No Experimento I, três ejaculados de 10 garanhões férteis e 9 garanhões subférteis foram avaliados quanto aos parâmetros de cinética, integridade de membrana plasmática e acrossomal e cromatina espermática. Proteínas do PS e extraídas da MP foram submetidas a eletroforese 2D e espectrometria de massas (MALDI-TOF/TOF) e análise shotgun (LC-ESIQTOF). Foi observada associação positiva da fertilidade com a MT, MP, LIN e RAP. Um spot diferencial (28 kDa; pI 5,6) do PS apresentou maior expressão em garanhões subférteis. Não foi observada diferença na expressão proteica na MP entre os garanhões. Na análise shotgun, foram identificadas 53 proteínas únicas no PS de garanhões férteis, como a SPATA21 e 103 nos garanhões subférteis, como a clusterina. Na MP, foram identificadas 269 proteínas em animais com alta fertilidade como a SP-1, SMOK e PLC, e 167 proteínas únicas em garanhões subférteis. No Experimento II, o PS e o extrato de MP apresentaram predominância de polipeptídeos com massa molecular < 35 kDa. Proteínas ribossomais foram detectadas nas duas amostras. A análise shotgun identificou 66 proteínas no PS e 291 no extrato de MP; envolvidas no processo reprodutivo como as kallikrein, SP-1, SP-2, Fn-2 e Fn-3, SPATA. Em conclusão, o estudo de garanhões com distintos índices de concepção permitiu a identificação de proteínas únicas do PS e da MP e de parâmetros de cinética espermática relacionados a fertilidade que podem servir como base para determinação de marcadores de fertilidade em garanhões.

In Experiment I, three ejaculates from 10 fertile stallions and nine subfertile stallions were evaluated for kinetic parameters, plasma membrane integrity and acrosome and sperm chromatin. Proteins extracted from the SP and MP were submitted to 2D electrophoresis coupled to mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF/TOF) and shotgun analysis (LC-ESIQTOF). Positive association of fertility with MT, MP, LIN and RAP was observed. A differential spot (28 kDa, pI 5.6) of SP showed higher expression in subfertile stallions. No difference in protein expression in PM among stallions was observed. In the shotgun analysis, 53 unique proteins in the SP of fertile stallions, as SPATA21, and 103 in subfertile stallions, as clusterin, were identified. In PM, 269 proteins were identified in animals with high fertility as SP-1, SMOK and PLC, and 167 unique proteins in subfertile stallions. In Experiment II, the SP and the extract of PM showed a predominance of polypeptides with molecular mass < 35 kDa. Ribosomal proteins were detected in both samples. Shotgun analysis identified 66 proteins in SP and 291 in the extract of PM; involved in the reproductive process such as kallikrein, SP-1, SP-2, Fn-2 and Fn-3, SPATA. In conclusion, the study of stallions with distinct conception rates allowed the identification of unique proteins of SP and PM and kinetic parameters related to fertility which may serve as basis for determination of fertility biomarkers in stallions. A number of PM proteins may originate from the SP and be related to sperm functionality and interaction between gametes. Although, the use of modern proteomic approach allowed the ...

Efeitos do glyphosate e do fósforo em eucalipto /

Pereira, Fernanda Campos Mastrotti January 2016 (has links)
Orientador: Pedro Luis da Costa Aguiar Alves / Coorientador: Silvano Bianco / Coorientador: Wendy Ann Peer / Banca: Edivaldo Domingues Velini / Banca: Rinaldo Cesar de Paula / Banca: Priscila Lupino Gratão / Banca: Tiago Pereira Salgado / Resumo: A cultura do eucalipto apresenta uma grande importância no cenário econômico nacional e mundial, oferecendo uma vasta gama de produtos florestais. No entanto, a disponibilidade de fósforo nos solos raramente é adequada para o crescimento, desenvolvimento e produtividade das plantas de eucalipto, bem como para diversas outras culturas. A presença de plantas daninhas em eucaliptais é outro fator limitante, e para o manejo da comunidade infestante, glyphosate é o herbicida mais utilizado. As plantas de eucalipto, quando cultivadas em diferentes concentrações de fósforo, podem alterar a expressão gênica de transportadores de fosfato. Em algumas condições, a síntese de transportadores de fosfato de alta afinidade pode ser incrementada. Esses transportadores podem ter afinidade pelo grupo fosfonato do glyphosate, transportando esse herbicida via membrana plasmática. Assim, podem ocorrer alterações no comportamento do glyphosate em função das concentrações de fósforo. Estudos do efeito diferencial de glyphosate em função de concentrações de fósforo e do transporte de glyphosate mediado por transportadores de fosfato ainda são escassos, principalmente em uma espécie perene, como o eucalipto. Com essa pesquisa objetivou-se (1) avaliar, em clones de Eucalyptus urophylla (GG100 e I144) a cinética de absorção de fósforo, as eficiências nutricionais de macronutrientes e seus reflexos no crescimento das plantas; (2) verificar as alterações fotossintéticas, metabólicas e nutricionais de clo... (Resumo completo, clicar acesso eletrônico abaixo) / Abstract: Eucalypt plantation have great importance in the national and global economic environment, offering a wide range of forest products. However, the phosphorus availability in soils is rarely appropriate for growth, development and yield of eucalypt plants, as well as several other crops. The presence of weeds in eucalypt plantations is another limiting factor, and for weed management glyphosate is the most used herbicide. Eucalypt plants grown under different phosphorus concentrations can change phosphate transporters gene expression. Under specific conditions, high-affinity phosphate transporter synthesis can be increased. Such transporters can have affinity for glyphosate phosphonate group, transporting this herbicide through plasma membrane. So, changes may occur in glyphosate behavior depending on phosphorus concentrations. Studies of glyphosate effect as a function of phosphorus concentrations and glyphosate transport mediated by phosphate transporters are still scarce, especially in a perennial species, such as eucalypt. This study aimed (1) to evaluate, in Eucalyptus urophylla clones (GG100 and I144), the phosphorus absorption kinetics, the nutritional efficiency of macronutrients and their effects on plant growth; (2) verify the photosynthetic, nutritional and metabolic changes in E. urophylla clones (GG100 and I144) grown under phosphorus concentrations and submitted to glyphosate application; and (3) study in E. grandis the phosphate transporters gene expression coord...
