title: QUALITY OF FUSARIOSIS-RESISTANT PINEAPPLE FRF 632, HARVESTED AT DIFFERENT MATURITY STAGES

description: ABSTRACT The objective of this study was to evaluate the influence of the harvest maturity stages on the physical, chemical and sensorial quality of the pineapple genotype FRF 632. The fruits were harvested in the maturity stages “green-ripe”, “spotted”, “colored” and “yellow” and evaluated regarding fruit and flesh mass; flesh yield; fruit and crown length; diameter of the basal, middle and top fruit sections; flesh color; titratable acididy (TA); translucency; soluble solids (SS); SS/TA ratio; and sensory acceptance of the attributes color, aroma, flavor, texture/firmness, overall acceptance and intensities of the attributes sweetness, acidity and firmness, using the just about right scale. There was no difference for the majority of the physical traits of the fruits at the various harvest maturity stages. The fruits had average mass of about 1,100 g. There was a gradual increase in the content of soluble solids and the SS/TA ratio during ripening. The fruits collected at the “colored” and “yellow” stages had the highest approval percentages and were considered to have ideal sweetness and acidity by the majority of consumers in sensorial tests. However, the preference mapping revealed a greater preference for fruits harvested in the “spotted” and “colored” stages for all the attributes assessed, unlike what was observed in the test of average and approval percentage. Therefore, the physical, chemical and sensorial tests indicate that the fruits harvested in the “colored” maturity stage were most preferred by consumers, since they had high approval percentage, as well as ideal sweetness and acidity.

title: SALT AND CRUDE PLANT EXTRACTS AS PRESERVATIVES IN A MEAT MODEL SYSTEM (GROUND PORK SHOULDER)

description: ABSTRACT Health risks associated with conventional preservatives and the trend of food healthiness have promoted a growing interest in alternatives of food preservation. These include the use of plant preservatives, condiments and their extracts. Using the indicators count of aerobic mesophiles and pH, the objective of this study was to compare the influence of salt content at the proportions of one, two and three parts with that of the addition of crude plant extracts on the time of preservation of a meat model system (600 g of ground pork shoulder). It was considered suitable for human consumption the treatment whose microbiological count of aerobic mesophiles, observed for 15 days, did not exceed 105 CFU/g. The components (salt and extracts) were mixed with the meat using a Stomacher Lab Blender. The treatment with the highest proportion of salt (three parts) remained viable for consumption for 10 days, while treatments with one part remained for four days and those with two parts remained for nine days. Treatments with “macela” or “laurel” did not statistically differ from treatments with one part of salt. The extracts of “hibiscus”, “clove”, “cinnamon” and “nutmeg”, in the plant:volume proportion (10 g:100 mL) tested, maintained the meat model system suitable for consumption until the fifteenth day. The pH of the treatments did not interfere with the shelf life of the meat model system. The results indicate the potential use of these extracts as preservatives in processed meat products.

title: DISCONTINUOUS HYDRATION ON THE GERMINATION OF Mimosa caesalpiniifolia AND Pityrocarpa moniliformis SEEDS UNDER WATER STRESS

description: ABSTRACT The use of discontinuous hydration cycles can act in improving seed germination and seedling initial growth under water stress. In this context, the objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of discontinuous hydration on the germination of Mimosa caesalpiniifolia and Pityrocarpa moniliformis seeds under water stress. For this, seeds of these species were subjected to 0 (without hydration), 2 and 4 hydration cycles (18 h) and dehydration (12 and 18 h, respectively), with subsequent germination under water stress simulated for osmotic potentials of 0.0 (distilled water), -0.2, -0.4, -0.6 and -0.8 MPa. Seedlings were evaluated using tests of germination, germination speed index, mean germination time and seedling length. Discontinuous hydration in M. caesalpiniifolia and P. moniliformis seeds hampers germination and vigor of seedlings under water stress up to -0.6 MPa. However, the use of two cycles in P. moniliformis favors germination under more severe water stress (-0.8 MPa).

title: UNIVARIATE AND MULTIVARIATE APPROACHES IN THE CHARACTERIZATION OF LIMA BEAN GENOTYPES

description: ABSTRACT To estimate the genetic diversity among the genotypes of a germplasm collection, a combined analysis of qualitative and quantitative variables was performed. The objective was to promote the morpho-agronomic characterization and estimate the genetic diversity of lima bean genotypes belonging to the Phaseolus Germplasm Bank of UFPI through univariate and multivariate approaches. The experiment was conducted on a screen house between January and September 2016, using a completely randomized design with four replications, with a plot consisting of a pot with a plant. An analysis of variance of the quantitative characteristics was performed and used to estimate the comparison of means. The combined analysis of the quantitative and qualitative variables was performed based on the Gower distance. Subsequently, the genotypes were grouped by the UPGMA method, from which five groups were formed. The lima bean genotypes showed wide genetic variability in relation to morpho-agronomic characteristics.

title: INTERACTION BETWEEN RESISTANCE INDUCER AND MICRONUTRIENTS ON THE CONTROL OF ROOT-LESION NEMATODE AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF SOYBEAN PLANTS

description: ABSTRACT Root lesion nematodes limit the productivity of several crops of economic importance, requiring alternatives for their management. Resistance inducers activate enzymes involved in defense mechanisms and micronutrients can influence this process by acting as enzymatic cofactors. Thus, the objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of foliar application of a commercial organomineral fertilizer and its association or not with zinc (Zn) and manganese (Mn) micronutrients on the Pratylenchus brachyurus suppression and soybean plant development under greenhouse conditions. Shoots of soybean were treated 10 days after germination and inoculated with 5000 nematodes/plant five days after the treatments, using untreated plants as controls. Treatments consisted of a commercial product based on phosphorylated mannanoligosaccharide derived from the cell wall of Saccharomyces cerevisiae (here coded as MOS), Zn, Mn, MOS+Zn, MOS+Mn or MOS+Zn+Mn. At sixty days after establishment of treatments, the plants were collected and evaluated for vegetative analysis, nematological analysis and nutrient contents. The work was repeated at different times: experiment 1 from November 2016 to January 2017 and experiment 2 from October to November 2017. All treatments were efficient in controlling P. brachyurus in at least one of the evaluated nematological parameters, compared to the control. However, only the plant spraying with MOS+Zn results in significative reduction of the total number of nematodes and the number of P. brachyurus nematodes per gram of soybean root in both experiments. In addition, spraying of plants with Mn increased shoot dry weight and all treatments resulted in higher concentrations of copper, Zn and Mn in soybeans leaves compared to control.

title: INTERVAL BETWEEN SEQUENTIAL HERBICIDE TREATMENTS FOR SOURGRASS MANAGEMENT

description: ABSTRACT More than one herbicide application is usually necessary to manage glyphosate-resistant sourgrass in advanced stages of development efficiently during off-season fallow periods. The objective of this study was to determine the best interval between two sequential applications to control sourgrass, based on the number of days and tiller-height after the first treatment. Two experiments were conducted based on these criteria. Experiment 1 consisted of one application of glyphosate + clethodim (1140 ae ha-1 + 108 g ha-1) followed by glyphosate + clethodim or paraquat (400 g ai ha-1) at an interval of 10, 17, 24, 31, 28, or 45 days. Experiment 2 was conducted with the same herbicide treatments, but using the tiller-height as the criteria for the second application, which were 2-5, 6-10, 11-20, 21-30, and &gt;30 cm. None of the treatments resulted in total sourgrass control during the evaluation period. Overall, treatments with glyphosate + clethodim in the second application were more efficient than paraquat. The most effective interval between sequential applications of glyphosate + clethodim was observed at 17 to 24 days. For paraquat, the best interval for the second application was 6-10 days. The most effective performances based on the tiller-height were found at 620 cm tall for glyphosate + clethodim and 6-10 cm tall for paraquat.

title: LEVELS OF REGIONAL PHENOTYPIC ADAPTATION (QST) INDICATE THAT NEUTRALITY HAS SHAPED THE POPULATION STRUCTURE OF THE SOYBEAN-INFECTING PATHOGEN Rhizoctonia solani AG-1 IA

description: ABSTRACT Populations of the soybean leaf blight pathogen (Rhizoctonia solani AG-1 IA) are highly genetically differentiated along a latitudinal gradient in the major soybean growing regions of Brazil. However, the evolutionary processes leading to regional adaptation are still unknown. The objective of this study was to evaluate the relative importance of neutral genetic variation and natural selection on the divergence and regional adaptation of populations of the soybean-infecting pathogen R. solani AG-1 IA. Therefore, we compared the phenotypic differentiation in quantitative traits (QST) and the neutral genetic differentiation (FST, based on microsatellites data) among three pairs of populations. As measures of phenotypic responses of the fungus (quantitative traits), we estimated the tolerance to temperature stress and the tolerance to a broad-spectrum fungicide (copper oxychloride) under optimal (25 °C) and high temperature conditions (33.5 °C). In general there was an increase in genetic variance with a positive effect on the heritability for tolerance to copper fungicide under temperature stress. The genetic differences among populations were the main determinants of thermal adaptation in R. solani AG-1 IA (h2 &gt; 0.70). The analysis of neutral genetic structure (FST) indicated subdivision between the three pairs of populations. Although population pairwise comparisons between FST and QST values did not follow a single pattern, the majority of QST values did not differ significantly from FST, indicating that, for the quantitative characters studied, neutrality (or neutral evolution) had a major role in the regional adaptation of R. solani AG-1 IA populations.

title: MORPHOLOGICAL AND MORPHOMETRIC CHARACTERIZATION OF PRATYLENCHUS SPECIES IN SUGARCANE CROPPING AREAS OF PERNAMBUCO STATE

description: ABSTRACT The root-lesion nematodes Pratylenchus spp. have a wide geographic distribution and a large number of host plants. These migratory endoparasites are found associated with sugarcane around the world causing diseases that induce permanent losses in productivity. Although this genus has ordinarily been reported in low-producing sugarcane areas in northeastern Brazil, studies of the species occurrence are few and restricted to a very low number of sites and samples. This study aimed to morphologically and morphometrically characterize Pratylenchus species from different sugarcane regions of Pernambuco state, where composite samples of soil and roots were collected on 30 farms from three sugarcane mills. The external morphological characters of the nematode body from different populations had a diagnostic value compatible with those obtained in the literature, showing the dominance of P. zeae (87%) in the region. Atypical populations of the genus Pratylenchus were also found.
