Earlier planting to escape summer drought and high temperature has increased the importance of cold tolerance in corn. The objectives of this study were to assess cold tolerance among the corn hybrids using morpho-physiological traits and to classify hybrids into different groups of tolerance. Corn hybrids were subjected to optimum, low, and very low temperatures during seed emergence and seedling growth and morphological and physiological traits were assessed. Variability existed among the corn hybrids for the measured traits. Total, leaf and root weights and cumulative length and length per unit volume were the most important morphological traits in describing hybrid variability. Principle component analysis and total low temperature response index methods were used to categorize hybrid tolerance to low temperature. Based on relative scores assigned in this study and their yield potential in the niche environment, producer could select hybrids to maximize corn production in an early planting production system.

Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) / Work engagement of registered nurses (RNs) has gained attention in health care, as an organizational process that is requisite to promoting optimal patient outcomes. Improving patient outcomes has caused a movement to examine what can be done to bridge the disparity between good and excellent care. Standards that enhance RN engagement to promote professional care are seen as vital to excellence. Magnet designation, awarded by the American Nurses Credentialing Center, signifies an organization meets such standards. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to evaluate whether a correlation exists between RN engagement and the organizational structures common to Magnet designation. This study also evaluated the influence of social and institutional demographics on the relationship between engagement and Magnet designation. The variables in this study included: age (generation), gender, nursing degree, years of RN experience, years of unit longevity, shift, hours scheduled and worked per week, percentage of time in direct patient care, nursing unit, and shared governance council participation. Finally, this study evaluated the influence of RN perception related to organizational support for work on the relationship between engagement and Magnet designation. A total of 370 RNs in Magnet (n = 220) and non-Magnet (n = 150) designated hospitals completed a 17-item engagement survey and a 15-item demographic survey. Major findings of the study indicated no significant difference in RN engagement between nurses who work at Magnet versus non-Magnet designated hospitals. Within the Magnet sample, significant relationships were found between engagement and shift, years of RN experience in any clinical setting, and RN perceptions related to organizational support for work. Scatter plots for nursing experience showed positive slopes for total engagement, vigor, dedication, and absorption. Post-hoc results for RN perception related to organizational support for work identified the significant areas of engagement were total engagement, vigor, and absorption. No significant post-hoc results were noted for the variable of shift. Through significant and non-significant findings, several insights were gained about engagement. As a result of this study, leadership can better assess the needs of the RN workforce to provide what RNs perceive to be important to professional practice and RN engagement.

Holistic and growth stage-specific screening is needed for identifying tolerant genotypes and for formulating strategies to mitigate the negative effects of abiotic stresses on crops. The objectives of this study were to characterize the genetic variability of 100 rice lines for early-season vigor, growth and physiological plasticity, and drought and temperature tolerance. Five studies were conducted to accomplish these objectives. In study 1 and 2, 100 rice genotypes consisting of several cultivars and experimental breeding lines were characterized for early-season vigor using several shoot and root morphological, physiological, and yield related traits. In study 3, low- and high-temperature tolerance assessed on select rice cultivars/hybrids during early-season. In study 4, genotypic variability in response to drought stress tolerance using morpo-physiological traits including roots was assessed under pot-culture conditions in a mini-greenhouse conditions. In study 5, the 100 rice genotypes were used to identify and validate SNP markers, and genome-wide association study (GWAS) to generate genotypic and phenotypic data with the objective of identifying new genetic loci controlling drought stress traits. Significant variability was recorded among rice genotypes and treatments for many traits measured. Early-season cumulative vigor response indices (CVRI) developed by summing individual responses indices for each trait varied among the rice genotypes, 21.36 (RU1404196) to 36.17 (N-22). Based on means and standard deviation of the CVRI, rice genotypes were classified as low- (43) and moderately low- (33), high- (16), and very high-vigor (5) groups. Total low-temperature response index values ranged from 18.48 to 23.15 whereas total high-temperature responses index values ranged from 42.01 to 48.82. Antonio, CLXL 745, and Mermentau were identified as sensitive to cold- and heat, and XL 753 was highly cold and heat tolerant genotypes tested. A cumulative drought stress response index (CDSRI) values varied between 14.7 (CHENIERE) and 27.9 (RU1402174) among the genotypes tested. This preliminary analysis of GWA indicated that substantial phenotypic and genotypic diversity exists in the 100 rice genotypes, despite their narrow genetic pool. The stress tolerant and high vigor rice genotypes will be valuable for rice breeders for developing new genotypes best suited under growing environments prone to early-season drought and temperature.

El disturbio de los pastizales del Distrito del Caldén por el pastoreo del ganado en combinación con la ocurrencia de sequías y fuegos ha provocado la degradación de los mismos, en parte reflejada en el empobrecimiento de las gramíneas perennes clave del pastizal. Una alternativa para la recuperación de los pastizales es mediante la incorporación de semillas obtenidas para tal fin. No obstante, en la actualidad esta herramienta no se encuentra disponible debido a la inexistencia de programas de domesticación de gramíneas clave del Distrito del Caldén. El presente trabajo de tesis pretendió realizar un aporte mediante la descripción de la variabilidad genética de poblaciones en caracteres relacionados a la semilla para una de las especies clave, Piptochaetium napostaense. Se realizó la colecta de siete poblaciones de P. napostaense, y se caracterizaron los sitios de recolección por medio de censos florísticos y análisis de suelo. Las semillas de las siete poblaciones se sembraron en un jardín común con la finalidad de controlar efectos de ambiente materno. Las características evaluadas fueron el peso de semillas, germinación y vigor de plántulas. Se encontraron diferencias significativas entre las poblaciones en peso de semilla y germinación. Para las características evaluadas donde se encontraron diferencias, se destaca la población 6, con valores de peso de semillas de 651 mg por cada 100 semillas y porcentaje final de germinación del 62 %. No se encontraron diferencias significativas en relación a las características del vigor de plántulas entre las poblaciones. Se observó una relación positiva entre peso de semillas y altura aérea de plántula. La variabilidad encontrada en los atributos peso de semilla y germinación, permitiría el mejoramiento por selección, lo cual aumentaría la probabilidad de establecimiento de la especie al ser reintroducida en áreas donde se ha perdido a causa del manejo inadecuado del pastizal. / The disturbance of Caldenal´s grasslands by livestock grazing in combination with the occurrence of drought and fire has caused their degradation, partly reflected in the impoverishment of key perennial grasses. An alternative for grassland recovery is by incorporating seeds obtained for this purpose. However, at present this tool is not available due to the absence of programs to domesticate key grasses of the Caldenal. The present thesis work aimed to make a contribution by describing the genetic variability of populations in characters related to the seed for one of the key species, Piptochaetium napostaense. The collection of seven populations of P. napostaense was carried out, and the collection sites were characterized through floristic censuses and soil analysis. The seeds of the seven populations were sown in a common garden in order to control the effects of the maternal environment. The evaluated characteristics were seed weight, germination and seedling vigor. Significant differences were found between populations in seed weight and germination. Differences were found, population 6 standed out, with values of seed weight of 651 mg per hundred seeds and final germination percentage of 62%. No significant differences were found in relation to the characteristics of the seedling vigor between the populations. A positive relationship between seed weight and total seedling heigth was observed. The variability found in the attributes seed weight and germination, would allow the improvement by selection, which would increase the probability of establishment of the species when it is reintroduced in areas where it has been lost due to the inadequate management of the grassland.

The common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) has a great national importance and therefore, the development of new cultivars with excellent agronomic performance, seed quality, technological and nutritional, represent an alternative to solve food, social and economic problems. Therefore, experiments were carried out, conducted in three growing seasons: normal rainy 2010/2011, dry season 2011 and normal rainy 2011/2012. Treatments consisted of 16 inbred common bean lines, 12 inbred lines belonging to different breeders and four commercial cultivars used as control. The objectives of this work were: (1) evaluated the effects of the line x environment interaction on the morphological, phenological and grain yield characters of inbred common bean lines and to study the correlation and the direct and indirect association between these characters; (2) evaluate the morphological characteres and the health and physiological quality of bean seeds by different tests, and to determine the association of vigor tests with field emergence to evaluate the morphological and physiological and sanitary quality of seeds advanced lines of beans by different tests, and to determine the association of vigor tests with field emergence seedling in the field; and (3) study genetic variability of common bean lines as grain yield, cooking time and minerals concentration in grains, study the linear correlation between grain yield, cooking time and the minerals concentration in grains and use the Z index to select the common bean lines with superiority for most characters. Significant line x environment interaction was obtained for the seed coat colour, days number for the flowering, pods number per plant, seeds number per plant, 100 seed mass and grain yield. The grain yield and morphological characters don t show correlation coefficients estimates favorable for the selection common bean lines with high grain yield. It was observed that genetic variability exists to proceed with the selection of lines regarding morphological, physiological and sanitary quality of seeds. The lines, TB 02- 24, LP 07-80, LP 08-90, CNFP 10104, Carioca, TB 02-07 and SM 1810 had higher germination and vigor and the lines, Guapo Brilhante, Gen P5-4-3-1 and Gen PR14-2-3 show up with lower germination and vigor. The accelerated aging test is the most appropriate to estimate the effect of bean seeds. The common bean lines showed genetic variability for the grain yield, the cooking time and the calcium and iron concentrations in grains. Correlation of low magnitude was found between the study variables, indicating the no existence of casual correlation. The selection of the Gen Pr 14-2-3 line is recommended because it provided the highest Z index values for most characters. According to the results, genetic variability exists to make selection of lines as the morphological, physiological and sanitary quality of the seed. / O feijão (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) tem uma grande importância nacional e, por isso, o desenvolvimento de novas cultivares com excelentes características agronômicas, com qualidade de sementes, nutricional e tecnológica, representaria uma alternativa para solucionar problemas alimentares, sociais e econômicos. Diante disso, foram conduzidos três experimentos em cultivo de safra 2010/2011, safrinha 2011 e safra 2011/2012. Os tratamentos consistiram de 16 linhagens avançadas de feijão, sendo 12 linhagens pertencentes a diferentes obtentores e quatro cultivares comerciais, utilizadas como testemunhas. Os objetivos deste trabalho foram: (1) avaliar os efeitos da interação linhagem x ambiente sobre os caracteres morfológicos, fenológicos e de produção das linhagens avançadas de feijão e estudar as associações lineares e as relações diretas e indiretas entre esses caracteres; (2) avaliar as características morfológicas e da qualidade sanitária e fisiológica de sementes de feijão por diferentes testes, bem como determinar a associação dos testes de vigor com a emergência de plântulas a campo; e (3) estudar a variabilidade genética das linhagens de feijão quanto à produtividade de grãos, o tempo de cozimento e a concentração de minerais em grãos e a associação linear entre esses caracteres, utilizando o índice Z para selecionar as linhagens com superioridade para a maioria dos caracteres. Interação linhagem x ambiente significativa foi obtida para a coloração do tegumento das sementes, o número de dias da emergência à floração, o número de vagens por planta, o número de sementes por planta, a massa de 100 sementes e a produtividade de grãos. Os caracteres morfológicos não apresentam estimativas de coeficiente de correlação favoráveis à seleção de linhagens de feijão com superioridade para a produtividade de grãos. Foi observado que existe variabilidade genética para se proceder à seleção de linhagens quanto às características morfológicas, qualidade sanitária e fisiológica de sementes. As linhagens Pérola, TB 02-24, LP 07-80, LP 08-90, CNFP 10104, Carioca, TB 02-07 e SM 1810 apresentaram maior germinação e vigor e as linhagens, Guapo Brilhante, Gen P5-4-3-1 e Gen Pr14-2-3 mostram-se com menor germinação e vigor. O teste de envelhecimento acelerado é o mais indicado para estimar o vigor de sementes de feijão. As linhagens de feijão apresentaram variabilidade genética para a produtividade de grãos, o tempo de cozimento e a concentração de cálcio e de ferro em grãos. Correlações de baixa magnitude foram obtidas entre as variáveis em estudo, indicando a inexistência de relação casual. A seleção da linhagem Gen Pr 14-2-3 é recomendável, pois forneceu os maiores valores de índice Z para a maioria dos caracteres.

The lack of information regarding the (s) best (s) combination (s) of european pear cultivars scion and quince rootstocks as vegetative aspect and productive potential has limited the cultivation of pear in the country. In this contexto, the objetive was to evaluate the agronomic aspects of vegetative and productive cultivars scioneuropean pear (Pyrus communis. L) grafted on quince rootstocks (Cydonia oblonga. L) in médium systems, super and high planting densities, at conditions the conditions of the Santa Catarina plateau. The experiments were conducted in the área of company experimental Agrícola Fraiburgo S/A, located in Urupema, state of Santa catarina, during the cropping cycles 2011/12, 12/23 and 13/14. In Chapter I, we used three systems, characterized as average (2500 plants ha¯¹), high (5000 plants ha¯¹) and super (7500 plants ha¯¹) densities. In médium density system, the combinations evaluated among european pear cultivars and quince rootstocks were: Abbè Fetel/Adams Conference/Adams, Clapp s Favourite/EMA, Santa Maria/Adams, rocha/Adams, Packham s Triumph/Adams, Decana du Comice/Adams e Packam s Triumph/EMA. In high density planting combinations were evaluated: Conference/EMC, Clapp s Favourite/EMA, Rocha/EMC, Abbè Fetel/EMC, William s/EMC e Packham s/EMA. In the super density, evaluated the combinations: Rocha/Adams, Santa Maria/Adams, Packam s Triumph/EMC, Abbè Fetel/EMC, Abbè Fetel/Adams and Rocha/EMC. In Chapter II, we evaluated the compartibility of grafting, which consisted in the analysis of growth and vascular grafting connection in the following combinations: Abbè Fetel/Adams, Decana du Comice/Adams, Clapp s Favourite/EMA, Rocha/Adams, Packham s Triumph/EMA and Santa Maria/Adams density of 2500 plants ha¯¹ and Rocha/EMC, Abbè Fetel/EMC and William s/EMC density of 5000 plants ha¯¹. In chapter III, we evaluated the distribution of the root system of diferente combinations of european pear cultivars scion and quince rootstocks at planting density of 2500 plants ha¯¹ with the following combinations: Abbè Fetel/Adams, Clapp s Favourite/EMA, Santa Maria/Adams, Rocha/Adams, Decana du Comice/Adams and Packham s Triumph/EMA and density of 5000 plants ha¯¹: Conference/EMC, Clapp s Favourite/EMA, Rocha/EMC, Abbè Fetel/EMC, William s/EMC e Packham s Triumph/EMA. The combination Abbè Fetel/Adams is more vigorou, reporting low yield in médium super system and planting density. The combination Santa Maria grafted on quince Adams gives intermediate vegetative growth of plants and high producrtivity in médium system and super planting density. Combinations Clapp s Favourite/EMA and William s/EMC are incompatible with quince rootstocks of tested, it is possible to observe a clear discontinuity in the region of vascular graft union. Santa Maria and Rocha grafted on quince Adams exhibit a continous vascular union between cultivar and rootstock, with no symptoms of vascular disruption at any level. In planting density of 2500 plants ha¯¹, to jointly analyse the six combinations of european pear cultivars and quince rootstocks throught the spatial distribution of root length at depth, there was a higher concentration of roots in the first 40 cm of depth. Regarding the effective depth, it was observed that up to 40 cm depth concentrate 80% of the total root for all combinations of the average and six combinations evaluated, 83% of root geowth is located on the respective depth. Regarding the effective distance, it was observed that the distance at which are 80% of total root length was 80 cm for all combinations exceptd the Clapp s FAvourite/EMA, which the effective distance was 100 cm. Irt was observed that the average of the six combinations,86% of root growth in horizontal distance located up to 80 cm. Already at a density of 5000 plants ha¯¹ jointly analyzing the six combinations of euroepean pears cultivars and rootstocks quince, it was observed that the greatest concentration of the first roots 40 cm deep, about 90% of the distribution root. Regarding combinations evaluated, it was observed that cv. Packham s Triumph grafted on quince EMA provided greater root growth, and may infer that their combination, compared to the other, exploring a greater volume of soil in the planting density of 5000 plants ha¯¹ and is able to check out the shoot of plant vigor. Regarding the effective depth, it was observed that up to 30 cm deep focus 80% of total root length, evaluated for all combinations except the comnbination William s/EMC that got in this depth, only 60% of root volume. For this combination in particular, has been considered effective depth of 40 cm. As the density of 2500 plants ha¯¹ at a density of 5000 ha¯¹ plants, the major root length also concentrated in the largest amount of available nutrientes and water to the roots region, which should ensure a greater capacity of the plant cultivation of the soil, and thus greater absorption of water nutrients / A cultura da pereira (Pyrus communis. L), possui potencial de expansão em algumas regiões do sul do Brasil, devido às condições climáticas e de solo. A despeito disso, a carência de informações a respeito da(s) melhor(es) combinação(ões) entre cultivares copa de pereiras europeias e portaenxertos de marmeleiro quanto ao aspecto vegetativo e ao potencial produtivo tem limitado a produção de pera no país. Neste contexto, o objetivo do trabalho foi avaliar agronomicamente os aspectos vegetativos e produtivos de cultivares copa de pereiras europeias (Pyrus communis. L) enxertadas sobre portaenxertos de marmeleiro (Cydonia oblonga. L) em sistemas de média, alta e super densidades de plantio, nas condições edafoclimáticas da região do planalto catarinense. Os experimentos foram conduzidos na área experimental da empresa Agrícola Fraiburgo S/A, localizada na cidade de Urupema, estado de Santa Catarina, durante os ciclos de cultivo 2011/12, 12/13 e 13/14. No capítulo I, utilizou-se três sistemas, caracterizados como média (2500 plantas ha-1), alta (5000 plantas ha-1) e super (7500 plantas ha-1) densidades de plantio. No sistema de média densidade, as combinações avaliadas entre cultivares de pereiras europeias e portaenxertos de marmeleiro foram: Abbè Fetel/Adams, Conference/Adams, Clapp´s Favourite/EMA, Santa Maria/Adams, Rocha/Adams, Packham´s Triumph/Adams, Decana du Comice/Adams e Packham´s Triumph/EMA. Na alta densidade de plantio, foram avaliadas as combinações: Conference/EMC, Clapp´s Favourite/EMA, Rocha/EMC, Abbè Fetel/EMC, William´s/EMC e Packham´s Triumph/EMA. Já na super densidade, avaliaram-se as combinações: Rocha/Adams, Santa Maria/Adams, Packham´s Triumph/EMC, Abbè Fetel/EMC, Abbè Fetel/Adams e Rocha/EMC. No capítulo II, avaliou-se a compatibilidade de enxertia, que consistiu na análise de crescimento e conexão vascular no ponto de enxertia das seguintes combinações: Abbè Fetel/Adams, Decana du Comice/Adams, Clapp´s Favourite/EMA, Rocha/Adams, Packham´s Triumph/EMA e Santa Maria/Adams na densidade de 2500 plantas ha-1 e Rocha/EMC, Abbè Fetel/EMC e William´s/EMC para a densidade de 5000 plantas ha-1. No capítulo III, avaliou-se a distribuição do sistema radicular das diferentes combinações de cultivares copa de pereiras europeias e portaenxertos de marmeleiro. Na densidade de plantio de 2500 plantas ha-1, utilizou-se as seguintes combinações: Abbè Fetel/Adams, Clapp´s Favourite/EMA, Santa Maria/Adams, Rocha/Adams, Decana du Comice/Adams e Packham´s Triumph/EMA enquanto que na densidade de 5000 plantas ha-1: Conference/EMC, Clapp´s Favourite/EMA, Rocha/EMC, Abbè Fetel/EMC, William´s/EMC e Packham´s Triumph/EMA. A combinação Abbè Fetel/Adams é mais vigorosa, reportando baixo rendimento em sistema de média e super densidade de plantio. A combinação Santa Maria enxertada sobre o marmeleiro Adams, confere crescimento vegetativo intermediário às plantas e alta produtividade em sistema de média e super densidade de plantio. As combinações Clapp´s Favourite/EMA e William´s/EMC são incompatíveis com os portaenxertos de marmeleiros testados, sendo possível observar uma clara descontinuidade vascular na região de união do enxerto. Santa Maria e Rocha enxertadas sobre o marmeleiro Adams, apresentam uma união vascular contínua entre cultivar e portaenxerto, não havendo sintomas de descontinuidade vascular em nenhum nível. Para a densidade de plantio de 2500 plantas ha-1, observou-se maior concentração de raízes nos primeiros 40 cm de profundidade. Em relação à profundidade efetiva, observou-se que até 40 cm de profundidade concentram-se 80% do comprimento total de raízes para todas as combinações e que na média das seis combinações avaliadas, 83% da concentração radicular localiza-se na respectiva profundidade. Em relação à distância efetiva, observou-se que a distância na qual se encontram 80% do comprimento total de raízes foi 80 cm para todas as combinações, com exceção da Clapp´s Favourite/EMA, a qual a distância efetiva foi 100 cm. Foi possível observar que na média das seis combinações, 86% da concentração radicular na distância horizontal localiza-se até 80 cm. Já na densidade de 5000 plantas ha-1, analisando conjuntamente as seis combinações de cultivares de pereiras europeias e portaenxertos de marmeleiro, observou-se que há maior concentração de raízes nos primeiros 40 cm de profundidade, cerca de 90 % de toda a distribuição do sistema radicular. Em relação às combinações avaliadas, observou-se que a cv. Packham´s Triumph enxertada sobre o marmeleiro EMA proporcionou maior crescimento de raízes, podendo inferir que a respectiva combinação, comparada às demais, explora um maior volume de solo na densidade de plantio de 5000 plantas ha-1. Em relação à profundidade efetiva, observou-se que até 30 cm de profundidade se concentram 80 % do comprimento total de raízes, para todas as combinações avaliadas, com exceção da combinação William´s/EMC que obteve na respectiva profundidade, apenas 60% de volume radicular. Para esta combinação, a profundidade considerada efetiva foi de 40 cm. Assim como na densidade de 2500 plantas ha-1, na densidade de 5000 plantas ha-1, o maior comprimento radicular também concentrou-se na região de maior quantidade de água e nutrientes disponíveis às raízes, o que deve assegurar à planta maior capacidade de exploração do solo e, por conseguinte, maior absorção de água e nutrientes

This work aimed to evaluate the effect of foliar application of PGRs on crambe fruits quality grown in 2014 and 2015 harvests.When crambe plants were in transition from vegetative stage to flowering, indole-3-acetic 100 mg L-1 (IAA), 3-gibberellic acid P.A. 100 mg L-1 (GA3); commercial PGR Stimulate® 6 mL L-1 and a control treatment with distilled water were applicated in two 15-day intervals. Fruits produced by treated plants were harvested and prepared for further analyzes. For the post-harvest chemical quality analyzes, grains of each treatment with PGRs were stored at ambient conditions for 180 days and the parameters were analyzed at the beginning and at the end of storage. Water content, lipids by cold extraction (CE), lipids by heated extraction (HE), protein, acidity and antioxidant activity (AA) of crambe grains were determined and the significant difference between averages in three-way ANOVA (harvest year x PGR x storage) were compared by the Tukey test (p<0.05). A cluster analyzes was also performed to identify similarities between the chemical parameters studied. In the experimental stage regarding the physiological quality of crambe, seeds produced with PGR were analyzed by their percentage and germination speed index (GSI), moisture content, electrical conductivity (EC) and quantification of K, Ca and Mg leached. Treatments were compared with each other Tukey test and with control by Dunnett test (p<0,05). Grains stored for 180 days showed lower lipid CE and HE content. However, under the application of PGR, lipids content and AA did not change with storage, and grains acidity reduced. There was difference in each PGR effects between the harvests studied. In 2014, the application of IAA promoted improved results regarding grains quality, while in 2015, GA3 and Stimulate® stood out. PGR application also influenced the physiological quality of crambe seeds. The application of Stimulate® increased germination percentage and GSI, while IAA reduced germination, GSI and increased EC of crambe seeds. Seeds produced with IAA showed lower leaching of Ca and all the applied PGR reduced K leaching of crambe seeds. It is concluded that the foliar application of PGR culminates in effects on crambe quality and may be used as a management technique in order to improve post harvest quality of this crop. / Os reguladores vegetais (RV) podem agir nas culturas agrícolas melhorando seu desenvolvimento vegetal e, consequentemente, a qualidade dos grãos/sementes produzidos. Assim, este trabalho teve como objetivo avaliar o efeito da aplicação foliar de RV na qualidade de frutos de crambe cultivados em 2014 e 2015. Quando as plantas de crambe estavam em transição do estádio vegetativo para floração, realizou-se duas aplicações espaçadas por 15 dias de ácido indol-3-acético 100 mg L-1 (AIA), ácido 3-giberélico P.A. 100 mg L-1 (GA3); regulador vegetal comercial Stimulate® 6 mL L-1 e um tratamento controle com aplicação de água destilada. Os frutos produzidos pelas plantas tratadas foram colhidos e separados para demais análises. Para as análises de qualidade química na pós-colheita, os grãos referentes a cada tratamento com reguladores foram armazenados em condições ambientes por 180 dias e os parâmetros avaliados no início e no final do armazenamento. Os teores de água, lipídios por extração a quente (EQ), lipídios por extração a frio (EF), proteína, acidez e atividade antioxidante (AA) dos grãos foram determinados, e as diferenças significativas entre as médias na ANOVA trifatorial (safra x RV x armazenamento) foram comparadas pelo teste Tukey (p<0,05). Uma análise de agrupamento também foi realizada para identificar as similaridades entre os parâmetros químicos estudados. Na etapa experimental, que diz respeito à qualidade fisiológica de crambe, as sementes produzidas com RV foram analisadas no teste de porcentagem e índice de velocidade de germinação (IVG), teor de umidade, condutividade elétrica (CE) e quantificação de K, Ca e Mg lixiviados. Os tratamentos foram comparados entre si pelo teste Tukey e com o controle pelo teste Dunnett (p<0,05). Os grãos armazenados por 180 dias apresentaram menor teor de lipídeos EF e EQ. Entretanto, perante a aplicação de RV, o teor de lipídeos e a AA não se alterou com a armazenagem, e a acidez nos grãos reduziu. Houve diferença entre as safras no que diz respeito ao desempenho de cada RV. Em 2014, a aplicação de AIA promoveu resultados vantajosos em relação à qualidade dos grãos, enquanto que em 2015 destaca-se GA3 e o Stimulate®. A aplicação de reguladores também influenciou a qualidade fisiológica de sementes de crambe. Perante aplicação de Stimulate® houve aumento da porcentagem de germinação e do IVG, já o AIA reduziu a germinação, o IVG e aumentou a CE das sementes. As sementes produzidas com aplicação de AIA apresentaram menor lixiviação de Ca e todos os reguladores aplicados reduziram a lixiviação de K de sementes de crambe. Conclui-se que a aplicação de RV culmina em efeitos na qualidade do crambe e pode ser utilizada como técnica de manejo a fim melhorar a qualidade pós-colheita dessa cultura.
