Interações entre o relógio biológico e a sinalização do estado energético em plantas do complexo Saccharum

A cana-de-açúcar e a cana energia são plantas intercruzáveis que compõe o complexo Saccharum. Estas plantas são fonte de biomassa para produção de açúcar, biocombustíveis, eletricidade, entre outros, e utilizam a energia assimilada pela fotossíntese de forma contrastante, ainda que ambas resu...

Biomass and vegetation index by remote sensing in different caatinga forest areas

Ciênc. rural (Online); 52 (2), 2022
Continued unsustainable exploitation of natural resources promotes environmental degradation and threatens the preservation of dry forests around the world. This situation exposes the fragility and the necessity to study landscape transformations. In addition, it is necessary to consider the biomass quan...

Pachira aquatica fruits shells valorization: renewables phenolics through analytical pyrolysis study (Py-GC/MS)

Ciênc. rural (Online); 52 (2), 2022
This research valorized Pachira aquatica Aubl.’s fruit shells (PAS) through its energetic characterization and flash pyrolysis for biofuels or chemicals production. The characterization was performed through proximate and ultimate analysis, bulk density, higher heating value (HHV), hemicellulose, cellu...

Growth analysis, photosynthate partition and nodulation in bean and soybean

Ciênc. rural (Online); 52 (10), 2022
Photoassimilate partition and allocation among plant organs varies throughout their development and is also influenced by factors inherent to the genotype and the environment. Nodulation in the soybean-diazotrophic bacteria interaction is more effective than in the bean-diazotrophic bacteria interaction....

Resumen Introducción: Los bosques y sistemas agroforestales (SAF) suministran bienes y servicios ecosistémicos para la sociedad, tal como la mitigación del cambio climático. Objetivo: Se estimó el potencial de reducción de emisiones y captura de carbono en bosques y SAF con cacao de la subcuenca de...

Development of a chemically defined medium for Planctopirus limnophila to increase biomass production

BACKGROUND Planctomycetes is a phylum of biofilm-forming bacteria with numerous biosynthetic gene clusters, offering a promising source of new bioactive secondary metabolites. However, the current generation of chemically defined media achieves only low biomass yields, hindering research on these specie...

A poluição (intradomiciliar e extradomiciliar) é fator facilitador para o adoecimento pela COVID-19?

A associação positiva entre poluição atmosférica e COVID-19 tem sido confirmada por pesquisadores ao redor do mundo, sobretudo em localidades poluídas. A exposição de longo prazo à poluição atmosférica foi associada a maior gravidade da infecção pelo SARS-CoV-2. As medidas de afastamento so...

Evaluation of the operational conditions in the production and morphology of Chlorella sp

Braz. j. biol; 81 (1), 2021
Abstract It was evaluated the effect of operational conditions in the production of Chlorella sp. after its selection from genus Chlorella sp., Scenedesmus sp., Nannochloris sp., Tetraselmis sp. and Dunaliella salina. Microalgae were inoculated in drinking water with addition of NPK fertilizer (N 24%, P ...

Impact of exposure to smoke from biomass burning in the Amazon rain forest on human health

J. bras. pneumol; 47 (5), 2021
ABSTRACT This review study aimed to determine the relationship between exposure to smoke from biomass burning in the Amazon rain forest and its implications on human health in that region in Brazil. A nonsystematic review was carried out by searching PubMed, Google Scholar, SciELO, and EMBASE databases f...
