Canopy analysis was carried out in order to classify the differences between vegetation types at the Szárazvölgy flotation sludge reservoir. Supervised classification methods were used to distinguish 8 vegetation types based on the spectral properties of the area: forest (Quercus sp.), young deciduous forest, reed (Phragmites sp.) and aquatic plants, false indigo (Amorpha fruticosa), Australian...

Objetivou-se desenvolver práticas de Educação Ambiental com alunos do Ensino Fundamental uma escola pública paraense, por meio da confecção um viveiro e produção plantio mudas ipê rosa (Tabebuia sp.) pau preto (Cenostigma tocantinum). A metodologia utilizada baseou-se na pesquisa-ação, abordagem qualitativa, observação no registro fotográfico. Foi observado que é possível resgatar temáticas div...

to understand the compatibility of xylem with dry climates, wood anatomy similarities anddifferences of four shrubs were investigated in dry and cold region of sarab (azarbaijan sharghiprovince). these shrubs were: pteropyrum olivieri, rosa canina, tamarix gallica, and rhamnuspallasii, while the wood anatomy of pteropyrum sp. is reported for the first time, in this research.after preparing micr...

The present paper reports the comparison between a newly isolated strain of S. mansoni in the city of Campinas (SP, Brazil) named SR, with the strains BH (Belo Horizonte, MG, Brazil) and SJ (São José dos Campos, SP, Brazil). The study was done using mice experimentally infected with 70 cercariae from sympatric snails: B. glabrata for the BH strain and B. tenagophila for the SJ and SR strains. T...

Light controls bud burst in many plants, which subsequently affects their architecture. Nevertheless, very little is known about this photomorphogenic process. This study ascertains the effects of light on bud burst and on two of its components, i.e. growth of preformed leaves and meristem organogenesis in six cultivars from three Rosa species (R. hybrida L., R. chinensis L., R. wichurana L.). ...

A collection of four clonal isolates of Podosphaera aphanis was heterothallic and was composed of two mutually exclusive mating types. Cleistothecial initials approximately 20 to 30 microm in diameter were observed within 7 to 14 days after pairing of compatible isolates and developed into morphologically mature ascocarps within 4 weeks after initiation on both potted plants maintained in isola...

Together with longer production periods, the commercial transition to day-neutral strawberry (Fragaria × ananassa) varieties has favored the development of diseases such as powdery mildew (Podosphaera aphanis) that thrives in late summer-early fall. In an attempt to find alternative solutions to fungicides currently employed to curb the disease, we wanted to investigate the potential of silicon...

Precis coenia exhibits a seasonal color polyphenism. Animals reared under long-day conditions develop a pale tan pigmentation on their ventral hind wing (the linea form), whereas animals reared under short-day conditions develop a dark reddish-brown pigmentation (the rosa form). This developmental switch is mediated by a shift in the timing of ecdysteroid secretion at the outset of adult develo...
