Cytokinins in the in vitro multiplication and analysis of the volatile fraction...
Rodrigues,Mariane Aparecida; Bertolucci,Suzan Kelly Vilela; Alvarenga,Ivan Caldeira Almeida; Silva,Sâmia Torres; Carvalho,Alexandre Alves deABSTRACT The aim of this study was to evaluate different concentrations of two cytokinins in the in vitro propagation of the medicinal plant Hyptis marrubioides Epl. and to analyse the volatile fraction of the compounds. Nodal segments of plants were inoculated onto Murashige and Skoog (MS) solid medium with different concentrations of benzylaminopurine (BAP) or tidiazuron (TDZ) under a 16/8 h light/dark cycle ...
Growth and volatiles in the micropropagation of Santa Maria herb
Carvalho,Alexandre Alves de; Bertolucci,Suzan Kelly Vilela; Silva,Sâmia Torres; Pinto,José Eduardo Brasil PereiraABSTRACT The aims of this study were to establish micropropagation for Chenopodium ambrosioides L. and analysis of volatile constituents in vitro as a function of different salt concentrations of MS medium and sucrose. The apical buds were established on MS medium added with 3% sucrose. The vegetative growth of nodal segments was tested in different salt concentrations of MS basic medium (0.25, 0.50, 1.00, 1.50...
Toxicity of Cymbopogon flexuosus essential oil and citral for Spodoptera frugip...
Oliveira,Ellison Rosario de; Alves,Dejane Santos; Carvalho,Geraldo Andrade; Oliveira,Bárbara Maria Ribeiro Guimarães de; Aazza,SmailABSTRACT Fall armyworm (FAW) (Spodoptera frugiperda) is a polyphagous insect responsible for damage to several crops. Synthetic chemical insecticides and genetically modified plants are the most commonly used methods for FAW control. However, the selection of resistant populations has been reported in several studies, justifying the search for new molecules to be used in the control of S. frugiperda. The aim of...

Oliveira,Nelma Neylanne Pinho Muniz; Félix,Matheus Augusto Rodrigues; Pereira,Tauany Costa Silva; Rocha,Luiz Gustavo Pessoa; Miranda,José RafaelABSTRACT The aim of this study was to assess the sperm quality and testicular histomorphometry of Wistar rats supplemented with extract and fractions of fruits of Tribulus terrestris L. The ethanolic extract was obtained by dynamic maceration of spray-dried fruit. This extract was fractionated by liquid-liquid partition, using increasing polarity solvents. Twenty male rats were separated in four groups, with fi...
