Hydraulic architecture of lianas in a semiarid climate: efficiency or safety?
Carvalho, Ellen Cristina Dantas; Martins, Fernando Roberto; Soares, Arlete Aparecida; Oliveira, Rafael Silva; Muniz, Celli RodriguesXylem anatomical traits can provide insights regarding the mechanisms affecting the distribution of vascular plants across environmental gradients. In this study, we aimed to investigate the hypothesis that lianas occurring in semiarid environments have characteristics that maximize the xylem resistance to tension-induced cavitation along the root- -stem-branch continuum. To gather information regarding the hyd...

Induction of somatic embryogenesis in two cultivars of anthurium analysed by sc...
dos Santos Melo, Priscila Bezerra; Portugal Pinto de Carvalho, Ana Cristina; Campos de Magalhães Bertini, Cândida Hermínia; Muniz, Celli RodriguesSomatic embryogenesis is an advantageous tool in the commercial production of micropropagated anthurium plantlets. As such, the aim of this study was to establish a protocol for the induction of somatic embryogenesis in Jureia and Luau cultivars. Defoliated nodal segments, 1.0 cm in length and containing one bud, were used as explants. The experimental design was completely randomised, in a 2 x 3 x 5 factorial ...
EXPLAINING THE WATER-HOLDING CAPACITY OF BIOCHAR BY SCANNING ELECTRON MICROSCOP...
Gondim, Rubens Sonsol; Muniz, Celli Rodrigues; Lima, Carlos Eduardo Pacheco; Gurgel, Marcos Chaves; Santos, Carlos Levi Anastácio dosBiochar is a solid material formed during biomass thermochemical decomposition processes. This organic compound has particular properties that may cause effects on soils depending on its feedstock and processing conditions. Thus, the characteristics and purpose of use of this material must be recognized prior to its use. Two types of biochar, derived from different wood sources, were compared, one from ca...
