Artigo de Periódico Acesso aberto (Open Access) Ethanol and citric acid improve longevity in Gerbera cv. Mistique(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2019-08) MAIA, Rúbia Kécia Marins; SILVA, Edivan Amaro da; ALVES, Rafael Mateus; MORAIS, Maria Aparecida dos Santos; VIEIRA, Marcos Ribeiro da Silva; SILVA, Luzia Ferreira da; FONSECA, Kelem Silva; SIMÔES, Adriano do Nascimento; SIMÔES, Raquel Ferraz JardimEthanol and citric acid can increase longevity in some cut flowers. However, its use must be extremely careful, with application methods and specific concentrations for each type of cut flower. Thus, the objective was to examine the physico-chemical and physiological changes in Gerbera cv. Mistique cut flowers treated with ethanol (Et) and/or citric acid (CA). Stem were selected and standardized to a length of 35 cm and maintained at 20 ± 2 °C and RH 65 ± 2%, under continuous lighting. The flowers were subjected to two application methods (pulsing for 48 h and maintenance), using different concentrations of Et (4%, 6%, and 8%) and/or CA (100 and 200 mg L-1) and distilled water (control). A visual assessment and analyses of longevity, stem bending, fresh mass, relative water content, electrolyte leakage, and peroxidase and polyphenol oxidase enzyme activities were performed at every two days. The Et (4%) + CA (100 mg L-1) solution provided the greatest longevity, regardless of the application method. These results were the basis for a third experiment, in which the stems were immersed in pulsing solutions of Et (4%) and/or CA (100 mg L-1) and distilled water (control). The Gerbera flowers under Et + CA solution showed lower fresh mass loss and electrolyte leakage, higher relative water content and a slower increase in polyphenol oxidase and peroxidase activities. This allowed for delayed stem bending and better appearance, resulting in greater longevity compared to the other solutions.Artigo de Periódico Acesso aberto (Open Access) Genetic parameters and simultaneous selection for root yield, adaptability and stability of cassava genotypes(Empresa Brasileira de Pesquisa Agropecuária, 2013-12) FARIAS NETO, João Tomé de; CUNHA, Elisa Ferreira Moura; RESENDE, Marcos Deon Vilela de; CELESTINO FILHO, Pedro; AUGUSTO, Sebastião GeraldoThe objective of this work was to estimate genetic parameters and to evaluate simultaneous selection for root yield and for adaptability and stability of cassava genotypes. The effects of genotypes were assumed as fixed and random, and the mixed model methodology (REML/Blup) was used to estimate genetic parameters and the harmonic mean of the relative performance of genotypic values (HMRPGV), for simultaneous selection purposes. Ten genotypes were analyzed in a complete randomized block design, with four replicates. The experiment was carried out in the municipalities of Altamira, Santarém, and Santa Luzia do Pará in the state of Pará, Brazil, in the growing seasons of 2009/2010, 2010/2011, and 2011/2012. Roots were harvested 12 months after planting, in all tested locations. Root yield had low coefficients of genotypic variation (4.25%) and broad-sense heritability of individual plots (0.0424), which resulted in low genetic gain. Due to the low genotypic correlation (0.15), genotype classification as to root yield varied according to the environment. Genotypes CPATU 060, CPATU 229, and CPATU 404 stood out as to their yield, adaptability, and stability.
