Dans son environnement, la plante interagit sans cesse avec des microorganismes. Elle est confrontée à une variété de microorganismes bénéfiques, neutres ou pathogènes, qui sont fortement dépendants des ressources carbonées que la plante libère dans le sol, leur conférant ainsi un apport de nutriments et d’énergie nécessaire à leur développement. La mycorhize à arbuscules est une symbiose mutualiste formée par 80% des plantes terrestres datant de l’Ordovicien, i.e. environ 450 millions d’années avant notre ère. L’ensemble des travaux de recherche présenté au sein de ce manuscrit, s’inscrit dans le cadre de deux objectifs généraux : (i) acquérir une meilleure compréhension des mécanismes à l’origine des relations trophiques chez la plante mycorhizée, et (ii) étudier l’impact de la mycorhization sur la production végétale tant en terme de quantité que de qualité. Nous avons étudié la réponse à la mycorhization de variétés anciennes de blé afin d’appréhender s’il existait une différence dans un environnement semi-contrôlé (serres) ou dans un environnement non contrôlées (champ), et/ou en fonction de la communauté de champignons mycorhiziens à arbuscules présente. Nos résultats ont mis en évidence que la mycorhization et la nature des champignons mycorhiziens arbusculaires endogènes peuvent influer sur le rendement au stade tallage, même chez des variétés de blé ayant une faible capacité mycorhizogène. Nous avons aussi illustré l’importance de bien choisir les critères utilisés pour mesurer ce gain éventuel. Dans un deuxième axe de recherche nous nous sommes intéressés à l’impact de la mycorhize à arbuscules sur le développement de la tomate Micro-Tom, et les échanges trophiques au cours de l’interaction. Nous avons pu mettre en évidence, grâce à une analyse multivariée, à la fois des différences de comportement parmi les plantes particulièrement aux stades fruit vert mature et fruit rouge mature selon la nature des champignons mycorhiziens à arbuscules présents, et des potentiels phénomènes d’interaction entre deux souches de champignons mycorhiziens à arbuscules; nos résultats confirmant que les arbuscules ne sont pas les seules sites d’échanges dans la mycorhize à arbuscules. Le troisième axe de ce travail a porté sur l’impact potentiel des méthodes de production de semences de variétés anciennes de tomate en condition de sécheresse, à la fois sur la communauté endogène de champignons mycorhiziens au champ, sur la tolérance de la plante au stress hydrique et sur la production végétale en terme de rendement et de qualité des fruits. Le site d’expérimentation se situait au Potager de santé (ferme de production de semences gérée par Pascal Poot). Nos résultats ne montrent aucune différence, en conditions de stress hydrique au champ, entre des variétés cultivées régulièrement sur ce site et des variétés commerciales. Alors, on peut se demander si d’autres facteurs liés au site d’exploitation, tels que les microorganismes interagissant avec les racines de la plante pourraient être à l’origine de la tolérance accrue au stress hydrique. Des travaux sont en cours au laboratoire pour étudier cette hypothèse. L’ensemble de ces travaux ouvrent la voie à de nouvelles recherches visant à élucider les mécanismes moléculaires impliqués dans la régulation des échanges trophiques au cours de la mycorhize à arbuscules et à la valorisation des services écosystémiques rendus par la mycorhize à arbuscules au champ. / In its environment, the plant interacts constantly with microorganisms. It is confronted with a variety of beneficial, neutral or pathogenic microorganisms, which are highly dependent on the carbon resources that the plant releases into the soil, giving them a supply of nutrients and energy necessary for their development. The arbuscular mycorrhiza is a mutualistic symbiosis formed by 80% of terrestrial plants from the Ordovician period, i.e. about 450 million years ago. The research presented in this manuscript was focused on two main goals: (i) to gain a better understanding of the mechanisms underlying trophic relationships in the mycorrhizal plant, and (ii) to study the impact of mycorhization on plant production, both in terms of quantity and quality. We investigated the mycorrhizal response of wheat landraces in order to understand if there were differences in a semi-controlled environment (greenhouses) or in an uncontrolled environment (field), and / or depending on the community of mycorrhizal fungi. Our results showed that mycorrhization and the nature of endogenous arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi can affect yield, even in wheat varieties with low mycorrhizal ability. We also highlighted the importance of choosing the criteria used to measure this potential gain. In a second line of research, we were interested in the impact of arbuscular mycorrhiza on the development of Micro-Tom tomato, and the trophic exchanges during the interaction. Multivariate analysis revealed behavioral differences between plants at mature green fruit and red ripening stages depending on arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal strain, as well as potential interaction event between two arbuscular mycorrhiza fungus trains. Our results confirm that the arbuscules are not the only sites of exchange in arbuscular mycorrhiza. The third axis of this work focused on the potential impact of seed production methods of ancient tomato varieties in drought condition, both on the endogenous community of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi in the field, on the tolerance of the plant to water stress and on crop production in terms of fruit yield and quality. The experimental site was located in the Potager de santé (seed farm managed by Pascal Poot). Our results show no difference, under conditions of water stress in the field, between varieties regularly cultivated on this site and commercial varieties. Then, one may wonder if other factors related to the exploitation site, such as the beneficial microorganisms interacting with the roots of the plants could be at the origin of the increased tolerance to water stress. Work is underway in the laboratory to study this hypothesis. All of this work paves the way for new research aimed at elucidating the molecular mechanisms involved in the regulation of trophic exchanges during arbuscular mycorrhizae and the valuation of the ecosystem services rendered by arbuscular mycorrhizae in the field.

Atualmente, o HLB é considerado a principal doença que acomete as plantas cítricas. Diante desse fator, pesquisas por cultivares resistentes a esta doença são necessárias. A transformação genética via Agrobacterium, juntamente com o uso de plantas modelos, tem sido uma alternativa para verificação do funcionamento dos genes em resposta a patógenos, isto porque as plantas modelos possuem como característica ciclo de vida curto e alto poder de regeneração. Assim sendo, objetivou-se com o presente trabalho, a transformação genética via Agrobacterium tumefaciens, de tomate Micro-Tom (Solanum lycopersicum L.) e de laranja doce, com os genes que codificam as proteínas PR-8 e CDR-1, isolados a partir de Citrus simensis. Os cotilédones provenientes de sementes germinadas in vitro de tomate Micro-Tom foram utilizados como fonte de explante para os experimentos de transformação genética com os genes PR-8 e CDR-1. Esses explantes foram subcultivados até o aparecimento de brotos regenerantes e posteriormente plantas transgênicas, as quais foram aclimatizadas e levadas a casa-de-vegetação. A transgenia foi confirmada por PCR e o número de inserções do gene por Southern blot. As plantas foram cultivadas até a obtenção da geração T1. Simultaneamente, foram realizados experimentos de transformação genética em segmentos de epicótilo, provenientes de sementes de laranja ‘Hamlin’ germinadas in vitro, com o gene CDR-1, a fim de se obter plantas transgênicas e sua caracterização. Paralelamente, foi realizada a construção da curva padrão pela análise de qPCR para identificação de Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato. Foram obtidas treze plantas transgênicas de tomate Micro-Tom com o gene PR-8 e três com o gene CDR-1. As eficiências de transformação foram em torno de 0,38 a 1,98%. Três plantas de tomate Micro-Tom transgênicas com o gene PR-8 foram caracterizadas por Southern blot e o número de inserções variou de 1 a 3. Dezenove plantas transgênicas de laranja ‘Hamlin’ com o gene CDR-1 foram obtidas através dos experimentos de transformação genética. A eficiência de transformação foi de 2,06 a 5,96%. Dessas, apenas uma foi caracterizada por Southern blot apresentando 1 número de cópia do DNA no genoma da planta. / HLB is currently considered the main disease affecting citrus plants. Given this factor, research for cultivars resistant to this disease is needed. Genetic transformation via Agrobacterium with the use of model plants has been an alternative for checking the gene function in response to pathogens, because these model plants have as characteristic a short life cycle and high power of regeneration. Therefore, the aim of this work was to produce transgenic plants, via Agrobacterium tumefaciens, of Micro-Tom tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.), and sweet orange, with the genes encoding the PR-8 and CDR-1 proteins isolated from Citrus sinensis. The cotyledons from in vitro germinated Micro-Tom tomato seeds were used as explants source for genetic transformation experiments with PR-8 and CDR-1 genes. These explants were subcultured until the appearance of regenerating shoots and after transgenic plants, which were acclimatized and taken to a greenhouse. The transgenic plants were confirmed by PCR and the number of gene insertions by Southern blot. The plants were grown until T1 generation was obtained. Simultaneously genetic transformation experiments were performed with epicotyl segments from \'Hamlin\' sweet orange seeds germinated in vitro with CDR-1 gene in order to obtain transgenic plants and their characterization. Simultaneously, the standard curve construction was performed by qPCR analysis for identification of Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato. Thirteen transgenic plants of Micro-Tom tomato with PR-8 gene and three with CDR-1 gene were obtained. The transformation efficiencies were around 0,38 to 1,98%. Three transgenic plants of Micro-Tom tomato with PR-8 gene were characterized by southern blot, and the number of inserts ranged from 1 to 3. Nineteen transgenic \'Hamlin\' sweet orange plants with CDR-1 gene were obtained through genetic transformation experiments, and the transformation efficiency was 2,06 to 5,96%. One plant was characterized, by Southern blot and has one DNA copy number in the plant genome.

A produção de hortaliças em substratos é uma técnica de cultivo que pode aumentar a produtividade, economizar recursos e facilitar o manejo nutricional das plantas. Contudo, para que isso seja possível, deve-se conhecer os fatores que afetam o crescimento das plantas cultivadas nesse sistema. O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar os efeitos de diferentes doses de nitrogênio da solução nutritiva (SN) (60, 80 100, 120 e 140% da dose padrão) em dois tipos de substratos (S1: fibra de coco e S2: a base de casca de pinus) no cultivo de minitomate Sweet Grape. Foram avaliadas ao longo do ciclo de cultivo o pH, a condutividade elétrica (CE) e o teor de nitrato (NO3-drenado) e potássio (K+drenado) na solução drenada dos vasos, o índice SPAD e o teor de nitrato (NO3- pecíolo) e potássio (K+ pecíolo) da seiva do pecíolo das folhas e o teor de nitrogênio da massa seca das folhas (Nfolha). Foram determinados o número de cacho por planta (NCPP) e o comprimento médio das hastes (CMH). Os frutos colhidos foram classificados, contados e pesados para a obtenção da massa média dos frutos grandes (MMFG), médios (MMFM) e pequenos (MMFP), massa total de frutos por planta (MTFPP), massa total de frutos grandes (MTFG), médios (MTFM), pequenos (MTFP) e rachados (MTFRA), número total de frutos por planta (NTFPP), número total de frutos grandes (NTFG), médios (NTFM), pequenos (NTFP) e rachados (NTFRA). Amostras de frutos foram coletadas em três períodos e avaliadas quanto ao teor de sólidos solúveis (TSS), acidez titulável (AT) e concentração de ácido ascórbico (AA). Os valores de pHdrenado diminuíram com o aumento das doses de N da solução nutritiva. Os efeitos do N no pHdrenado se intensificaram ao longo do ciclo de cultivo em razão do acúmulo de sais no meio radicular, principalmente no S1. A CEdrenada aumentou com dose de N e foi maior no S2. O aumento da dose de N elevou os teores de NO3-drenado em ambos os substratos. O K+drenado foi superior na dose de 140% de N no S1. Os valores de índice SPAD e Nfolha aumentaram com a elevação das doses de N da solução nutritiva e reduziram ao longo do ciclo de cultivo. O NO3-pecíolo elevou com o aumento da dose de N da SN. A MMFG foi superior com a adição de 140% de N em relação à dose de 60%. O aumento da dose de N elevou o NTFG, NTFM, NTFP, NTRA e NTFPP. O maior NTFG foi obtido no S2 enquanto que o maior NTFPP, NTFP e NTFRA ocorreu no S1. A MTFG, MTFM, MTFP, MTFRA e MTFPP aumentaram com o aumento da dose de N. Os valores mais elevados de MTFG e MTFP foram obtidos na dose de 140% de N, 331,05 e 1.249,82 g planta-1, respectivamente. A maior MTFM foi obtida na dose de 120% de N, não diferindo, porém, das doses de 100 e 140% de N. O TSS, a AT e o AA dos frutos não foram influenciados pelas doses de N e tipos de substrato. / Vegetables production in soilless media is a technique that can increase yield, saving resources and facilitate the nutritional management of plants. However, for that to be possible, its necessary to know how the factors affect the plants growth in this system. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of different nitrogen rates of nutrient solution (NS) (60, 80 100, 120 and 140% of the standard) in two type of soilless media (S1: coconut fiber and S2: pine bark as base) for the mini tomato Sweet Grape growth. Were evaluated during the growing season pH, electrical conductivity (EC) and the nitrate content (NO3-drained) and potassium (K+ drained) in the solution drained from the vessels, SPAD index and the nitrate (NO3-pecíolo) and potassium (K+ petiole) content on petiole sap from the leaves and the nitrogen content in leaf dry mater (Nleaf). Were determined the number of fruit per plant (NFPP) and the average length of stems (ALS). The harvested fruits were sorted, counted and weighed to obtain the average mass of large fruits (AMLF), medium fruits (AMMF) and small fruits (AMSF), total weight of fruits per plant (TWFPP), total weight of large fruits (TWLF) medium fruits (TWMF), small fruits (TWSF) and cracked fruits (TWCF), total number of fruits per plant (TNFPP), total number of large fruits (TNLF), medium fruits (TNMF), small frutis (TNSF) and cracked fruits (TNCF). Fruit samples were collected in three periods and evaluated for soluble solids (SS), titratable acidity (TA) and concentration of ascorbic acid (AA). The pHdrained values decreased with increasing N levels in nutrient solution. The effects of N on pHdrained intensified throughout the growing season due to the accumulation of salts in the root medium, especially in S1. The CEdrained increased with N rate and was higher in S2. The increase in N rate increased the levels of NO3-drained on both substrates. The K+ drained was higher at 140% N dose in S1. SPAD index and Nleaf values increased with higher N rates in nutrient solution and reduced throughout the growing season. The NO3 - petiole increased with increasing dose of N in NS. The MMFG was higher with the addition of 140% N in relation to the dose of 60%. The increase in N rate increased the TNLF, TNMF, TNSF, TNCF and TNFPP. The biggest TNLF was obtained in S2 while the largest TNFPP, TNSF and TNCF occurred in S1. The TWLF, TWMF, TWSF, TWCF and TWFPP increased with increasing N levels in NS. The highest values of TWLF and TWSF were obtained at 140% N level, 331.05 and 1249.82 g plant-1, respectively. The biggest TWMF was obtained at 120% N level in NS, however, not differing of the 100 and 140% N levels. The SS, TA and AA fruits were not influenced by N and substrate types.

Non-mycorrhizal fungal endophytes are able to colonize internally roots without causing visible disease symptoms establishing neutral or mutualistic associations with plants. These fungi known as non-clavicipitaceous endophytes have a broad host range of monocot and eudicot plants and are highly diverse. Some of them promote plant growth and confer increased abiotic-stress tolerance and disease resistance. According to such possible effects on host plants, it was aimed to isolate and to characterize native fungal root endophytes from tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.) and to analyze their effects on plant development, plant resistance and fruit yield and quality together with the model endophyte Piriformospora indica. Fifty one new fungal strains were isolated from desinfected tomato roots of four different crop sites in Colombia. These isolates were roughly characterized and fourteen potential endophytes were further analyzed concerning their taxonomy, their root colonization capacity and their impact on plant growth. Sequencing of the ITS region from the ribosomal RNA gene cluster and in-depth morphological characterisation revealed that they correspond to different phylogenetic groups among the phylum Ascomycota. Nine different morphotypes were described including six dark septate endophytes (DSE) that did not correspond to the Phialocephala group. Detailed confocal microscopy analysis showed various colonization patterns of the endophytes inside the roots ranging from epidermal penetration to hyphal growth through the cortex. Tomato pot experiments under glass house conditions showed that they differentially affect plant growth depending on colonization time and inoculum concentration. Three new isolates (two unknown fungal endophyte DSE48, DSE49 and one identified as Leptodontidium orchidicola) with neutral or positiv effects were selected and tested in several experiments for their influence on vegetative growth, fruit yield and quality and their ability to diminish the impact of the pathogen Verticillium dahliae on tomato plants. Although plant growth promotion by all three fungi was observed in young plants, vegetative growth parameters were not affected after 22 weeks of cultivation except a reproducible increase of root diameter by the endophyte DSE49. Additionally, L. orchidicola increased biomass and glucose content of tomato fruits, but only at an early date of harvest and at a certain level of root colonization. Concerning bioprotective effects, the endophytes DSE49 and L. orchidicola decreased significantly disease symptoms caused by the pathogen V. dahliae, but only at a low dosis of the pathogen. In order to analyze, if the model root endophytic fungus Piriformospora indica could be suitable for application in production systems, its impact on tomato was evaluated. Similarly to the new fungal isolates, significant differences for vegetative growth parameters were only observable in young plants and, but protection against V. dahliae could be seen in one experiment also at high dosage of the pathogen. As the DSE L. orchidicola, P. indica increased the number and biomass of marketable tomatoes only at the beginning of fruit setting, but this did not lead to a significant higher total yield. If the effects on growth are due to a better nutrition of the plant with mineral element was analyzed in barley in comparison to the arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus Glomus mosseae. While the mycorrhizal fungus increased nitrogen and phosphate uptake of the plant, no such effect was observed for P. indica. In summary this work shows that many different fungal endophytes can be also isolated from roots of crops and, that these isolates can have positive effects on early plant development. This does, however, not lead to an increase in total yield or in improvement of fruit quality of tomatoes under greenhouse conditions. / Endophyten, die nicht zu den Mykorrhizapilzen gehören, können das Innere von Wurzeln ohne sichtbare Krankheitssymptome besiedeln und bilden so mit der Pflanze neutrale oder mutualistische Wechselwirkungen. Diese Pilze, auch als nicht-clavicipetale Endophyten bekannt, haben ein breites Wirtsspektrum von mono- und dikotyledonen Pflanzen und weisen eine hohe Diversität auf. Einige von ihnen fördern Pflanzenwachstum und erhöhen Resistenz und Toleranz gegenüber biotischem und abiotischem Stress. Ausgehenden von diesen möglichen Effekten auf ihre Wirtspflanzen war das Ziel der vorliegenden Arbeit die Isolierung und Charakterisierung neuer pilzlicher Wurzelendophyten der Tomate (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.) und die Analyse ihres Einflusses auf Pflanzenentwicklung und Pflanzenresistenz, sowie auf Ertrag und Fruchtqualität unter Einbeziehung des Modellendophyten Piriformospora indica. Aus vier verschiedenen Anbaugebieten in Kolumbien konnten 51 neue Pilzstämme von oberflächensterilisierten Tomatenwurzeln isoliert werden. Diese Isolate wurden vorcharakterisiert und 14 potentielle Endophyten bezüglich ihrer Taxonomie, ihrer Besiedlungsmuster und ihres Einfluss auf das Pflanzenwachstum näher untersucht. Sequenzierung der ITS Region des ribosomalen RNA Genclusters und genaue morphologische Charakterisierung zeigten, dass sie zu verschiedenen phylogenetischen Gruppen innerhalb der Ascomycota gehören. Neun Morphotypen ließen sich beschreiben, wobei sechs zu den ‚Dark Septate Endophytes’ (DSEs) gehören, aber nicht mit der bekannten Phialocephala Gruppe verwandt waren. Ausführliche konfokale mikroskopische Untersuchungen ergaben sehr verschiedene Besiedelungsmuster der Wurzelendophyten vom Endringen in die Epidermis bis zum Hyphenwachstum durch den Kortex. Topfexperimente unter Gewächshausbedingungen zeigten dass die Isolate in Abhängigkeit von der Inokulumkonzentration und der Zeit der Besiedlung das Wachstum der Tomaten sehr unterschiedlich beeinflussten. Drei neue Isolate (die beiden unbekannte pilzlichen Endophyten DSE48 und DSE49 und eines identifiziert als Leptodontidium orchidicola) mit neutralen oder positiven Effekten wurden für weitere Versuche ausgewählt. In mehreren Experimenten sollte ihr Einfluss auf das vegetative Wachstum, auf Ertrag und auf Fruchtqualität untersucht werden, sowie ihre Fähigkeit die Auswirkungen des Pathogens Verticillium dahliae auf Tomatenpflanzen zu vermindern. Obwohl wachstumsfördernde Effekte durch alle drei Pilze in jungen Pflanzen beobachtet wurden, waren vegetative Wachstumsparameter nach 22 Wochen der Besiedlung nicht mehr beeinflusst bis auf ein signifikante Erhöhung des Wurzeldurchmessers durch den Endophyten DSE49. L. orchidicola dagegen erhöhte die Biomasse und den Glukosegehalt der Früchte, aber nur zu frühen Ernteterminen und bei einer bestimmten Intensität der Wurzelbesiedelung. Hinsichtlich eines schützenden Effekts, konnten die Endophyten DSE49 und L. orchidicola die Krankheitssymptome, die durch V. dahliae verursacht wurden, vermindern, aber nur bei einem geringen Pathogendruck. Um zu überprüfen, ob der Modellendophyt P. indica in Produktionssytemen eingesetzt werden kann, wurde seine Auswirkungen auf Tomaten untersucht. Ähnlich wie die neuen pilzlichen Isolate, zeigte aber auch er seinen fördernden Einfluss nur auf das frühe vegetative Wachstum. Schützende Effekte gegen V. dahliae konnten ebenfalls nur bei niedrigem Pathogendruck konstant beobachtet werden. Wie L. orchidicola erhöhte P. indica die Biomasse an marktfähigen Tomaten am Anfang des Fruchtansatzes, was nicht zu einem insgesamt höheren Ertrag führte. Ob die beobachteten Effekte auf ein verbesserte Nährstoffversorgung der Pflanze zurückzuführen seien, wurde in Gerste im Vergleich mit dem arbuskulären Mykorrhizapilz Glomus mosseae untersucht. Während der Mykorrhizapilz sowohl Phosphat wie Stickstoffaufnehme der Pflanze erhöhte, konnte dies für P. indica nicht festgestellt werden. Zusammenfassend zeigt diese Arbeit, dass auch aus Wurzeln von Kulturpflanzen viele verschiedene pilzliche Endophyten isoliert werden können, und dass einige von diesen durchaus einen positiven Effekt auf die frühe Pflanzenentwicklung aufweisen. Zumindest für Tomate unter Gewächshausbedingungen führen diese Effekte aber nicht zu einer Erhöhung des Gesamtertrags oder einer nachhaltigen Verbesserung der Fruchtqualität.

Thus, in order to evaluate the accumulation of dry matter and nutrients by ‘Caeté’ tomato, and its response to nitrogen and phosphorus doses, two experiments were conducted. The first was conducted in Fazenda Terra Santa, municipality of Quixeré-CE, between the months of June and September 2013, in an area of commercial plantations, which were evaluated the accumulation dry matter and nutrients by sampling tomato plants to 14, 28, 42, 56, 70, 84 and 99 days after transplanting (DAT). The second experiment was conducted at Fazenda Boágua, municipality of Baraúna-RN, from August to October 2014. The experimental design was a randomized block with four replications. The treatments consisted of five nitrogen rates (0, 60, 120, 240 and 360 kg ha-1 of N) and five doses of phosphorus (0, 75, 150, 300 and 600 kg ha-1 P2O5). The total estimated production of dry matter was 912.84 g plant-1, with the largest accumulations of nutrients in the fruiting stage, the fruits being the preferred drains. The macro and micronutrients accumulation order by tomato plants at 99 DAT was respectively K> N> Ca> S> Mg> P and Fe> Mn> B> Zn> Cu. The nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium were accumulated in large quantities in fruits. For micronutrient accumulation was higher in the vegetative to the fruit. Nitrogen and phosphorus doses that provided the highest commercial yields were 45 and 311 kg ha-1, respectively. Nitrogen and phosphorus in the diagnostic sheet increased with the addition of N rates and P2O5 to the ground. Tomato 'Caeté' fertilized with 60 and 150 kg ha-1 of N and P2O5, accumulated 36.30 and 2.83 kg ha-1 of nitrogen and phosphorus in the fruits, respectively / Com o emprego de novas técnicas de cultivo, acrescidas de materiais genéticos de alto potencial produtivo, surge a necessidade de se avaliar os requerimentos nutricionais do tomateiro nas regiões produtoras. Desse modo, com o objetivo de avaliar o acúmulo de matéria seca e de nutrientes pelo tomateiro caeté, e sua resposta a doses de nitrogênio e fósforo, conduziram-se dois experimentos de campo. O primeiro foi conduzido na Fazenda Terra Santa, Quixeré-CE, entre os meses de junho e setembro de 2013, em uma área de plantio comercial, onde foram avaliados o acúmulo matéria seca e de nutrientes mediante a amostragem de plantas de tomateiro aos 14, 28, 42, 56, 70, 84 e 99 dias após o transplante (DAT). O segundo experimento foi desenvolvido na Fazenda Boágua, município de Baraúna-RN, no período de agosto a outubro de 2014. O delineamento experimental adotado foi o de blocos casualizados com quatro repetições. Os tratamentos foram constituídos de cinco doses de nitrogênio (0, 60, 120, 240 e 360 kg ha-1de N) e cinco doses de fósforo (0, 75, 150, 300 e 600 kg ha-1 de P2O5). A produção total de matéria seca estimada foi de 912,84 g planta-1, com os maiores acúmulos de nutrientes na fase de frutificação, sendo os frutos os drenos preferenciais. A ordem de acúmulo de macro e micronutrientes pelo tomateiro aos 99 DAT foi, respectivamente, K>N>Ca>S>Mg>P e Fe>Mn>B>Zn>Cu. O nitrogênio, fósforo e potássio foram acumulados em maiores quantidades nos frutos. Para os micronutrientes o acúmulo foi maior na parte vegetativa que nos frutos. As doses de nitrogênio e fósforo que proporcionaram as maiores produtividades comerciais foram 45 e 311 kg ha-1, respectivamente. Os teores de nitrogênio e fósforo na folha diagnóstica aumentaram com a adição de doses de N e de P2O5 ao solo. O tomate ‘Caeté’ adubado com 60 e 150 kg ha-1 de N e P2O5, acumularam 36,30 e 2,83 kg ha-1 de nitrogênio e fósforo nos frutos, respectivamente / 2016-11-10

The objective of the present study was to take advantage of biodegradable solid waste, making possible the production of organic fertilizers by means of the composting technique, with a view to their application in the cultivation of cherry tomatoes. The research was based on two experiments. The first was developed through an action research in the Community Association Recycling for Life, located in the municipality of Mossoró/RN. The composting technique was developed according to the windrow method, with the construction of five piles. Controlled until the final phase of composting, parameters such as: temperature, humidity, pH, total organic carbon, total nitrogen, and C/N ratio. Analyzes of humic substances, macro and micronutrients, chemical contaminants (Cd, Ni and Pb), total and thermotolerant coliforms, Salmonella, visual observations of maturation and suggestion of packaging and labeling of the organic compounds produced were performed. The second experiment was carried out in a protected environment, in the West Field of the Federal Rural Semi-Arid University - UFERSA, Mossoró/RN, in order to observe the effects of the organic compounds produced in the cultivation of cherry tomatoes. The experimental design used was in randomized blocks, with five replicates and five treatments, the organic fertilizers produced in the first experiment were combined with coconut fiber (1:1). In the culture were evaluated growth, production, post-harvest quality, nutrition and microbiological analysis.The stabilized organic compounds reached satisfactory results with C/N values between 12/1 to 16/1, presenting as good soil conditioners with potential to improve the physicochemical characteristics of a soil that presents nutritional deficiency. The levels of chemical contaminants evaluated were well below those established in the main European, American and normative legislation, showing that they are within the parameters of quality for the organic compounds that will have applications as fertilizers and soil conditioners. The compounds produced showed absence of total coliforms, thermotolerant and Salmonella. In the crop, the organic production was satisfactory to favor a product of quality free of nutritional and healthy deficiency due to the absence of pathogens. The T5 treatment presented a better result with higher phytomass and average productivity, indicating that significant and diversified amounts of food residues influence the amount of nutrients that will be available to the crop. The results allow us to affirm that the application of cattle manure and dietary residues in small scale composting originated a product with adequate nutritional characteristics and did not alter the microbiological quality of the compounds and concomitantly of the cultivated tomatoes, resulting in the production of healthy fruits. This favors the organic production system as a market potential and an economic alternative for family farmers / A compostagem é uma solução para reciclagem de resíduos orgânicos, transformando-os em composto que podem ser utilizados como aporte de nutrientes para qualquer espécie vegetal, tendo destaque para o grupo das hortaliças. O objetivo do presente estudo foi aproveitar os resíduos sólidos biodegradáveis, viabilizando a produção de adubos orgânicos por meio da técnica de compostagem, com vista à sua aplicação no cultivo do tomate cereja. A pesquisa foi fundamentada em dois experimentos. O primeiro foi desenvolvido através de uma pesquisa ação na Associação Comunitária Reciclando para a Vida, localizada no município de Mossoró/RN. A técnica de compostagem foi desenvolvida de acordo com o método “windrow”, com a construção de cinco pilhas. Monitorados até a fase final da compostagem, parâmetros como: temperatura, umidade, pH, carbono orgânico total, nitrogênio total, e relação C/N. Nos compostos maturados foram realizadas análises de substâncias húmicas, macro e micronutrientes, contaminantes químicos (Cd, Ni e Pb), coliformes totais e termotolerantes, Salmonella, observações visuais da maturação e sugestão de embalagem e rotulagem dos compostos orgânicos produzidos. O segundo experimento foi desenvolvido em ambiente protegido, no Campo Oeste da Universidade Federal Rural do Semi-Árido -UFERSA, Mossoró/RN, com a finalidade de observar os efeitos dos compostos orgânicos produzidos no cultivo do tomate cereja. O delineamento experimental utilizado foi em blocos casualizados, com cinco repetições e cinco tratamentos, os adubos orgânicos, produzidos no primeiro experimento foi combinado com fibra de coco (1: 1). Na cultura foram realizadas avaliações de crescimento, produção, qualidade pós-colheita, nutrição e análise microbiológica. Os compostos orgânicos estabilizados atingiram resultados satisfatórios com valores da relação C/N entre 12/1 a 16/1, apresentando-se como bons condicionantes de solo com potencial para melhorar as características físico-químicas de um solo que apresente deficiência nutricional. Os teores de contaminantes químicos avaliados foram bem inferiores aos estabelecidos nas principais legislações europeias, americanas e instrução normativa vigente, mostrando estar dentro dos parâmetros de qualidade para os compostos orgânicos que terão aplicações como fertilizantes e condicionadores de solo. Os compostos produzidos apresentaram ausência de coliformes totais, termotolerantes e Salmonella. Na cultura, a produção orgânica mostrou-se satisfatória por favorecer um produto de qualidade isento de deficiência nutricional e saudável devido a ausência de patógenos. O tratamento T5, apresentou um melhor resultado com maior fitomassa e produtividade média, indicando que quantidades significativas e diversificadas de resíduos alimentares influenciam na quantidade de nutrientes que estarão disponíveis para a cultura. Os resultados permitem afirmar que a aplicação de esterco bovino e restos alimentares na compostagem, em pequena escala, originou um produto com características nutricionais adequadas e não alterou a qualidade microbiológica dos compostos e concomitantemente dos tomates cultivados, resultando na produção de frutos saudáveis. Isso favorece o sistema de produção orgânica como um potencial de mercado e uma alternativa econômica para os produtores familiares / 2017-02-15

Several plant pathogenic fungi affect this crop, which causes an excessive use of chemicals, thereby increasing the cost of production. Septoria lycopersici, causal agent of Septoria leaf spot, occur in all tomato-producing areas around the world and causes severe losses on high humidity conditions. Management techniques as crop rotation, chemical seed treatment, systemic and contact fungicides has been used to control the disease. The aims of this work were: a) to evaluate the protective and curative activity of the fungicides b) to determinate the effective dose (ED50);. Septoria strains were obtained from symptomatic tomato leaves of tomato cultivars located at several production areas. Active ingredients used in the assay of the curative effect were thiophanate-methyl, mancozebe, difenoconazol and metconazol, in commercial rates. The fungicides were applied to plant at 12; 24; 36; 48; 72 and 96 hours after inoculation. To evaluate the protective activity were used the fungicides azoxystrobin, chlorothalonil, mancozebe and captan, in commercial rates. Plants were sprayed with spore suspension at 12; 24; 36; 48; 72 and 96 hours after the application of fungicides. Germination index was evaluated in the in vitro assays, using different concentrations of thiophanate-methyl and mancozebe (0,1;1;10;100 e 1000 mg.L-1 active ingredient). Data were subjected to analysis of variance and differences assessed using the method of Tukey (p < 0,05). All analysis were performed using the software R. Difenoconazol and metconazol were the more effective curative treatments, while azoxystrobin and chlorothalonil showed the best protective activity / O tomate (Solanum lycopersicum L.) é a segunda hortaliça mais produzida no mundo e o seu cultivo exige alto nível tecnológico e intensa mão de obra, o que eleva a importância econômica e social da cultura. Essa hortaliça é afetada por doenças fúngicas, exigindo gastos adicionais com agrotóxico, elevando os custos de produção. A septoriose ou mancha-de-septoria causada pelo fungo Septoria lycopersici possui importância no tomateiro em locais de alta pluviosidade ocorrendo em quase todas as regiões produtoras do Brasil e do mundo. O presente trabalho teve como objetivos: a) avaliar a ação curativa preventiva e dos fungicidas testados a) avaliar a eficiência in vitro de fungicidas sobre a germinação de conídios de S. lycopersici, c) indicar a dose efetiva - ED50; para cada isolado;. Foram obtidos isolados de S. lycopersici a partir de folhas de tomate com sintomas de septoriose de diferentes cultivares na Região do Alto Vale do Rio do Peixe. Os princípios ativos utilizados para o ação curativa foram tiofanato metílico, mancozebe, difenoconazol e metconazol nas doses comerciais. As plantas foram tratadas com os fungicidas 12; 24; 36; 48; 72 e 96 horas após a inoculação. Para avaliar ao ação preventiva os tratamentos utilizados foram azoxistrobina, clorotalonil, captana e mancozebe nas doses comerciais. Pulverizou-se a suspensão de conídios sobre todas as folhas com 12; 24; 36; 48; 72 e 96 horas após o tratamento com os fungicidas. Para o experimento in vitro avaliou-se a germinação de conídios em relação aos princípios ativos tiofanato metílico e mancozebe nas concentrações de ingrediente ativo de 0,1;1;10;100 e 1000mg.L-1. Avaliou-se a germinação de conídios. Os dados foram submetidos à análise de variância (p <0,05), e quando significativos, á análise de regressão. Foram realizadas contrastes de médias por meio de teste de Tukey a 5% de significância para comparação das médias, utilizando o programa R. Os tratamentos curativos com eficiência foram difenoconazol e metconazol. Clorotalonil e azoxistrobina apresentaram controle como preventivo. Nos testes in vitro verifica-se que os isolados coletados na Região do Alto vale do Rio do Peixe são insensíveis ao princípio ativo mancozebe e tiofanato metílico, indicando uma possível resistência a esses fungicidas

Em Arabidopsis thaliana, a superfamília de RLK é composta de mais de 600 membros e vários destes, principalmente aqueles que possuem repetições ricas em leucina (LRR), são considerados excelentes alvos para manipulação molecular em cultivares superiores no intuito de aumentar a produtividade e a resistência contra estresses bióticos e abióticos. A subfamília LRRII é particularmente relevante neste aspecto uma vez que seus membros apresentam funções duplas tanto no desenvolvimento quanto na resposta de defesa da planta. Apesar da relevância desta superfamília e da recente finalização do sequenciamento do genoma de tomateiro, a superfamília de RLK de tomate ainda não se encontra caracterizada e são poucos os trabalhos que analisaram a função biológica de seus membros. Neste trabalho, foi construído um inventário completo dos membros da superfamília de RLK de tomate. Para identificar os membros da superfamília RLK em tomate, foi realizado uma análise filogenética utilizando a superfamília de RLK de Arabidopsis como modelo. Um total de 647 RLKs foram recuperados do genoma de tomate e estes encontravam- se organizados no mesmo clado das subfamílias de RLKs de Arabidopsis. Apenas oito das 58 subfamílias exibiram expansão/redução específica no número de menbros comparado com Arabidopsis e apenas seis RLKs foram específicos em tomate, indicando que os RLKs de tomate compartilham aspectos funcionais e estruturais com os RLKs de Arabidopsis. Também foi caracterizado a subfamília LRRII através de análises filogenéticos, genômico, expressão gênica e interação com o fator de virulência de begomovírus, o nuclear shuttle protein (NSP). Os membros da subfamília LRRII de tomate e Arabidopsis demonstraram-se altamente conservados tanto em sequência quanto em estrutura. No entanto, a maioria dos pares ortólogos não mostraram conservados em relação à expressão gênica, indicando que estes ortólogos tenham se divergido na função após a especiação do ancestral comum entre o tomate e Arabidopsis. Baseado no fato de que membros de RLKs de Arabidopsis (NIK1, NIK2, NIK3 e NsAK) interagem com o NSP de begomovirus, foi verificado se ortólogos de NIKs, BAK1 e NsAK interagem com o NSP de Tomato Yellow Spot Virus (ToYSV). Os ortólogos dos genes que interagem com o NSP em tomate, SlNIKs e SlNsAK, interagiram especificamente com NSP na levedura e demonstraram um padrão de expressão consistente com o padrão de infecção de geminivírus. Além de sugerir uma analogia funcional entre estes ortólogos, estes resultados confirmam a observação anterior de que as interações NSP-NIK não são específicos para um vírus ou para um hospedeiro. Portanto, a sinalização antiviral mediado por NIK provavelmente ocorre em tomate, sugerindo que NIKs de tomate sejam alvos potenciais para manipular a resistência contra begomovírus que infectam esta planta. / Receptor-like kinases (RLKs) represent a large family of transmembrane proteins that play important roles in cellular signaling perception and propagation in plants. In Arabidopsis thaliana, the RLK superfamily is made-up of over 600 proteins and many of these RLKs, mainly those bearing leucine-rich repeats (LRR), have been considered as excellent targets for engineering superior crops with enhancement of yield and resistance to biotic and abiotic stresses. The LRRII-RLK subfamily is particularly relevant due to the dual function of its members in both development and defense. In spite of the relevance of the RLK family and the completion of the tomato genome sequencing, the tomato RLK family has not been characterized and a framework for functional predictions of the members of the family is lacking. In this investigation we disclosed a complete inventory of the members of the tomato RLK family. To generate a complete list of all members of the tomato RLK superfamily, we performed a phylogenetic analysis using the Arabidopsis RLKs as a template. A total of 647 RLKs were identified in the tomato genome, which were organized into the same RLK subfamily clades as Arabidopsis. Only eight of 58 RLK subfamilies exhibited specific expansion/reduction compared to their Arabidopsis counterparts and only six proteins were lineage-specific in tomato, indicating that the tomato RLKs share functional and structural conservation with Arabidopsis. We also characterized the LRRII-RLK family by phylogeny, genomic analysis, expression profile and interaction with the virulence factor from begomoviruses, the nuclear shuttle protein (NSP). The LRRII subfamily members from tomato and Arabidopsis were highly conserved in both sequence and structure. Nevertheless, the majority of the orthologous pairs did not display similar conservation in the gene expression profile, indicating that these orthologs may have diverged in function after speciation of tomato and Arabidopsis common ancestor. Based on the fact that members of the Arabidopsis RLK superfamily (NIK1, NIK2, NIK3 and NsAK) interact with the begomovirus nuclear shuttle protein (NSP), we examined whether the tomato orthologs of NIK, BAK1 and NsAK genes interacted with NSP of Tomato Yellow Spot Virus (ToYSV). The tomato orthologs of NSP interactors, SlNIKs and SlNsAK, interacted specifically with NSP in yeast and displayed an expression pattern consistent with the pattern of geminivirus infection. In addition to suggesting a functional analogy between these phylogenetically classified orthologs, these results expand our previous observation that NSP-NIK interactions are neither virus-specific nor host-specific. Therefore, NIK-mediated antiviral signalling is also likely to operate in tomato, suggesting that tomato NIKs may be good targets for engineering resistance against tomato-infecting begomoviruses.

These nets not only scatter but spectrally-modify the transmitted light, in order to promote desired physiological responses and improve the penetration of the light into the inner plant canopy. Tomato is the second most important horticulture crop in the world. Traditionally, tomato is cultivated in the open field, but recently there has been an increase of the protect cultivation area aiming to protect plants from climate adversities. This study aimed to investigate whether a combination of growth regulator, increased plant density and the effect of red screen-shade net could improve tomato yield, quality and promote desired vegetative development. The experiment was conducted from May 21st to November 1st, 2014, in Goiânia, Brazil (16º35´47´´S, 49°16´47´´W, 730 m). The hybrid Ivete from Sakata Seeds® were cultivated in 16x12x 2.2 m3, 40% red shading screenhouse and field plots as control. Leaf area index, trusses height, and total height were measured. The total number, total weight, diameter and number of lost fruits were totaled. Nutritional analyses were also performed: physical (Fresh mass, total solid soluble - TSS, titritable acidity - TA, SST/AT ratio and pH) and nutritional parameters (vitamin C and lycopene) in two moments of collecting of fruits (98 and 129 days after transplantation). All the measures were carried by official methods. Results showed that highest yields were obtained using 3 plants per m2 in both environments. The highest total fruit production occurred in open field conditions. However, the total fruit lost in the open field conditions was greater. Fruits produced in an open field were more acidic and had greater titratable acidity (0.37% citric acid) compared to fruits from screenhouse (0.33 % citric acid) at 3 plant per square meter. In addition, fruits grown in the field had greater TSS content (6.6 °Brix) than tomatoes grown in a protected environment (5.4 °Brix). Fruits produced in the open field had greater TSS:TA ratios than those produced in a protected environment. Significantly higher lycopene content was observed in plastic-house tomatoes integrated with red shade netting technologies (47.0 μg g−1) using 2.3 plants per m² than in open field-grown tomatoes (29.6 μg g−1). The results provide useful data for detecting differences among environment variation in tomato composition and red colour shade nets. In addition, the photoselective red screen combined with the density of 3 plants per m² promoted higher yield of commercial fruits. / O uso de telas fotosseletivas tem sido uma abordagem recente no cultivo protegido. Pode promover benefícios, além das funções de proteção das malhas de plástico. Estas telas não só agem na dispersão da luz, como agem também na modificação do espectro da luz transmitida, de modo a promover respostas fisiológicas desejadas na planta, além de melhorar a penetração da luz no interior de sua parte aérea. No Brasil, o tomate é a olerícola mais importante e tradicionalmente cultivada em campo aberto. Recentemente o uso de telas plásticas com sombreamento colorido tem sido estudado para proteger as plantas de adversidades climáticas. Este estudo teve como objetivo investigar se a combinação do adensamento de plantas, o uso de reguladores de crescimento e o efeito da malha fotosseletiva vermelha poderiam melhorar a produtividade e a qualidade dos frutos de tomateiro e promover desenvolvimento vegetativo desejado. O experimento foi realizado no período de 21 maio a 1° novembro 2014, em Goiânia, Brasil (16º35'47''S, 49 ° 16'47''W, 730 m). O híbrido Ivete da Sakata Seeds® foi cultivado sob telado vermelho e campo aberto. Índice de área foliar, altura final da planta e altura dos cachos foram medidas. O número total, peso total, diâmetro e número de frutos não comerciais foram totalizados. Foram, também, realizadas medidas físicas (massa fresca, sólidos solúveis totais (SST em °Brix), acidez titulável (AT), razão SST / AT e pH) e variáveis nutricionais (vitamina C e licopeno) em dois momentos de coleta dos frutos (98 e 129 dias após transplantio). Todas as medidas foram realizadas por métodos oficiais de análise. Frutos produzidas em campo aberto foram mais ácidos e tiveram maior acidez total titulável (0,37%) em relação aos frutos produzidos sob telado plástico (0,33%) com 0,3 m de espaçamento entre plantas. Além disso, frutos cultivadas no campo apresentaram maior teor de SST (6,6 °Brix) do que aqueles cultivados em ambiente protegido (5,4 °Brix). Além disso, as frutos produzidas no campo aberto tiveram maior Ratio (SST/ AT) do que as produzidas em um ambiente protegido. Observou-se significativamente maiores teores de licopeno em frutos cultivados sob telado vermelho (47,0 mg g-1) em 0,4 m de espaçamento do que em tomates cultivados em campo aberto (29,6 mg g-1). Os resultados mostraram que maior produtividade foi obtidos com densidade de 3 plantas por m2 em ambos os ambientes. A maior produção total de frutos ocorreu em condições de campo aberto (12,87 kg.m-2). O total de frutos perdido nas condições de campo aberto foi maior. Os resultados do presente estudo fornecem informações úteis para a detecção e compreensão de diferenças entre variações ambiente e formas de cultivo nas características agronômicas, nutricionais e fisico-químicas dos frutos de tomate.

FundaÃÃo de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado do Amazonas / The grafting technique has aroused special interest among vegetable producers around the world, this because it allows to obtain quick responses in areas that already have problems with pests and vegetables disease, especially soils, and allows the producer to continue using the same production system, with small change and adaptation of their seedling production system. Despite the foregoing, few results in the literature showing the productive and physiological behavior of grown tomato grafts on different rootstocks. Based on the above, the aim of this study was to evaluate yield and physiological characteristics of tomato 'Santa Clara', grafted on rootstocks prepared from different cultivars and species of Solanaceae family. The study was conducted in the open field area and Plant Growth Laboratory, located on the Pici campus, belonging to the Federal University of Ceara . It was used a randomized complete block design (RBD), being seven the treatments, seven types of rootstocks, ie cherry tomato 'Vermelho'; tomato 'GuardiÃo', aubergine 'Comprida Roxa ', eggplant 'Comprido Grande Rio', coconna(S. sessiliflorum), pimentoeiro 'Casca Dura Ikeda', besides the tomato 'Santa Clara' used in autograft system. In addition, to explain possible effects of grafting in the evaluated characteristics was also evaluated the tomato 'Santa Clara' ungrafted. Differences were observed for most traits. In general, all the rootstocks used were efficient in providing conditions for the complete phenological development used graft. For the conditions of this work, the rootstock cherry tomato 'Vermelho' and ungrafted plants were the treatments that showed the best production results, and may be indicated as sustainable alternative production in low altitude and latitude production areas. / A tÃcnica da enxertia tem despertado especial interesse por parte dos produtores de algumas hortaliÃas ao redor do mundo, isso porque possibilita a obtenÃÃo de respostas rÃpidas em Ãreas que jà apresentam problemas com fitomolÃstias, principalmente as de solos, alÃm de permitir que o produtor continue utilizando o mesmo sistema produtivo, com pequena alteraÃÃo e adaptaÃÃo de seu sistema de produÃÃo de mudas. Apesar do exposto, hà poucos resultados na literatura que mostrem o comportamento produtivo e fisiolÃgico de enxertos de tomateiro crescidos em diferentes porta-enxertos. Com base no exposto, objetivou-se com este trabalho avaliar as caracterÃsticas produtivas e fisiolÃgicas do tomateiro âSanta Claraâ, enxertado sobre porta-enxertos formados a partir de diferentes cultivares e espÃcies de solanÃceas. O estudo foi realizado na Horta DidÃtica e no LaboratÃrio de Crescimento de Plantas, localizados no Campus Pici, pertencente à Universidade Federal do CearÃ. Foi utilizado o delineamento em blocos casualizados (DBC), sendo sete os tratamentos avaliados, sete tipos de porta-enxertos, ou seja, tomateiro cereja âVermelhoâ, tomateiro âGuardiÃoâ, berinjeleira âComprida Roxaâ, jiloeiro âComprido Grande Rioâ, cubieiro (S. sessiliflorum), pimentoeiro âCasca Dura Ikedaâ, alÃm do tomateiro âSanta Claraâ utilizado em sistema de autoenxertia. AlÃm destes, para explicar possÃveis efeitos da enxertia, nas caracterÃsticas avaliadas, tambÃm foi avaliado o tomateiro âSanta Claraâ pÃ-franco. Foram observadas diferenÃas para a maioria dos caracteres avaliados. De forma geral, todos os porta-enxertos utilizados foram eficientes em proporcionar condiÃÃes para o completo desenvolvimento fenolÃgico do enxerto utilizado. Para as condiÃÃes de realizaÃÃo deste trabalho, o porta-enxerto tomateiro cereja âVermelhoâ e a planta pÃ-franco foram os tratamentos que apresentaram os melhores resultados produtivos, podendo ser indicados como alternativas de produÃÃo sustentÃvel em Ãreas de produÃÃo de baixa altitude e latitude.
