nÃo hà / O presente trabalho teve por objetivo avaliar o efeito de diferentes doses do Bokashi no crescimento das culturas de coentro, de cebolinha, em alguns atributos quÃmicos do solo e na atividade da biomassa microbiana do solo, para testar as hipÃteses de que a utilizaÃÃo do Bokashi no cultivo de cebolinha e coentro melhora o desenvolvimento das plantas em consequÃncia da melhoria do solo. A conduÃÃo do experimento foi realizada na casa de vegetaÃÃo do setor de horticultura do Departamento de Fitotecnia da Universidade Federal do CearÃ(UFC), situada no Campus do Pici, em Fortaleza, em um perÃodo de 60 dias apÃs o transplantio das mudas de cebolinha, das bandejas para os vasos plÃsticos contendo 4kg de solo e um perÃodo de 40 dias pro cultivo do coentro. O solo utilizado foi oriundo de Ãrea que predomina um Neossolo QuartzarÃnico, da comunidade do Coqueiro do Alagamar, no municÃpio de Pindoretama-CE. O delineamento experimental foi inteiramente casualizado, onde os tratamentos foram: T1- [4 kg Solo + 5g Bokashi + (20g composto orgÃnico = c.o.)]; T2- (4 kg Solo + 10g Bokashi + c.o.); T3-(4 kg Solo + 15g Bokashi + c.o.); T4- (4 kg Solo +20g Bokashi + c.o.); T5- (4 kg S + 20 g Bokashi); T6- (4 kg S + c.o.) e T7- Controle (solo natural). Foram avaliadas a altura e a massa da matÃria seca da parte aÃrea das plantas de cebolinha e do coentro e no solo, o pH, o Carbono orgÃnico total, o NitrogÃnio total e o FÃsforo disponÃvel, a colonizaÃÃo micorrÃzica arbuscular, a respiraÃÃo basal do solo, o quociente metabÃlico e o carbono da biomassa microbiana. Pelos resultados obtidos, o Bokashi, na dose de 20 g, foi o que mais favoreceu o desenvolvimento das plantas. NÃo houve influÃncia nos teores de NitrogÃnio total dos solo cultivados, mas os teores do carbono orgÃnico total e do carbono da biomassa microbiana tiveram um aumento significativo nos tratamentos T4 e T5. A quantidade de esporos de FMA nas amostras de solo analisadas foi menor nos tratamentos com Bokashi e mostrou-se estatisticamente diferente do T7 â Controle, que foi a que apresentou a maior quantidade de esporos. A colonizaÃÃo micorrÃzica arbuscular aumentou nos tratamentos T6 e T7 que nÃo usavam o Bokashi e foi menor nos tratamentos T4 e T5, que receberam a dose de 20g do Bokashi. / This study aimed to evaluate the effect of different doses of Bokashi in crop growth of coriander and chives, in some soil chemical properties and in microbial biomass activity of soil, to test the hypothesis that the use of the Bokashi in the cultivation of coriander and chives improve plant growth, increases the quality of the soil . The conduct of the experiment was accomplished in the greenhouse horticulture sector of the Department of Plant Science of the Federal University of Cearà (UFC), located in the Campus do Pici, Fortaleza, in a period of 60 days after transplanting the chives seedlings, from trays to plastic pots containing 4 kg of soil and for a period of 40 days pro cultivation of coriander. The soil used was from the area that predominates Quartzipsamments Neosol from the community of Coqueiro do Alagamar, in the municipality of Pindoretama-Ce. The experimental design was of completely randomized kind, consisting of seven treatments: T1- [4 kg Soil + 5g Bokashi + (20g organic compound = c.o)], T2-(4 kg soil+ 10g Bokashi + co) , T3-(4 kg soil+ 15g Bokashi + co), T4- (4 kg Solo +20 g Bokashi + co),-T5 (4 kg S + 20 g Bokashi), T6-(4 kg S + co) and T7 - (natural soil)Control. The characteristics evaluated were the height and dry mass of the aerial part of chives and coriander and in the soil, pH, total organic carbon, total nitrogen and available phosphorus, arbuscular mycorrhizal colonization, the soil basal respiration, metabolic quotient and microbial biomass carbon . By the results obtained the Bokashi at a dose of 20 g, was the one that most favored plant development. There was no influence on the levels of total nitrogen of the cultivated soil, but the levels of total organic carbon and microbial biomass carbon had a significant increase in T4 and T5 treatments. The number of AMF spores in the soil samples analyzed was lower in the treatments with Bokashi and was statistically different in T7 - Control, being the highest one. Mycorrhizal root colonization increased in treatments T6 and T7 which were not using the Bokashi and was lower in treatments T4 and T5, which received the dose of 20g of Bokashi.

Identification par approches moléculaires de gènes impliqués dans la tolérance du stress oxydatif chez le champignon mycorhizien Oidiodendron maius / Molecular approaches to study oxidative stress tolerance mechanisms in the ericoid mycorrhizal fungus Oidiodendron maius / Identificazione, tramite approcci molecolari, di geni implicati nella tolleranza allo stress ossidativo nel fungo micorrizico Oidiodendron maius

Khouja, Hassine Radhouane 18 February 2011 (has links)
En raison des activités anthropiques croissantes, de larges sites sont contaminés par les métaux lourds qui affectent les systèmes biologiques. La souche Oidiodendron maius Zn pourrait être un organisme intéressant dans un programme de bioremédiation étant à la fois un champignon mycorhizien éricoïde et une souche tolérante aux métaux lourds. Pour comprendre les mécanismes de la tolérance de cette souche, trois approches différentes ont été menées.La première approche a abouti à la génération de mutants du gène superoxyde dismutase 1 (OmSOD1). Il s'agit de la première délétion d'un gène par recombinaison homologue chez un champignon mycorhizien. Nous démontrons que l'absence d'OmSOD1 cause un déséquilibre dans l'homéostasie rédox et un changement dans le dialogue entre le champignon et sa plante hôte.La deuxième approche a été basée sur la complémentation fonctionnelle d'un mutant de levure en utilisant une banque d'ADNc d'O. maius. Nous décrivons les premiers transporteurs d'un champignon mycorhizien éricoïde capables de conférer la tolérance au Zn dans des levures. Deux gènes ont été isolés et nommés OmCDF et OmFET. L'expression hétérologue de ces deux gènes dans différents mutants de levure a permis de conférer la tolérance au Zn. De plus, OmCDF a également permis de conférer la tolérance au Co. Nos données suggérent que OmCDF est un transporteur de Zn responsable du transfert du Zn cytoplasmique vers le réticulum endoplasmique, tandis que l'expression d'OmFET pourrait neutraliser la toxicité engendrée par le Zn en augmentant le contenu du Fe dans la cellule. La troisième approche a concerné le criblage d'une collection de mutants aléatoires d'O. maius sur Zn, Cd et ménadione. Nous décrivons la caractérisation d'un mutant dans le gène nmr. Dans ce mutant, une diminution de la teneur en glutamine et asparagine, ainsi qu'une réduction de l'activité de la glutamine synthétase ont été enregistrées. Les liens possibles entre la tolérance au stress oxydatif et le métabolisme azoté sont discutés. / Due to increasing anthropogenic activities, large areas are highly contaminated by heavy metals which are affecting biological systems. Oidiodendron maius strain Zn could be an interesting organism in a bioremediation program being both an ericoid mycorrhizal fungus and a heavy metal-tolerant strain. To understand the mechanisms underlying the oxidative stress tolerance of this strain, three different approaches were used. The first approach allowed us to obtain superoxide dismutase 1 (SOD1) null mutants. The most important technical advance in this work was the first successful disruption of a gene by homologous recombination in a mycorrhizal fungus. We demonstrate that the lack of OmSOD may cause an imbalance in the redox homeostasis and an alteration in the delicate dialogue between the fungus and its host plant. The second approach was based on a yeast functional complementation screening using an O. maius cDNA library. In this work we report the first transporters of an ericoid mycorrhizal fungus capable of conferring Zn tolerance to yeast transformants. Two full-length cDNAs were isolated and named OmCDF and OmFET. The heterologous expression of these two genes in various yeast mutants conferred resistance to zinc. Additionally, OmCDF expression also conferred Co tolerance. We provide evidence that OmCDF functions as a Zn transporter responsible for relocating cytoplasmic Zn into the endoplasmic reticulum, whereas expression of OmFET could counteract Zn toxicity by increasing Fe content of cells. The third approach consisted in the screening of a collection of O. maius random-mutants on Zn, Cd and menadione. We report the characterization of an O. maius-mutant that carries a mutation in the nmr gene. In this mutant, a decrease of glutamine and asparagine pools, and a reduction of the activity of glutamine synthase were recorded. Possible links between the oxidative stress tolerance and the nitrogen metabolism are discussed.

Impact des hydrocarbures aromatiques polycycliques sur le métabolisme lipidique et le transport du phosphore chez le champignon mycorhizien à arbuscules Rhizophagus irregularis / Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons impact on lipid metabolism and phosphorus transport in the arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus Rhizophagus irregularis

Calonne, Maryline 04 December 2012 (has links)
Les hydrocarbures aromatiques polycyliques (HAPs) figurent parmi les polluants organiques persistants majeurs des sols pollués et présentent une toxicité avérée vis-à-vis de l'homme et des écosystèmes. Parmi les méthodes de remédiation des sols pollués par les HAPs, la phytoremédiation assistée par les champignons mycorhiziens à arbuscules (CMA), pourrait représenter une alternative innovante, écologique et économique. L'utilisation des mycorhizes comme outil de phytoremédiation des sols pollués présente plusieurs avantages dont une meilleure tolérance à la toxicité des HAPs, une meilleure nutrition hydrique et minérale ainsi qu'une meilleure dissipation des HAPs. De rares études ont décrit l'impact des HAPs sur le développement des CMA en lien avec une péroxydation lipidique et une perturbation des teneurs en lipides du CMA, mais ni les cibles d'action de ces polluants au niveau du métabolisme lipidique, ni le rôle de ces modifications dans sa tolérance aux HAPs et dans leur dissipation n'ont été étudiés. C'est pourquoi, le premier objectif de ce travail vise tout d'abord à comprendre l'impact des HAPs sur le métabolisme lipidique. Le radiomarquage par l'acétate [1-¹⁴C] a permis de montrer une perturbation de la biosynthèse des lipides membranaires du CMA extra-racinaire. D'autre part, nos résultats montrent que les HAPs affectent la nutrition phosphatée. Par ailleurs, la capacité des mycorhizes à dégrader et à bioaccumuler le benzo[a]pyrène est démontrée. Enfin, l'implication du métabolisme des lipides de réserve (les triacylglycérols) du mycélium extra-racinaire dans la régénération des membranes altérées, la lutte contre le stress oxydant induit par les HAPs et dans leur métabolisation/bioaccumulation est discutée. / Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are among the major persistent organic pollutant frequently found in the polluted soils and are harmful for human health and its environment. To clean-up the PAHs polluted soils, phytoremediation assisted by arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) could represent an innovative, ecological and cost-effective alternative. The use of mycorrhizas, as phytoremediation tool, has several advantages including increased tolerance to the pollutant toxicity, improved water and mineral nutrition as well as a better pollutant dissipation. Few studies have described the impact of PAHs on the AMF development related with lipid peroxidation and total lipid content disturbance. However, so far neither the target action of these pollutants on the metabolism, nor the role of these lipid changes in PAH tolerance and in their dissipation have been studied. Therefore, the present work aims firstly to improve our understanding of the PAHs impact on the CMA lipid metabolism. Thanks to radiolabeling experiments with [1-¹⁴C] acetate, our results showed a disruption of the membrane lipid biosynthesis pathways in the AMF extraradical mycelium, grown in the presence of PAHs. Secondly, it was highlighted that the PAHs affectef the phosphate nutrition. Finally, the mycorrhizas abilities to degrade and to bioaccumulate the benzo[a]pyrene, were pointed out. The involvement of extraradical mycelium storage lipid (triacyglycerols) metabolism in the membrane regeneration, the fight against the PAH induced-oxidative stress and the PAH metabolism/bioaccumulation is discussed.
