No. of bitstreams: 1 Roberta Lane de Oliveira Silva.pdf: 816508 bytes, checksum: 8ee58f1e26cefa223321e756c9e49f07 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2008-02-21 / The salinity is a common factor of abiotic stress that seriously affects the agricultural production. Currently, over 800 million hectares worldwide are affected by salinity. One of the strategies to promote reincorporation of salinity areas and the productivity increase consists in development and selection of tolerant genotypes, which allows parental identification for crossings. The diploid (AA) of bananas Germplasm Bank's Active of the National Center for Research of Cassava and Fruticulture (CNPMF/Embrapa), sources of interest genes to improvement programmes, still are not characterized for their salinity tolerance. This research aimed to identify the salinity tolerance among nine banana diploid genotypes and characterize them genetically through ISSR and RAPD markers, to obtain cultivars adapted to saline soils. In physiological assessing, the growth variables analyzed were leaf area, plant height, diameterof pseudostem, leaves number, weight of fresh and dry matter. Twenty RAPD primers and twenty ISSR primers were used in molecular evaluation. The consensus dendrogram of similarity genetic analyses grouped the genotypes Monyet with Borneo, Buitenzorg with Tjau Lagada and 0323-03 with 0116-01, in ISSR and RAPD dendrogramas. The 0116-01 genotype showed greater salinity tolerance and could be used in future improvement programs. The 0337-02 genotype, presenting minor reduction in leaf area, number of leaves and fresh/dry biomass of limbo variables, was considered the most tolerant to salinity stress, while the Borneo genotype was the most sensitive on salt presence. / A salinidade é um fator comum de estresse abiótico que afeta a produção agrícola mundial. Atualmente, cerca de 800 milhões de hectares no mundo são afetados pela salinidade. Uma das estratégias para promover a reincorporarão de áreas salinizadas e o aumento da produtividade consiste no desenvolvimento e na seleção de genótipos tolerantes, o que permitirá a identificação de parentais a serem utilizados em cruzamentos. Os diplóides (AA) de bananeiras do Banco Ativo de Germoplasma do Centro Nacional de Pesquisa de Mandioca e Fruticultura – CNPMF/Embrapa, que são fontes de genes de interesse para os programas de melhoramento, não estão caracterizados, ainda, quanto à sua tolerância à salinidade. Esta pesquisa teve como objetivo identificar dentre nove genótipos diplóides de bananeiras,aqueles tolerantes a salinidade e caracterizá-los geneticamente, através de marcadores ISSR e RAPD, visando à obtenção de cultivares adaptados a solos salinos da região nordeste brasileira. Na avaliação fisiológica, as variáveis de crescimento analisadas foram área foliar, altura da planta, diâmetro do pseudocaule, número de folhas, peso da matéria fresca e o peso da matéria seca. Na avaliação molecular foram testados 20 primers RAPD e 20 primers ISSR. O dendograma consenso das análises de similaridades genéticas obtidas a partir dos marcadores ISSR e RAPD agruparam em mesmo subgrupos os genótipos Monyet e Borneo, Buitenzorg e Tjau Lagada e também 0323-03 e 0116-01, os quais se repetiram nos dendogramas de ISSR e RAPD. O genótipo 0116-01 apresentou maior tolerância à salinidade e poderá serutilizado em futuros programas de melhoramento. Considerando o conjunto das variáveis analisadas, o genótipo 0116-01 foi considerado o mais tolerantes dosnove genótipos diplóides AA avaliados no primeiro trabalho. No segundo trabalho, o genótipo 0337-02 por apresentar menor redução nas variáveis área foliar, número de folhas e fitomassa fresca e seca do limbo, foi considerado tolerante ao estresse salino, enquanto o genótipo Borneo foi o mais sensível na presença do sal.

Este trabalho teve como objetivo o estudo da modificação química do amido na farinha de banana verde (FBV) com emprego de diferentes concentrações de tripolifosfato de sódio (TPS) e temperatura de modificação, segundo um planejamento composto central. As variáveis de resposta estudadas foram: Cor Instrumental (parâmetros L*, a*, b*, C* e °H), Índice de Absorção de Água (IAA), Índice de Solubilidade em Água (ISA), Calorimetria Exploratória Diferencial (DSC), Teor de Fósforo e Grau de Substituição (GS). Observou-se que a fosfatação afetou a cor das amostras, resultando em farinhas mais escuras. Houve melhoria da absorção (R² = 0,9403) de água, embora a solubilidade tenha diminuído significativamente. Na análise de DSC (R² = 0,7709), houve percepção da diminuição da temperatura de pico (TP), pois se observou que as amostras que apresentaram menores valores de TP foram justamente as que utilizaram maiores concentrações de TPS à mesma temperatura de modificação, como exemplo, a FBVM 2 que apresentou um TP de 59,4 °C, enquanto que a FBVM 1, apresentou um TP de 67,6 °C, ambas modificadas à 145 °C, bem como a amostra FBVM 4, que apresentou um TP de 39,8 °C, em detrimento à FBVM 3, que apresentou um TP de 56,9 °C, ambas modificadas à 165 °C. A microscopia mostrou que a fosfatação afetou a estrutura dos grânulos de amido, pois houve formação de aglomerados e pastas, onde foi possível observar a superfície irregular dos grânulos aparentando descamação e alguns, com o formato quebrado. O método empregado nas concentrações e temperaturas estudadas gerou amostras com alto teor de fósforo residual, sendo este um fator limitante do ponto de vista da legislação vigente.

Investigating the Gamma-ray Strength Function in 74Ge using the Ratio Method

Sowazi, Khanyisa January 2018 (has links)
>Magister Scientiae - MSc / An increasing number of measurements reveal the presence of a low-energy enhancement in the gamma-ray strength function (GSF). The GSF, which is the ability of nuclei to absorb or emit rays, provides insight into the statistical properties of atomic nuclei. For this project the GSF was studied for 74Ge which was populated in the reaction 74Ge(p,p')74Ge* at a beam energy of 18 MeV. The data were collected with the STARS-LIBERACE array at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. Silicon detector telescopes were used for particle identi cation and rays in coincidence were detected with 5 clover-type high-purity germanium detectors. Through the analysis particle- - coincidence events were constructed. These events, together with well-known energy levels, were used to identify primary rays from the quasicontinuum. Primary rays from a broad excitation energy region, which decay to six 2+ states could be identi ed. These states and the associated primary rays are used to measure the GSF for 74Ge with the Ratio Method [1], which entails taking ratios of e ciency-corrected primary -ray intensities from the quasicontinuum. Results from the analysis of the data and focus on the existence of the low-energy enhancement in 74Ge will be discussed. The results are further discussed in the context of other work done on 74Ge using the ( , ') [2], (3He,3He') [3] and ( , ') [4] reactions.

Hemicellulose Extraction From Agro-food Industrial Wastes And Its Apllication In Foods

Yilmaz, Hilal 01 September 2012 (has links) (PDF)
Hemicellulose is a valuable component of agro-food industrial wastes. Although there are some potential usage areas of hemicelluloses such as drug manufacture, encapsulation, and emulsification in food processing plants, they are not extensively utilized. In this study, effective extraction methods of the hemicelluloses from agro-food industrial wastes (corn peels and sugar beet pulp) and their application as coating material for banana fruits were investigated. Firstly, the effects of raw material type, particle size, and extraction conditions (alkaline concentration, temperature, time) and methods (direct alkaline extraction, alkaline extraction after component removal, and acidic extraction method) on hemicellulose yields were investigated. Sugar beet pulp and corn wastes were used as raw material. Alkali extraction resulted in 40.2% pure extracts while acidic hydrolysis gave only 27.4% purity in the same extraction conditions. The optimal extraction conditions were found as 30&deg / C temperature, 10% NaOH, and 24 h time (64.3%). It was also observed that removal of constituents such as fat, protein, starch, and soluble sugar increased the purity of hemicellulose from 40.2 to 58.2% at the same conditions. After finding optimum hemicellulose yield for practicle use, it was used as edible coating material to prevent darkening of banana fruits and any quality losses. On the fourth day of storage at 4 &ordm / C, there was no detected fungal decay of coated bananas / however, 20% of uncoated bananas (control) were infected. Moreover, the control group lost 5.1% of total weight but coated samples with 1%, 1.5%, and 2% hemicellulose (HC) lost 3.6%, 3.3%, and 3.1% of their total weight, respectively. Hemicellulose coating also protected firmness of bananas (701.1 gf for coated and 509.6 gf for uncoated samples at the end of 4th day). Color was another important quality parameter and it was showed that lightness and yellowness of coated bananas were preserved with very little losses at the end of storage period while control samples turned brown at an unacceptable level. The results indicated that using both low alkaline concentration and low temperature allows to recover higher quality extracts. In addition, hemicellulose showed a characteristic of a good edible coating material for banana in order to preserve their visual acceptance and other quality parameters.

The study of soil bacterial communities between organic The study of soil bacterial communities between organic and conventional farming in a banana field conventional farming in a banana field

Liu, Liang-yin 01 January 2013 (has links)
Abstract Based on maintaining healthy soil for sustainable agriculture and enhancing banana disease resistance, Taiwan Banana Research Institute began to conduct organic cultivation on a trial basis in 1998. It had been proved that the morbidity of banana Fusarial wilt disease at organic cultivation plots was significantly lower than that of conventional farming. In order to study the differences of soil microbiota between the organic cultivation plots and the conventional farming areas, physical and chemical properties of the rhizosphere and non- rhizosphere soil samples were assayed during the period of Aug. 2010 to May 2011. The bacterial diversity was analyzed by molecular biology methods, including PCR-DGGE to separate the 16S rDNA V6 ~ V8 region of various bacteria and the recombinant DNA technology by using pGEM-T Easy Vector System to separate and sequence the DNA fragments. The results showed that organic plots was loam soil, but the conventional farming soil was sandy loam with higher sand content. The soil pH in 13 years organic area was mildly alkaline, but in conventional farming area was mildly acidic to slightly acidic. The content of various nutrients in organic 13-year area soil was not necessarily higher than the conventional farming area soil. The available nutrient contents in organic areas trend to be more stable than that in the conventional areas. Fertilization may affect the content of available nutrients in the soil. No bacterial DNA could be extracted from the organic fertilizer. The bacterial microbiota in soil was very stable, and was not related to the sampling seasons. The Banana strains had little effect on soil bacterial microbiota. There was no difference on the bacterial microbiota between the rhizosphere and non-rhizosphere soil samples. It is not sure whether there were any differences on the bacterial microbiota between the nearby soil of banana Fusarial wilt plants and the nearby soil of the healthy plants. By analyzing the DNA fragment clone library, 43 strains correspond to known category, of which 28 belonged to the Proteobacteria, and 34 were uncultured strains. The role of these microbial strains might involve in various element cycles, such as N cycles, C cycles, and S cycles (including some photosynthetic bacteria). The systematic cladogram showed that organic 13-year areas, organic 3-year areas and conventional farming areas represented three major categaries. The organic 13-year area and conventional area possessed the highest difference on the microbiota composition.
