ABSTRACT

En el beneficiado del cacao se producen una gran cantidad de residuos, las mazorcas generalmente son desechadas dentro de los mismos cultivos y genera problemáticas como la proliferación de insectos y microorganismos patógenos. De estos desechos las cáscaras son las de mayor relevancia. La Escuela de Ingeniería Química de ITCA-FEPADE evaluó añadirle valor a este subproducto, incorporando desechos de cáscara de cacao en la formulación de un sustrato para el cultivo de plántulas de hortalizas. El objetivo de esta investigación fue obtener un sustrato orgánico que sirva de soporte material y nutritivo a partir de cáscaras de cacao criollo. La biomasa vegetal se caracterizó teniendo en cuenta parámetros como el porcentaje de humedad, pH, porcentaje de cenizas, contenido de potasio, nitrógeno y fósforo. Se ejecutaron pruebas comparativas de formulación del sustrato, siembra, cultivo y crecimiento de las plántulas de hortalizas de tomate y pepino, obteniendo como resultado la fórmula óptima de un sustrato y abono orgánico y el mejor medio de desarrollo. De los resultados obtenidos se concluye que, a partir de un adecuado procesamiento y aprovechamiento de las cáscaras de cacao, se puede transformar este desecho en un producto biomaterial alternativo que genera una opción de bioprospección agroindustrial. Los valores obtenidos en la caracterización fisicoquímica de las cáscaras de las mazorcas, dependen de condiciones como el tipo de suelo, variables agrometeorológicas, calidad de agua, abono y especie de la planta de cacao. El escenario de siembra condiciona el desarrollo óptimo de las plántulas; los factores como requerimiento de agua, distribución de nutrientes y estabilidad de las plántulas, se ven afectados por la relación del espacio de germinación. Como resultado de la caracterización fisicoquímica, se obtuvo: pH de 5.7, cenizas 18.83%, humedad 73.56%, celulosa 21.39%, lignina 39.81%, nitrógeno total 0.02%, fósforo total 0.02% y ausencia de potasio.


In the cacao beneficiation, a large amount of waste is produced, generally, the cacao pods are discarded within the same crops and generate problems such as the proliferation of insects and pathogenic microorganisms. The shell are the most relevant this waste. In Escuela de Ingeniería Química of ITCA-FEPADE the incorporation of cacao shell waste in the formulation of a substrate for growing vegetables was evaluated because the giving benefit to these by-products. The objective of this research was to obtain a substrate that serves as material and nutritional support for vegetable seedlings, from creole cacao shells. The vegetal biomass was characterized taking into account parameters such as moisture percentage, pH, ash percentage, potassium, nitrogen and phosphorus content. Subsequently, comparative tests of formulation, planting and growth of vegetable tomato and cucumber seedlings were carry out, obtaining as result, the optimal formula for the substrate and the best development environment. It concludes that, through an adequate processing and use of the cacao shell, it is possible to transform a waste into an alternative biomaterial product that generates an agro industrial bioprospecting option. The values obtained in the physicochemical characterization of the shells of cacao pods depend on conditions such as soil type, agrometeorological variables, water quality, fertilizer and cacao plant species. The planting environment determines the optimal development of the seedlings, factors such as water requirement, nutrient distribution and seedling stability seems affected because relation of the germination space. The results of the characterization were a pH of 5.7, ashes 18.83%, humidity 73.56%, cellulose 21.39%, lignin 39.81%, total nitrogen 0.02%, total phosphorus 0.02%, and total phosphorus 0.02% and an absence of potassium.

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT: The differentiation of seedling growth and development is the result of the vigor level of the seed lot. Because of this, knowing the seedling growth curve is essential for the evaluation of the seedling length test, to be carried out at the moment when any differences in vigor really manifest, thus being able to reduce the time of evaluation of the test. In this research, the objective was to determine the most efficient time interval to perform the seedling length test in soybean seeds, depending on the vigor levels. The evaluated characteristics were percentage of seed germination, first germination count, emergency, days for emergence, aerial, root and total length (evaluated every 12 hours), aerial, root and total dry mass in completely randomized design. High vigor seeds originated seedlings with higher growth rates (cm. h-1), with vigor being one of the factors that interfere in the seedling length test. After 96 hours of the seedling length test, there was a statistical differentiation between the three vigor levels tested. The soybean seedling length test between lots, with different vigor, can be performed 96 hours after sowing.


RESUMO: A diferenciação do crescimento e desenvolvimento das plântulas, é resultado do nível de vigor do lote das sementes. Em virtude disto, conhecer a curva de crescimento das plântulas é fundamental para que a avaliação do teste de comprimento de plântulas, seja realizada no momento em que realmente se manifestem as eventuais diferenças de vigor, podendo assim reduzir o tempo de avaliação do teste. No trabalho, o objetivo foi determinar o intervalo de tempo mais eficiente para realizar o teste de comprimento de plântula em sementes de soja, em função dos níveis de vigor. As características avaliadas foram germinação, primeira contagem de germinação, emergência, dias para emergência, comprimento de parte aérea, raiz e total (avaliados de 12 em 12 horas), massa seca de parte aérea, raiz e total em delineamento inteiramente casualizado. As sementes de alto vigor originaram plântulas com maiores taxas de crescimento (cm. h-1), sendo o vigor um dos fatores que interfere no teste de comprimento de plântulas. Após 96 horas do teste de comprimento de plântula ocorreu a diferenciação estatística entre os três níveis de vigor testados. O teste de comprimento de plântula de soja entre lotes, com vigor distinto, pode ser realizado 96 horas após a semeadura.

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT: The aim of this paper was to verify the viability of digital image processing in the measurement of rice seedling and its potential use as seed vigor test. The experiment took place at the Laboratório Didático de Análise de Sementes, located in Capão do Leão (RS), using seeds of eight rice cultivars: Irga 424, Puitá Inta CL, BRS Esmeralda, SCS 116, Guri Inta CL, BRS Pampa, BRSGO Serra Dourada and Olimar. An image processing system (IPS) was used to measure length and area of shoot and root as an index of seed vigor in rice seeds. The experiment design was completely randomized with five replications. The evaluated variables were root and shoot length in graded ruler and by image, root and shoot area, and field emergence. Results obtained with the IPS were correlated with other quality tests though the Pearson tests. Determination of shoot length and leaf area of the seedlings obtained through IPS is effective for assessing the vigor of rice seeds.


RESUMO: O objetivo neste trabalho foi verificar a viabilidade do processamento digital de imagens na mensuração de plântulas de arroz e sua potencial utilização como teste de vigor em sementes. O experimento foi realizado no Laboratório Didático de Análise de Sementes, localizado no Capão do Leão (RS), utilizando sementes de oito cultivares de arroz: Irga 424, Puitá Inta CL, BRS Esmeralda, SCS 116, Guri Inta CL, BRS Pampa, BRSGO Serra Dourada e Olimar. Uma ferramenta de processamento de imagens (FPI) foi utilizada para mensurar o comprimento e a área da parte aérea e de raízes de plântulas de arroz de modo a classificar as sementes em níveis de vigor. O delineamento experimental foi inteiramente casualizado com cinco repetições. As variáveis avaliadas foram comprimento de raiz e parte aérea em régua graduada e pela imagem, área de raiz e parte aérea e emergência a campo. Os resultados obtidos com o FPI foram correlacionados com outros testes de qualidade por correlação de Pearson. A determinação do comprimento de parte aérea e área foliar de plântulas obtidos através do FPI é efetivo para avaliar o vigor de sementes de arroz.

ABSTRACT

La moringa (Moringa oleifera Lam.), recientemente introdu cida en el departamento de Córdoba - Colombia, es sembrada para forraje, alimento y medicina en humanos. Su semilla es almacenada en diferentes tipos de recipientes, bajo condiciones oscilatorias de temperatura y de humedad relativa, que influyen en la germinación, el vigor y la calidad de plántulas. El objetivo fue evaluar la calidad fisiológica de la semilla en diferentes tipos de envases, en ambientes controlados y al ambiente local, durante un año de almacenamiento. Se utilizó el diseño experimental completamente al azar, con cinco tratamientos: i) en nevera y envase de aluminio, a 7°C y 77,0% de humedad relativa (H.R.); ii) en nevera y envase de plástico, a 7°C y 77,0% H.R.; iii) en cuarto frío y envase de aluminio, a 6°C y 70% H.R.; iv) en cuarto frío y envase de plástico, a 6°C y 70% H.R. y v) sin refrigeración, en envase de vidrio, a temperatura media de 28°C y H.R. promedio de 74%. Se usaron semillas de árboles de la región. Mensualmente, se evaluó el porcentaje de germinación, el índice de velocidad de germinación, el contenido de humedad, la altura de plántula y el número de foliolos. La semilla de moringa, almacenada bajo condiciones ambientales del valle del Sinú, pierde su calidad fisiológica en 150 días, por los efectos de las altas temperaturas y fluctuaciones de humedad, que causan su deterioro. El almacenamiento bajo refrigeración, en envase de plástico o aluminio, permite conservar su potencial fisiológico, hasta por 360 días.


The moringa (Moringa oleifera Lam.) recently introduced into the department of Córdoba - Colombia, is planted for fodder, food and human medicine. Seeds are stored in different types of containers under oscillatory conditions of temperature and relative humidity, influencing germination, vigor and seedling quality. The objective was to evaluate the physiological seed quality in different types of packaging in both controlled environments and the local environment during a year of storage. The experimental design was completely randomized with five treatments. i) in a refrigerator and aluminum container 7°C and 77.0% relative humidity (RH), ii) in a refrigerator and plastic container 7°C and 77.0% RH, iii) in cold room and aluminum container 6°C and 70% RH, iv) cold room and plastic container 6°C and 70% RH, v) without refrigeration in glass container at average temperature of 28°C and HR average of 74%. Seeds of regional grown trees were used. Monthly physiological quality based on the percentage of germination, germination rate index, moisture content, seedling height and number of leaflets was evaluated. Moringa seeds stored under ambient conditions of the Sinú valley loses its physiological quality in 150 days, due to the effects of high temperature and humidity fluctuations that cause deterioration. The storage under refrigeration, in plastic or aluminum packaging, allows to preserve its physiological potential for up to 360 days.

ABSTRACT

O trabalho propôs-se a verificar a transmissibilidade de Sclerotinia sclerotiorum de sementes de canola, cártamo, crambe, girassol, nabo forrageiro e níger inoculadas artificialmente e suas implicações na emergência de plântulas. O isolado fúngico foi repicado em placas de Petri, contendo meio BDA, incubado a 20ºC e fotoperíodo de 12 horas. Após o crescimento do patógeno, foram colocadas 50 sementes de cada cultura por placa, onde permaneceram por 20 horas. Como testemunha, utilizaram-se sementes incubadas nas mesmas condições, porém apenas em meio BDA. Observou-se que S. sclerotiorum pode ser transmitido para as plântulas das culturas quando associado às suas sementes, sendo estas uma importante fonte de inóculo. O fungo provocou tombamento de pré e pós-emergência em todas as espécies estudadas.


The study aimed to verify the transmission of Sclerotinia sclerotiorum of rapeseed, safflower, crambe, sunflower, radish and niger seed (artificially inoculated) and its implications on seedling emergence. The fungal isolate was peaked in Petri dishes containing PDA medium and incubated at 20°C and 12 hours photoperiod. After the growth of the pathogen, 50 seeds were placed on each plate cultures where they remained for 20 hours. As a control we used seeds incubated under the same conditions, but only on PDA. It was observed that S. sclerotiorum can be transmitted to seedlings of crops when associated with its seeds, being an important source of inoculum. The fungus caused damping-off in all of the studied species.

ABSTRACT

Resumen Este estudio se realizó entre Febrero 2011 y Enero 2012, en el bosque de mangle del Estero Tortuga. Se establecieron un total de seis parcelas, de 9 m2 cada una, con el fin de evaluar el porcentaje de supervivencia y la tasa de crecimiento de las plántulas de Rhizophora racemosa (G. Mey.) y Pelliciera rhizophorae (Triana & Planch.). Al final del estudio todas las parcelas presentaron un 100% de mortalidad, lo que indica que la zona no está reclutando árboles jóvenes y por lo tanto no se está regenerando naturalmente. Los resultados de este estudio sugieren que la baja influencia de la marea, la baja salinidad del manto freático y la alta tasa de deposición de sedimentos, son las causas de la nula supervivencia de las plántulas y del deterioro de los individuos adultos. Se realizó un análisis comparativo de las zonas de manglar declaradas Patrimonio Natural de Estado y el ecosistema de manglar del Estero Tortuga, el cual muestra que existen áreas que no se encuentran protegidas bajo esta categoría. Se recomienda actualizar esta información con el fin de contar con un registro preciso sobre la ubicación de los manglares de la zona. Además, es prioritario que se aborde el manejo de la cuenca Térraba Sierpe, con el fin de disminuir la cantidad de sedimentos que se depositan en los manglares de la zona.


Abstract The study was conducted from February 2011 to January 2012, in the mangrove forest of Tortuga Estuary. A total of six parcels, each measuring 9m2, were established in the area, to evaluate the survival and growth rates of the mangrove seedlings. By the end of the study all parcels presented 100% mortality, indicating that the area is not recruiting young trees and therefore is not regenerating naturally. The results of this study suggest that the low salinity of the water table and the high rate of deposition of sediments, are the causes of the low survival rate of the seedlings and could also be affecting the adult individuals. The adult trees presented deteriorated health signs such as decomposition of their stilt roots and total loss of foliage. The borders of this ecosystem were georeferenced and compared with the official map that declares the Natural Patrimony of the Country, to determine areas that should be protected under this category. In general the mangrove forest of this estuary can be divided in two zones: the first one is characterized by a mature forest of mainly two species: Rhizophora racemosa (G. Mey.) and Pelliciera rhizophorae (Triana & Planch.). The second one is located in the banks of sand of the estuary, where the dominant specie is Laguncularia racemosa (C.F. Gaertn) in young stages. Both of these areas include mangrove ecosystems that are not included in the Natural Patrimony category. Rev. Biol. Trop. 63 (Suppl. 1): 209-218. Epub 2015 April 01.

ABSTRACT

Parkia pendula (Willd.) Walp. (Fabaceae) is a neotropical species of the genus Parkia more abundantly distributed in Central to South America. From the seeds of P. pendula a glucose/mannose specific lectin (PpeL) was isolated that has been characterised and used as a biotechnological tool but until now this is the first manuscript to analyse P. pendula mRNA expression in seedlings. For this porpoise a Differential display reverse transcription polimerase chain reaction (DDRT-PCR) was used to evaluate the expression of P. pendula lectin mRNAs in non-rooted seedlings. No bands were observed in the agarose gel, indicating the absence of mRNA of PpeL seedlings. our findings confirm that lectins mRNAs are differently regulated among species even if they are grouped in the same class.


Parkia pendula (Willd.) Walp. (Fabaceae) é a espécie neotropical do gênero Parkia mais abundantemente distribuída na América Central a do Sul. Das sementes de P. pendula foi isolada uma lectina glicose/manose específica (Ppel) que foi caracterizada e usada como ferramenta biotecnológica, porém até o momento esse é o primeiro artigo a analisar a expressão do mRNA nas plântulas de P. pendula. Para esse propósito uma reação de PCR diferencial de transcriptase reversa (DDRT-PCR) foi utilizada para avaliar a expressão do mRNA da lectina de P. pendula em plântulas não enraizadas. Nenhuma banda foi observada no gel de agarose, indicando a ausência de mRNA das plântulas de PpeL. Nossos achados confirmam que os mRNAs de lectinas são regulados de forma diferentes entre as espécies, mesmo que sejam agrupadas na mesma classe.

ABSTRACT

Seedling establishment is one of the most risky stages of plants, especially in arid and semiarid regions, where low water availability and high solar radiation influence its emergence, development and survival. In seasonally dry xerophytic forests occurring in North-Western Córdoba, central Argentina, five neotropical species of Acacia co-exist: A. aroma, A. caven, A. atramentaria, A. gilliesii and A. praecox. With the aim to evaluate growth variables and survival of these five species seedlings, in response to water stress and different light availability conditions, a greenhouse experiment was undertaken from March to June of 2010. Although small differences were found between species (F=5.66, p=0.001), all of them showed high percentages of seedling survival in response to different light and water treatments, suggesting that seedlings would be tolerant to water stress and could be established both in light and shade. On the other hand, although all species showed an increase in growth in light conditions and without water stress, we have found some trends towards a greater growth in the seedlings of A. aroma, A. caven and A. atramentaria when compared to those of A. praecox and A. gilliessi in most of the variables considered (F=41.9, p<0.0001; F=7.06, p<0.0001; F=53.59, p<0.0001). This pattern was confirmed through a cluster analysis that classified the species in two main groups. These results, together with others already reported, would indicate a regenerative niche differentiation that might be favoring the regional coexistence of these five species in semiarid forests in central Argentina.


El establecimiento de la plántula es una de las etapas más riesgosas para las plantas, especialmente en zonas áridas y semiáridas donde la sequía y alta radiación solar influyen sobre su emergencia, desarrollo y supervivencia. Se evaluó en invernadero la supervivencia y variables de crecimiento en plántulas sometidas a estrés hídrico y a distintas condiciones de luz, en cinco especies de Acacia (A. aroma, A. caven, A. atramentaria, A. gilliesii y A. praecox) que coexisten en los bosques xerófilos de Córdoba, Argentina. Aunque se encontraron diferencias entre las especies (F=5.66, p=0.001), todas tuvieron altos porcentajes de supervivencia en las distintas condiciones de luz y agua, sugiriendo que serían tolerantes al estrés hídrico y podrían establecerse bajo luz o sombra. Si bien todas las especies mejoraron el crecimiento con luz y sin estrés hídrico, A. aroma, A. caven y A. atramentaria mostraron una tendencia hacia un mayor crecimiento en la mayoría de las variables consideradas (F=41.9, p<0.0001; F=7.06, p<0.0001; F=53.59, p<0.0001). Estos resultados sumados a otros ya reportados indicarían una diferenciación de nichos regenerativos favoreciendo la coexistencia regional de estas especies en los bosques xerófilos de Córdoba.

ABSTRACT

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of Tecoma stans L. Juss. ex Kunth seeds mass on initial emergence, growth and, seedling development under different light conditions. The seeds were separated in four mass classes and sowed in four replicates of 24 seeds for each class, under full sun and canopy shade. Under sun environment was observed a greater percentage of emergence. Heavy seeds presented the greater percentage of emergence under both environments, but a greater rate was observed under canopy shade. One month after the start of experiments, the seedlings at the shade environment presented 100 percent of mortality. The growth and development seedlings under full sun were noticed for five months. In this period, only in the first three months was possible to observe the effects of Tecoma stans seeds mass on capacity of seedlings to acquire dry mass. The seedlings biomass partitions were similar among the tested mass class. The seedlings of smaller mass tended to a high specific leaf area in relation to the seedlings from large seeds, mainly in the first three months, resulting in a great acquisition of dry mass by these seedlings. In the fourth month, the specific leaf area did not present any tendency. Because the biggest seeds to give rise seedlings with best initial development than smallest seeds can be considered as species reproductive strategy. To produce seeds of different sizes also can be considered as way of species to spread in many microhabitats.


Este estudo teve como objetivo avaliar o efeito da massa das sementes de Tecoma stans L. Juss. ex Kunth na emergência, no crescimento e no desenvolvimento inicial de suas plântulas sob diferentes condições de luminosidade. As sementes foram separadas em quatro classes de massa e semeadas em quatro réplicas de 24 sementes para cada classe, no sol e na sombra. No ambiente de sol ocorreu a maior porcentagem de emergência. Dentre as classes de massa, sementes maiores apresentaram maior porcentagem de emergência em ambos os ambientes, porém a maior velocidade foi observada na sombra. Após um mês do início do experimento as plântulas da sombra apresentaram 100 por cento de mortalidade. O crescimento e desenvolvimento das plântulas no sol foram acompanhados mensalmente por um período de cinco meses. Neste período, foi possível observar os efeitos da massa das sementes de Tecoma stans no ganho de massa seca das plântulas nos três primeiros meses; a partir deste, a massa das sementes não teve efeito no ganho de matéria seca pelas plântulas. A partição da biomassa das plântulas não diferiu entre as classes de massa testadas. As plântulas de menor massa apresentaram uma tendência a uma maior área foliar específica em relação às plântulas originárias de sementes mais pesadas, principalmente nos três primeiros meses, resultando em um ganho maior de matéria seca das plântulas de menor classe de massa. Já no quarto mês, a área foliar específica não apresentou qualquer tendência. O fato de sementes maiores originarem plântulas com melhor desenvolvimento inicial quando comparadas com as sementes menores pode ser considerada como estratégia reprodutiva da espécie, assim como produzir sementes de diversos tamanhos pode ser considerado como uma maneira da espécie dispersar-se e colonizar um maior número de microambientes.

ABSTRACT

The morphology of 20 species of weeds that occur in the most common crops in Maringá, Paraná State, Brazil and adjacent regions were described at early developmental stages, in order to identify the species in the field and provide information for taxonomic and ecological works. Sixteen species featured epigeal-foliaceous seedlings. The seedling in Cardiospermum halicacabum is epigeal-fleshy; in Cenchrus echinatus and Digitaria horizontalis it is hypogeal and in Commelina virginica is epigeal-cryptocotyledonar. The differentiation of the first eophyll occurred within ten (Digitaria horizontalis) to 35 days (Bidens pilosa) and the first metaphyll appeared within 22 (Commelina virginica) to 49 days (Acanthospermum australe). The number of eophylls varied from one to four, and the phyllotaxis varied from alternate to opposite.


Plântulas e plantas jovens de vinte espécies de plantas invasoras, que ocorrem nas culturas mais freqüentes de Maringá, Estado do Paraná, Brasil e regiões adjacentes, foram descritas morfologicamente, e contribuem para identificação no campo e fornecem informações para trabalhos taxonômicos e ecológicos. Em 16 espécies, a plântula é epígeo-foliácea. Em Cardiospermum halicacabum, é epígeo-carnosa; em Cenchrus echinatus e Digitaria horizontalis, é hipógea; e, em Commelina virginica, é criptocotiledonar-epígea (tipo Durio). A diferenciação do primeiro eofilo variou de dez (Digitaria horizontalis) a 35 dias (Bidens pilosa) e do primeiro metafilo de 22 (Commelina virginica) a 49 dias (Acanthospermum australe). O número de eofilos formados variou de um a quatro e a filotaxia, de alterna a oposta.

ABSTRACT

Tabernaemontana catharinensis, conocida vulgarmente como lechero, es una especie perteneciente a la familia Apocynaceae. El actual estudio se refierea la morfología y la anatomía de la plántula de esta especie. Las semillas colectadas desde varios arboles creciendo en la planicie de la inundación del alto río Paraná, fueron germinadas en una cámara de germinación con una temperatura constante de 300C y mantenidas bajo luz fluorescente continua. El desarrollo de las plántulas ocurrió en un invernadero. La anatomía fue estudiada en plántulas fijadas en FAA 50. Este material fue seccionado transversalmente y las secciones obtenidas fueron teñidas en safranina y azul de astra. La plántula es fanerocotiledonar y epígea y presenta raíz axial, cuello, cotiledones ovados, epicótilo reducido, y eófilos lanceolados semejantes a los metáfilos. Su raíz es tetrarca. El hipocótilo y epicótilo tienen estructura caulinar y presentan crecimiento secundario cuya peridermis es de origen del felógeno en el ámbito epidérmico. Los cotiledones y eófilos son hojas dorsiventrales, con un estrato de parénquima en empalizada y algunas capas de parénquima esponjoso. Los cotiledones tienen un haz vascular colateral en la vena media, mientras en los eófilos el haz es bicolateral.


Tabernaemontana catharinensis is a species belonging to the family Apocynaceae. In this paper, the seedling morphology and anatomy of this species are described and discussed. The seedling development was analyzed until the first eophyll pair’s formation. The seeds were collected from several trees, in fragments of the semideciduous seasonal alluvial and submontaneforest located on the Upper Paraná River floodplain. The seeds were germinated at constant temperatures of 300C, using germination chambers and maintained under continuous fluorescent light. Seedlings development occurred in the greenhouse. The seedlings fixed in FAA 50 were sectioned by microtome and stained with safranin and astra blue. Seedling is phanerocotylar and epigeal with axial root, collet, ovate cotyledons, reduced epicotyl, and lanceolate eophylls similar to the metaphylls. Root is tetrarch. Hypocotyl and epicotyl have stem structure, and they present secondary growth with phellogen of epidermic origin. Cotyledons and eophylls are dorsiventral leaves, with uniseriate palisade parenchyma and some layers of spongy parenchyma. Cotyledons have a collateral vascular bundle in the midrib, while in the eophylls is bicollateral one.

ABSTRACT

Objective To observe the effect of edaravone combined with Plantula Ixeridis Sonchifoliae(PIS) on relieving neurologic impairment symptoms of patients with acute cerebral infarction(ACI).Methods Ninety-two ACI patients were equally randomized into the treatment group and the control group.The two groups were given routine western medical treatment such as use of aspirin and neurotrophic drugs,and decreasing intracranial pressure and symptomatic treatment for large-size cerebral ischemia.Additionally,the treatment group received intravenous injection of edaravone injection plus PIS injection,and the control group received PIS injection.Fourteen days constituted one treatment course,and the treatment lasted 2 courses.The score of neurologic impairment was evaluated with European Stroke Scale(ESS),and the score of activities of daily life(ADL) was observed before treatment,and after one and two treatment course(s).The adverse reaction was recorded during the treatment.Results At the end of the first treatment course,the scores of ESS and ADL were improved in both groups(P0.05).At the end of the second treatment course,the scores of ESS and ADL were markedly improved in both groups(P

ABSTRACT

Morphological and developmental features of seedlings of Platonia insignisMart, are here described. The seedling is cryptocotylar, hypogeal. The primary root is axial; opposite scale leaves (cataphylls) precede the foliage leaves (metaphylls) in the epicotyl. The metaphylls are simple, eliptic, decussate, short petiolate; venation pattern is pinnate, camptodromous, and strongly brochidodromous.


São apresentados aspectos morfológicos das plântulas em desenvolvimento de Platonici insignisMart.. Apiàntala é criptocotiledonar, hipógea A raiz é axial e no epicótilo, desenvolvem-se 2-5 pares de catáfilos opostos, antes do aparecimento do primeiro par de metáfilos. Estes são simples, de disposição oposta cruzada, elípticos, tendo pecíolos curtos, com duas minúsculas alas; a venação é pinada, camptódroma, fortemente broquidódroma.

ABSTRACT

Seedling morphology was studied in Campa guianensisAubl. and Carapa proceraD. C. from germination to 90 days age. In both species germination is hypogeal and cryptocotylar. Both have rare albino seedlings. Though both species have compound leaves when adult, C, proceraputs out an average total of six simple leaves at germination, while leaves of C. guianensisare compound at all stages. This is the best diagnostic character for separation of the two species at the young seedling stage. Not diagnostic, but none the less useful, is the fact, that polyembryonic seeds are often found in C. procera,but not observed in C guianensis.


Estudaram-se aspectos morfológicos de plântulas de Carapa guianensisAubl. e Carapa proceraD. C. desde a germinação até 90 dias de idade. Ambas espécies possuem germinação hipógea e criptocotilar, e, embora não muito frequente, apresentam plântulas albinas. Apesar de que na fase adulta as duas espécies apresentaram folhas compostas, a plântula de C. proceraprimeiramente lança em média seis folhas simples, enquanto a de C. guianenis, desde o início emite folhas compostas. C. procerapossui comumente semente poliembriônicas, não sendo observado este fenômeno em C. guianensis.Portanto, um dos principais descritores morfológicos, para a distinção das plântulas destas espécies, é tipo de folha emitida. A presença ou ausência de poliembrionia, também pode ser um caráter útil para a identificação.
