diversity of the cultivars was investigated by using SSR (Simple Sequence Repeats) polymorphisms, in seven loci (Xuqtem55, Xuqtem73, Xuqtem84, Xuqtem88, Xuqtem91, Xuqtem97 and Xuqtem110). Genetic diversity of the cultivars, based on the seven microsatellite alleles, was evaluated by using the software GelCompar II, showed that the loci Xuqtem73, Xuqtem88 and Xuqtem110 were the most informative, featuring 7, 10 and 8 alleles, respectively, a percentage of cultivars with polymorphic alleles of 85, 57 and 100% and identical PIC of 0.91. Based on Xuqtem110 locus analysis, the seven cultivars were grouped in two clusters. Chinês Regional Incaper cultivar was originated from Chinês cultivar which originated the São Bento cultivar, corroborating previous results. Macaquinho and Chinês cultivars were shown to be the primitive ones originating the allelic collections found in the states of Mato Grosso do Sul and Espirito Santo.

Cattle ticks Rhipicephalus(Boophilus) microplus are mainly controlled in Brazil by means of acaricide products, without any official policies in this regard. Acaricides continue to be sold indiscriminately, and this has contributed towards making the problem of resistance widespread, thus making diagnosis and monitoring of tick resistance essential. Here, bioassays (larval packet test) were performed on tick populations from the states of Rio Grande do Sul and Mato Grosso do Sul regarding their susceptibility to cypermethrin, deltamethrin and flumethrin. All the tick samples tested showed resistance to cypermethrin (10) (resistance factor (RF) ranging from 5.6 to 80.3) and deltamethrin (10) (RF ranging from 2.4 to 83.1). Six out of eight populations were resistant to flumethrin (RF ranging from 3.8 to 8.2). PCR molecular analyses did not show any T2134A mutations in the voltage-gated sodium channel gene, in any of the sampled populations. The results from this study highlight the critical status of resistance of the cattle tick to synthetic pyrethroids in the regions studied. Further studies are needed to identify the mechanisms responsible for the resistant phenotypes observed in the bioassays. This was the first detection of flumethrin resistance in Brazil.

O presente estudo buscou determinar através da técnica FT-IR e Raman, características do solo coletado no sítio arqueológico ‘Templo dos Pilares’ localizado no município de Alcinópolis. Através da análise de FT-IR, pode-se observar que os átomos de compostos orgânicos podem ter sua vibração com amplitude aumentada ao redor das ligações covalentes que os ligam, nesse processo cada mudança de nível de energia vibracional corresponde uma série de mudanças de níveis de energia rotacional e assim originando as bandas com diferentes comprimentos de ondas observadas no espectro.APPLICATION OF FT-IR AND RAMAN SPECTROSCOPY FOR CHARACTERIZATION OF SOIL OBTAINED IN EXCAVATION AT THE PILLARS-MS TEMPLE ARCHAEOLOGICAL SITE, MATO GROSSO DO SUL ABSTRACTThe present study sought to determine, using the FT-IR and Raman technique, characteristics of the soil collected at the archaeological site ‘Temple of the Pillars’ located in the municipality of Alcinópolis. Through the analysis of FT-IR, it can be observed that the atoms of compounds can have their vibration with increased amplitude around the connections of the bonds that connect them, in this process each change of level of vibrational energy corresponding to a series of level changes of rotational energy and thus originating the bands with different wavelengths observed in the spectrum.Keywords: FT-IR; Characterization; Archaeological.

Wild animals are exposed to numerous pathogens, including hemoparasites. The Trypanosoma and hemogregarinegroup are frequently reported as parasites in anurans (frogs, tree frogs and toads). The identification of these hemoparasites is usually made through stage observation of their morphology in the peripheral blood of the host. There areno studies, however, based on the biological cycle of these hemoparasites. The objective of the present study was toevaluate the presence of hemogregarines and Trypanosoma spp. in anurans captured in the States of São Paulo andMato Grosso do Sul- Brazil and to perform the morphological and morphometric characterization of these hemoparasites. The species of anurans examined were: Dendropsophus nanus, D. minutus, Leptodactylus chaquensis L. podicipinus, L. labyrinthicus, L. fuscus, Bufo granulosus, B. schneideri, Phyllomedusa hypocondrialis, Trachicephalus venulosus, Scinax fuscovarius and Hypsiboas albopunctatus. Of the total of 40 animals studied, four (10%)were positive for hemogregarines and eight (20%) were positive for Trypanosoma spp. Hemogregarine gamontsshowed variable morphology and, in addition to intraerythrocytic forms, extraerythrocytic forms were also observed.Extremely different forms of Trypanosoma were observed, as described in the literature, with the broad and oval forms being the most common.

Realizou-se a determinação de nutrientes calóricos e oligoelementos macro e microminerais em dois frutos nativos do Estado de Mato Grosso do Sul (MS), o araçá ( Psidium guineense SW.) e o tarumã ( Vitex cymosa Bert). Os dados obtidos mostraram que tanto o araçá quanto o tarumã, pelo alto teor de umidade, apresentam baixo valor calórico (respectivamente, 44,5 e 39,6k cal/ 100 g). Foi verificado em ambos os frutos valores (g/ 100 g de amostra integral) de glicídios redutores e nãoredutores (respectivamente, 7,8 e 9,3) mais elevados do que os dos demais nutrientes energéticos encontrados. Em relação aos teores de minerais, o araçá apresentou maior quantidade de cálcio (26,8 mg/ 100 g), magnésio (17,9 mg/100 g), manganês (0,3 mg/ 100 g) e cobre (0,12 mg/100 g), comparativamente ao fruto tarumã. Entretanto o tarumã apresentou teores mais elevados de fósforo (21,1 mg/100 g), potássio (287,8 mg/100 g) e ferro (0,43 mg/100 g) do que o araçá. Os frutos estudados podem ser considerados, de maneira geral, boas fontes de minerais quando comparados com frutos mais comumente consumidos pela população, como a maçã, a pêra e o abacaxi. PHYSICAL-CHEMICAL CHARACTERIZATION OF ARAÇA (Psidium guineense SW.) AND TARUMÃ (Vitex cymosa Bert.) OF MATO GROSSO DO SUL STATE (BRAZIL) Abstract The determination of caloric nutrients, oligoelements and macro and microminerals in two native fruits of Mato Grosso do Sul state, the araça (Psidium guineense SW.) and the tarumã (Vitex cymosa Bert.) was realized. The obtained data showed that even for araça and for tarumã, by their high moisture content, they showed low caloric value (respectively 44.5 and 39.6 Kcal/100 g). In both fruits it was verified reducing and non-reducing sugars (g/100g sample), being respectively 7.8 and 9.3 for araça and tarumã, showing higher values than the other energetic nutrients found. In relation to the mineral content, the araça showed greater calcium content (26.8 mg/100 g), magnesium (17.9 mg/100 g), manganese (0.3 mg/100 g) and copper (0.12 mg/100 g), comparatively to tarumã fruit. Although, the tarumã showed greater content of phosphorus (21.1 mg/100 g), potassium (287.8 mg/ 100 g) and iron (0.43 mg/100 g), in comparison to the araça. The studied fruits can be considered, in a general way, good sources of minerals when compared to fruits more commonly consumed by the population as apple, pear and pineapple.
