Gracilaria birdiae Plastino & E.C. Oliveira é uma das principais espécies de agarófitas coletadas no nordeste brasileiro. Devido a sua importância econômica, novos incentivos visando o manejo adequado das populações naturais e a seleção de linhagens mais produtivas para o cultivo em escala comercial dessa espécie são de extrema necessidade. Para atingir esses objetivos, o presente trabalho avaliou primeiramente a fenologia reprodutiva e o tamanho dos indivíduos de uma população natural de G. birdiae localizada na praia de Rio do Fogo, estado do Rio Grande do Norte, Brasil, durante 12 meses. Em seguida, foram investigados aspectos da diversidade intraespecífica de Gracilaria birdiae cultivadas no mar em três profundidades diferentes de cultivo (30, 50 e 80 cm) e em dois períodos distintos (chuvoso e seco). Para os experimentos de cultivo, foram utilizadas quatro linhagens tetrasporofíticas de Gracilaria birdiae: espécimes de coloração vermelha (vm-CE e vm-RN), marrom-esverdeada (me-CE) e verde (vd-CE). Foram desenvolvidos cultivos de curta (30 dias) e longa (120 dias) duração para a obtenção de informações relacionadas ao crescimento, pigmentos, fotossíntese e polissacarídeos dessas linhagens. A população de G. birdiae selecionada para o estudo fenológico apresentou-se fértil durante o ano todo, com baixa frequência de indivíduos inférteis. Além disso, observou-se que o tamanho dos indivíduos dessa população é influenciado pelas mudanças periódicas do ambiente ocasionadas pelos regimes de chuvas e hidrodinamismo. Durante os experimentos de cultivo no mar, os parâmetros ambientais mostraram diferenças significativas entre as estações (chuvosa e seca). Dentre eles, a transparência da água e os nutrientes foram os que mais estiveram relacionados às variações das TCs das linhagens de G. birdiae. O tempo de cultivo também influenciou nessas taxas, e as reduções observadas durante o cultivo de longa duração estiveram relacionadas ao envelhecimento do talo. De maneira geral, as TCs mais elevadas foram registradas durante o período chuvoso, nas profundidades de 30 e 50 cm. O conteúdo pigmentar antes e após os cultivos apresentou reduções significativas, principalmente durante o período seco, sendo consequência da baixa disponibilidade de nutrientes. O rendimento e os teores de 3,6-anidrogalactose obtidos do ágar das linhagens de G. birdiae não apresentaram diferenças entre as estações e profundidades, nem entre as linhagens. O teor de sulfato foi mais elevado durante a estação seca em determinadas profundidades de acordo com a linhagem em questão. As linhagens de Gracilaria birdiae apresentaram valores de fotossíntese máxima (ETRMax) e irradiância de saturação (Ik) distintos entre as estações, com valores mais baixos durante a estação chuvosa. Esses valores estiveram relacionados à fotoaclimatação das linhagens às condições de baixa luminosidade e sugerem às linhagens de G. birdiae características de plantas de \"sombra\" / Gracilaria birdiae Plastino & E.C. Oliveira is the main agarophyte harvested in northeastern Brazil. Due to its economic importance, new incentives for appropriate management of natural bads and the selection of more productive strains for mariculture are extremely necessary. Therefore, this study first evaluated the reproductive phenology and size of individuals from a natural population of G. birdiae located at Rio do Fogo beach, Rio Grande do Norte state, Northeast, Brazil, for 12 months. Subsequently, we investigated aspects of intraspecific diversity of G. birdiae cultivated in the sea at three different depths (30, 50 and 80 cm) and two seasons (rainy and dry). Four strains of tetrasporophytic plants were used: red (rd-CE, rd-RN), greenish-brown (gbw-CE), and green (Gr-CE). Short (30 days) and long (120 days) cultivations were developed to obtain information related to growth, pigments, photosynthesis and polysaccharides of these strains. The natural population of G. birdiae selected for the phenological study presented fertile individuals throughout the year, with low frequency of infertile individuals. In addition, we observed that the size of the individuals was influenced by seasonal changes of the environment caused by the rains and hydrodynamics. During the cultivation experiments, the environmental parameters showed significant differences between seasons (rainy and dry). Water transparency and nutrients were most related to variations in growth rates of G. birdiae strains. The length of the cultivation period also influenced these rates, and reductions observed during the long-term (120 days) were related to the aging of the thallus. In general, highest growth rates were recorded during the rainy season, at depths of 30 and 50 cm. The pigment content before and after the cultivation had significant reductions, particularly during the dry season, as a result of low nutrient availability. The yield and levels of 3,6-anhydrogalactose obtained from agar of G. birdiae strains did not differ between seasons and depths, neither between strains. The sulfate content was highest during the dry season in some depths, according to strain involved. G. birdiae strains showed values of ETRmax and Ik distinct between seasons, with lower values during the rainy season. These values were related to photoacclimation at lower light conditions and suggest to G. birdiae strains characteristics of shade plants

O propósito dos estudos fenológicos é descrever e compreender como o desenvolvimento dos organismos ocorre em resposta às variações ambientais que mudam ciclicamente e como certos fatores estimulam a geração de uma cascata de sinais e reações que abrangem desde mudanças moleculares, bioquímicas e fisiológicas, os que acabam se manifestando como padrões anuais de abundância e reprodução. As mudanças ambientais ocorrem em escalas temporais (diárias, sazonais, interanuais) e espaciais (latitudinal, em profundidade, em altitude) e têm um forte impacto no crescimento e desenvolvimento das espécies, em especial de aquelas com características sésseis. O objetivo deste estudo foi caracterizar os padrões fenológicos (sazonais e latitudinais) de abundância, reprodução, fotossíntese e capacidade antioxidante de dois gêneros de macroalgas de importância ecológica e econômica, Porphyra spp. (rodofícea) e Lessonia spp. (feofícea), distribuídas ao longo da costa norte e centro (25° - 34°S) do Chile. Os resultados mostram que variações sazonais de radiação e latitudinais de temperatura influenciam significativamente as respostas fenológicas e ecofisiológicas das espécies estudadas. No caso de Porphyra spp., o ajuste temporal mais notório envolve um desenvolvimento fenológico anual para a população do norte e perene para as do centro e sul. As características fisiológicas mostraram diminuição na eficiência fotossintetizante, pigmentos (clorofila α, carotenoides e ficobiliproteínas) e proteínas solúveis em primavera-verão, acompanhados por aumento da capacidade antioxidante. No caso de Lessonia e embora a abundância não tenha mostrado uma mudança sazonal nas populações, o ajuste temporal mais notório aconteceu nas características fisiológicas, com diminuição na eficiência fotossintetizante, pigmentos (clorofilas α e c, carotenoides), fenois e capacidade antioxidante durante o verão, acompanhado por aumento na absorptância do talo, ETRmax e NPQ. Estudos sobre as identidades taxonômicas das populações de Porphyra são necessários para distinguir entre possíveis padrões devido à caraterísticas da espécie de possíveis variações morfológicas ou ecotípicas. Estudos das espécies de Lessonia próximas aos seus limites de distribuição biogeográfica poderiam elucidar se as diferenças fenológicas e fisiológicas são devido a padrões dependentes das espécies ou são mascaradas por características ambientais locais. Os estudos fenológicos e as mudanças em nível bioquímico/fisiológico podem subsidiar novos destinos da biomassa produzida ou da matéria prima proveniente de organismos de importância econômica. Além disso, alterações nos padrões fenológicos e ecofisiológicos típicos podem direcionar a compreensão sobre os impactos de câmbios ambientais tais como os câmbios climáticos globais, contaminação e poluição, sobrexploração e as interações e dinâmica entre as populações / The purpose of phenological studies is to describe and understand how the development of the organisms occurs in response to environmental variations which change cyclically and how certain factors stimulate the generation of signals and a cascade of reactions from molecular, biochemical and physiological levels, which at the end manifests annual patterns of abundance and reproduction. Environmental changes occur in time scale (daily, seasonal, interannual) and spatial scale (latitudinal, depth, altitude) and have a strong impact on growth and development of the species, especially those with sessile characteristics. The purpose of this study was to characterize the phenology (seasonal and latitudinal) of abundance, reproduction, photosynthesis and antioxidant capacity of two macroalgae with ecological and economic importance, Porphyra spp. (Rhodophyta) and Lessonia spp. (Phaeophyceae), distributed along the coast north and center (25° - 34°S) in Chile. The results show that seasonal changes in radiation and latitudinal temperature significantly influence the phenological and ecophysiological responses of the species studied. For Porphyra spp., the most notorious temporal adjustment involves an annual phenological development from north population in contrast to perennial populations from central and south. The physiological characteristics showed decrease in photosynthetic efficiency, pigments (chlorophyll a, carotenoids and phycobiliproteins) and soluble proteins in spring-summer, accompanied by increasing in antioxidant capacity. For Lessonia spp., although the abundance showed no seasonal changes between the populations, the most notoriously temporal adjustment occurs in physiological characteristics with decrease in photosynthetic efficiency, pigments (chlorophylls a and c, carotenoids), phenols and antioxidant capacity during the summer, followed by increase in thallus absorptance, ETRmax and NPQ. Studies on the taxonomic identity of Porphyra populations are required to distinguish between possible characteristics due to species-specific patterns from morphological or ecotypes variations. Studies in the species Lessonia near their limits of biogeographical distribution could elucidate whether the phenological and physiological differences are due to patterns species-specific or are masked by local environmental characteristics. The phenological studies and changes in the biochemical/physiological levels can subsidize new destination of biomass production and raw material from organisms economically important. Moreover, changes in typical phenological and ecophysiological patterns can give a light about environmental impacts of alterations such as global climate changes, contamination and pollution, overexploitation and interactions and dynamics between populations.

Effect of Spring And Winter Temperatures on Winter Moth (Geometridae: Lepidoptera) Larval Eclosion in New England

Hibbard, Emily L 07 November 2014 (has links)
Field and laboratory experiments were conducted to elucidate various factors influencing the temperature-dependent larval eclosion of winter moth, Operophtera brumata L, in New England. We found no difference in duration of the embryonic stage of eggs reared from larvae collected in Massachusetts (MA) and on Vancouver Island, British Columbia (BC), where winter temperatures are rarely below freezing. The number of growing degree days (GDD) required for larval eclosion declined with the number of days chilled in the laboratory and number of days below freezing in the field, confirming the findings of previous studies. Thus, eggs hatched with fewer GDD, when the spring came later than usual. Date of oviposition had no effect on date of hatch. Eggs laid by naturally occurring (feral) females hatched sooner with lower GDD than eggs from laboratory-reared females from MA and BC held on the same trees over the winter. South-facing eggs on the stems of trees hatched on average 1.6 days sooner than north-facing eggs. Growing degree days calculated from bi-hourly measures of temperature were 15% greater than GDD estimates based on the average of daily maximum and minimum temperatures, as used by many GDD estimates made for online sources. Over two years, the mean GDD in ⁰C for hatch of feral eggs based on bihourly temperature measurements, a 1 Jan start date and a 3.9⁰C developmental threshold was 176.53 ± 6.35SE

Evolution of flowering time in a changing environment

Sköld, Emmy January 2021 (has links)
How come the same species of plants can naturally occur under various conditions in different parts of the world? A plant's ability to adapt in response to a changing climate hinges on the presence of genetic variation in traits, such as flowering phenology. In this study, I examine whether flowering start varies genetically within populations and compare this variation to differences between populations. This study quantifies genetic variation in flowering time in two Italian populations of Arabidopsis thaliana whilst using two Swedish populations as a reference. This was done using a randomized block design where plants were grown in a controlled climate. To characterize and measure flowering phenology, time of bolting and flowering were recorded. The experiment included four populations, a total of 150 maternal lines, and 2980 plants. One-way ANOVAs conducted separately by population indicated significant among-line variation in the two Italian populations. Flowering time differed between the Italian and Swedish populations, but not between the two Italian populations. More data would be needed to draw conclusions about the among-line variation in the Swedish populations. The results indicate that the Italian populations have the potential to respond to selection on flowering time, which is a likely consequence of a changing climate.

Deciphering spatio-temporal development of strawberry plant / Etude du développement spatio-temporelle d'un plant de fraisier

Labadie, Marc 21 December 2017 (has links)
Chez le fraisier la balance entre floraison et développement végétatif incluant la production de stolons (tiges allongées portant les plants filles) conditionne le rendement du plant. L’objectif de la thèse était d’obtenir une meilleure compréhension des processus de développement du fraisier, la floraison, le développement végétatif des axes et le stolonnage, grâce à une étude spatio-temporelle. Trois approches complémentaires ont été développées sur six variétés non-remontantes plantées en conditions « hors sol » : (1) la modélisation des profils d’émergence hebdomadaire de fleurs, feuilles et stolons par une analyse de segmentation longitudinale, (2) l’analyse spatio-temporelle de l’architecture des plants durant une saison de production et (3) le suivi de l’expression de gènes clés liés à la floraison. (1) Les modèles univariés de détection de ruptures appliqués à chaque variable phénologique étaient basés sur l’hypothèse que les changements de phases sont synchrones entre les individus d’une même variété. Ces modèles ont permis d’identifier des phases pour chacune des variétés et chacun des trois types d’organe. Les modèles de détection de ruptures multivariés combinant les trois types d’organes ont permis de mettre en évidence une forte structuration du développement du fraisier par la floraison et le stolonnage. De plus, les variétés se regroupent autour de deux profils de floraison avec la présence ou pas d’un deuxième pic de floraison. Enfin, les modèles d’émergence de stolon montrent un synchronisme suggérant un fort effet environnemental. (2) L’analyse spatio-temporelle de l’architecture s’est basée sur un modèle de graphe arborescent multi-échelle, permettant une représentation visuelle et une analyse de la topologie du plant au cours de son développement. Cette analyse a permis de mettre en évidence des différences topologiques précoces ainsi que différentes stratégies de développement entre les variétés. Ces différences de développement expliquent en partie les différents profils de floraison. (3) Parmi les gènes étudiés pour leur expression au cours de la culture des plants de fraisier, SUPPRESSOR OF OVEREXPRESSION OF CONSTANS1 (SOC1) apparait comme un marqueur de développement végétatif et de l’émergence des stolons. Une approche architecturale a également été initiée sur le fraisier diploïde. Les premiers résultats ont permis de mieux préciser le devenir des méristèmes axillaires. En conclusion, ce travail a permis d’évaluer les variétés en condition de production et d’identifier des critères de sélection pour le développement de nouvelles variétés. Il a également permis de développer de nouveaux outils qui pourront être utilisés par les sélectionneurs et les expérimentateurs. / In strawberry, the balance between flowering and vegetative development, including the production of stolons (elongated stems carrying the daughter plants), conditions the yield of the plant. The objective of the thesis was to better understand the developmental processes of strawberry plant, namely flowering, the vegetative development of axes and runnering, through a spatio-temporal study. Three complementary approaches have been developed on seasonal flowering varieties planted in "soilless" conditions: (1) modeling the weekly emergence of flowers, leaves and stolons by a longitudinal segmentation analysis, (2) spatio-temporal analysis of plant architecture during a seasonal production and (3) expression of key genes related to flowering. (1) Univariate multiple change-point models applied to each phenological variable were based on the assumption that phase changes were synchronous between individuals of a given variety. These models allowed to identify phases for each variety and each type of organ. Multivariate multiple changepoint models combining the three types of organ highlighted a strong structuring of strawberry development by flowering and runnering. Moreover, the varieties can be grouped into two profiles of flowering with the presence or not of a second period of flowering. Finally, the stolon emergence models show a synchronism suggesting a strong environmental effect. (2) Spatio-temporal analysis of the architecture relied on a multi-scale tree graph allowing visual representation and topological analysis of plant development. This analysis revealed early topological differences as well as different strategies of development between varieties. These differences in development partially explain the different flowering patterns. (3) Among the genes studied for their expression during the cultivation of strawberry plants, SUPPRESSOR OF OVEREXPRESSION OF CONSTANS1 (SOC1) appears as a marker of vegetative development and stolon emergence. An architectural approach was also initiated on the diploid strawberry. First results allowed to better specify the fate of axillary meristems. In conclusion, this work allowed to evaluate the varieties in production condition and to identify selection criteria for the development of new varieties. It has also allowed the development of new tools that can be used by breeders and experimenters.

Desempenho fenológico e caracterização anatômica de gervão-roxo Stachytarpheta cayennensis (Rich.) Vahl (Verbenaceae) /

Araújo, Emanuelle Oliveira January 2020 (has links)
Orientador: Filipe Giardini Pereira Bonfim / Resumo: Stachytarpheta cayennensis (Rich.) Vahl é conhecida popularmente como gervão-roxo, utilizada na medicina popular por sua ação estomáquica, antipiréticos, doenças hepáticas crônicas, e por sua utilização na indústria na composição de um fitomedicamento para o tratamento do vitiligo. A ação terapêutica das plantas medicinais muitas vezes está atrelada a produtos de seu metabolismo secundário, sendo este influenciado diretamente por diversos fatores bióticos e abióticos. Diante disso, a aplicação de ferramentas que visem compreender a dinâmica de resposta das plantas e o ambiente faz-se necessária afim de fornecer subsídio para o cultivo e domesticação destas espécies. Dentre estas ferramentas está a fenologia, que avalia a resposta da planta a mudanças climatológicas, a anatomia que descreve a estrutura interna e a histoquímica que identifica e localiza as classes de compostos produzidos. Desse modo, o estudo teve como objetivo avaliar a resposta fenológica em resposta ao ambiente e a caracterização anatômica e histoquímica em Stachytarpheta cayennensis (Rich.) Vahl. O experimento foi realizado na área experimental do Departamento de Horticultura da Fazenda Experimental Lageado na Faculdade de Ciências Agronômicas da Universidade Estadual Paulista, em Botucatu-SP. Foram avaliados 52 indivíduos mensalmente de setembro/2018 a agosto/2019 quanto a resposta fenológica da espécie em relação as variações climáticas. Além disso, as folhas e flores foram coletadas, fixadas e analisadas... (Resumo completo, clicar acesso eletrônico abaixo) / Abstract: Stachytarpheta cayennensis (Rich.) Vahl is popularly known as purple gervão, used in folk medicine for its stomatal action, antipyretics, chronic liver diseases, and for its use in industry in the composition of a phytomedicine for the treatment of vitiligo. The therapeutic action of medicinal plants is often linked to products of their secondary metabolism, which is directly influenced by several biotic and abiotic factors. Therefore, the application of tools that aim to understand the response dynamics of plants and the environment is necessary in order to provide support for the cultivation and domestication of these species. Among these tools is phenology, which assesses the plant's response to climatological changes, the anatomy that describes the internal structure and the histochemistry that identifies and locates the classes of compounds produced. Thus, the study aims to evaluate the phenological response in response to the environment and the anatomical and histochemical characterization in Stachytarpheta cayennensis (Rich.) Vahl. The experiment was carried out in the experimental area of the Horticulture Department of Fazenda Experimental Lageado at the Faculty of Agronomic Sciences of Universidade Estadual Paulista, in Botucatu-SP. 52 individuals were evaluated monthly from September / 2018 to August / 2019 for the phenological response of the species in relation to climatic variations. In addition, the leaves and flowers were collected, fixed and analyzed for thei... (Complete abstract click electronic access below) / Mestre

Water into nectar: the effects of seasonal drought on bumble bee and flowering plant communities

Simon, Andrew D. F. 16 June 2020 (has links)
Habitat loss and climate change are major factors implicated in the decline of bumble bees worldwide. These factors may be particularly acute in regions subject to climatic extremes such as seasonal drought. Combining methods from pollinator research and phylogenetic community ecology, I investigated the impacts of seasonal drought on plant phenology and bumble bee community ecology across gradients of disturbance and soil moisture in a semi-arid ecosystem. Seasonal fluctuations in floral resources coincided with significant phylogenetic clustering in plant communities, with decreasing plant diversity observed under conditions of increasing drought stress. In the late season, modified wet areas supported higher floral resource availability and greater bumble bee abundances as compared to dry woodlands, though wetlands were also an important source of late season floral resources. Despite these local effects, however, the areal extent of natural vs modified matrix habitat accounted for the majority of variation in models explaining bumble bee abundances. Modified matrix habitat was negatively associated, and natural matrix habitat positively associated, with the occurrence of bumble bee workers in June and late-flying queens in July and August. Results provide insight into the temporal niche dynamics of entomophilous flowering plants in this system, and emphasize the importance of conserving natural habitat diversity in efforts to promote resilient plant-pollinator communities. This study also provides evidence for the local extinction of Bombus occidentalis Greene, 1858 and Bombus suckleyi Greene, 1860 from Galiano Island, BC, Canada, as well as the island’s recent colonization by Bombus vosnesenskii Radoszkowski, 1862. / Graduate
