The current work compared the physiological characteristics of plantain (Musa AAB) plantlets micropropagated in temporary immersion bioreactors (TIB) and on a gelled medium (GM). The plantlets were evaluated during in vitro growth (in the shoot elongation phase) and at the end of ex vitro acclimatization. TIB improved rooting and gave rise to longer shoots and higher dry mass. Respiration rate was the highest a...
Pineapple is one of the most important tropical crops worldwide. The use of Temporary Immersion Bioreactors (TIB) for the first stages of pineapple propagation enables precise control of plant growth, increases the rate of plant multiplication, decreases space, energy and labor requirements for pineapple plants in commercial micropropagation. Once the plantlets are ready to be taken from the reactors, they are ...
Peroxiredoxins (Prxs) play major roles in preventing oxidative damage and their function is consistent with the presence of Prx isoforms in most, if not all, cellular compartments and their expression is dependent on environmental conditions. The aim of this study was to identify and characterize genes encoding Prxs in Vitis vinifera. Quantitative real time polymerase chain reaction (qRT PCR) was used to determ...
Grapevine is an extremely important crop worldwide. In southern Europe, post-flowering phases of the growth cycle can occur under high temperatures, excessive light, and drought conditions at soil and/or atmospheric level. In this study, we subjected greenhouse grown grapevine, variety Aragonez, to two individual abiotic stresses, water deficit stress (WDS), and heat stress (HS). The adaptation of plants to str...
Plantain (Musa ABB CEMSA 3/4) plantlets were micropropagated in temporary immersion bioreactors (TIB) or in gelled medium (GM). After ex vitro transfer ROS accumulation was determined by infiltrating leaves with nitroblue tetrazolium (NBT) and 3,3’-diaminobenzidine (DAB). Stomatal cells were more stained with NBT and DAB in GM plants than in TIB plants, but the difference disappeared at the end of acclimatizati...
Endogenous levels of IAA, IAAsp and IBA were quantified during the first 8 days of in vitro rooting of the chestnut hybrid, clone M3 by high performance liquid chromatography. Rooting was induced either by dipping the basal ends of the shoots into 1 gl-1 IBA solution for 1 minute or by subculturing the shoots on agar rooting medium with 3 mgl-1 IBA for 5 days. For root development the induced shoots were transf...
O enfermeiro, como parte integrante da equipe de saúde, está obrigado a conhecer a responsabilidade que tem na administração de medicamentos como algo importante dentro do conjunto de atividades que realiza. A implantação do sistema de distribuição de medicamentos por dose unitária se reflete diretamente nas atividades dos enfermeiros. Portanto, o objetivo deste trabalho é levantar pontos para reflexão com rela...
Comunicação apresentada no Simpósio de Propagaçao Vegetativa de Espécies Lenhosas que decorreu em Castelo Branco, na Escola Superior Agrária do Instituto Politécnico de Castelo Branco de 18 a 20 de Outubro de 1996. ; Estacas em enraizamento, retiradas de jovens plantas de sobreiro com 7 meses, foram utilizadas na recolha de amostras para acompanhamento anatomo-histológico das modificações estruturais da sua ba...
Comunicação apresentada no Simpósio de Propagação Vegetativa de Plantas Lenhosas que decorreu em Castelo Branco, na Escola Superior Agrária do Instituto Politécnico de Castelo Branco, de 18 a 20 de Outubro de 1996. ; A fase de enraizamento continua a ser um passo chave em todo o processo de micropropagação, podendo de alguma forma condicionar o seu sucesso, com particular destaque para as espécies lenhosas.
