RESUMO

Studies on the germination and establishment of plants are key pieces to understanding the reproductive success of plants. This work aimed to describe in vitro germination and reserve mobilization in the bromeliad Vriesea friburgensis through morphological, histochemical, and biochemical analysis. The conditions used in this study for the in vitro germination are adequate. From the third day of in vitro inoculation, a uniform germination of 98% was obtained, exhibiting a high physiological quality of the seeds and a high potential to produce seedlings (94%). There is early reserve mobilization, which began in the imbibition phase. The accumulated reserves in the endosperm cytoplasm are degraded by hydrolytic enzymes provided by the aleurone layer. It is possible that compounds in the cell walls of the endosperm contribute to a lesser extent in mobilization. Additionally, it was observed that starch accumulation in the cotyledon increases when the seedling has formed. Results from this study provide insights for future studies on ecology, seed technology, and conservation in this species. This study contributes to the limited knowledge of the dynamics of reserves during germination and seedling establishment in Bromeliaceae. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study with this approach in the genus Vriesea.

Estudos sobre germinação e estabelecimento de plantas são peças-chave para entender o sucesso reprodutivo das plantas. Este trabalho teve como objetivo descrever a germinação in vitro e a mobilização de reservas na bromélia Vriesea friburgensis por meio de análises morfológicas, histoquímicas e bioquímicas. As condições utilizadas neste estudo para a germinação in vitro são adequadas. A partir do terceiro dia de inoculação in vitro, obteve-se germinação uniforme de 98%, apresentando alta qualidade fisiológica das sementes e alto potencial de produção de plântulas (94%). Há uma mobilização precoce de reservas, iniciada na fase de embebição. As reservas acumuladas no citoplasma do endosperma são degradadas por enzimas hidrolíticas fornecidas pela camada de aleurona. É possível que compostos nas paredes celulares do endosperma contribuam em menor grau na mobilização. Além disso, observou-se que o acúmulo de amido no cotilédone aumenta com a formação da plântula. Os resultados deste estudo fornecem informações para estudos futuros sobre ecologia, tecnologia de sementes e conservação desta espécie. Este estudo contribui para o conhecimento limitado da dinâmica das reservas durante a germinação e estabelecimento de plântulas em Bromeliaceae. Até onde sabemos, este é o primeiro estudo com esta abordagem no gênero Vriesea.

RESUMO

Objective. The purpose of this study was to compare the intra-class correlation coefficients (ICC) and design effects (D) estimates adjusted or unadjusted for sensibility (Se) and specificity (Sp) of the diagnostic tests using a Bayesian procedure. Materials and methods. Sera from 232 animals from 44 randomly selected herds, to detect antibodies against parainfluenza-3 virus (PIV3) from non-vaccinated dual-purpose cattle from Colima Mexico, were used. Only 176 animals from 33 herds were used to evaluate the presence of the bovine respiratory syncytial virus (BRSV). Results. The ICC and D values adjusted and unadjusted for PIV3 were 0.33, 2.73, 0.32, and 2.71, respectively. For BRSV the values were 0.31, 2.64, 0.28 and 2.49. Conclusions. The adjusted or unadjusted ICC and D estimates were similar because of the high Se and Sp of the diagnostic tests and the relatively high prevalence of the diseases here studied.

RESUMO

O objetivo deste trabalho foi determinar as variações dos teores de açúcares solúveis totais e de reserva nas diferentes fases de desenvolvimento de mudas de gengibre. Foram avaliados os parâmetros de sobrevivência, teores de açúcares solúveis totais e de reserva na fase de micropropagação, aclimatação e cultivo em campo. A sobrevivência das plantas no processo de aclimatação aos 60 dias foi de 100 por cento, enquanto que as plantas em condições de campo apresentaram um índice de sobrevivência de 80 por cento aos 60 dias de cultivo. Os teores médios de amido, no primeiro ano de cultivo, foram superiores nas plantas micropropagadas, tanto nas folhas (303,19±0,17 mgGlu gMF-1 mgGlu gMF-1) quanto nas raízes (3341,59±1,24 mgGlu gMF-1). Foram observados altos teores médios de amido nos rizomas (164,91±2,4 mgGlu gMF-1) e gemas (190,88±0,25 mgGlu gMF-1). Os teores médios de açúcares solúveis totais apresentaram um decréscimo nas plantas in vitro com valores médios de 86,56±0,55 mgGlug MF-1 e 94,26±0,40 mgGlu gMF-1 para folhas e raízes, respectivamente. Obteve-se um aumento nesses valores nas plantas aclimatadas em casa de vegetação, tanto nas folhas (168,22±0,77 mgGlu gMF-1) quanto nas raízes (189,68±0,70 mgGlu gMF-1), sendo superadas pelos teores médios de folhas e raízes das plantas cultivadas a campo, cujos valores foram 227,51±0,8 e 183,97±0,32 mgGlu gMF-1, respectivamente. No segundo ciclo de cultivo observou-se um aumento nos teores médios de amido nos rizomas, gemas e raízes, com valores de 210,87±0,85 mgGlu gMF-1 , 203,45±0,91 mgGlu gMF-1 e 201 ±0,69 mgGlu gMF-1 e um declínio nos teores médios nas folhas (41,55±0,88 mgGlu gMF-1) com uma queda gradativa até os 240 dias de cultivo. Porém, em relação à quantidade de açúcares solúveis totais as folhas apresentaram-se com teores médios altos no período inicial, com um declínio ao longo do desenvolvimento em casa de vegetação. O oposto foi verificado para as raízes (225,29±0,75 mgGlu gMF-1), rizoma (250,08±0,93 mgG...


The aim of this work was to determine the variations in total soluble sugar and starch levels during the different development stages of ginger seedlings. Survival parameters, as well as total soluble sugar and starch levels, were evaluated during micropropagation, acclimation and field cultivation phases. The survival of plants was 100 percent after 60 days of acclimation, whereas under field conditions such value was 80 percent after the same period. In the first year of cultivation, mean starch levels were higher in micropropagated plants, both in leaves (303.19 ± 0.17 mgGlu gFM-1) and in roots (3341.59 ± 1.24 mg Glu gFM-1). High mean starch levels were detected in rhizomes (164.91 ± 2.4 mg Glu gFM-1) and buds (190.88 ± 0.25 mgGlu gMF-1). The mean levels of total soluble sugars were lower in plants in vitro: 86.56 ± 0.55 mgGlu gFM-1 and 94.26 ± 0.40 mgGlu gFM-1 in leaves and roots, respectively. Higher values were obtained for plants acclimatized in greenhouse, both in leaves (168.22 ± 0.77 mgGlu gFM-1) and roots (189.68 ± 0.70 mgGlu gFM-1); these values were inferior to those detected in leaves and roots of plants grown in the field, which were 227.51 ± 0.8 and 183.97 ± 0.32 mgGlu gFM-1, respectively. In the second cultivation cycle, mean starch levels in rhizomes, buds and roots increased to 210.87 ± 0.85 mgGlu gFM-1, 203.45 ± 0.91 mgGlu gFM-1 and 201 ± 0.69 mgGlu gFM-1, respectively, whereas in leaves these values progressively decreased (41.55 ± 0.88 mgGlu gFM-1) until 240 days of cultivation. However, leaves presented high mean total soluble sugar levels in the initial period, with a posterior decline over the development in greenhouse. The opposite was observed in roots (225.29 ± 0.75 mgGlu gFM-1), rhizomes (250.08 ± 0.93 mgGlu gFM-1) and buds (225.75 ± 0.80 mgGlu gFM-1). Based on the high survival rate of acclimatized plants and the higher levels of total soluble sugars and starch in early stages of cultivation, acclimation is recommended to assure...

RESUMO

To further clarify the protective mechanism(s) of defibrotide in splanchnic artery occlusion (SAO) shock, we observed the effect of defibrotide on polymorphonuclear leukocyte (PMN) accumulation in the intestinal tissue, gastric lysosomal hydrolases and endothelial function of the ischemia-reperfused superior mesenteric artery (SMA). Pentobarbital anesthetized rats were subjected to occlusion of both the celiac and superior mesenteric arteries for 90 min followed by 2 h reperfusion. The rats receiving only the vehicle for defibrotide exhibited a marked increase in intestinal myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity and a significant endothelial dysfunction manifested by the loss of endothelium-dependent vasorelaxation. Only 2 of 6 rats (33%) survived 2 h of reperfusion. In contrast, those rats treated with defibrotide exhibited significantly attenuated PMN accumulation in intestinal tissue, enhanced endothelium-dependent vasorelaxation in SMA rings, prolonged survival time and increased survival rate to 6 of 7 (i.e., 86%). However, addition of defibrotide in vitro had no direct effect on LTB4 activated PMN adherence to vascular endothelium. Moreover, defibrotide preserved gastric lysosomal membranes in vitro. These results indicate that the protective effect of intravenous administration of defibrotide on SAO shock may be related to its endothelial preserving effect reducing PMN adherence and protection of endothelial and lysosomal membrane integrity.
