The adjustment plant arrangement is one of the fundamental management techniques for canola show positive reaction in the ability to absorb light energy, nutrients and water, which reflects on maximizing the production of photosynthate directed to the plant and grains. The aim of this study was to assess the interference of arrangement plant on direct and indirect components of yield in canola, and includes determining the effects produced in oil content. The study was conducted at the Instituto Regional de Desenvolvimento Rural do Departamento de Estudos Agrários da Universidade Regional do Noroeste do Estado do Rio Grande do Sul (IRDeR/DEAg/UNIJUÍ) in Augusto Pestana, RS, involving the execution of three experiments for different spacing of 0.20, 0.40 and 0.60m. The experimental design consisted of a factorial arrangement in randomized blocks with four replicates of 2 x 2 x 4, for the crop year (2008 and 2009), genotype (Hyola 432 and 61) and plant density (20, 40, 60 and 80 plants m-2) in each set line spacing. Components were determined direct and indirect grain yield, oil content, morphological and adaptive, as well as the thermal and solar radiation during the grain filling. The year of cultivation was more effective in changing the grain yield and other traits in canola direct production and oil content, followed by the genetic potential to grow and smaller share of the planting density. The cv. Hyola 432 shows greater effectiveness in maximizing grain yield over Hyola 61 regardless of year, row spacing and planting density. Moreover, in the shortest space of culture, the character of direct and indirect yield high values of heritability and character number of tertiary branches shows stability when subjected to strong variations in the plants arrangement. The thermal shows no correlation with grain yield and oil content. On the other hand, variables related to the crop cycle are associated with the thermal and solar radiation accumulated in the grain filling stage of canola. / O ajuste do arranjo de plantas representa um dos termos de manejo fundamental para a canola mostrar reação positiva na capacidade de absorção de energia luminosa, nutrientes e água, o que reflete em maximizar a produção de fotoassimilados direcionados a planta e aos grãos. O objetivo deste trabalho foi verificar a interferência do arranjo de plantas sobre os componentes diretos e indiretos do rendimento de grãos em canola, incluindo também, a determinação dos efeitos proporcionados no conteúdo de óleo. Nesse sentido, foi desenvolvido um experimento nos anos agrícolas de 2008 e 2009 no Instituto Regional de Desenvolvimento Rural, pertencente ao Departamento de Estudos Agrários da Universidade Regional do Noroeste do Rio Grande do Sul (IRDeR/DEAg/UNIJUÍ), localizada no município de Augusto Pestana, RS. Para o estudo dos diferentes arranjos de população, foram utilizados três espaçamentos entrelinhas (0,20, 0,40 e 0,60 m), quatro densidades de plantas por metro quadrado (20, 40, 60 e 80 plantas m-2) e utilizando dois híbridos de canola (Hyola 432 e Hyola 61). O delineamento experimental foi o de blocos completamente casualizados com quatro repetições, num esquema fatorial 2 x 3 x 4, para ano, genótipo e densidade de cultivo em três distintos espaçamentos entre linhas, respectivamente. Foram determinados os componentes direto e indiretos do rendimento de grãos, o conteúdo de óleo, caracteres morfológicos e adaptativos, bem como a soma térmica e a insolação durante o período de enchimento de grãos. O ano de cultivo foi mais efetivo em alterar o rendimento de grãos e demais caracteres diretos de produção em canola, bem como o teor de óleo, seguido do potencial genético de cultivar e de menor participação da densidade de cultivo. A cultivar Hyola 432 mostra maior efetividade em maximizar a produção de grãos em relação a Hyola 61, independente do ano, espaçamento entre linhas e densidade de cultivo. Além disso, no menor espaçamento de cultivo, os caracteres diretos e indiretos do rendimento de grãos apresentam elevados valores de herdabilidade e o caráter número de ramos terciários evidencia forte estabilidade quando submetido a variações no arranjo de plantas. A soma térmica não apresenta correlação com o rendimento de grãos e teor de óleo. Por outro lado, variáveis relacionadas ao ciclo da cultura apresentam associação com a soma térmica e com a insolação acumulada na fase de enchimento de grãos de canola.

In general, tropical soils are poor in available nitrogen (N) because of the low stocks of organic matter, requiring the external supply of N to meet the demands of the culture. Among the main sources of N used in the culture of canola are nitrogen fertilizers urea and ammonium sulfate. Besides the choice of fertilizer nitrogen source related to N, to adjust the timing of nitrogen application at the time of greatest demand increased demand will increase crop production efficiency In view of this, six experiments were carried out from May 2009 to April 2010. These experiments were mainly aimed at evaluating the response of canola to nitrogen sources and application methods (seeding and / or coverage) of nitrogen fertilizer. All experiments were conducted in the experimental units at the Catholic University of Paraná - PUCPR - Toledo campus. To attend the responses of canola relative to rates and N sources were implanted three experiments in randomized blocks in a 7x2 factorial arrangement, consisting of seven levels of nitrogen at sowing (0, 20, 40, 60, 80, 100 and 120 kg ha -1) and two N sources (ammonium sulphate and urea), with four replications. To attend the responses of canola on the forms of nitrogen application and nitrogen sources were implanted over three experiments, which are conducted in randomized blocks in a 5x2 factorial arrangement consisting of five forms of nitrogen in the seeding and / or in coverage, respectively (0 and 0, 120 and 0, 0 and 120, 40 and 80, 80 and 40 kg N ha-1) and two nitrogen sources (ammonium sulphate and urea), with four replications. The coverage fertilization was performed in stage B4. The six experiments were carried out in three production cycles, two experiments in each cycle, corresponding to the following sowing dates: cycle 1: 12/05/2009; cycle 2: 20/06/2009 and cycle 3: 23/04 / 2010. All treatments received a fertilizer equivalent to 300 kg ha-1 00-25-25 formulation, each plot received the amount of nitrogen corresponding to the predetermined treatment. For the six experiments were evaluated the basal diameter, plant height, number of plants m-2, dry leaves, dry weight of stem + petioles, inflorescence dry mass, total plant dry mass, leaf area, area ratio of leaf, mass of pods per plant, weight per pod, weight of grains per pod, thousand grain weight, yield, leaf N content, protein and oil content in grain and oil yield per hectare. The results show that the variables were not influenced by sources of nitrogen fertilizer, ammonium sulfate and urea, for any of the six experiments conducted. The response to N rates influence these variables measured, and the higher productivity achieved with 88 kg ha-1 N. The increase of N doses promotes an increase in the protein reducing therefore the oil content in grains. The forms of nitrogen application also influenced the variables measured, and the best results achieved by the split of applying fertilizer at planting one-third and two-thirds coverage (40 and 80 kg N ha-1) / O termo canola é um acrônimo de CANadian Oil Low Acid e foi adotado como padrão para indicar baixos teores de ácido erúcico e glucosinolatos. De um modo geral, os solos tropicais apresentam baixa disponibilidade de nitrogênio (N) em função dos baixos estoques de matéria orgânica, exigindo o fornecimento externo de N para suprir as demandas da cultura. Dentre as principais fontes de N utilizados na cultura da canola estão os adubos nitrogenados uréia e sulfato de amônio. Além da escolha do adubo nitrogenado relacionado à fonte de N, ajustar o momento da aplicação do N ao momento de maior demanda da cultura aumenta a eficiência de produção. Visando instrumentar decisões relativas a estas alternativas de manejo, foram desenvolvidos quatro experimentos no período de maio de 2009 a abril de 2010. Estes experimentos tiveram como principal objetivo avaliar a resposta da canola a fontes, doses e momento de aplicação do N em Toledo Pr. Todos os experimentos foram conduzidos na unidade experimental da Pontifícia Universidade Católica do Paraná PUCPR - campus Toledo. Para quantificar as respostas da canola relativas a doses e fontes de N foram implantados dois experimentos de blocos casualizados, em esquema fatorial 7x2, constando de sete doses de N na semeadura (0; 20; 40; 60; 80; 100 e 120 kg ha-1 de N) e duas fontes de N (sulfato de amônio e uréia), com quatro repetições. Para quantificar as respostas da canola relativas ao momento de aplicação e às fontes de N foram implantados mais dois experimentos, sendo estes conduzidos em blocos casualizados, em esquema fatorial 5x2, constando de cinco combinações de momento de aplicação do N, na semeadura e/ou em cobertura, respectivamente (0 e 0; 120 e 0; 0 e 120; 40 e 80; 80 e 40 kg ha-1 de N) e duas fontes de N (sulfato de amônio e uréia), com quatro repetições. A adubação em cobertura foi realizada no estádio B4. Os quatro experimentos foram implantados em duas épocas de semeadura: 12/05 e 23/04. Todos os tratamentos receberam a adubação correspondente a 300 kg ha-1 de N, P2O5 e K2O na formulação 00-25-25 aplicado na semeadura, além da quantidade de N correspondente ao tratamento pré-estabelecido. Nos quatro experimentos foram avaliados o diâmetro basal, altura de planta, número de plantas m-2, massa seca de folhas, massa seca de caule+pecíolo, massa seca de inflorescência, massa seca da parte aérea, área foliar, razão de área foliar, massa de síliquas por planta, massa por síliqua, massa de grãos por síliqua, massa de mil grãos, produtividade, teor de N foliar, teor de proteína e óleo nos grãos e rendimento de óleo por hectare. Os resultados obtidos mostram que as variáveis avaliadas não foram influenciadas pelas fontes de N utilizadas, sulfato de amônio e uréia, para nenhum dos quatro experimentos conduzidos. Quanto à resposta às doses de N estas influenciaram as variáveis mensuradas, sendo a maior produtividade alcançada com 88 kg ha-1 de N. O aumento nas doses de N promove um incremento nos teores de proteína reduzindo, por consequência o teor de óleo nos grãos. O momento de aplicação do N também influenciou as variáveis mensuradas, sendo os melhores resultados alcançados pelo parcelamento da adubação aplicando-se um terço na semeadura e dois terços em cobertura (40 e 80 kg ha-1 de N)

<p>The B3-domain transcription factor ABI3 is a major regulator of gene expression of seed maturation during Arabidopsis embryogenesis. The <i>napA</i> gene encodes for a <i>Brassica napus</i> 2S storage protein specifically expressed in the embryo during the early and mid-maturation phase (MAT program).The <i>napA</i> promoter contains two essential cis-sequences; the B-box, which functions as an Abscisic acid-responsive element (ABRE) and the RY/G cluster. ABI3 is known to target both these cis-sequences. Several bZIP factors expressed during seed maturation, bZIP12, bZIP38 and bZIP66, as well as a heterodimer of ABI5 and bZIP67, can bind the B-box ABRE in a yeast one-hybrid assay. Amongst them ABI3 and bZIP67 are able to activate synergistically the two cis-elements in a transient protoplast assay. We also show that bZIP67 interacts directly with ABI3 in a yeast two-hybrid assay. Therefore, we hypothesize that i)ABI3 is recruited indirectly to <i>napA</i> through molecular interaction with bZIP67 bound to the B-box ABRE, ii) ABI3 binds directly to the RY-element and interacts with bZIP67 targeted to the adjacent G-box found in the napA RY/G-cluster.</p><p>We also show that the RY/G cluster is responsible for repression of <i>napA</i> expression during the late maturation LEA program, and for repression of ABI3-mediated transactivation during germination. ABI3 from which the A1 activation domain had been removed, can bind to the <i>napA</i> RY-element in a yeast one-hybrid assay, in contrast to full-length ABI3, suggesting that ABI3 DNA-binding abilities are regulated by auto-inhibition. We propose that during late maturation ABI3 loses ability to bind RY, which results in repression of MAT genes but not of LEA genes that contain fewer RY-elements. In parallel, we show that the B3-domain VAL proteins bind to RY-elements and decrease ABI3-mediated transactivation of the <i>napA</i> RY/G and therefore act as active repressors maintaining silencing of MAT genes during vegetative growth.</p>

The biological control agent Pseudomonas chlororaphis PA23 is effective at protecting Brassica napus (canola) from the necrotrophic fungus Sclerotinia sclerotiorum via direct antagonism. Despite the growing importance of biocontrol bacteria in protecting crop plants from fungal pathogens, little is known about how the host plant responds to bacterial priming on the leaf surface and certainly nothing about global changes in gene activity in the presence and absence of S. sclerotiorum. PA23 priming of mature canola plants reduced the number of lesion-forming petals by 90%. Global RNA sequencing of canola tissue at the host-pathogen interface showed a 16-fold reduction in the number of genes uniquely upregulated in response to S. sclerotiorum when pretreated with PA23. Upstream defense-related gene patterns suggest MAMP-triggered immunity via surface receptors detecting PA23 flagellin and peptidoglycans. Although systemic acquired resistance (SAR) was induced in all treatment groups, a response centered around a glycerol-3-phosphate (G3P)-mediated pathway was exclusively observed in canola plants treated with PA23 alone. Activation of these defense mechanisms by PA23 involved production of reactive oxygen species as well as pronounced thylakoid membrane structures and plastoglobule formation in leaf chloroplasts. PA23 therefore primes defense responses in the plant through the induction of unique local and systemic regulatory networks. / October 2016
