The pair of lodicules situated at the base of the ovary and adjacent to the lemma of the wheat floret have long been known to be involved in the opening of the wheat floret at anthesis (see Arber 1965). At anthesis, the lodicules swell and force the lemma away from the palea, allowing the stamens to grow out from the floret. Some minutes later and presumably in response to a stimulus associated with pollination (male-sterile florets may remain open for many hours: Dr. A. T. Pugsley, personal communication) the lodicules collapse and the floret closes. We are studying the events which lead to this rapid swelling and degeneration of the lodicule in wheat and noticed that information about the nature of the vascular tissues in lodicules is very meagre.

Existem poucas informações sobre a melhor época de semeadura de milho, durante o período da “segunda safra” no norte de Mato Grosso. O objetivo do trabalho foi verificar o comportamento produtivo de três híbridos de milho, semeados em seis épocas, durante a “segunda safra,” ou “safrinha”, no norte de Mato Grosso, Sinop-MT. O experimento foi conduzido em um Latossolo Vermelho Amarelo distrófico típico argiloso, entre janeiro e julho de 2014. O delineamento experimental foi em blocos ao acaso, com quatro repetições em esquema fatorial 3 x 6. Utilizou-se três híbridos comerciais simples e “precoces”: Maximus®; Truck (Syn7316)® e Status (Syn7205)®. As épocas de semeadura ocorreram aos 0, 7, 14, 21, 28 e 35 Dias após a semeadura de 26/01, correspondendo as datas de 26/01; 02/02; 09/02; 16/02; 23/02 e 02/03 de 2014, respectivamente. Avaliou-se a altura de plantas, área foliar, massa seca, teor relativo de água e produtividade da cultura. No florescimento, os menores teores de água nas folhas ocorreram nas plantas semeadas entre os dias 16/02 e 23/02. O crescimento vegetativo do milho foi o menor na época de semeadura entre os dias 09/02 a 23/02. Os híbridos Truck®, Máximus® e Status® não apresentaram diferença de produtividade e são mais produtivos quando semeados no final do período de segunda safra, entre os dias 16/02 a 02/03.Palavras-chave: Zea mays L, milho segunda safra, matéria seca, área foliar, teor relativo de água. MAIZE SEED TIMES IN THE NORTH REGION OF MATO GROSSO ABSTRACT:Were not sufficient information’s about the best time sowing of corn crop, during period of maize off-season in the north of Mato Grosso. The objective of this work was to verify the productive behavior of three maize hybrids, sown in six seasons, during the "second harvest," in the north of Mato Grosso, Sinop-MT. The experiment was conducted in a typical clayey dystrophic Yellow Red Latosol between January and July 2014. The experimental design was a randomized complete block design with four replicates in a 3 x 6 factorial scheme. Three commercial hybrids were used: Maximus®; Truck (Syn7316) ® and Status (Syn7205) ®. Sowing times occurred on day after sowing of date based of 01/26; respectively for datas: 01/26; 02/02; 09/02; 16/02; 23/02 and 02/03 of 2014. The variables analyzed the height of plants, stem diameter, leaf area, dry matter, relative water content and crop productivity were evaluated. At flowering, the lowest leaf water contents occurred in the plants sown between February 16 and February 23. The maize vegetative growth was the lowest in the sowing season between 09/02 to 23/02. The Hybrids Truck, Maxima and Status had a productivity difference and are more productive when sown at the end of the second crop period, between February 16 to March 2.Keywords: Zea mays L., maize off-season, dry matter, leaf area, relative water content. DOI:

Physiological Analysis

Esta pesquisa objetivou avaliar os efeitos da salinidade nas relacoes hidricas e teor de pigmentos fotossintetizantes em mudas de pitangueira. Para tanto, foi desenvolvido um experimento em casa de vegetacao do Laboratorio de Fisiologia Vegetal, pertencente ao Departamento de Biologia da UFRPE, no periodo de dezembro de 2010 a abril de 2011. O delineamento experimental utilizado foi o inteiramente casualizado com quatro tratamentos salinos: 0 (controle), 30, 60 e 90 mM de NaCl, e com cinco repeticoes por tratamento. Aos 35 e 95 DAD (dias apos diferenciacao) decorreram as analises fisiologicas. Foram mensurados o potencial hidrico foliar e o teor relativo de agua em dois horarios: antemanha (4h) e meiodia (12h) e os pigmentos fotossintetizantes. A alta demanda evaporativa (12 horas) ocasionou reducoes significativas para o potencial hidrico foliar e teor relativo de agua na pitangueira. Nestes horarios tambem ocorreram diferencas nos pigmentos, entre os niveis de salinidade estudados. Os resultados indicam que a imposicao da salinidade propiciou reducoes no status hidrico das plantas. Em relacao aos pigmentos fotossinteticos, o estresse em curto prazo gerou sua diminuicao, porem em longo prazo, gerou aumento dos mesmos. A variavel fotossintetica estudada mais afetada foram os carotenoides. Palavras-chave: Potencial Hidrico Foliar, Teor Relativo de Agua, estresse salino, pigmentos fotossinteticos  Water Relations and Production of Pigments in Seedlings Photosynthetic Eugenia Uniflora l. Under Salinity Conditions   ABSTRACT This research had as objective evaluate the effects of salinity in the hydric relations and photosynthetic pigments amount in Eugenia uniflora L.. A experiment was developed in the greenhouse of the Laboratory of Vegetal Phisiology, UFRPE, Brazil, between December 2010 and April 2011. The experimental was designed with four treatments: 0 (control), 30, 60 and 90 mM NaCl with five repetitions each treatment. At 35 and 95 days of experiment physiological analysis were performed. It was measured the leaf hydric potential and the relative water content, at two different moments: pre-morning, AND MID DAY and the photosynthetic pigments. The high evaporative demand (mid day) caused significant reductions in the leaf hydric potential and relative water content in the E. uniflora. At the referred times it was also possible to observe differences in the photosynthetic pigments between the levels of stressing. Results indicate that the imposition of high salinity reduced the hydric status of the subjects. Relating to the photosynthetic pigments the short-term salt stress caused a reduction that was overcome in the long-term stressing. The most affected pigment studied were the carotenoids.  Keywords: Leaf hydric potential, relative water content, salt stress, photosynthetic pigments

Abstract Salinization leads to several worldwide damages in agricultural regions, mainly in semiarid regions where leaching of salt is poor due to limited and erratic rainfall. Cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) is a Malvaceae with wide genetic variability to salt stress. The identification of salinity tolerant genotypes is a dynamic target in a breeding program, and the selection is often based on plant phenotypes. Molecular markers are reliable tools to aid in these selection procedures. Aquaporin (AQPs) are channel proteins that play fundamental role in water relations and tolerance to environmental stresses. Plants have fine regulation of water transport through AQPs activities. In order to evaluate the AQP expressions of different cotton cultivars submitted to salt stress, we use molecular and physiological tools, based on RT-qPCR and gas exchange assays. Seven cultivars were submitted to 95 mM NaCl, started at V3 stage (21 days after emergence), during 72 h. At the end of stress treatment, root tissues were used to total RNA extraction, followed by cDNA synthesis and RT-qPCR analyzes. Three sets of specific primers were used, drawn from AQP accessions deposited in NCBI. Additionally, full expanded leaves were used to gas exchange assays and to estimate the relative water content. The dry matter of the shoots was also evaluated. Based on pattern of AQPs transcripts, we found that all semiarid tolerant cultivars (BRS Seridó, 7MH, CNPA MT 2009 152 and BRS 416) showed downregulation of AQP subtypes, mainly GhPIP1;1 and GhTIP2;1 whose action is characterized as tolerant to salinity. The results of gas exchanges, relative water content and dry matter were consistent with the molecular findings in these cultivars, confirming that GhPIP1;1 and GhTIP2;1, located at plasma membrane and vacuoles, respectively, could be adopted as AQP markers for identification of cotton tolerant to salt stress.

Salinity is the main environmental factor accountable for decreasing crop productivity worldwide. The effects of NaCl salinity on plant growth (leaf relative water content (RWC), leaf dry weight (LDW), shoot length (SL), number of leaves (NL), number of branches (NB) and total leaf area (TLA) and physiological characteristics (stomatal conductance (gs), transpiration rate (TR), net photosynthetic (Pn), yield of photosystem II (ΦPsII) and the intercellular CO2 concentration (CO2int) in peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) varieties (‘Vanda’, ‘P244601’ and ‘Pl184948’, widely used in Cameroon, Tanzania and Ghana, respectively, were investigated under hydroponic condition. Plants were subjected to four levels of NaCl (0, 40, 80 and 120 mM) at early seedling growth stage of plant development. Application of NaCl treatment led to a significant decrease in LDW, SL, NL, TLA, Pn, gs, TR and CO2int concentration of ‘Vanda’ and ‘P244601’ compared to untreated plants while the plant growth inhibition was notably noted at 120 mM NaCl in ‘P1184948’ for LDW, SL and NB. The highest depressive effect was detected in gs of salt-sensitive ‘Vanda’ while the lowest were recorded in gs of salt-tolerant ‘P1184948’ at high salinity level. Enhanced NaCl concentrations led to a significant increase in ΦPSII of ‘P1184948’ compared to ‘Vanda’, ‘P244601’ and untreated plants. Leaf CHL content was significantly increased in moderately-tolerant ‘‘P244601’ and salt-tolerant ‘P1184948’ at 80 mM NaCl compared to salt sensitive ‘Vanda’ and untreated plants. The depressive effect of salt on RWC was recorded at 120 mM NaCl in peanut leaves of all varieties. Under salt stress ‘P1184948’ was observed to have relatively higher tolerance on average of all growth and physiological traits than ‘Vanda’ and P244601’ suggesting that it could be grown in salt-affected soils.
