Essa exploração inadequada vem comprometendo sua capacidade de sobrevivência nesses ambientes naturais. Neste contexto, as finalidades deste trabalho são a conservação ex situ, avaliação da variabilidade e estimativa de parâmetros genéticos em teste de procedências e progênies de polinização aberta da espécie arbórea tropical Handroanthus vellosoi por caracteres quantitativos. Mais especificamente, pretende-se estudar a herança de caracteres quantitativos, a correção entre estes caracteres e selecionar árvores superiores de H. vellosoi em um teste de procedências e progênies para a produção de sementes com ampla variabilidade genética para fins de recuperação ambiental. O teste foi instalado na Estação Experimental de Luiz Antônio, do Instituto Florestal de São Paulo em 1986. O delineamento experimental adotado foi o de blocos de famílias compactas, com seis repetições, com subparcelas lineares de cinco plantas provenientes de duas procedências, 17 progênies de polinização aberta de Bebedouro e 18 de Mogi Guaçu, obedecendo ao espaçamento de 3 x 3 m.

This exploitation is inadequate, compromising their ability to survive in these natural environments. In this context, the purposes of this study was the ex situ conservation, evaluation and estimation of the genetic variability and parameters in a open-pollinated provenance and progeny test of the tropical tree species Handroanthus vellosoi, based on quantitative traits. More specifically, we intend to study the inheritance of quantitative thaits, the correction between traits and to select superior trees of H. vellosoi for to seed production with wide genetic variability for environmental remediation. The provenance and progeny test was established in 1986 at the Experimental Station of Luiz Antônio, São Paulo Forestry Institute. The trial was established in a compact family block desing with six replicates, linear plots of five plants, using two provenances, 17 families from Bebedouro and 18 from Mogi Guaçu. The spacing used was the 3 x 3 m. The test was measured at 24 years of age to diameter at breast height (DBH), plant height, volume, stem forma and survival. The statistical analysis was performed using the SAS program. The estimates of genetic differentiation between and within provenances and progenies indicated that most of the genetic variation is found among progenies

Les espèces de Mascarocoffea (61 sur 124 décrites endémiques de Madagascar) sont fortement menacées d'extinction à cause de la réduction considérable des surfaces forestières à Madagascar. En vue de leur préservation, l'évaluation du niveau de diversité dans la collection de Mascarocoffea de la station de Recherche du FOFIFA à Kianjavato comparé à celui de quatre populations en in situ a été faite. Le niveau de diversité des populations en collection est plus important que celui en in situ dont l'hétérozygotie observée est similaire avec une importante richesse allélique. La modélisation de la croissance et du développement des jeunes individus de ces populations par le modèle GreenLab a permis d'appréhender la mise en place de la structure de la plante en accord avec la variabilité architecturale interspécifique chez les populations étudiées à différents stades de développement. Un bon ajustement sur la croissance a été obtenu par la calibration des populations étudiées dans le dispositif expérimental. L'évolution de la variable clé du modèle GreenLab, le rapport source-puits (Q/D) en fonction du temps pour les 7 populations ajustées a montré que la production de beaucoup plus d'organes influence l'évolution du rapport Q/D au court du temps. Ce rapport affecte la taille des organes et l'architecture des Mascarocoffea. Un essai sur des individus adultes poussant dans des milieux différents (ex et in situ) dont les paramètres morphologiques, architecturaux et génétiques ont été déterminés dans cette étude, permettrait de déterminer la réponse des plantes selon l'environnement dans lequel elles poussent et de faire une optimisation du modèle. La détection des individus hybrides aussi bien in situ qu'en collection permet de voir ultérieurement la conséquence sur la structure de la plante et d'envisager d'intégrer les paramètres génétiques dans le modèle…. / Mascarocoffea species (61 / 124 described, endemics to Madagascar) are highly endangered because of the considerable Madagascar area forest reduction. For their preservation, assessment of the Mascarocoffea diversity level in the FOFIFA Kianjavato Collection Research Station compared to four in situ populations was made. The collection population's diversity level is larger than that in situ, observed heterozygosity is similar with a significant allelic richness. Modeling the young individuals in these populations' growth and development by the GreenLab model helped to understand the development of the plant structure in accordance with the interspecific architectural variability in studied populations at different development stages. A good fitting on growth was obtained on the populations studied in the experimental plot. The evolution of the GreenLab model key variable, the source-sink ratio (Q / D), showed that the production of many more organs influences the ratio Q / D evolution in time. This variable affects organ size and Mascarocoffea architecture. An essay on adult individuals growing in different environments (in and ex situ), whose morphological, genetic and architectural parameters were determined in this study, would allow the plants response in terms of architecture depending on the environment in which they grow and to optimize the model. The detection of hybrid individuals in both in situ and at the collection would detect hybrids characters on the plant structure and consider integrating genetic parameters in the model....

Genetic and phenotypic characterisation is essential for the conservation and utilisation of farm animal genetic resources, especially indigenous types that are often disregarded due to lower production potential compared to commercial breeds. In this study a genetic characterisation was performed on 144 Namaqua Afrikaner sheep kept at the Karakul Experimental Station (KES) and Carnarvon Experimental Station (CES) and a private farm Welgeluk (WGK) using 22 ISAG recommended microsatellite markers. Results of this study showed that the mean number of alleles were low (3.6 for KES to 4.2 for WGK) for the loci tested. Heterozygosity values across loci ranged between 46% for WGK, 48% for KES and 55% for CES, indicating low to moderate genetic variation within the different populations. The AMOVA analyses revealed that 89.5% of the genetic variation in the breed was due to the differences within populations and 10.5% due to differences between populations. The genetic distance estimates revealed a close relationship between the CES and WGK populations. The population structure confirmed the differentiation of three clusters with relationships between the CES and WGK populations. Phenotypic characterisation of the breed was limited to the Carnarvon flock, where production and morphological data were recorded. Morphological measurements indicated an average body length of 71.2 cm and 68.7 cm for rams and ewes respectively. Over 60% of the sheep had their tail twisted to the left. The molecular data provided by this study will serve as a reference for genetic management and breeding strategies of the indigenous Namaqua Afrikaner sheep.
