Influência de diferentes doses de salinidade e níveis de água na produção de cenoura /Panazzolo, Francieli, 1987- January 2011 (has links)
Resumo: A cenoura (Daucus carota L.) é uma hortaliça amplamente empregada na alimentação do brasileiro, constituindo uma rica fonte de cálcio e vitamina A, de fácil digestão e baixo teor de calorias. A cultivar Brasília foi desenvolvido para ser cultivada no verão, apresentando resistência ao calor, com produtividade média de 30 t ha-1 e ciclo médio de 85 a 100 dias. O presente trabalho teve por objetivo avaliar os possíveis efeitos do estresse hídrico e salino no crescimento e nas características morfológicas da cultivar Brasília. O experimento foi conduzido em casa de vegetação, no Departamento de Engenharia Rural da Faculdade de Ciências Agronômicas, Botucatu-SP, nos meses de setembro de 2009 e janeiro de 2010. O manejo hídrico foi estabelecido com base no potencial de água no solo e foram determinados três níveis de água (-0,01; -0,04 e -0,06 MPa), fazendo-se a reposição de água evapotranspirada por pesagem dos vasos. Foram utilizadas quatro doses de cloreto de sódio (1,41; 2,50; 4,50 e 6,45 dS m-1). O ensaio constituiu-se de um fatorial 3x4 (três níveis de água x quatro doses de salinidade). Os parâmetros morfológicos observados foram: altura da parte aérea, massas fresca e seca de parte aérea; massas fresca e seca da parte radicular (bulbo), comprimento da parte radicular (bulbo), diâmetro da parte radicular (bulbo) e produtividade. Foram realizadas três avaliações morfológicas durante os 100 dias após plantio e avaliações diárias de sobrevivência. A análise estatística dos dados foi feita pela análise de variância e teste de Tukey com 5% de probabilidade. Os resultados nas condições deste experimento permitiram as seguintes conclusões: Não foram observadas diferenças significativas...

The cultivar Brasilia was designed to be cultivated in summer, showing resistance to heat, with an average yield of 30 t ha-1 and average cycle from 85 to 100 days. This study aimed to evaluate the possible effects of water stress and salinity on growth and morphological characteristics of the Brasilia cultivar. The experiment was conducted in a greenhouse at the Department of Agricultural Engineering, Faculty of Agronomic Sciences, Botucatu-SP, on September 2009 until January 2010. The water management was based on soil water potential determined and three water levels (-0.01, -0.04 and -0.06 MPa), but with the replacement of water transpired by weighing the pots. We used four doses of sodium chloride (1.41, 2.50, 4.50 and 6.45 dS m-1). The test consisted of a 3x4 factorial (three levels of water salinity x four doses). The morphological parameters were: shoot height, fresh and dry shoot, fresh and dry weight of roots (bulb), length of roots (bulb), diameter of the root (bulb) and productivity. They performed three morphological evaluations during the 100 days after planting and daily assessments of survival. The statistical analysis was performed by ANOVA and Tukey test at 5% probability. The results allowed the following conclusions: there are not observed significant differences on plant development subjected to different minmum soil water potentials (Ψs) = -0,01; -0,04 e -0,06 MPa; the treatments that did not received saline doses showed higher development in relation to aereal part height and bulb length on three available periods (60, 80 e 100 days after planting); the applied saline doses (1,41; 2,50; 4,50 e 6,45 dS m-1 NaCl) did not statistically affect plant development in relation to fresh and dry of aereal...

Variabilidade para florescimento prematuro em cenoura 'brasília' no cultivo de outono-inverno /Galvani, Raquel, 1983- January 2008 (has links)
Orientador: Norberto da Silva / Banca: Antonio Ismael Inácio Cardoso / Banca: Paulo César Tavares de Melo / Resumo: Com o objetivo de estudar a variabilidade genética para florescimento prematuro e outras características em uma população de cenoura 'Brasília' com produção de sementes sem necessidade de vernalização, foram estimados parâmetros genéticos em três ciclos de seleção em semeadura de outono-inverno. Os três ciclos foram avaliados simultaneamente num único experimento, em 2007, na Fazenda Experimental da Faculdade de Ciências Agronômicas, Campus de Botucatu/UNESP, localizada no município de São Manuel/SP a 22º44'50" de latitude Sul e 48º34'00" de longitude Oeste. Os tratamentos foram constituídos por 48 progênies de meios-irmãos do ciclo original de seleção, 48 progênies de meios-irmãos do primeiro ciclo de seleção, 50 progênies de meios-irmãos do segundo ciclo de seleção e oito testemunhas comuns para os três ciclos: 'Nantes', 'HT-2000', 'Shin Kuroda', 'Brasília' de quatro diferentes procedências e 'Londrina'. Utilizou-se o delineamento experimental de blocos ao acaso, com 3 repetições e parcelas de 2m2 constituídas de oito sulcos transversais de semeadura espaçados de 25 cm de distância. A colheita foi feita 100 dias após a semeadura, com exceção das testemunhas 'Nantes' e 'Shin Kuroda', que por serem mais tardias foram colhidas aos 120 dias após a semeadura. Durante a colheita as raízes foram separadas em comerciais, apresentando comprimento de 17 a 25 cm e menos que 5 cm de diâmetro, sem a presença de cenouras deformadas, deterioradas, quebradas, rachadas e com outros defeitos que as tornem impróprias para o consumo, em refugo, isto é, fora dos padrões comerciais, e em raízes que apresentavam florescimento prematuro. A produção comercial, expressa em gramas, foi avaliada ao nível de parcela e obtida através da massa de raízes comerciais, a produção total, expressa em gramas,...(Resumo completo, clicar acesso eletrônico abaixo) / Abstract: To study the genetic variability for bolting and other characteristics in 'Brasilia' carrots with production of seeds without vernalization, genetic parameters in three cycles of selection in autumn-winter sowing were estimated. The three cycles were evaluated simultaneously in only one experiment in 2007 in the Experimental Farm of the Agronomy School, Botucatu/UNESP Campus, in São Manuel/SP (22ºS44' and 48ºW34'). The treatments were constituted by 48 lineages of half-sibling from the original cycle of selection, 48 lineages of half-siblings of the first cycle of selection, 50 lineages of half-siblings from the second cycle of selection and eight witnesses for the three cycles: 'Nantes', 'HT-2000', 'Shin Kuroda', 'Brasilia' from four different origins and 'Londrina'. The experimental outline of randomized blocks was used, with 3 replications and 2m2 lots of eight sowing transversal ridges spaced out at 25cm of distance. Harvest was carried out 100 days after sowing, exception for 'Nantes' and 'Shin Kuroda' witnesses, which for being late crops had to be harvested 120 days after sowing. During the harvest the roots were separated in commercials, presenting length of 17 the 25cm and less than 5cm of diameter, without the presence of deformed, spoiled carrots, broken, cracked or any other defects for consumption, in rubbish roots, that is out of commercial standards, and in roots presenting bolting. The commercial production, expressed in grams, was evaluated to the level of lots and obtained by the mass of commercial roots. The total production, expressed in grams, was obtained by the addition of the mass of commercial roots and rubbish, except those with premature floral connecting rods. Also obtained the percentage of rubbish mass, the percentage of plants not bolting and the percentage of orange shoulder in relation to the commercial production...(Complete abstract click electronic access below) / Mestre

<b>HEAVY METAL ACCUMULATION IN DAUCUS CAROTA</b>Kathleen Kaylee Zapf (18430308) 26 April 2024 (has links)
<p dir="ltr">Urban agriculture has grown in popularity in recent decades, due to its ability to provide access to healthy fruits and vegetables in urban zones, as well as its importance in fostering knowledge of agriculture within communities. However, urban agriculture may struggle with unique challenges due to its proximity to urban and industrial activities, such as food safety risks due to toxic heavy metals and metalloids which may be present in urban soils in high concentrations. Heavy metals and metalloids (HM) like arsenic, cadmium, and lead are absorbed by plants from the soil, and may accumulate in the plants’ edible tissues, which are consumed by humans. Carrot (<i>Daucus carota</i> L.), in particular, hyperaccumulates these toxic heavy metals in its edible taproots, leading to food safety risks on urban farms.</p><p dir="ltr">One potential way to help address this challenge is to breed carrot varieties with low uptake of HM. In recent years, researchers have identified lines with high and low uptake in greenhouse trials and single location breeding nurseries. However, to be viable, these lines must consistently vary in HM across sites despite differences in environmental and management factors that can also greatly influence HM bioavailability and uptake. Moreover, screening for differences in HM uptake is time-consuming and expensive, and breeders need new tools to select among segregating breeding populations. By using on-farm participatory research as well as advanced phenotyping technologies, we investigate the viability of breeding carrots for HM uptake and the potential of new tools to advance these efforts in order to mitigate the risks on urban farms.</p><p dir="ltr">In the summers of 2021 and 2022, participatory on-farm trials were conducted to determine the HM risks on Indiana urban farms and to investigate the consistency of differences in HM uptake between carrot breeding lines taken from breeding trials (Chapter 2). Results of these trials indicated that while carrot genotype had an effect, there was still significant variability in carrot uptake of arsenic, cadmium and lead between farm sites and years. Results indicated significant differences between site-years, and carrot HM concentrations that correlated strongly with soil concentrations for that particular element. However, there were some site-years with low soil HM content and other soil factors expected to reduce uptake such as pH and phytoavailable zinc concentrations (such as site-year H), that had high carrot HM content. There were significant differences in carrot cadmium (Cd) and arsenic (As) content between carrot breeding lines. For instance, breeding line 3271 had a high As average concentration but low Cd average concentration, while breeding lines 6220 and 2327 had low As and high Cd concentrations. We identify the possibility of other mediating factors, such as uptake of antagonistic micronutrients, or microbe-assisted HM uptake and amelioration that need further attention.</p><p dir="ltr">In the fall of 2022, a study was conducted to investigate the possibility of using phenotyping technologies such as RGB and hyperspectral imaging to detect Cd stress in carrot and attempt to predict uptake (Chapter 3). RGB (red green blue) is a digital color model in which cameras can capture important visual cues compiled from information about each pixel. Hyperspectral imaging uses cameras to capture wavelengths beyond the visible spectrum, which can detect plant stress indicators like increased anthocyanin content for specific environmental stresses. Results of this trial were useful, with some time points and indices noting differences between carrot lines. For instance, RGB factors hue and fluorescence as well as hyperspectral reflectance plots and vegetative indices swirNDVI and ANTH were the most diagnostic. Breeding lines 6636 and 8503 showed the greatest separation between Cd treated and control carrots in imaging indices. However, further studies will be needed to optimize this approach for breeding programs.</p><p dir="ltr">This research demonstrates that growing carrots on most urban farms in Indiana is safe. The studies also provide further evidence that it will be possible to help lower food safety risks by selecting carrot varieties with low HM uptake, and phenotyping can help to advance these efforts. At the same time, new research to understand how soil factors such as microbiomes influence HM bioavailability and uptake on urban farms are also needed to further reduce potential risks. In the meantime, farmers should continue to test their soil for HM and take appropriate actions to reduce risks such as using raised beds and soil amendments that can bind metals like biochar. Consumers should also continue to wash and peel their carrots before consumption, as well as consume a balanced diet with a diverse set of vegetables and other crops.</p>

Multidisciplinary study of the role of calcium in plant in vitro embryogenesisCalabuig Serna, Antonio 06 September 2023 (has links)
[ES] El calcio (Ca2+) es un catión esencial que juega un papel fundamental en todos los organismos vivos. Desde el punto de vista funcional, el Ca2+ actúa como un segundo mensajero que regula distintos procesos celulares. Trabajos anteriores indican que la señalización mediante Ca2+ podría estar implicada en las primeras etapas de la inducción de la embriogénesis in vitro de las plantas, pero el verdadero papel del Ca2+ en este proceso es aún desconocido. Por eso, el principal objetivo de la presente Tesis es el estudio del papel del Ca2+ en la embriogénesis in vitro mediante dos sistemas in vitro: la embriogénesis somática y la embriogénesis de microsporas. Para determinar la importancia de la homeostasis del Ca2+ en la inducción de la embriogénesis y las dinámicas de los niveles de Ca2+ durante la inducción y el establecimiento de embriones somáticos y derivados de microsporas, se utilizaron tratamientos químicos y se detectaron los niveles de Ca2+ mediante sondas fluorescentes y sensores cameleon codificados genéticamente, visualizados con microscopía fluorescente y confocal. Observamos que el aumento de Ca2+ es un marcador temprano en la inducción de la embriogénesis in vitro y que los niveles de Ca2+ durante la embriogénesis in vitro son dinámicos en todos los sistemas estudiados. Además, las oscilaciones en los niveles de Ca2+ podrían estar relacionadas con los procesos de diferenciación que ocurren en las células inducidas una vez une el Ca2+ a la calmodulina. Mostramos que un aumento de Ca2+ dentro de un rango definido de concentración tiene un efecto positivo, dependiendo del sistema, en la producción de embriones, siendo más sensibles aquellos sistemas basados en suspensiones de células aisladas que aquellos que usan tejidos como explantes. Finalmente, estudiamos el papel de la calosa durante la embriogénesis somática, observando que la inhibición de la deposición de calosa impide el desarrollo embrionario, lo que sugiere una relación entre la formación de una barrera de calosa y el establecimiento de la identidad embrionaria en las células somáticas. / [CAT] El calci (Ca2+) és un catió essencial que juga un paper fonamental en tots els organismes vius. Des del punt de vista funcional, el Ca2+ actua com a un segon missatger que regula diferents processos cel·lulars. Treballs anteriors indiquen que la senyalització mitjançant el Ca2+ podria estar implicada en les primeres etapes de la inducció de l'embriogènesi in vitro de les plantes, però el paper real del Ca2+ en aquest procés encara és desconegut. Per això, el principal objectiu de la present Tesi és l'estudi del paper del Ca2+ en l'embriogènesi in vitro mitjançant dos sistemes in vitro: l'embriogènesi somàtica i l'embriogènesi de micròspores. Per tal de determinar la importància de l'homeòstasi del Ca2+ en la inducció de l'embriogènesi i les dinàmiques dels nivells de Ca2+ durant la inducció i l'establiment d'embrions somàtics i derivats de micròspores, es van utilitzar tractaments químics i es van detectar els nivells de Ca2+ mitjançant sondes fluorescents i sensors de cameleon codificats genèticament, visualitzats amb microscòpia fluorescent i confocal. Vam observar que l'augment de Ca2+ és un marcador primerenc en la inducció de l'embriogènesi in vitro i que els nivells de Ca2+ durant l'embriogènesi in vitro són dinàmics en tots els sistemes estudiats. A més, les oscil·lacions en els nivells de Ca2+ podrien estar relacionades amb els processos de diferenciació que tenen lloc en les cèl·lules induïdes una vegada uneix el Ca2+ a la calmodulina. Vam mostrar que un augment de Ca2+ dins d'un rang definit de concentració té un efecte positiu, depenent del sistema, en la producció d'embrions, essent més sensibles aquells sistemes basats en suspensions de cèl·lules aïllades que aquells que usen teixits com a explants. Finalment, vam estudiar el paper de la cal·losa durant l'embriogènesi somàtica, i vam observar que la inhibició de la deposició de cal·losa impedeix el desenvolupament embrionari, la qual cosa suggereix una relació entre la formació d'una barrera de cal·losa i l'establiment de la identitat embrionària en les cèl·lules somàtiques. / [EN] Calcium (Ca2+) is an essential cation that plays fundamental roles in all living organisms. From a functional point of view, Ca2+ acts as a second messenger that regulates different cellular processes. Previous works point to the fact that Ca2+ signaling may be involved in the early stages of induction of in vitro plant embryogenesis, but the actual role of Ca2+ in this process remained unveiled. Thus, the main goal of the present Thesis is to study the role of Ca2+ in in vitro embryogenesis using two in vitro systems: somatic embryogenesis and microspore embryogenesis. Chemical treatments and detection of Ca2+ with fluorescent probes and genetically-encoded cameleon sensors imaged by fluorescence and confocal microscopy were performed to determine the importance of Ca2+ homeostasis for induction of embryogenesis and the dynamics of Ca2+ levels during the induction and establishment of somatic and microspore-derived embryos. We observed that Ca2+ increase is an early marker of induction of in vitro embryogenesis and Ca2+ levels during in vitro embryogenesis are dynamic in all the systems we studied. Moreover, Ca2+ oscillations might be related to the differentiation processes that take place in the induced cells upon binding to calmodulin. We showed that Ca2+ increase within a defined range has system-specific positive effects in embryo yield, being more sensitive those systems using isolated cell suspensions rather than those using tissues as explants. Finally, we studied the role of callose during somatic embryogenesis, and we observed that inhibiting callose deposition prevents embryo development, which suggests a relationship between the formation of a callose barrier and the establishment of embryo identity in somatic cells. / Calabuig Serna, A.
