Green and Sustainable Chemistry (GSC) provides scientific and ethical innovations to achieve a sustainable future. In this context, international efforts and strategies have been made to incorporate this green philosophy into education. Brazil has immense potential to lead in this scenario, providing new approaches to introduce GSC into secondary education, especially with 2022 being the International Year of Basic Sciences for Sustainable Development. However, most published works on GSC are in English, which can be a language barrier for implementing GSC into Portuguese-speaking communities, such as Brazil. From this perspective, this paper aims to present a translation of the “Periodic Table of the Elements of Green and Sustainable Chemistry” by Paul T. Anastas and Julie B. Zimmerman into the Portuguese language. Our systematic translation of the names of the elements into Portuguese followed rigorous semantic and contextual details required for this process. We also identified and recommended some teaching opportunities of this interdisciplinary encyclopedia in alignment with a sustainable future. This green periodic table is a multidisciplinary tool that provides directions for “Systems Thinking in Chemistry Education”. Therefore, we contributed to the standardization and greater discussion of this alternative periodic table for future Portuguese-language publications.

With the objective to evaluate levels of available phosphorus (aP) in diets with or without ractopamine, 112 gilts with high genetic potential for meat deposition with initial weigh of 94.0±2.28 kg were allotted in a completely randomized block design, in a 4 × 2 factorial arrangement (0.109, 0.209, 0.309, and 0.409% aP and 0 or 5 ppm of ractopamine), with eight treatments, seven replicates, and two gilts per experimental unit. There were no interactions between aP levels and ractopamine. The levels of available phosphorus influenced both daily weight gain and daily phosphorus intake, which increased linearly. Feed conversion improved in a quadratic way up to the estimated level of 0.330% aP maximum response. Daily weight gain increased and feed conversion improved by adding ractopamine to the diets. Serum alkaline phosphatase activity decreased linearly by increasing the levels of available phosphorus. Bone strength, ash, calcium, and phosphorus contents in the bones also increased quadratically with maximum responses at 0.320, 0.270, 0.277, and 0.295% aP, respectively. The available phosphorus level of 0.330%, corresponding to a daily intake of 8.67 g of aP is suitable for 94 to 125 kg gilts selected for meat deposition fed diets with or without ractopamine.

Os objetivos foram induzir a organogênese direta de explantes cotiledonares de mogango e estudar a regeneração de plântulas completas a partir das brotações adventícias. Foram utilizados cotilédones como explantes, originados das plântulas de mogango com 20 dias após a semeadura. O meio basal utilizado foi o MS (MURASHIGE & SKOOG, 1962) suplementado com 30g L-1 de sacarose e 7g L-1 de agar. Foram testadas as concentrações de 6-benzilaminopurina (BAP) de 0; 0,5; 1,0 e 2,0mg L-1. Explantes de ápices caulinares e segmentos nodais de brotações adventícias foram então cultivados em meio MS suplementado com 30g L-1 de sacarose e 7g L-1 de agar. Maiores concentrações de BAP no meio MS promoveram um aumento da percentagem de explantes cotiledonares com brotações adventícias e uma redução da percentagem de enraizamento. Explantes de segmentos nodais e ápices caulinares oriundos de brotações adventícias cresceram e enraizaram em meio MS sem reguladores de crescimento. Altas percentagens de enraizamento dependem do tamanho dos explantes utilizados.

The objectives were to induce direct organogenesis of squash cotyledons and to study the regeneration of complete plantlets from adventitious shoot. Cotyledon explants of 20-day seedlings were cultured in MS (MURASHIGE & SKOOG, 1962) medium supplemented with 30g L-1 of sucrose and 7g L-1 of agar. The 6-benzilaminopurina (BAP) concentrations of 0, 0.5, 1.0 and 2.0mg L-1 were tested. Apical and nodal explants from adventitious shoots were transferred to MS medium supplemented with 30g L-1 of sucrose and 7g L-1 of agar. Increasing BAP concentrations in the MS medium enhance the percentage of adventitious shoot and reduce the percentage of root organogenesis of squash cotyledon explants. Apical and nodal explants from adventitious shoot regenerated plantlets with roots in MS medium without growth regulators. High percentage of plantlet rooting depends upon the size of the explants.
