Pre-germinative treatments for red tipa (Pterogyne nitens Tul.) Marta Pece1, Cecilia Gaillard1, Marcia Acosta1, Carlos Bruno2 y Susana Saavedra3 Resumen Con el propósito de acelerar y uniformar la germinación de semillas de tipa colorada, se probaron en laboratorio a 30 ºC tres tratamientos pregerminativos (inmersión en ácido sulfúrico durante 5 y 10 minutos, e imbibición en agua durante 1h 30’) y un testigo, en un diseño completamente aleatorizado con cuatro repeticiones de 25 semillas cada una. Las variables número de semillas germinadas, velocidad germinativa e índice de velocidad de germinación fueron evaluados a los 3, 8 y 11 días después de la siembra. También fueron calculados la energía germinativa y el período de energía. Los resultados señalan que los tratamientos que favorecen la germinación según todos los indicadores considerados son los tratamientos con ácido sulfúrico. Cuando la inmersión es de diez minutos se alcanza el 100% de germinación al quinto día con 88% de energía germinativa obtenida al tercer día de la siembra (período de energía). Los valores de velocidad de germinación e índice de velocidad de germinación para este tratamiento fueron 3.12 días y 8.08 semillas por día respectivamente. Palabras clave: germinación, tratamientos pregerminativos, velocidad de germinación, Pterogyne nitens Tul. Abstract Aiming at accelerating and making germination uniform of seeds of tipa colorada, three pre-germinative treatment at 30 ºC in laboratory (5 and 10 minutes immersion in 95-98% sulphuric acid and one hour and a half immersion in water) and a blank were tried using a completely random design with four replications of 25 seeds each one. The variables number of germinated seeds, germination speed and germination speed index were evaluated at day 3, 8, and 11 after the sowing. Germination energy and energy period were calculated. The results point out that those using sulphuric acid are the treatments that favor germination in accordance with all the indicators considered. In the ten minute immersion tests 100% of germination is reached on the fifth day, with 88% of the germination energy obtained three days after the sowing (energy period). The figures for germination rate and germination rate index for this same treatment were 3.12 days, and 8.08 seeds per day respectively.

En la escarificación química el proceso suele ser llevado a cabo por medio de la inmersión de las semillas en líquidos corrosivos, de los cuales el más usado es el ácido sulfúrico concentrado, Nassif y De Andrade (1997) utilizaron entre otros tratamientos pregerminativos, la inmersión de las semillas durante 2, 5, 10 y 15 minutos concluyendo que la germinación alcanza de 41 a 95% en los primeros diez días. Este tratamiento debe ser llevado a cabo con grandes precauciones debido al alto poder destructivo del ácido, no solo en lo que respecta a la semilla, sino de las personas que lo manipulen.

We combine published molecular data for the chloroplast regions matK and rbcL with 66 morphological characters surveyed for 73 ingroup and two outgroup species, and use Parsimony and Bayesian approaches to explore matrices with different missing data. All combined analyses using Parsimony recovered the topology Polygalaceae (Leguminosae (Quillajaceae + Surianaceae)). Bayesian analyses with matched morphological and molecular sampling recover the same topology, but analyses based on other data recover a different Bayesian topology: ((Polygalaceae + Leguminosae) (Quillajaceae + Surianaceae)). We explore the evolution of floral characters in the context of the more consistent topology: Polygalaceae (Leguminosae (Quillajaceae + Surianaceae)). This reveals synapomorphies for (Leguminosae (Quillajaceae + Suri- anaceae)) as the presence of free filaments and marginal ⁄ ventral placentation, for (Quillajaceae + Surianaceae) as pentamery and apocarpy, and for Leguminosae the presence of an abaxial median sepal and unicarpellate gynoecium. An octamerous androecium is synapomorphic for Polygalaceae. The development of papilionate flowers, and the evolutionary context in which these phenotypes appeared in Leguminosae and Polygalaceae, shows that the morphologies are convergent rather than synapomorphic within Fabales.

  • – 93 – (2) Sawing and Plywood Industries a Total of 384 Sawmills
    (2) Sawing and Plywood Industries A total of 384 sawmills and plywood plants were registered with the SFN in 1999 (Table 4-20). However the actual number is believed to be more than 600 as many small, unregistered plants were also in operation. While the number of sawmills was 16 in the Caaguazu District where the sawing industry is most active, the actual number of sawmills in operation is inferred to be approximately 130.

Source : Registered Sawmills at the SFN (1999) The sawmill size is generally small and few sawmills have drying facilities. In addition to producing a small quantity of final products for local consumption, many sawmills near cutting sites also produce half-processed products for truss, beam, board and flooring for sale to sawmills, wood working shops and furniture factories in such final consumption areas as Asuncion, Caaguazu and Ciudad del Este. Final products, including various construction timber, wooden window frames and furniture, are sold domestically or are exported. The drying of wood still predominantly relies on natural drying. Most export products are also naturally dried as only some facilities exporting their final products have an artificial drying system. – 93 – There are more than 10 sawmills handling logs produced from artificial forests in the Alto Parana and Itapua Districts where relatively many afforestation sites of pine are located.

The samples were collected from 3-different regions of Paraguay. A total of 130 species, 47 families were collected from (i). Botanical Garden and Zoo of Asunción and its surroundings, (ii). 71 species (40 families) from Mbaracayú Natural Reserve and (iii). 38 species (25 families) from the Chaco region. We found the species with high inhibitory potential, such as Cleome aculeata (Cleomaceae), which completely inhibited the germination of lettuce. Others spp. strongly inhibited the growth of lettuce seedlings viz., Strychnos brasiliensis (Loganiaceae), Pterogyne nitens (Fabaceae), Sorocea bonplandii (Moraceae), Rollinia emarginata (Annonaceae), Microstachys hispida (Euphorbiaceae), Prosopis ruscifolia (Fabaceae) and Senna sp. (Fabaceae). These results demonstrated high allelopathic potential of Paraguayan plant species. Key words: Allelopathy, Cleome aculeata, germination, lettuce, Paraguayan plants, Pterogyne nitens, sandwich method, seedling growth, Sorocea bonplandii, Strychnos brasiliensis. INTRODUCTION South America has rich biodiversity and is the centre of origin of several cultivated plants (19,47). Paraguay, also called “the heart of South America” due to its geographical location, also has rich flora and fauna (24,44).

The Published: xx xx xxxx current available therapy for HCV infection is based on interferon-α, ribavirin and the new direct-acting antivirals (DAAs), such as NS3 protease and NS5B polymerase inhibitors. However, the high costs of drug design, severe side efects and HCV resistance presented by the existing treatments demonstrate the need for developing more efcient anti-HCV agents. This study aimed to evaluate the antiviral efects of sorbifolin (1) and pedalitin (2), two favonoids from Pterogyne nitens on the HCV replication cycle. These compounds were investigated for their anti-HCV activities using genotype 2a JFH-1 subgenomic replicons and infectious virus systems. Flavonoids 1 and 2 inhibited virus entry up to 45.0% and 78.7% respectively at non-cytotoxic concentrations. The mechanism of the favonoid 2 block to virus entry was demonstrated to be by both the direct action on virus particles and the interference on the host cells. Alternatively, the favonoid 1 activity was restricted to its virucidal efect. Additionally, no inhibitory efects on HCV replication and release were observed by treating cells with these favonoids. These data are the frst description of 1 and 2 possessing in vitro anti-HCV activity.

    Updates Required to Plant Systematics: A Phylogenetic Approach, Third Edition, as a Result of Recent Publications (Updated June 13, 2014) As necessitated by recent publications, updates to the Third Edition of our textbook will be provided in this document. It is hoped that this list will facilitate the efficient incorporation new systematic information into systematic courses in which our textbook is used. Plant systematics is a dynamic field, and new information on phylogenetic relationships is constantly being published. Thus, it is not surprising that even introductory texts require constant modification in order to stay current. The updates are organized by chapter and page number. Some require only minor changes, as indicated below, while others will require more extensive modifications of the wording in the text or figures, and in such cases we have presented here only a summary of the major points.

Resumo. – Forrageio do periquito-de-testa-vermelha (Aratinga auricapillus) em uma paisagem antropogênica no Brasil. – Muitos psitacídeos são cada vez mais forçados a viver em paisagens antrópicas, onde seus hábitos de forrageamento e papel ecológico são pouco conhecidos. Nós determi- namos a dieta do quase ameaçado e pouco conhecido periquito-de-testa-vermelha (Aratinga auricapil- lus) e examinamos sua ecologia alimentar em uma área modificada pelo homem no Brasil. Ao longo de três anos de observações sistemáticas, nós obtivemos 65 observações de alimentação por 270 periqui- tos, que forragearam em 28 espécies vegetais, 16 delas exóticas. Sementes imaturas e maduras com- puseram 72,3% das observações, sugerindo um importante papel ecológico para este periquito como um predador pré-dispersão de sementes em paisagens antropogênicas. Com base na amplitude de nicho alimentar, no número de espécies de plantas e na composição de plantas, houve clara mudança sazonal no forrageio do periquito, mas disponibilidade de alimento (flores e frutos) não variou entre as estações seca e chuvosa. Nosso estudo demonstra a importância de plantas exóticas cultivadas à per- sistência local do periquito-de-testa-vermelha. No entanto, recomendamos o manejo com plantas ali- mentícias nativas alvo, o que poderia minimizar a exploração de plantas exóticas por este psitacídeo.

Corregido 07-VII-2012. Aceptado 09-VIII-2012. Abstract: Desiccation tolerance in seeds of Prosopis ferox and Pterogyne nitens (Fabaceae). The high number of endemisms and species diversity together with the accelerated biodiversity loss by deforestation, especially in North Western Argentina, points out the need to work on species conservation combining ex situ and in situ strategies. The aim of this work was to study the desiccation tolerance in seeds of P. ferox and P. nitens for long term ex situ conservation at the Germplasm Bank of Native Species (BGEN) of the National University of Salta (Argentina). The fruits were collected from ten individuals in P. ferox at the National Park Los Cardones and from two sites (Orán and Rivadavia) for P. nitens. Desiccation tolerance was assessed following previous established methodologies. The moisture content (MC) of the seeds was determined by keeping them in oven at 103°C and weighting the samples at different intervals till constant weight. Germination essays were carried out with two treatments (control and scarification), with different seed MC (fresh, 10-12%, 3-5%) and in desiccated seeds (3-5% MC) stored six months at -20ºC. The MC in P. ferox seeds was 14.2% and 10% in P.
