RESUMo -o presente trabalho teve por objetivo avaliar o efeito de diferentes concentrações salinas na germinação, produção inicial de biomassa e estresse oxidativo de quatro genótipos de feijão-miúdo de uso comum na região de São José do Norte-RS. As sementes dos genótipos Amendoim, Mosqueado, Baio e Preto foram semeadas em rolos de papel "germitest" embebido em solução de cloreto de sódio nas concentrações de zero, 50, 100, 150 e 200 mM e colocados para germinar a temperatura constante de 25 ºC. os parâmetros avaliados foram: germinação, primeira contagem de germinação, comprimento e massa seca da parte aérea e de raízes das plântulas, peroxidação de lipídios e atividade específica das enzimas antioxidantes superóxido dismutase, ascorbato peroxidase e catalase. o aumento da concentração de sal causou efeito negativo à germinação e primeira contagem das sementes dos quatro genótipos de feijão-miúdo a partir do tratamento com 100 mM de sal. Quanto aos parâmetros de crescimento, a análise conjunta das curvas de regressão, mostrou haver igual tendência para os quatro genótipos, com redução expressiva no crescimento concomitante ao aumento do estresse salino. os efeitos desse estresse também foram evidenciados pelo aumento na peroxidação de lipídios no tratamento com 200 mM de sal, seguido pela menor capacidade antioxidante das enzimas, uma vez que, nas concentrações intermediárias de sal, as enzimas antioxidantes atuaram de forma eficiente na eliminação das espécies reativas de oxigênio (ERos), evitando o estresse oxidativo. Estes resultados permitem concluir que, nas doses intermediárias de sal, houve um bom desenvolvimento inicial para os quatro genótipos de feijão-miúdo, sendo a melhor resposta obtida no genótipo Amendoim.Termos para indexação: Vigna unguiculata L., salinidade, germinação, crescimento e estresse oxidativo. viABiLiTY AND ANTioXiDANT ACTiviTY iN SEEDS oF CoWPEAGENoTYPES SUBMiTTED To SALT STRESSABSTRACT -This study aimed to evaluate the effect of different salt concentrations on the germination, initial biomass and oxidative stress of four cowpea genotypes, commonly grown in the São José do Norte region, RS.

Resumo -O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar aspectos fisiológicos do desenvolvimento de mudas de café, cultivadas sob telas com diferentes características espectrais. Mudas de Catucaí Amarelo 2SL, no estádio "orelha de onça", foram dispostas em blocos ao acaso, com cinco repetições, sob estruturas cobertas individualmente com telas nas cores azul, branca, cinza, preta e vermelha, com sombreamento de 50%. Quatro meses depois, foram avaliados: o crescimento das mudas, os teores de pigmentos nas folhas, e os de açúcares solúveis totais e o amido das folhas e raízes. A tela vermelha foi a mais eficiente em promover o crescimento em quatro das sete características estudadas: altura das plantas, área e massa de matéria seca foliar e massa de matéria seca total. Para as demais características, não houve diferença entre as telas. A análise dos pigmentos mostrou que, à exceção da tela cinza, as demais não diferiram entre si quanto a esta característica. Nas folhas, a tela vermelha proporcionou maior teor de açúcar e de amido. Na raiz, os teores de carboidratos foram mais elevados com as telas vermelha e preta. Entre as cinco colorações de tela, a vermelha foi a mais eficiente na produção de mudas de café com maior vigor e qualidade, em que se destacam os teores de carboidrato e a fitomassa.Termos para indexação: Coffea arabica, carboidratos, crescimento, pigmentos, qualidade da radiação, viveiro. Physiological aspects of seedling development of coffee grown under colored screensAbstract -The objective of this work was to evaluate the physiological aspects of the development of coffee seedlings grown under colored screens with different spectral characteristics. Seedlings of Catucaí Amarelo 2SL, in the stage known as "orelha de onça", were arranged in a randomized block design, with five replicates, under structures individually covered with blue, white, gray, black or red screens with 50% shade. Four months after, evaluations were done for seedling growth, pigment content of the leaves, total soluble sugars and starch contents of the leaves and roots. The red screen was the most effective in promoting growth in four out of the seven studied traits: plant height, leaf area and leaf dry weight and total dry matter. For the other characteristics, there was no difference among the screens. The pigment analysis showed that, except for the gray screen, the other ones did not differ for this trait. In leaves, the red screen promoted higher levels of carbohydrates and starch. At the root, carbohydrate contents were higher under the red and black screens. Among the five screen colors, the red one was the most efficient in the production of coffee seedlings with higher vigor and quality, with outstanding carbohydrate contents and biomass.
Sesbania virgata (Cav.) Pers. is a bush, pioneer and occurs naturally in Brazil. It belongs to the Fabaceae family and it is indicated for recovery of degraded areas because of its rusticity and capacity to tolerate flooding. The present research was carried out to investigate the ability of S. virgata plants to adapt to flooding conditions. Plants containing six expanded leaves were placed in masonry tanks and were subjected to the following conditions: control (well watered), soil-waterlogging (water to the setup level of 1 cm above the soil surface – roots and parts of the stems flooded) and complete submergence (whole plant flooded). The evaluations were conducted on the day of the stress induction and after 7, 14, 21, 28, 35, 42, 49 and 56 days of the treatment. After 15 days of return to normoxic environment, plant survival was assessed. Growth (height, dry mass of shoots and roots), vigour, carbohydrate content and the activity of enzymes involved in anaerobic metabolism (lactate dehydrogenase, pyruvate decarboxylase and alcohol dehydrogenase) were also evaluated. Our results suggested that sesbania plants are tolerant to flooding, because they can survive being submerged for 56 days. The reasons for this tolerance include the accumulation and use of carbohydrates in the leaves and roots, maintenance of growth and the activation of anaerobic metabolism, particularly in steps catalysed by the enzymes pyruvate decarboxylase and alcohol dehydrogenase.
