ABSTRACT

This study was carried out in order to determine effects of calcium nitrate and humic acid applications on pepper seedling growth under saline condition. A mixture of soil:sand (1:1) was used as a plant growing media including 90 mg kg-1 P2O5, 180 mg kg-1 K2O and 250 mg kg-1 N. Four different doses of humic acid (0, 1000, 2000 and 4000 mg kg-1) and calcium nitrate (0, 50, 100 and 150 mg kg-1) were applied into the growing media. Before sowing Demre variety pepper seeds, 60 m mol NaCl was added into 300 cm3 soil:sand mixture in each pot. Applications of humic acid and calcium nitrate significantly affected pepper seedling growth. 1000 and 2000 mg kg-1 humic acid and 50 mg kg-1 calcium nitrate applications increased fresh and dry leaf weight, fresh and dry root weight, stem diameter, root length and shoot length. The highest rates of humic acid (4000 mg kg-1) and calcium nitrate (100 and 150 mg kg-1) decreased these criteria of pepper seedling under the saline soil condition.

ABSTRACT

Visando a dar suporte a trabalhos de melhoramento genético para porta-enxertos de pera e ajuste de protocolo de germinação de pólen para fins de polinização intra e interespécies, objetivou-se ajustar os componentes básicos do meio de cultura e as condições ambientais para a realização de testes de germinação in vitro e viabilidade de grãos de pólen dos porta-enxertos para pereiras 'Taiwan Nashi-C' (Pyrus calleryana) e 'Taiwan Mamenashi' (P. betulaefolia). O pólen utilizado foi obtido de anteras provenientes de flores em estádio de balão. Em seguida, com auxílio de um pincel n°2, os grãos de pólen foram espalhados sobre a superfície de placas de Petri, contendo 20ml de meio de cultura de acordo com os seguintes experimentos: 1) concentrações de sacarose (0, 30, 60 e 90g L-1) e agar (4, 6, 8 e 10g L-1); 2) concentrações de nitrato de cálcio (0, 200, 400 e 800mg L-1) e ácido bórico (0, 400, 800 e 1200mg L-1); 3) valores de pH (4,0; 4,5; 5,0; 5,5; 6,0 e 6,5); 4) temperaturas (20; 25; 30 e 35); e 5) tempo de emissão do tubo polínico (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 e 12 horas após a inoculação), os quais foram montados de forma sequencial. A utilização de 10g L-1 de agar e 90g L-1 de sacarose para o porta-enxerto 'Taiwan Mamenashi' e 47,78g L-1 para 'Taiwan Nashi-C', com 795 a 838mg L-1 de ácido bórico, na ausência de nitrato de cálcio, pH entre 5,2 e 5,8 e temperatura de 28°C, proporcionou as melhores condições de germinação de grãos de grãos. A porcentagem máxima de polens germinados é obtida com oito horas após a inoculação para 'Taiwan Nashi-C' e com 12 horas para 'Taiwan Mamenashi'.


In order to support the works with genetic improvement for pear rootstocks and adjust the pollen germination protocol for intra and inter species polinization, this study aimed to adjust the culture medium basic compounds and environmental conditions for the realization of in vitro pears pollen grains germination and viability tests of 'Taiwan Nashi-C' (Pyrus calleryana) e 'Taiwan Mamenashi' (P. betulaefolia) pear rootstock. Thus, five experiments were performed: 1) Sucrose concentrations (0, 30, 60 and 90g L-1) and agar (4, 6, 8 and 10g L-1); 2) calcium nitrate (0, 200, 400 and 800mg L-1) and boric acid (0, 400, 800 and 1200mg L-1); 3) pH (4.0; 4.5; 5.0; 5.5; 6.0 and 6.5); 4) temperatures (20; 25; 30 and 35 ) and 5) emission time of the pollen tube (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 12 hours after inoculation), which were assembled sequentially. The use of 10g L-1 of agar combined with 90g L-1 sucrose for the rootstock 'Taiwan Mamenashi' and 47.78g L-1 for the 'Taiwan Nashi-C', with 795 to 838mg L-1 of boric acid, under absence of calcium nitrate and pH between 5.2 and 5.8 and temperature of 28 °C, provided the best conditions to the germination of the pollen grains. The maximum percentage of germinated pollen is obtained with eight hours after inoculation for 'Taiwan Nashi-C' and twelve hours for 'Taiwan Mamenashi'.
