Ixora Coccinea

A mini-ixora é uma planta ornamental propagada comercialmente por meio de estaquia e apreciada para uso em paisagismo. O enraizamento das estacas, no entanto, ocorre em baixa porcentagem, resultando em baixa produção de mudas nos viveiros. Visando otimizar a propagação vegetativa desta espécie, avaliou-se o efeito de diferentes estimuladores de desenvolvimento radicular e substratos sobre o enraizamento de estacas da mini-ixora. As estacas semi lenhosas com 10 cm de comprimento foram cultivadas em estufa climatizada. O delineamento experimental utilizado foi em blocos casualizados em esquema fatorial 2 x 6, sendo dois substratos (S1: 100% de areia lavada e S2: 50% de bagaço de cana + 50% de vermiculita) e seis estimuladores de enraizamento (água - testemunha; extrato de tiririca; hormônio comercial; AIB 1000 mg/L; AIB a 2000 mg/L e AIB a 4000 mg/L). Utilizaram-se quatro repetições e dez estacas por parcela experimental. Após 120 dias, foram avaliados os seguintes parâmetros morfológicos: estacas enraizadas (%), mortalidade (%), comprimento do sistema radicular, qualidade do sistema radicular e número de brotos por estaca. A propagação vegetativa das estacas de mini-ixora utilizando como substrato a mistura de bagaço de cana-de-açúcar com vermiculita proporciona maior porcentagem de enraizamento, comprimento radicular e menor porcentagem de mortalidade das estacas. O cultivo das estacas de mini-ixora no substrato composto de bagaço de cana-de-açúcar e vermiculita dispensa o uso de estimuladores de enraizamento para a obtenção de estacas com melhor qualidade do sistema radicular.

It is a species appreciated for use in gardens. The rooting of the cuttings, however, occurs in a low percentage, which results in low production of plants. In order to optimize the vegetative propagation of this species was studied the effect of different stimulators and substrates on rooting of mini-ixora cuttings. Cuttings with 10 cm were grown under controlled conditions. The experimental design was randomized blocks in a factorial scheme 2 x 6; two substrates (S1: 100% washed sand and S2: 50% sugarcane bagasse + 50% vermiculite) and six rooting stimulators (water; tiririca extract; commercial hormone; IBA 1000 mg/L; IAB 2000 mg/L and IBA 4000 mg/L). We used four replications and ten cuttings per experimental plot. After 120 days, we evaluated the following morphological parameters: percentage of rooted cuttings, percentage of mortality, length of the root system, root system quality and number of shoots per cutting. The vegetative propagation of the mini-ixora cuttings using as substrate a mixture of sugarcane bagasse with vermiculite provided the highest percentage of rooting, root length and lower percentage of mortality of the cuttings. The cultivation of mini-ixora cuttings on the substrate composed of sugarcane bagasse and vermiculite does not require the use of rooting stimulators to obtain cuttings with good quality of the root system.

Container-grown rooted stem cuttings from 13 eastern white pine (Pinusstrobus L.) clones were paired with open-pollinated bare-root seedlings to compare growth through age 8 years of the two stock types. Before planting, measures of root system quality (number of roots per cutting, root distribution, and weighted root score) were recorded for each ramet to relate growth to initial root system quality. Rooted cuttings had higher survival than seedlings through year 8, 78 vs. 68%, respectively, but the difference was not statistically significant. Rooted cuttings were significantly shorter than seedlings after age 4 years, with differences between stock types increasing in magnitude through year 8. Measures of root system quality of rooted cuttings were not significantly correlated with survival or growth at any age.

The economic potential of guarana relies on the energetic and medicinal properties of its seeds, which can be used to produce soft drinks, sticks, powder, and syrup. Brazil is the only guarana producer on a commercial scale, and the guarana crop system is the main agricultural activity in Maués, Amazonas. Although several types of technology have been developed to reduce costs and increase guarana productivity, the most important optimization of seedling production by cutting still needs to improve the rooting percentage and reduce mortality rates. However, the use of rooting inducers for guarana is still unestablished. Therefore, we evaluated the rooting potential of herbaceous cuttings from three guarana cultivars under different indole-3-butyric acid (IBA) concentrations. We recorded qualitative data from the roots of the cuttings. The IBA doses did not increase the percentage of rooted cuttings; however, they increased the root system quality of the guarana cuttings. We present this rooting method for the guarana plant as the most appropriate and least costly for small producers.

Root Volume

Abstract A series of studies was carried out to determine quantitative relationships between root system quality parameters and ability to take up water, and expand the root system into adjacent soil. Root system size, described by displacement of water (i.e., root volume), determines the potential for water uptake prior to new root growth. Seedlings of comparatively high root volume also have superior root growth potential (RGP). After new root growth, the potential for water uptake is proportional to the number of new roots produced. The beginning of rapid root growth after planting is dependent on soil temperature. Root growth potential rank of open-pollinated families can change with soil temperature, which also alters RGP within family. Nursery practices that favor production of seedlings with high root volume and high RGP will increase the quality of seedlings of a given height. South. J. Appl. For. 10:87-92, May 1986.

Ixora Coccinea

The ixora is ornamental plant widely used in landscaping. In order to maximize the propagation of cuts, we evaluated the concentrations of auxin (indolbutiric acid) and the presence of leaves on the rooting in cuts of Ixora coccinea L. The experiment was conducted in randomized block design, in factorial design 3x4, with three types of cuts (without leaf, with two or four leaves), four concentrations of indolbutiric acid (0, 1000, 2000 and 4000 mg L-1), with four replications and 10 cuts in each experimental unit. After 53 days of implantation the experiment, evaluated the survival(%), rooting(%), sprouting(%), formation of callus(%), number, length and biomass of roots formed. The interaction of the type of cuts with concentrations of auxin was not significant for any of the variables analyzed. The survival of cuttings was not influenced by the treatments. Cuts with two or four leaves presented rooting and length of roots above the cuttings without leaves. The application of auxin does not substitute the presence of leaf in cuts of ixora in vegetative propagation. The vegetative propagation by cut of ixora can be made without application of auxin, and the leaves must be maintained in the cuttings.

The potential of bamboo as a plant for soil and water conservation can be identified by the morphological character. The quality of bamboo can be shown from the morphological character. Bamboo is a plant that is difficult to propagate generatively, while there is a paucity information on the vegetative propagation of bamboo species especially genus of Gigantochloa and Schizostachyum. The aims of this research is to characterize morphology of bamboo, studies of bamboo propagation with vegetative method andmeasure the potential of bamboo as a plant for soil and water conservation. 4 species of bamboo namely Gigantochloa atroviolaceae Widjaja, G. robusta Kurz., G. luteostriata Widjaja and Schizostachyum zollingeri Steud.are used in this study. The result ofmorphology characterization show that four species of bamboo have unique morphological characteristics from reed midribs, reed height, diameter, leaves and roots. The results of vegetative propagation of bamboo using different growing media show that thecompost + soil (1: 1) is the best for bamboo growth. Soil media can also be used as an alternative media for vegetative propagation. Sand media gives the lowest growth. G. atroviolaceae and G. robusta are species of bamboo that suitable for soil and waterconservation. Both species of bamboo are characterized by strong reed, dense growth and canopy, good quality of litter, and a strong root system that supports to soil and water conservation.

In this trial we aimed to assess the effects of dietary supplementation of 4-O-methyl-glucuronoarabinoxylan (4OMG) on growth performance, thigh meat quality and small intestine development of female Partridge-Shank broilers. A total of 240 1-day-old female Partridge-Shank broilers were randomly distributed to four groups with three replicates of 20 within each group. Groups received either 0, 15, 20 or 25 g 4OMG/kg DM of diet. During the whole experiment of 60 days, broilers had ad libitum access to water and feed. At pen level, feed intake was recorded daily and broilers were weighed at the start and end of the experiment. For each group, three pens with a total of 20 broilers were randomly selected to determine the thigh meat quality and the small intestine development of broilers. Broilers fed diets with higher 4OMG had greater final liveweight (P = 0.004), daily bodyweight gain (P = 0.004) and gain-to-feed ratio (P < 0.001), muscle pH values (P = 0.031) and redness (P = 0.001), duodenal weight index (P = 0.042), jejunal (P = 0.043) and ileal length (P = 0.049), duodenal (P < 0.001) and ileal villus height (P = 0.008), but lower percentage of dead birds (P < 0.001), drip loss (P = 0.042) and shear force value (P = 0.043) of the thigh muscles. These results indicate that increasing dietary supplementation of 4OMG may improve growth performance and meat quality of female Partridge-Shank broilers through better development of small intestine.

Telepathology System

Abstract Background Telepathology is the practice of reviewing and exchanging pathological images through telecommunication systems to obtain diagnoses remotely. Studying the factors that make such a system successful and favourable is important to ensure the merits of its implementation in clinical practice. Objective This study aims to evaluate the success of a telepathology system from the users’ perspectives, using specific evaluation criteria, namely: system quality, information quality, technical service quality, user satisfaction, and benefits. Methods A sequential explanatory mixed methods design was adopted in this study, which consists of two phases. Initially, a questionnaire was distributed via WhatsApp to all of the pathologists (total: 45) working at governmental hospitals in Kuwait. Followed by, semi-structured interviews with ten senior pathologists. Results Forty pathologists responded to the questionnaire, giving an 89% response rate. There were 42.5% of the respondents aged between 35–44 years old, and 52.5% were male. The quantitative results reveal that most of the respondents were satisfied with the quality of the telepathology system with a mean of 2.6025 (Standard Deviation (SD) = 0.47176), whereas they were dissatisfied with the quality of the information with a mean of 2.4100 (SD = 1.580) and the technical support services with a mean of 2.2750 (SD = 0.99535). In addition, there was disagreement on the benefits of telepathology in clinical practice among the pathologists with a mean of 2.4667 (SD = 0.77552). The qualitative results indicate that the lack of interest in and little experience with using the system were behind the general dissatisfaction of most of the respondents. All of the interviewees were satisfied with the performance of the telepathology system and considered it successful; however, the quality of the technical support services, including training workshops, was deemed deficient. Conclusion This study concluded that telepathology system in Kuwait is functioning well and has been successful in its implementation; however, pathologists are dissatisfied with it, mainly due to the deficient quality of the technical support services provided. In addition, the successful implementation of such advanced technologies requires careful steps to be taken on multiple levels: technical, organisational, and managerial. Recommendations were suggested.

Abstract Purpose Conventional anchorage with exclusively intraorally anchored appliances for non-compliance molar distalization combines a palatal acrylic button with periodontal anchorage. This type of anchorage is critically discussed because of the temporary hygienic impairment of the palate and the uncertain anchoring quality of the button. A purely dentally/periodontally anchored Pendulum K appliance was developed, which is exclusively anchored via four occlusal rests. The aims of this pilot study were to examine the suitability of the skeletonized Pendulum K for distalization of maxillary molars, and to investigate the quality of this alternative anchoring modality. Patients and methods In all, 10 patients received skeletonized Pendulum K appliances attached to all maxillary premolars for bilateral molar distalization. Supporting anchorage through an acrylic button adjacent to the anterior palate was not used. The pendulum springs were initially activated on both sides with a distalization force of 220 cN each and provided with uprighting and toe-in bends. The specific force/moment system was regularly reactivated intraorally by adjustment of the distal screw. Results The study demonstrates the suitability of the skeletonized Pendulum K appliance for the distalization of maxillary molars (3.28 ± 0.73 mm). Side effects on the molars were slight distal tipping (3.50 ± 2.51°/PP, 3.00 ± 1.41°/SN) and mesial inward rotation (average 2.75 ± 7.50° and 4.50 ± 12.77°). Significant anchorage loss occurred in the form of mesialization of the incisors by 1.40 ± 0.82 mm and of the first premolars by 2.28 ± 0.85 mm. Conclusion The skeletonized Pendulum K appliance allows compliance-free upper molar distalization. Exclusively dental/periodontal anchorage resulted in a lower percentage of molar distalization compared to a conventional anchoring preparation of the Pendulum K with a palatal acrylic button. Anchorage loss had a comparatively stronger effect on the anchoring premolars but less on the incisors. Typical side effects on the molars such as distal tipping and mesial inward rotation were remarkably low.
