In this study, we aimed to investigate the anticancer activity of the extract, fractions, and isolated compounds of the flowers of Fridericia platyphylla, and to characterize the bioactive compounds. The chemical diversity of the extracts and fractions was investigated using liquid chromatography coupled with high resolution mass spectrometry (LC-HRMS). We were able to annotate 26 compounds from the classes of flavones, flavonols, flavanones, isoflavones, and cinnamic acid and its derivatives. The dichloromethane fraction showed greater cytotoxicity at a concentration of 100 µg mL−1. In addition, the inhibitory concentrations of the dichloromethane fraction were 22.14 and 30.9 µg mL−1 for MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 cell lines, respectively, and were capable of inhibiting tumor cell migration. Brachydins A and C were isolated from the dichloromethane fraction and showed the greatest cytotoxicity. The results obtained from this study show the potential biological effect of F. platyphylla flowers as a possible antitumor pharmacological agent. extract LCHRMS. LCHRMS LC HRMS .

Resumo A busca por herbicidas mais amigáveis ao meio ambiente, visando o controle de pragas agrícolas, aliado a uma menor nocividade à saúde humana e ao meio ambiente tem crescido. Uma alternativa utilizada pelos pesquisadores é a aplicação de produtos do metabolismo secundário de plantas, que são investigados em virtude do seu potencial bioativo. Assim, espécies pertencentes à família Myrtaceae são potenciais nestes estudos, uma vez que esta família é reconhecida por possuir alta atividade biológica. Uma espécie pertencente a este gênero é Psidium cattleyanum, que possui efeito medicinal e seus frutos são utilizados na alimentação humana. Assim, o objetivo desta pesquisa foi avaliar e comparar a fitocitogenotoxicidade de extratos foliares aquosos e etanólicos da espécie P. cattleyanum, a partir de bioensaios vegetais, bem como identificar as principais classes de compostos presentes nos extratos. Para isso, os extratos foram preparados e caracterizados e foram realizados testes biológicos avaliando, em sementes e plântulas de alface e sorgo, as variáveis: porcentagem de germinação, índice de velocidade de germinação, crescimento radicular e crescimento aéreo; em células meristemáticas de alface foram avaliadas as variáveis: fases mitóticas, índice mitótico, alterações nucleares e alterações cromossômicas. Flavonas, flavononas, flavonóis, flavononóis, flavonóides, alcalóides, resinas, xantonas e glicosídeo de antraquinona foram caracterizados no extrato etanólico. Ambos os extratos avaliados, na maior concentração, inibiram o desenvolvimento inicial da planta. Todos os tratamentos causaram alterações nas fases mitóticas e inibiram o índice mitótico. Além disso, os tratamentos promoveram aumento de alterações nucleares e cromossômicas. O mecanismo de ação apresentado foi aneugênico, clastogênico e epigenético. O extrato etanólico foi mais citotóxico, pois teve efeito mais expressivo em menor concentração. Apesar da citotoxicidade dos extratos em estudo, eles promoveram alterações em níveis inferiores ao controle positivo glifosato.
Abstract The search for more environmental friendly herbicides, aiming at the control of agricultural pests, combinated with less harmfulness to human health and the environment has grown. An alternative used by researchers is the application of products of secondary plant metabolism, which are investigated due to their potential bioactivities. Thus, species belonging to the Myrtaceae family are potential in these studies, since this family is recognized for having high biological activity. A species belonging to this genus is Psidium cattleyanum, which has a medicinal effect and its fruits are used in human food. Thus, the objective of this research was to evaluate and compare the phyto-cyto-genotoxicity of aqueous and ethanolic leaf extracts of the specie P. cattleyanum, from plant bioassays, as well as to identify the main classes of compounds present in the extracts. For this, the extracts were prepared, characterized and biological tests were carried out by evaluating, in seeds and seedlings of lettuce and sorghum, the variables: percentage of germination, germination speed index, root growth and aerial growth; and in meristematic lettuce cells the variables: mitotic phases, mitotic index, nuclear alterations and chromosomal alterations. Flavones, flavonones, flavonols, flavononols, flavonoids, alkaloids, resins, xanthones and anthraquinone glycoside were characterized in the ethanolic extract. Both evaluated extracts, in the highest concentration, inhibited the initial plant development. All treatments caused alterations in the mitotic phases and inhibited mitotic index. In addition, the treatments promoted an increase in nuclear and chromosomal alterations. The mechanism of action presented was aneugenic, clastogenic and determined in epigenetic alterations. The ethanolic extract was more cytotoxic, since it had a more expressive effect at a lower concentration. Despite the cytotoxicity of the extracts under study, they promoted alterations at lower levels than the glyphosate positive control.

Resumo Candida albicans é a principal espécie fúngica envolvida na candidíase bucal, e sua crescente resistência ao tratamento farmacológico encoraja a busca por melhores agentes antifúngicos. O óleo essencial da Lavandula dentata L. (LD-EO) tem sido reconhecido por sua atividade antimicrobiana, porém pouco se conhece o seu papel contra C. albicans bucal. Este trabalho avaliou as atividades antifúngica e antibiofilme, mecanismos de ação e toxicidade do LD-EO do Brasil contra cepas de C. albicans bucal. A atividade antifúngica foi avaliada baseando-se em: Concentração Inibitória Mínima (CIM), Concentração Fungicida Mínima (CFM), estudo de associação com o miconazol (método Checkerboard) e ensaios com sorbitol e ergosterol. A inibição da formação do biofilme e a ruptura do biofilme pré-formado foram considerados no estudo dos efeitos do produto. Adicionalmente, a toxicidade do LD-EO foi avaliada pelo ensaio de hemólise em eritrócitos humanos. A análise fitoquímica por cromatografia gasosa-espectrometria de massa identificou eucaliptol (33.1%), cânfora (18.3%) e fenchona (15.6%) como constituintes majoritários. A substância teste revelou atividade principalmente fungicida (CIM100 = 8 μg/mL; CFM = 16 μg/mL), inclusive contra dois isolados de C. albicans resistentes ao miconazol. Os efeitos do LD-EO foram sinérgicos aos do miconazol e parecem não envolver danos à parede celular ou à membrana plasmática fúngica. Sua efetividade em inibir a formação do biofilme foi maior que o efeito de eliminação do biofilme pré-formado. Finalmente, o produto exerceu baixa atividade hemolítica na CIM. Considerando os resultados favoráveis e inéditos aqui descritos, o LD-EO poderia constituir uma alternativa terapêutica promissora para a candidíase bucal, incluindo casos resistentes ao miconazol. bucal antifúngicos L LDEO LD EO (LD-EO antimicrobiana C antibiofilme baseandose baseando CIM, CIM , (CIM) CFM, (CFM) método Checkerboard ergosterol préformado pré formado Adicionalmente humanos gasosaespectrometria gasosa espectrometria 33.1%, 331 33.1% 33 1 (33.1%) 18.3% 183 18 3 (18.3% 15.6% 156 15 6 (15.6% majoritários CIM100 (CIM10 μg/mL μgmL μg mL μg/mL, μg/mL) préformado. formado.

Abstract Candida albicans is the main fungal species involved in oral candidiasis, and its increasing resistance to pharmacological treatment encourages the search for improved antifungal agents. Lavandula dentata L. essential oil (LD-EO) has been recognized for its antimicrobial activity, but little is known about its role against oral C. albicans. This study evaluated the antifungal and antibiofilm activities, mechanisms of action, and toxicity of LD-EO from Brazil against oral strains of C. albicans. Antifungal activity was assessed based on Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC), Minimum Fungicidal Concentration (MFC), association study with miconazole (Checkerboard method), and sorbitol and ergosterol assays. Inhibition of biofilm formation and disruption of preformed biofilm were considered when studying the effects of the product. Additionally, the toxicity of LD-EO was evaluated by a hemolysis assay on human erythrocytes. Phytochemical analysis by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry identified eucalyptol (33.1%), camphor (18.3%), and fenchone (15.6%) as major constituents. The test substance showed mainly fungicidal activity (MIC100 = 8 μg/mL; MFC = 16 μg/mL), including against two miconazole-resistant isolates of C. albicans. The effects of LD-EO were synergistic with those of miconazole and appeared not to involve damage to the fungal cell wall or plasma membrane. Its effectiveness in inhibiting biofilm formation was higher than the effect of disrupting preformed biofilm. Finally, the product exhibited low hemolytic activity at MIC. Based on the favorable and novel results described here, LD-EO could constitute a promising therapeutic alternative for oral candidiasis, including miconazole-resistant cases. candidiasis agents L LDEO LD EO (LD-EO C activities action MIC, MIC , (MIC) MFC, (MFC) Checkerboard method, method method) assays Additionally erythrocytes chromatographymass chromatography mass 33.1%, 331 33.1% 33 1 (33.1%) 18.3%, 183 18.3% 18 3 (18.3%) 15.6% 156 15 6 (15.6% constituents MIC100 (MIC10 μg/mL μgmL μg mL μg/mL, μg/mL) miconazoleresistant resistant membrane Finally here cases (MIC (MFC 33.1 (33.1% 18.3 (18.3% 15.6 (15.6 MIC10 (MIC1 33.

ABSTRACT The limited temporal completeness and taxonomic accuracy of species lists, made available in a traditional manner in scientific publications, has always represented a problem. These lists are invariably limited to a few taxonomic groups and do not represent up-to-date knowledge of all species and classifications. In this context, the Brazilian megadiverse fauna is no exception, and the Catálogo Taxonômico da Fauna do Brasil (CTFB) (http://fauna.jbrj.gov.br/), made public in 2015, represents a database on biodiversity anchored on a list of valid and expertly recognized scientific names of animals in Brazil. The CTFB is updated in near real time by a team of more than 800 specialists. By January 1, 2024, the CTFB compiled 133,691 nominal species, with 125,138 that were considered valid. Most of the valid species were arthropods (82.3%, with more than 102,000 species) and chordates (7.69%, with over 11,000 species). These taxa were followed by a cluster composed of Mollusca (3,567 species), Platyhelminthes (2,292 species), Annelida (1,833 species), and Nematoda (1,447 species). All remaining groups had less than 1,000 species reported in Brazil, with Cnidaria (831 species), Porifera (628 species), Rotifera (606 species), and Bryozoa (520 species) representing those with more than 500 species. Analysis of the CTFB database can facilitate and direct efforts towards the discovery of new species in Brazil, but it is also fundamental in providing the best available list of valid nominal species to users, including those in science, health, conservation efforts, and any initiative involving animals. The importance of the CTFB is evidenced by the elevated number of citations in the scientific literature in diverse areas of biology, law, anthropology, education, forensic science, and veterinary science, among others. publications problem uptodate up date classifications context exception (CTFB http//fauna.jbrj.gov.br/, httpfaunajbrjgovbr http //fauna.jbrj.gov.br/ , jbrj gov br (http://fauna.jbrj.gov.br/) 2015 Brazil 80 specialists 1 2024 133691 133 691 133,69 125138 125 138 125,13 82.3%, 823 82 3 (82.3% 102000 102 000 102,00 7.69%, 769 7 69 (7.69% 11000 11 11,00 . 3,567 3567 567 (3,56 2,292 2292 2 292 (2,29 1,833 1833 833 (1,83 1,447 1447 447 (1,44 1000 1,00 831 (83 628 (62 606 (60 520 (52 50 users science health biology law anthropology education others http//fauna.jbrj.gov.br/ faunajbrjgovbr //fauna.jbrj.gov.br (http://fauna.jbrj.gov.br/ 201 8 202 13369 13 133,6 12513 12 125,1 82.3% (82.3 10200 10 00 102,0 7.69% 76 6 (7.69 1100 11,0 3,56 356 56 (3,5 2,29 229 29 (2,2 1,83 183 83 (1,8 1,44 144 44 (1,4 100 1,0 (8 62 (6 60 52 (5 5 http//fauna.jbrj.gov.br (http://fauna.jbrj.gov.br 20 1336 133, 1251 125, 82.3 (82. 1020 0 102, 7.69 (7.6 110 11, 3,5 35 (3, 2,2 22 (2, 1,8 18 (1, 1,4 14 4 ( 82.

Resumo As fucosiltransferases são enzimas que catalisam a transferência de resíduos de L-fucose de um substrato doador para uma molécula receptora. Essas enzimas são codificadas por genes chamados FUTs (FUT1 a FUT-11) e POFUT1 e 2. Alterações na expressão de FUTs na fucosilação desempenham um papel importante no desenvolvimento do câncer e malignidade. Esta revisão explora alguns aspectos bioquímicos e funções biológicas das FUTs e suas contribuições no câncer. Em uma perspectiva ampla, as FUTs contribuem na tumorigênese, sobrevivência e metástase do câncer. Interações entre glicanos fucosilados e uma variedade de outras moléculas associadas ao câncer, como E-selectinas e receptor do fator de crescimento epidérmico (EGFR), apresentam vias alternativas para o desenvolvimento do câncer. Esta revisão também enfoca o fato de que as FUTs são potenciais biomarcadores para o prognóstico e diagnóstico do câncer, além de sua aplicação como alvos terapêuticos.

Abstract Fucosyltransferases are enzymes that transfer L-fucose residues from a donor substrate to target molecules. These enzymes are encoded by genes known as FUTs (FUT1 to FUT-11), along with POFUT1 and 2. Changes in FUT expression have a significant role in cancer development and malignancy. This review delves into the biochemistry and biological functions of FUTs and their contributions to cancer. Broadly, FUTs play roles in cancer tumorigenesis, survival, and metastasis. Interactions between fucosylated glycans and various molecules associated with cancer, such as E-selectins and the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), offer alternative pathways for cancer development. The review also highlights FUTs as potential biomarkers for cancer prognosis and diagnosis, along with their application as targets for therapy.

This study investigates the potential of Morita-Baylis-Hillman adducts derived from carvacrol as anticancer agents. The synthesis process, involving the reaction of aromatic aldehydes with carvacrol acrylate as a Michael acceptor, resulted in stable adducts with impressive yields ranging from 60 to 92%, achieved within a maximum reaction time of 24 h. Through a screening process utilizing 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) test, compound 6, identified as the acrylate/2-naphthyl adduct, emerged as the most active within the series among twelve compounds tested. Specifically, compound 6 exhibited a remarkably potent impact on neuroblastoma cell lines, particularly SH-SY5Y cells, with half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) of 8.7 µM after 72 h (42 times more potent than carvacrol, IC50 = 374.1 μM). The exploration of the selectivity index (SI) against normal cell lines demonstrated an outstanding SI of 4.28 compared to other compounds. Mechanistic studies on SH-SY5Y cells revealed a concentration-dependent apoptotic effect attributed to caspase 3/7 activation. In silico modeling showcased favorable pharmacokinetic properties for compound 6, including effective absorption after oral administration. Assessment of toxicity of compound 6 profile using brine shrimp and the Irwin test indicated low toxicity, highlighting its potential for future anticancer agent development.

Resumo O gênero Trichosporon é atualmente reconhecido como patógeno oportunista capaz de causar infecções superficiais por "piedra branca" e doenças invasivas potencialmente fatais (Tricosporonose). Neste trabalho foi determinado o agente Trichosporon spp. isolados da pele e anexos de um grupo populacional masculino na região Centro-Oeste do Brasil. Os isolados foram analisados por métodos fenotípicos, bioquímicos e moleculares. Foram isoladas 25 cepas de Trichosporon: T. asahii (18; 72%), seguida de T. inkin (4; 16%) e T. faecale (3; 12%). As infecções de pele foram as mais acometidas (16; 64%) e a região genitocrural (13; 52%) foi a mais acometida. A maior taxa de isolamento ocorreu entre as idades de 21 e 30 anos (9; 36%), sendo os homens negros (afrodescendentes) (13; 52%) os mais acometidos por esse tipo de infecção superficial. Após o advento das técnicas moleculares, mais de 50 subespécies e cerca de 16 cepas diferentes foram relatadas como causadoras de doenças humanas. Nesta série foram destacadas três espécies do gênero Trichosporon de importância médica, colonizando a região genital e perigenital da população estudada. Para as identificações foram realizados métodos fenotípicos clássicos associados à identificação genotípica, utilizando técnicas moleculares baseadas no estudo do DNA; usando análise de sequência da região espaçadora intergênica 1 do DNA (IGS1). piedra branca Tricosporonose.

Abstract The genus Trichosporon are currently recognized as opportunistic pathogens capable of causing superficial "white piedra" infections and potentially fatal invasive diseases (Trichosporonosis). In this work, determine the agent Trichosporon spp. isolated from the skin and appendages of a male population group in the Central-West region of Brazil. The isolates were analyzed by phenotypic, biochemical and molecular methods. Twenty-five strains of Trichosporon were isolated: T. asahii (18; 72%), followed by T. inkin (4; 16%) and T. faecale (3; 12%). Skin infections were the most affected (16; 64%) and the genitocrural region (13; 52%) was the most affected. The highest rate of isolation occurred between the ages of 21 and 30 years (9; 36%), with black men (African descent) (13; 52%) being the most affected by this type of superficial infection. After the advent of molecular techniques, more than 50 subspecies and about 16 different strains have been reported to cause human disease. In this series, three species of the genus Trichosporon of medical importance were highlighted, colonizing the genital and perigenital region of the studied population. For the identifications, classical phenotypic methods associated with genotypic identification were carried out, using molecular techniques based on the study of DNA; using sequence analysis of the DNA intergenic spacer region 1 (IGS1). white piedra Trichosporonosis.

Arthropod-borne viruses (arboviruses) are a severe public health problem worldwide, consisting of a significant part of all the emerging infectious diseases. It is estimated that arboviruses infect hundreds of millions of people globally each year, resulting in several thousand deaths. Despite their clear health threat, there are no prophylactic or pharmacological therapies available for most of them. Control of arbovirus infections is beyond pharmacological options; handling the larvae of mosquitos is an important and successful strategy, although currently available insecticides and larvicides are already associated with resistance. Therefore, searching for new strategies to prevent arbovirus infection is urgent and necessary. Marine organisms are an excellent source for structurally novel compounds due to their unique secondary metabolism, with outstanding antiviral and larvicidal activities. In the present review, we explored the ability of various marine natural products (MNPs) such as indole derivatives, diketopiperazines, scequinadoline A, cyclohexadepsipeptides, and others, to act as both antiviral and larvicidal, in an attempt to highlight their structure activity potential against the most relevant arboviruses affecting the human health.

Resumo O glifosato é um herbicida comumente utilizado na agricultura para o controle de ervas daninhas, contudo, a produção agrícola atual demanda quantidades gigantescas deste produto, que são aplicadas por pulverizações terrestres ou aéreas, que acompanhadas de correntes aéreas, promovem a deriva do glifosato para áreas vegetacionais ou urbanas. Neste contexto, nós levantamos a hipótese de que os líquens Parmotrema tinctorum e Usnea barbata pudessem ser sensíveis à ação do glifosato e, portanto, bioindicar a presença deste herbicida em áreas afetadas por deriva. Como os organismos vivos respondem de diferentes formas à ação dos herbicidas, nosso interesse foi também de indicar marcadores biológicos responsivos à ação do glifosato, por meio de concentrações e tempos de exposição dos talos, além de identificar a espécie mais sensível. Para isso, nós avaliamos o efeito de diferentes concentrações (0.0, 4.8, 9.6 e 19.2 mg L-1) e tempos de aexposição (24, 48 e 72 horas) ao glifosato, sobre a morfoanatomia, vitalidade do fotobionte, eficiência fotossintética e metabolismo oxidativo dos talos. Nós verificamos que os liquens P. tinctorum e U. barbata respondem ao estresse por glifosato, com perspectivas para serem utilizados no biomonitoramento da dispersão de poluentes a partir de áreas de plantio. Contudo, para o uso de P. tinctorum como bioindicador, a morfoanatomia liquênica, a vitalidade do fotobionte e a concentração de pigmentos fotossintéticos consistiram em biomarcadores eficientes para o efeito de concentração e tempo de exposição. Para U. barbata, a morfoanatomia liquênica, bem como a atividade das enzimas SOD e APX constituíram ferramentas importantes para evidenciar a ação do herbicida. A espécie P. tinctotum, contudo, foi caracterizada como mais sensível, sendo indicada para bioindicar a presença deste herbicida e para diagnosticar a qualidade do ar em áreas urbanas ou fragmentos vegetacionais imersos em matrizes agrícolas. daninhas contudo produto aéreas contexto portanto herbicidas talos sensível isso 0.0, 00 0 (0.0 4 8 4.8 96 9 6 9. 192 19 2 19.

Abstract Glyphosate is a herbicide commonly used in agriculture for weed control. Current agricultural production demands vast amounts of this product, which are applied by ground or aerial spraying. The concomitant aerial currents promote glyphosate drift to vegetated or urban areas. In this context, we hypothesized that the lichens, Parmotrema tinctorum and Usnea barbata, could be sensitive to the action of glyphosate and therefore be used to bio-indicate the presence of this herbicide in areas affected by drift. Since living organisms respond in different ways to the action of herbicides, our interest was also to indicate biological markers responsive to the action of glyphosate, through concentrations and exposure times of the thallus, besides identifying the most sensitive species. We evaluated the effect of different concentrations (0.0, 4.8, 9.6, and 19.2 mg L-1) and exposure times (24, 48, and 72 hours) to glyphosate on the morphoanatomy, photobiont vitality, photosynthetic efficiency, and oxidative metabolism of the thalli. We found that the lichens, P. tinctorum and U. barbata, respond to glyphosate stress, with prospects for use in the biomonitoring of pollutant dispersal from plantation areas. When using P. tinctorum as a bioindicator, lichen morphoanatomy, photobiont vitality, and photosynthetic pigment concentration were efficient biomarkers for the effect of concentration and exposure time. For U. barbata, the lichenic morphoanatomy and the activity of SOD and APX enzymes were essential tools to indicate the herbicide action. Parmotrema tinctotum, however, was characterized as more sensitive in bio-indicating the presence of this herbicide to diagnose the air quality in urban areas or vegetation sectors adjacent to agricultural environments. control product spraying context lichens barbata bioindicate bio herbicides thallus species 0.0, 00 0 (0.0 48 4 8 4.8 96 9 6 9.6 192 19 2 19.

Resumo A produtividade do milho, o estado nutricional e a concentração de fumonisinas no grão foram avaliadas em diferentes genótipos, doses e fontes de nitrogênio (N) em dois anos e três localidades. Foram conduzidos dois experimentos em cada localidade e ano, em delineamento experimental de parcela subdividida com quatro repetições. Um experimento envolveu um tratamento fatorial 4x2: quatro doses de nitrogênio (N) (0, 80, 160 e 240 kg ha-1) em cobertura, tendo uréia como fonte de N e dois genótipos de milho. Outro experimento envolveu um tratamento fatorial 4x2, sendo quatro fontes de N: uréia, uréia recoberta com polímero, nitrato de amônio e nitrato de amônio + urea (URAN), na dose de 160 kg ha-1, em dois genótipos. O genótipo do milho influenciou o rendimento, mais do que as doses e fontes de N, principalmente devido à tolerância ao enfezamento do milho AG7098 PRO2 e AG8677 PRO2. As doses de N aumentaram linearmente o teor foliar de N. No entanto, as fontes de N não afetaram o teor de N foliar. As doses e fontes de N não tiveram efeito significativo sobre o teor de fumonisinas, que foi afetado apenas pelos genótipos em Sete Lagoas em 2016 (experimento de doses N) e 2017 (experimento de fontes N). Os híbridos, P3630H e AG8677PRO2 (Sete Lagoas, 2016, experimento de doses de N e 2017, experimento de fontes de N, respectivamente) ultrapassaram o Limite Máximo de Tolerância permitida pela legislação brasileira para fumonisinas em grãos de milho, que é de 5.000 µg kg-1. O melhor resultado foi obtido com AG7098 PRO2, com produtividade (acima de 10.000 kg ha-1) e fumonisinas consistentemente abaixo de 5.000 µg kg-1. Portanto, a seleção de híbridos de milho é uma estratégia para reduzir a ocorrência de fumonisinas nos grãos.

Abstract The maize yield, nutritional status, and grain fumonisins concentration were evaluated in different genotypes, doses, and nitrogen sources (N) in two years and three locations. Two experiments were carried out in each area and year in an experimental design of a subdivided plot with four replications. One experiment involved a 4x2 factorial treatment: four nitrogen (N) doses (0, 80, 160, and 240 kg ha-1) in coverage and having urea as a source of N and two genotypes. Another experiment involved a 4x2 factorial treatment: four N sources: urea, urea covered with polymer, ammonium nitrate, and ammonium nitrate + urea (UAN), at a dose of 160 kg ha-1, in two genotypes. The genotype generally influenced maize yield more than N doses and sources, mainly due to the bushy stunt/corn stunt tolerance of AG7098 PRO2 and AG8677 PRO2. The N doses linearly increased the N leaf content. However, the N sources did not affect the N leaf content. The N doses and sources had no significant effect on the content of fumonisins, which was affected only by the genotypes in Sete Lagoas in 2016 (N doses experiment) and 2017 (N sources experiment). The hybrids, P3630H and AG8677PRO2 (Sete Lagoas, 2016, N doses experiment and 2017, N sources experiment, respectively) exceeded the Brazilian legislation for Maximum Tolerance Limit for fumonisins in corn grains, which is 5,000 µg kg-1. The best result was obtained with AG7098 PRO2, with yields (above 10,000 kg ha-1) and fumonisins consistently below 5,000 µg kg-1. Therefore, the selection of corn hybrids is a strategy to reduce the occurrence of fumonisins in the grains. status locations replications x 4x treatment 0, 0 (0 80 24 ha1 ha 1 ha-1 polymer UAN, UAN , (UAN) 16 ha1, 1, stuntcorn AG AG709 PRO AG867 However 201 experiment. .

Resumo A poliploidia, uma alteração numérica do cariótipo, é um dos mecanismos mais importantes na especiação e diversificação das plantas, mas também pode ser detectada entre populações, os citótipos. Por exemplo, Psidium cattleyanum, um complexo poliplóide, tem números de cromossomos que variam de 2n=3x=33 a 2n=12x=132. A poliploidização causa um aumento no conteúdo de DNA, e ambas as modificações podem alterar o crescimento, a fisiologia e a epigenética da planta. Com base nessa possibilidade, objetivamos verificar a influência da poliploidização na produção de quimiotipos de óleo essencial de P. cattleyanum. Diferenças nos conteúdos de DNA, representando diferentes ploidias, foram observadas e três quimiotipos distintos foram identificados através da análise do perfil cromatográfico. O conteúdo de DNA de Psidium cattleyanum e as características qualitativas e quantitativas dos óleos essenciais apresentaram correlação positiva. Plantas com maiores conteúdos de DNA apresentaram maiores rendimentos na produção de óleo, que era majoritariamente composto por sesquiterpenos hidrogenados, enquanto plantas com menores conteúdos de DNA produziram menores quantidade de óleo, que era majoritariamente composto por monoterpenos hidrogenados. Com base na importância dos óleos essenciais, plantas poliplóides, que apresentam maiores conteúdos de DNA, são recomendadas como possíveis matrizes para a propagação de novas plantas com potencial para produzir compostos importantes de interesse agronômico e farmacológico.
Abstract Polyploidy, a numerical alteration of the karyotype, is one of the most important mechanisms in plant speciation and diversification, but could also be detected among populations, the cytotypes. For example, Psidium cattleyanum, a polyploid complex, has chromosome numbers ranging from 2n=3x=33 to 2n=12x=132. Polyploidization causes an increase in DNA content, and both modifications may cause alteration in plant growth, physiology, and epigenetics. Based on this possibility, here we aim to verify the influence of the polyploidization on the production of P. cattleyanum essential oil chemotypes. Differences in the DNA contents, as a proxy to different ploidies, were observed and three distinct chemotypes were identified through the chromatographic profile analysis. The Psidium cattleyanum DNA content and qualitative and quantitative characteristics of the essential oils presented a positive relationship. Plants with higher DNA contents presented higher levels of oil production, which was mostly composed of hydrogenated sesquiterpenes, while plants with lower DNA contents produced lower amount of oil, which was mostly composed of hydrogenated monoterpenes. Based on the importance of essential oils, polyploid plants, which present higher DNA content, are recommended as possible matrices for the propagation of new plants with the potential to produce major compounds of agronomic and pharmacological interest.

Resumo A fim de compreender as mudanças intraespecíficas que ocorrem na madeira da seringueira de São Paulo e do Paraná (Brasil), a distribuição e a composição química dos cristais foram investigadas por meio de análises morfológicas e químicas por microscopia eletrônica de varredura e espectrometria de raios-X por dispersão de energia, respectivamente. Cristais de oxalato de cálcio foram frequentemente encontrados nos vasos e nas células do parênquima em ambos os locais. Os resultados deste estudo sugerem que os cristais podem estar associados ao início do crescimento, além disso, destaca-se a necessidade de realizar investigações sobre os nutrientes do solo para comparar com o conteúdo de cristal encontrado na madeira de Hevea brasiliensis.
Abstract In order to understand the intraspecific changes that occur in the rubber tree wood from São Paulo and Paraná (Brazil), the distribution and the chemical composition of crystals were investigated by morphological and chemical analyses using scanning electron microscopy and energy-dispersive X-ray spectrometry, respectively. Prismatic calcium oxalate crystals were frequently found in vessels and in parenchyma cells of both sites. The findings of this study suggest that crystals may be associated with the beginning of growth and also highlights the need for further investigations about soil nutrient to compare with crystal content found in Hevea brasiliensis wood.

This work presents the electrochemical treatment of wastewater of biodiesel production, using DSA based on IrO2 and Nb2O5. The anode was prepared by modified Pechini method and characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD), in order to evaluate structural and morphological properties and by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, cyclic voltammetry and accelerated stability test to investigate the electrochemical behavior. The SEM image shows the typical mud-cracked layer. By the XRD measurements, the oxides onto the support were crystallized as tetragonal IrO2 and hexagonal Nb2O5. The amount of glycerin and methanol in the wastewater were 1.60 and 0.31% (w/w), respectively. The electrochemical treatment of the wastewater was evaluated by electrolysis at different current densities and time. The total organic carbon (TOC) and UV-Vis spectra were performed during the electrolysis. The UV-Vis spectra obtained during the electrolysis at 100 and 150 mA cm-2, shows the disappearance of an absorption band at 264 nm and the appearance of one at 290 nm, which the absorption increases as current and the time of the electrolysis increases. The electrochemical treatment with the proposed DSA leads to 80% of removal of TOC by electrolysis at 150 mA cm-2 during the first 6 hours of the electrochemical treatment.
