Aiming to investigate solutions that improve the problems of processing and storing fruits after harvest, the present work carried out a bibliographical review about the use of chitosan in the postharvest quality of fruits, pointing out its main results in several researches. For this, inclusion criteria were used in the search in the databases of Portal de Periódicos from Capes, Scielo and Google Academic. The...
Salinization of soils is a problem that occurs when there is an excess of salts in the soil solution, affecting livestock and agriculture, causing economic and environmental damages. The objective of this work was to evaluate plant communities present in salinized areas of the irrigated perimeter Curu-Recuperação, in Pentecoste-CE. Five collections were carried out in two perimeter areas, in three seasons of th...
Secretory cavities are structures that secrete compounds that protects plants against herbivory and pathogenic microorganisms. These cavities have been reported in many genera. However, there are few studies on secretory cavity ontogeny in the genus Myrcia (Myrtaceae) as well as the effects of luminosity and seasonality on such secretory cavities. Therefore, the objective of this is to provide new information r...
Museums are important spaces that stimulate reflection, creativity and help in the process of knowledge construction and teaching-learning for teachers, students and the community. The objective of this work was to carry out a state of the art of scientific articles from 2011 to 2020, in relevant journals, with the theme of science and biology in Brazilian museums, through a bibliographic documentary analysis. ...
Plants have been used as medicines since antiquity and an ethnobotany seeks to understand how the population uses these plants. Therefore, the study aimed to verify the ethnobotanical knowledge of high school students from state public schools in Maranguape-CE about medicinal plants. The exploratory and descriptive study with a qualitative and quantitative approach was carried out through the application of sem...
The content approach related to Water Microbiology improves the formation of environmental awareness in the student. The use of educational games aims to assist in the teaching-learning process and encourage a connection with the topic addressed. In this context, the objective was to describe the process of building and evaluating a game as a facilitating mechanism for the teaching of Water Microbiology. It is ...
Studies on seed technology are based; on the analysis of temperatures and pre-germination methods. It is necessary to improve those that are most efficient, optimizing time and resources. Dormancy is a process of distributing seed germination over time and space. Cassia grandis L. f., is a native tree species, belonging to the Fabaceae family, has environmental and socioeconomic importance. The objective of thi...
Aquaponics is a system that integrates aquaculture with plant production in which two species are benefited, and there is water saving. In this study was carried out with an aquaponic system to verify the interaction between the growth of the halophytes Batis maritime, Sarcocornia neei, and Sporobolus virginicus associated with white shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei rearing. We also investigated if there were differ...
The halophyte Salicornia neei Lag. can be used as a phytoremediation agent in salt degraded areas. The objective of this work was to evaluate the organic (carbohydrate and N-aminosoluble) and inorganic (Na+, K+ and Cl-) solutes contents in S. neei submitted to different blades of irrigation and fertilization in Ceara semiarid. The samples were obtained in culture carried out in Ocara-CE. Four areas of 100 m2 we...
Shrimp wastewater discarded directly into the environment can impact the stability of adjacent ecosystems. This study evaluated the following: the growth of halophytes cultivated with shrimp culture water and water from an estuary; the interaction between the integrated cultivation of halophytes and shrimp in water recirculation systems; and physicochemical variables of wastewater before and after being treated...
