(Fabaceae) em Três Barras, Paraná RESUMO - Com o objetivo de conhecer os insetos associados às sementes de uma espécie de leguminosa nativa do Brasil, Lonchocarpus muehlbergianus Hassl., frutos foram coletados de árvores isoladas no Município de Três Barras, Paraná, Brasil. Uma amostra de 500 g de frutos com 2353 sementes foi avaliada em laboratório. Foram registradas 77,4% de sementes não danificadas por insetos, 12,4% de sementes danificadas e 10,2% de sementes chochas. A espécie de Bruchidae Ctenocolum crotonae (Fåhraeus) foi detectada pela primeira vez nessa planta. Esta espécie já havia sido registrada no estado do Mato Grosso, Brasil, e neste trabalho, sua distribuição geográfica é ampliada para o estado do Paraná. Horismenus missouriensis Ashmead (Hymenoptera: Eulophidae) também foi observada na amostra e provavelmente é um parasitóide da larva ou pupa do bruquídeo. Do total de 2353 sementes, 4,9% foram danificadas por C. crotonae e 4,6% apresentavam orifícios de emergência de H. missouriensis. Larvas de Tenebrionidae e Curculionidae foram detectadas predando as sementes e representaram um dano de 2,8% do número total de sementes. PALAVRAS-CHAVE: Bruchidae, Coleoptera, Hymenoptera, sementes danificadas. -

The species were characterized as zoochorous, anemochorous and autochorous. Out of 15,258 individuals, 87 % showed zoochory as a mode of dispersal, accounting for 68.1 % of the total species encountered. A test of independence between leaf habit (evergreen/deciduous) and dispersal modes showed that more than the expected number of evergreen species was zoochorous. The cumulative disturbance index (CDI) was significantly negatively correlated with zoochory (P < 0.05); on the other hand no specific trend of anemochory with disturbance was seen. The pre-monsoon period (February to May) was found to be the peak period for fruiting of around 64 % of species irrespective of their dispersal mode. -
(2019) the Miracle of the Brazil
u 5 The Miracle of the Brazilian Cerrados as a Juggernaut: Soil, Science, and National Culture Claiton Marcio da Silva1 Everywhere, long-term economic trajectories, the ebb and flow of political power, the waxing and waning of populations, rested on the successful management of soil nutrients. For want of nitrogen, many a kingdom was lost. –McNeil and Winiwarter, Soils and Societies The Brazilian Cerrados are considered by agribusiness as the last agricultural frontier before the Amazon rainforest, covering nearly one-fourth of the coun- try’s territory, whose accelerated transformation at the end of the twentieth century by the allied forces of business and science has been unique. From a semi-arid savannah, it was turned into a fertile agricultural land, but this miracle has not occurred without externalities. The history of the Cerrado bi- ome fertilization contains fundamental lessons for cultural and environmental protection, as well as a singular context for environmental cultural studies (ECS), due to the strong impact of agriculture over biological and social di- versity, which I will later conceptualize as biocultural diversity, and which, in terms of speed, reach, and scale, may have been rarely observed previously in human history. Yet its history obtained less attention by environmental and social sciences when compared with other Brazilian biomes, such as the At- lantic Forest.2 Prior to World War II, when Brazilian farmers and governments consid- ered Cerrado lands to be infertile and unsuitable for large-scale agriculture, Environmental Cultural Studies Through Time: The Luso-Hispanic World Hispanic Issues On Line 24 (2019) DA SILVA u 99 ranchers’, small farmers’, and indigenous people’s economies were based on mining, cattle breeding, and subsistence agriculture. -
Ethnomedicinal Plants Used in Maharashtra for Treatment of Various Diseases and Disorders Vishal G Beldar*, Parin S Sidat Email: [email protected] Abstract
Research ArticleBeldar V G, et al: Ethno-medicinal Plants used in Maharashtra Ethnomedicinal Plants used in Maharashtra for Treatment of Various Diseases and Disorders Vishal G Beldar*, Parin S Sidat Email: [email protected] Abstract Abstract Since human civilization, people have been dependent on nature for their daily needs, and chiefly on plants as a source of medicine. This reliance lead to the development of an exclusive system of knowledge known as ethnobotany, which consists of the relationship between plants and their use for various diseases and disorders by the trial and error method. The current review study is an attempt to gather the ethnomedicinal plants used in Maharashtra to treat multiple diseases and disorders. From various revealing literature sources, information has been compiled, mentioning the plant’s family, parts used, method of preparation, etc. In Maharashtra, around 417 plant species belonging to 101 families have been used for primary healthcare. Plants from families like Acanthaceae, Asteraceae, Caesalpiniaceae, Cucurbitaceae, Euphorbiaceae, Fabaceae, Lamiaceae, Liliaceae, Malvaceae, and Poaceae were most frequently utilized in Maharashtra. The people of Maharashtra use these medicinal plants as a single dose or in combination with others. This review article includes 195 medicinal plants form various plant families.

A Phylogeny of Legumes (Leguminosae) Based on Analysis of the Plastid Matk Gene Resolves Many Well-Supported Subclades Within the Family1
American Journal of Botany 91(11): 1846±1862. 2004. A PHYLOGENY OF LEGUMES (LEGUMINOSAE) BASED ON ANALYSIS OF THE PLASTID MATK GENE RESOLVES MANY WELL-SUPPORTED SUBCLADES WITHIN THE FAMILY1 MARTIN F. W OJCIECHOWSKI,2,5 MATT LAVIN,3 AND MICHAEL J. SANDERSON4 2School of Life Sciences, Arizona State University, Tempe, Arizona 85287-4501 USA; 3Department of Plant Sciences, Montana State University, Bozeman, Montana 59717 USA; and 4Section of Evolution and Ecology, University of California, Davis, California 95616 USA Phylogenetic analysis of 330 plastid matK gene sequences, representing 235 genera from 37 of 39 tribes, and four outgroup taxa from eurosids I supports many well-resolved subclades within the Leguminosae. These results are generally consistent with those derived from other plastid sequence data (rbcL and trnL), but show greater resolution and clade support overall. In particular, the monophyly of subfamily Papilionoideae and at least seven major subclades are well-supported by bootstrap and Bayesian credibility values. These subclades are informally recognized as the Cladrastis clade, genistoid sensu lato, dalbergioid sensu lato, mirbelioid, millettioid, and robinioid clades, and the inverted-repeat-lacking clade (IRLC). The genistoid clade is expanded to include genera such as Poecilanthe, Cyclolobium, Bowdichia, and Diplotropis and thus contains the vast majority of papilionoids known to produce quinolizidine alkaloids. The dalbergioid clade is expanded to include the tribe Amorpheae. The mirbelioids include the tribes Bossiaeeae and Mirbelieae, with Hypocalypteae as its sister group. The millettioids comprise two major subclades that roughly correspond to the tribes Millettieae and Phaseoleae and represent the only major papilionoid clade marked by a macromorphological apomorphy, pseu- doracemose in¯orescences. -

POST-HARVEST QUALITY of PEQUI (Caryocar Brasiliense CAMB.) COLLECTED from the PLANT OR AFTER NATURALLY FALLING OFF and SUBJECTED to SLOW and QUICK FREEZING1
1/8 ISSN 0100-2945 http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/0100-29452017768 POST-HARVEST QUALITY OF PEQUI (Caryocar brasiliense CAMB.) COLLECTED FROM THE PLANT OR AFTER NATURALLY FALLING OFF AND SUBJECTED TO SLOW AND QUICK FREEZING1 MARIA NEUDES SOUSA OLIVEIRA2, PAULO SÉRGIO NASCIMENTO LOPES3, MARIA OLÍVIA MERCADANTE-SIMÕES4, EDUARDO GUSMÃO PEREIRA5, LEONARDO MONTEIRO RIBEIRO6 ABSTRACT- Soluble solids (SS), titratable acidity (TA), SS/TA ratio, pH, moisture, soluble sugars (SSU), total reducing sugars (RSU), and non-reducing sugars (NRS) were assessed in the pulp of pequi fruits collected at three ripening stages: from the plant, from the ground after naturally falling off, and collected from the ground three days after naturally falling off. The evaluation was performed after six months of freezer storage both for fruits subjected to quick freezing (liquid nitrogen followed by freezer) and slow freezing (straight into the freezer). The variables assessed were not influenced by the freezing method. The SS, TA, and RSU contents increased with the ripening stage, suggesting that the fruits collected from the plant are still immature and have lower quality than those collected after naturally falling off. Although considered mature when they fall off, fruits consumed three days after naturally falling off have better quality.
