Período mínimo de colheita para avaliação de cultivares de cacau em Linhares - ES
(2003-08) DIAS, Luiz Antônio dos Santos; SOUZA, Carlos Alberto Spaggiari; AUGUSTO, Sebastião Geraldo; MÜLLER, Manfred Willy; SIQUEIRA, Paulo Roberto
The minimum harvest period for evaluating cacao cultivars was investigated. 'Maranhão', 'Pará', 'Parazinho' (non-improved local cultivars) and ehte open-pollinated 'ICS 1' and the commercial hybrid mixture (improved cultivars) were evaluated in a 5 x 5 Latin square design containing 196-plant plots, during 10 years (1984-1993). The number of healthy fruits per plant (NHFP) and the wet seed weight per hectare (WSWH) and per fruit (WSWF) were the yield components evaluated. The combination of the first six and eight years of successive harvests for NHFP and WSWH, respectively, was shown to be necessary for cultivar evaluation, when correlation analyses between annual yields and accumulated yield in the decennium were performed. Extensive variability, superior performance in post-climax (1989-1993) and cultivar trends towards interaction with pre-climax age indicated that evaluation of Linhares cacao cultivars should be conducted only after the 8th year from planting.

Elaboração e validação de escala diagramática para avaliação da severidade da ferrugem branca do crisântemo
(Grupo Paulista de Fitopatologia, 2006-03) BARBOSA, Maria Angélica Guimarães; MICHEREFF, Sami Jorge; MORA-AGUILERA, Gustavo
White rust, caused by Puccinia horiana, is considered the major disease of Chrysanthemum in Brazil, which results in severe losses for the growers. Despite of its economic importance, very few epidemiological studies have been carried out in Brazil. In order to conduct these studies it is necessary to develop standard methods to quantify disease severity under field conditions. Therefore, a diagrammatic key, including the levels 1, 3, 6, 10, 18, and 30% of diseased leaf area, was elaborated. The severity of the white rust was estimates using the key or not in order to test its accuracy, precision and reproducibility. The diagrammatic key was validated by 10 raters using 50 leaves with different levels of severity, which were previously measured by the AutoCAD® software. Two evaluations were performed with the key at 7-day intervals when different sequences of the same leaves were visually estimated by the same raters. The accuracy and precision of each rater were determined by using simple linear regression between actual and estimated severity. When the key was not used, all raters overestimated disease severity indicating the presence of constant positive errors for all levels of disease severity. The evaluations using the diagrammatic key were more accurate for the great majority of the raters and more precise for all the raters. In addition, the key also showed good repeatability and high level of reproducibility among the evaluations from the different raters. The diagrammatic key is suitable for the evaluation of severity of white rust of Chrysanthemum.

Sperm depletion: a cost for single mated females of Podisus nigrispinus (Dallas, 1851) (Heteroptera: Pentatomidae)
(2006-11) SOUTO, Leandro Sousa; EVANGELISTA JÚNIOR, Walter Santos; LIMA, Eraldo Rodrigues; ZANUNCIO, José Cola; FONSECA, Marcy das Graças
The aim of this work was to test if egg viability of polyandrous females was increased with increasing number of matings. Longevity and reproductive output of females of the predatory stinkbug Podisus nigrispinus that were allowed to mate for 0, 1, 2, 3 times or were in the continuous presence of the same male was evaluated. Polyandry resulted in diminished sperm depletion. Females that had mated three times or that were in continuous presence of a male produced more offspring than females that mated once or twice throughout their lifetime. There was a negative correlation of mating history on female longevity. Results indicated that remating, either with same male or with different males were crucial for maximization of the reproductive success of females.

Efeito da escarificação e luminosidade na germinação in vitro de sementes de cagaiteira (Eugenia dysenterica DC.)
(2007-12) MARTINOTTO, Cristiano; PAIVA, Renato; SANTOS, Breno Régis; SOARES, Fernanda Pereira; HERRERA, Raírys Cravo; SILVA, Álvaro Augusto Naves
Cagaiteira is a native specie of brazilian cerrado with high yield. Because it seeds show high variability, it is yet considered recalcitrant and dormant, the germination in vitro appears as an alternative for specie propagation, in addition to obtain juvenile explant for micropropagation. The present research aimed to evaluate the effect of scarification and ligth on germination in vitro of cagaiteira seeds. Seeds without teguments and intact seeds were inoculated in MS medium and kept in abscence and presence of radiation. Seeds without tegument germinated in the presence or abscence of ligth showed 86.25% and 88.25% germination at 31 and 71 days of inoculation, respectively. After 150 days of inoculation, plantlets from seeds without tegument germinated in the presence and abscence of ligth, showed 10% and 12% of abnormalities, respectively.

Assessing the genetic structure of Oryza glumaepatula populations with isozyme markers
(2008-10) VEASEY, Elizabeth Ann; CARDIM, Daruska Cavalcante; SILVA, Rainério Meireles da; BRESSAN, Eduardo de Andrade; VENCOVSKY, Roland
To assess the genetic diversity and genetic structure parameters, nine populations of Oryza glumaepatula from the Amazon biome, four from the Pantanal biome, and one collected at Rio Xingu, Mato Grosso, totaling 14 populations and 333 individuals were studied with isozyme markers. Six loci were evaluated showing a moderate allozyme variability (A = 1.21, P = 20.7%, Ho = 0.005, He = 0.060). The populations from the Pantanal biome showed higher diversity levels than the Amazon biome. High genetic differentiation among the populations, expected for self-fertilizing species, was observed (FST=0.763), with lower differentiation found among the Pantanal populations (FST=0.501). The average apparent outcrossing rate was higher for the Pantanal populations (ta = 0.092) than for the Amazonian populations (ta = 0.003), while the average for the 14 populations was 0.047, in accordance with a self-fertilization mating system.

Morfogênese in vitro de nim a partir de explantes cotiledonares
(2009) RODRIGUES, Marcelo; PAIVA, Renato; HERRERA, Raírys Cravo; MARTINOTTO, Cristiano; SILVA JÚNIOR, Jessé Marques
Azadirachta indica A. Juss, popularly known as neem, is a woody species widely used because of its insecticide, fungicide, bactericide, and nematicide properties. Seeds of neem were inoculated in WPM (Wood Plant Medium) containing different concentrations of gibberelic acid (GA3) (0, 3, 6, 9, and 12 mg L-1). After 30 days, cotyledons were inoculated in WPM supplemented with 0.0; 1.0; 2.0 and 3.0 mg L-1 acid 2,4-phenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) and/or 0.0; 1.0; 2.0 and 3.0 mg L-1 6-benzylaminopurine (BAP). The cultures were kept in the dark at 28 ºC. Differentiated calli were evaluated based on their coloration and texture, and three subcultures were carried out on a monthly basis in WPM medium with 2.0 mg L-1 BAP, in the presence of light. Every 30 days, the number of differentiated shoot-buds was evaluated. WPM medium lacking GA3 promoted the highest in vitro seed germination indexes. Cotyledonary-derived explants cultured in WPM medium with 2.0 mg L-1 BAP yielded calli with high morphogenic potential. When those calli were transferred to medium with similar composition, a high shoot formation was achieved up to the third subculture.

Efeito de meios de cultura, concentrações de GA3 e pH sobre a germinação in vitro de mangabeira (Hancornia speciosa Gomes)
(2009) SOARES, Fernanda Pereira; PAIVA, Renato; STEIN, Vanessa Cristina; NERY, Fernanda Carlota; HERRERA, Raírys Cravo; OLIVEIRA, Lenaldo Muniz de
The Hancornia speciosa Gomes species presents potential for fruit and rubber production. Propagation is difficult primarily due, to a reduced seed germination and occurrence of recalcitrant seeds that stimulate the search of rapid and efficient propagation alternatives. In this context, the aim of this work was to study in vitro seed germination conditions in order to produce explants to be used on in vitro culture. The effect of different culture media, sucrose and GA3 concentrations and three pH levels were evaluated. Seeds were extracted from mature fruits after being harvested and processed. Higher in vitro germination was obtained using WPM and MS/2 media supplemented with 15.0 g L-1, 0.2 mg L-1 GA3 and pH adjusted to 5.8.

Composição de espécies de Arctiidae (Lepidoptera) no sul do Brasil: relação entre tipos de vegetação e entre a configuração espacial do hábitat
(2009-06) FERRO, Viviane Gianluppi; TESTON, José Augusto
We describe the beta-diversity pattern of the Arctiidae in Rio Grande do Sul State (RS) and assess whether this pattern is related to similarities in vegetation type or geographic distance among areas. We analysed 9420 specimens in 13 scientific collections, as well as two published checklists. Three hundred twenty nine arctiid species were recorded for 55 localities. This richness corresponded to 5.6% of the Neotropical fauna, and 16.5% of the estimated Brazilian fauna. Fifty two species (15.8%) were recorded for the first time in the state. There was no relationship between beta-diversity (Sorensen distance) and geographic distance among the localities, suggesting that the spatial configuration of the habitat did not influence significantly the locomotion of the Arctiidae moths among landscapes. The multivariate analysis suggested that the Arctiidae fauna differ among vegetation types. The composition of the fauna at the Floresta Ombrófila Mista (Araucaria forest) is very distinct from other vegetation type faunas. Species richness was higher on forest habitats than in open habitats.

Recurso polínico coletado por abelhas sem ferrão (Apidae, Meliponinae) em um fragmento de floresta na região de Manaus - Amazonas
(Instituto Nacional de Pesquisas da Amazônia, 2009-09) OLIVEIRA, Francisco Plácido Magalhães; ABSY, Maria Lúcia; MIRANDA, Izildinha Souza
The objective of this study was to characterize the resources used by Amazonian bees Melipona seminigra merrillae, Melipona fulva, Trigona fulviventris and CephaloTrigona femorata, in an urban Forest patch at Manaus city from March to October 2001. The pollen analysis determined 90 pollen types, distributed in 31 families, 67 genera and 10 palynologycal types unidentified. Trigona fulviventris was the bee species that presented the most diversified pollen types, using 58 sources in that period. The size of pollen types used were distributed as follows: T. fulviventris (58), M.s. merrilae (41), C. femorata (34) and M. fulva (25). Plant species contributing the most for the diet of the bees and presenting the highest frequencies on the pollen samples were Miconia myriantha (12,91%), Leucaena leucocephalla (9,52%), Tapirira guianensis (6,53%), Eugenia stipitata (6,22%), Protium heptaphyllum (6,17%) and Vismia guianensis (5,93%). Generally the bees concentrated their collections on a reduced number of plant species and with a differentiated degree of use for each source. Pollen types with frequency above 10% occurred in a small proportion for most months, being responsible for more than 50% of all the pollen collected every month. Pollen source used varied according to the species, T. fulviventris had a more broad and diversified diet, whereas M. fulva was the bees species that least diversified its diet. T. fulviventris presented higher uniformity on the use of pollen sources and the pollen niches overlap was higher between M.s. merrillae and M. fulva and lower between T. fulviventris and C. femorata.

Diversidade de Arctiinae (Lepidoptera, Arctiidae) em área alterada em Altamira, Amazônia Oriental, Pará, Brasil
(Instituto Nacional de Pesquisas da Amazônia, 2010) TESTON, José Augusto; DELFINA, Márcia Cristina
This work evaluates the Arctiinae fauna in Altamira, Pará, in an area with strong human pressure, using light-traps during two nights at each stage of the new moon each month, from December 2007 to November 2008. The evaluation parameters were: richness, abundance, constancy, diversity index and evenness (Shannon H ‘and E’) and Brillouin (H and E), dominance of Berger-Parker (BP). The richness estimatives were made by means of non-parametric procedures, Bootstrap, Chao 1, Chao 2, Jackknife 1, Jackknife 2 and Michaelis-Mentem. We captured 420 specimens belonging to 64 species of Arctiinae, and 19 species recorded for the first time in the state of Pará. The values of the parameters analyzed for the total period were: H ‘= 4.69; E’ = 0.781; H = 4.37; E = 0.732 and BP = 0.183. During the less rainy season (June-November) we found the most significant values for all parameters. In the rain season (December to May) we found the most significant percentage of similarity. Richness estimators predicted the gathering of more than 18.7% to 60.9% of species.

Micropropagation of Maclura tinctoria L.: an endangered woody species
(2010-02) GOMES, Guilherme Augusto Canella; PAIVA, Renato; HERRERA, Raírys Cravo; PAIVA, Patrícia Duarte de Oliveira
Some native species produce seeds with low germination percentage and in most cases with dormancy, which makes the appearance of new individuals by sexual propagation difficult. The Maclura tinctoria has been considered an endangered species due to the indiscriminate use of its wood and low rate of seed germination. In this context, the objective of the present study was to establish an in vitropropagation methodology for this species. Combinations of NAA + BAP, different concentrations of GA3 and combinations IBA + activated charcoal were evaluated for shoot induction, shoot growth and root formation, respectively. The results indicated that the maximum shoot formation was obtained when 5.37 µM NAA + 4.45 µM BAP was used. The use of >5.48 µM GA3 promoted shoot growth. Root formation was observed on explants inoculated in WPM with a pH adjusted to 7.0 and supplemented with 23.62 µM IBA + 4.7 g L-1 activated charcoal. The use of a 70% light screen for 7 days followed by the use of 50 and 30% light screens also for 7 days each provided 97% plantlet survival.

Planting coconuts in Indian villages: ethnoecological aspects and evaluation of a "sustainable development" project
(2010-03) SALM, Rodolfo Aureliano; FEDER, Lisa; JALLES FILHO, Euphly; JARDIM, Mário Augusto Gonçalves
Although scientists and policy makers embrace the general concept "sustainable development", there are few who agree on how to carry out sustainable development in specific situations. As such, sustainable development projects among ethnoscientists are widely critiqued as to how well they are inter-culturally formulated. Here we report on a controversial case of planting coconuts in Kayapó Indian villages of southern Pará, Brazil and offer our own self-critique. We began under the premise that reforestation and Kayapó general health/nutrition go hand in hand. Therefore, the flourishing of coconut culture will contribute to forest conservation in the long run, in itself, and simultaneously, maintain good nutrition for the Kayapó people who protect the forest from the threat of non-sustainable practices. We take an ethnoecological approach in discovering how Kayapó behavior affects the growth and flourishing of coconut culture when fostered with external supply. We present the results of two field trips to the Kayapó indigenous territory, where we found socio-ecological factors relevant to the success of our project supporting the culture of coconuts in indigenous villages. First, in November 2007, we visited Kikretum, Moikarakô and Aukre villages (among 10 villages which received coconut seedlings from our support program) to deliver a second shipment of coconut seedlings (the first shipment to these villages took place in April 2006) and quantitatively described one aspect of coconut seed-disperser's (the Kayapó's) behavior. We looked specifically at how the pre-existing coconuts palms were distributed among the Indian families, how they distributed last year's shipment, and how that shipment survived due to ethnoecological factors. Second, in July 2008 we visited Kokraimoro and Pykararankre villages and estimated the position of the previously existing and newly planted coconut palms in relation to other cultivated trees by making use of censuses departing from the village center to their outside limits. In the three Indian villages we visited in 2007, virtually all pre-existing coconut trees belonged to a select few families, and the coconut fruit distribution was, in most cases, highly concentrated among these family members. However, assuming that all the coconut saplings that survived the first year will reach maturity (from the first shipment in April 2006), they represent a remarkable increase in the projected number of adult coconut palms in the three visited villages (48, 195 and 101% in Kikretum, Moikarakô and Aukre, respectively), and a substantial reduction in the inequality in access to coconuts. In the 2008 field trip, we found that the Indians usually plant coconuts very close to their houses where competition with other cultivated trees may hinder the palms development.

Genetic diversity of American wild rice species
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2011-08) VEASEY, Elizabeth Ann; BRESSAN, Eduardo de Andrade; ZUCCHI, Maria Imaculada; VENCOVSKY, Roland; CARDIM, Daruska Cavalcante; SILVA, Rainério Meireles da
Studies on genetic diversity and genetic structure of natural populations are important in order to define strategies for in situ and ex situ conservation actions and for plant pre-breeding programs. Aiming to assess the genetic diversity and genetic structure of three wild American Oryza species with isozyme markers, 14 populations of the diploid O. glumaepatula (AglAgl), 11 populations of the tetraploid O. grandiglumis (CCDD) and five populations of the also tetraploid O. latifolia (CCDD) were studied. They were all originated from Rio Paraguay hydrographic basin and the Amazon. Four enzymes were used and they gave 40 polymorphic bands. The most polymorphic species was O. glumaepatula, followed by O. latifolia and O. grandiglumis. A cluster analysis with the Jaccard similarity coefficient separated the diploid from the two tetraploid species, and also the two tetraploid species. This separation was also evident on a scatter plot from a principal component analysis, suggesting that they should be treated as two separate species, although further studies are necessary to provide support for this affirmative. The AMOVA analyses showed a high intrapopulational variability for O. latifolia (67.6%) and O. grandiglumis (52.2%), when compared to their interpopulational variability (32.4% and 47.8%, respectively), which suggests the hypothesis of a higher degree of outcrossing events within these species. When studying the correlation between the Jaccard dissimilarity coefficient and geographic distances, a spatial genetic structure was observed for O. glumaepatula only. These results are important for defining strategies of both in situ and ex situ conservation.

Abundância e diversidade de palmeiras no Distrito Florestal Sustentável da rodovia BR-163, Pará, Brasil
(2011-09) SALM, Rodolfo Aureliano; JARDIM, Mário Augusto Gonçalves; ALBERNAZ, Ana Luisa Kerti Mangabeira
The abundance and diversity of palm species, as well as its relationship with forest structure were investigated in two study areas in the Sustainable Forest District of the BR-163 road. As such, forty parcels of 0.04 ha (20 × 20 m) were established in a pristine forest in the Amazonia National Park, and another forty parcels in a area submitted to timber logging in the Tapajos National Forest. In each parcel, all the trees with DBH ≥ 10 cm were measured and the adult palms were identified and counted. We verified that although the exploited forest of the Tapajos National Forest is structurally more open than the forest in the national park, it still has a quantity and diversity of palms inferior to the national park, probably due to the dispersal limitation of palms and the relatively recent logging activities. We concluded that exploitation potential of palms in native forests of the region is extremely limited by the natural scarcity of palms in native forests of economic potential, but could be amplified with the deliberate planting of useful species, with benefits for the natural dynamics of the forest.

Abundância, composição e diversidade de Arctiinae (Lepidoptera, Arctiidae) em um fragmento de floresta na Amazônia Oriental em Altamira, PA, Brasil
(Instituto Nacional de Pesquisas da Amazônia, 2012-03) TESTON, José Augusto; NOVAES, Jessé Bucioli; ALMEIDA JÚNIOR, José Otávio Barros
This study evaluated the Arctiinae fauna in a fragment of primary forest in Altamira, Pará, Eastern Amazonia, Brazil. The moths were sampled during two years (from August 2007 to July 2009) with a light trap. The following parameters were measured: richness, abundance, constancy, diversity and evenness indices (Shannon H ‘and E') and Brillouin (H and E), and dominance index of Berger-Parker (BP). The richness estimatives were made by nonparametric procedures, Bootstrap, Chao 1, Chao 2, Jackknife 1, Jackknife2 and Michaelis-Mentem. Four hundred and sixty-six individuals of 78 species of Arctiinae were captured, of which twelve are new records for Pará State. Values of parameters analyzed for the entire period were: H ‘= 3.08, E' = 0.708, H = 2.86, E = 0.705, and Sp = 0.294. Communities of the less rainy months were more diverse. Estimators predicted an increase between 17 to 253 in species richness.

The objective of this work was to assess the genetic diversity between and within progenies of dura type oil palm from Deli. Genetic characterization was performed with microsatellite markers on 24 oil palm progenies used in commercial seed production, of which 22 originated from self-fertilization and two from cross-fertilization between full siblings. Molecular analysis of variance was carried out among and within progenies, and a dendrogram was constructed. Low genetic variability was observed within progenies, with an average of 1.32 alleles per locus and total variance of 0.3241. Most of the variation was found between progenies. The lower genetic variability within progenies can be explored in crossings with endogamic progenies from other origins, which would facilitate heterosis in order to develop new varieties.

Da escola campeã ao programa Rede Vencer: um olhar sobre suas repercussões na gestão e na organização curricular e pedagógica da educação municipal em Altamira-Pará
(Universidade Federal da Grande Dourados, 2012-08) MILÉO, Irlanda do Socorro de Oliveira; CHIZZOTTI, Antonio
Concerning discussions about the administration of education in the Champion school program, now called the Network Wins program, this article intends to reflect on the administration of this educational policy for the society of Altamira, meaning to analyze if the strategies adopted by the SEMEC make possible not only an improvement in the quality of local education, but also the participation in this program of the students, teachers, directors, parents and the local community in its establishment and implementation during the period from 2001 to 2005 in the city of Altamira. This study was centered on qualitative research (CHIZZOTTI, 2006) and on some principles of the analysis of discussion, theoretic support obtained from authors such as Oliveira (2002, 2004), Ferreira (2004), Paro (1998, 2001), Lima (2001). This research showed that the centralized character of the manner of administration of this policy favored a rational/bureaucratic model, founded in the control of the results of performance, and also favored a concentration of decisions with the SEMEC and the Municipal government itself, consequently distancing itself from participation by the schools themselves and from society.
