Studies were conducted to determine if there was genetic variation in internal CO2 levels in sugar beet roots during storage and to determine the effects of resident bacteria, storage temperature, decay, and root weight on internal CO2 levels. Significant differences in internal CO2 levels were observed among different sugar beet lines. Internal CO2 levels of roots selected from American 3 Hybrid T were not correlated with the number of resident bacteria or weight of the roots after two storage periods. Root weight was negatively correlated with internal CO2 over all lines and the coefficient of determination was 2.2% (r2 × 100). Internal CO2 levels in roots with visible decay were significantly higher (5.21%) than CO2 levels (1.92%) in healthy roots. Higher storage temperature significantly increased internal CO2 levels in sugar beet roots. Our results show that there is genetic variation for internal CO2 levels in sugar beet roots.

ABSTRACT The leafminer Liriomyza sativae (Diptera: Agromyzidae) is one of the main pests of melon crop (Cucumis melo) in the Brazilian semiarid. The aims of this study were to determine the damaged leaf area and assess the physiological responses of melon plants submitted to different levels of infestation per larvae of L. sativae. The study was carried out in a greenhouse, using plants of melon of the cultivar Iracema (yellow melon). The design utilized was completely randomized, with five treatments {control (no infestation in the leaves) and four infestation levels (1; 10; 20 and 30 larvae per leaf)} and 10 replications (melon plants). Initially we evaluated the physiological aspects: photosynthetic rate (µmol CO2/m2/s), stomatal conductance (mol H2O/m2/s) internal CO2 concentration (µmol CO2/m2) and leaf transpiration (mmol H2O/m2/s). After the measurements of physiological aspects, the evaluated leaves of each plant were cut close to the petiole and scanned individually with a measuring scale on the side, being the determination of the damaged leaf area performed with the aid of software for processing and analysis of images. The averages of damaged leaf area observed were of 1.2; 6.3; 19.6 and 40.8 cm2 for infestations of 1; 10; 20 and 30 larvae/leaf respectively. In relation to the physiological aspects, the rate of photosynthesis, stomatal conductance and transpiration significantly decreased with the increase of leafminer larvae per leaf. The internal CO2 concentration increased with the increase in the number of larvae per leaf.

ABSTRACT In the last years, jambu has become popular and greatly appreciated, due to its remarkable taste. Thus, hydroponically cultivated jambu is promising, since it achieves better yield and production quality. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of ionic concentration in nutrient solution on growth, productivity and gas exchange of jambu. The experimental design was completely randomized, with five treatments and four replicates. The treatments consisted of variations of ionic concentration using the nutrient solution proposed by Hoagland & Arnon (25, 50, 75, 100 and 125%). The length of the main stem, stem diameter, number of inflorescence, leaf area, fresh and dry biomass (shoot, root and inflorescence), photosynthesis, stomatal conductance, transpiration, internal CO2 concentration, Ci/Ca ratio and instant carboxylation efficiency were evaluated. Ionic concentrations significantly affected the studied variables, except the stem diameter, the internal CO2 concentration and the Ci/Ca ratio. The number of inflorescences and the leaf area grew linearly with maximum values (37.8 units plant-1 and 1650.8 cm2 plant-1, respectively) obtained in ionic concentration of 125%. Maximum responses were observed for shoot fresh and dry mass (63.9 and 6.9 g plant-1), root fresh and dry mass (16.7 and 2.0 g plant-1) inflorescence fresh and dry mass (11.0 and 1.8 g plant-1), respectively, at ionic concentration of 125%. Liquid photosynthesis, stomatal conductance, transpiration and instant carboxylation efficiency achieved maximum responses of 17.9 µmol CO2 m-2 s-1, 0.3 mol H2O m-2 s-1, 6.3 mmol m-2 s-1 and 0.06 with estimated concentrations of 84, 70, 80 and 83% of ionic strength, respectively. Thus, we concluded that the ionic concentration of 125% is indicated to obtain a greater biomass accumulation.

Sucrose Loss

During storage of sugar beet, respiration and rots consume sucrose and produce invert sugar. Diseases that occur in the field can affect the magnitude of these losses. This research examines the storage of roots with rhizomania (caused by Beet necrotic yellow vein virus) and the effectiveness of rhizomania-resistant hybrids in reducing postharvest losses. Roots of susceptible hybrids from sites with rhizomania had respiration rates 30 days after harvest (DAH) that ranged from 0.68 to 2.79 mg of CO2 kg–1 h–1 higher than roots of the resistant hybrids. This difference ranged from 2.60 to 13.88 mg of CO2 kg–1 h–1 120 DAH. Roots of resistant hybrids from sites with rhizomania had 18 kg more sucrose per ton than roots from susceptible hybrids 30 DAH, with this difference increasing to 55 kg Mg–1 120 DAH. The invert sugar concentration of susceptible hybrids from sites with rhizomania ranged from 8.38 to 287 g per 100 g of sucrose higher than that for resistant hybrids 120 DAH. In contrast, differences between susceptible and resistant hybrids in respiration rate, sucrose loss, and invert sugar concentration in the absence of rhizomania were relatively small. Storage losses due to rhizomania can be minimized by planting resistant hybrids and processing roots from fields with rhizomania soon after harvest.

Objetivou-se com este estudo avaliar características fisiológicas, estado nutricional e produtividade em lima ácida 'Tahiti' com irrigação lateralmente alternada (partial rootzone drying – PRD). Nove tratamentos foram constituídos por diferentes reposições de lâmina de água aplicada, conforme a demanda evapotranspirométrica da cultura (ETc) e diferentes frequências de alternância no período compreendido entre a floração e a colheita, em dois ciclos produtivos da cultura, dispostos em delineamento em blocos casualizados com quatro repetições. O sistema de irrigação utilizado foi por gotejamento com duas linhas laterais e doze gotejadores por planta. Dos nutrientes analisados ficaram abaixo da faixa de suficiência apenas o teor de B nas plantas sob PRD a 50% da ETc e frequência de alternância (FA) de 7 dias, e de B e Mn sob PRD a 50% da ETc e FA de 21 dias e PRD a 75% da ETc e FA de 14 dias. Fotossíntese, transpiração, condutância estomática, concentração interna de CO2, radiação fotossinteticamente ativa e temperatura foliar variaram com a época e o horário de mensuração. Eficiência de carboxilação, eficiência quântica da fotossíntese e eficiência instantânea de uso da água (EUA) são maximizadas nos meses e horas dos dias com menores temperaturas. A PRD altera a concentração interna de CO2, transpiração, razão de carboxilação, razão de concentração de CO2 e produtividade. Há manutenção da produtividade com irrigação alternada a cada sete dias e PRD de 50% da ETc em relação à irrigação plena. Palavras-chave: Citrus, manejo da irrigação, déficit hídrico.  SANTOS, M.

A.PARTIAL ROOTZONE DRYING IN ACID LIME 'TAHITI' IN NORTHERN OF MINAS GERAIS BRAZIL  2 ABSTRACT The water conditions of the soil and climate change the water and physiological conditions of plants, influencing their development and production. This study aimed to evaluate  gas exchanges, leaf temperature, nutrient levels in leaves and yield in acid lime ‘Tahiti’ under partial rootzone drying (PRD). Nine treatments were used with different percentages of crop evapotranspiration and different frequencies of alternation, from the beginning of flowering to physiological mature fruits in two productive cycles, arranged in a randomized block design with four replicates. The irrigation system was dripped with two lateral lines per row of plants, with twelve emitters per plant. Only the concentration of B was insufficient in plants under PRD with 50% ETc and frequency of alternation (FA) 7 days, PRD with 50% ETc and FA 21 days PRD and 75% ETc and FA 14 days and Mn for PRD 50% of ETc FA and 21 days PRD and 75% of ETc and FA 14 days. Photosynthesis, transpiration, stomatal conductance, internal CO2 concentration, photosynthetically active radiation and leaf temperature in Tahiti lime parameters are influenced by the period and time of measurement. The carboxylation efficiency, quantum efficiency of photosynthesis and instantaneous water use efficiency is maximized in the months and hours of days with lower temperatures. The PRD causes changes in internal CO2 concentration, transpiration, rate of carboxylation, ratio of CO2 concentration and yield. The highest yield occurred for PRD with 50% of ETc alternating irrigation every seven days in relation to full irrigation. Keyword: Citrus, irrigation management, water deficit.
