TL;DR: Results of controlled pollination and the self-incompatibility index (ISI) suggest that the species presents protogynous behavior and is self-compatible, producing fruits in all self-pollination treatments in similar proportions as under natural pollination.
Abstract: A biologia reprodutiva de Byrsonima coccolobifolia, foi avaliada em uma populacao de savana do Estado de Roraima. A especie e constituida de arbustos e arvoretas com altura inferior a 3m, de flores hermafroditas zigomorfas, pentâmeras, reunidas em inflorescencias do tipo racemo terminal, produzidos em brotacoes novas, o calice e composto por cinco sepalas, que apresentam um par de glândulas produtoras de oleo. A corola e formada por cinco petalas albo-roseas e unguiculadas, o androceu e composto por dez estames com anteras de coloracao amarela. A antese pode ser noturna ou diurna, estende-se por um periodo medio de 12 horas e as flores costumam ficar abertas e vistosas por um periodo adicional de 15 horas, quando se inicia a senescencia. Foram registrados dois episodios de floracao e o fogo parece ser um fator ambiental estimulador desta fenofase. Os visitantes florais predominantes foram abelhas das familias Anthophoridae (Centris sp. e Xylocopa sp.) e Apidae (Apis mellifera e Bombus sp.). Os resultados das polinizacoes controladas e o calculo do indice de auto-incompatibilidade (ISI) indicam que a especie apresenta comportamento protoginico e e autocompativel, produzindo frutos em todos os tratamentos de autopolinizacao em proporcoes semelhantes a polinizacao natural, nao sendo confirmada a producao de frutos apomiticos. Entretanto, os percentuais de frutos formados nos tratamentos de xenogamia foram significativamente superiores aos tratamentos de autofertilizacao, indicando que B. coccolobifolia apresenta um sistema reprodutivo misto com niveis elevados de alogamia e autogamia.

TL;DR: Laboratory-reared Lutzomyia longipalpis was tested with extracts of two ichthyotoxic plants, known as timbós, used as fishing poison in the Amazon, and preliminary assays indicated that A. ovata and D. amazonica displayed significant insecticide effect against L. longipalPis.
Abstract: Laboratory-reared Lutzomyia longipalpis (Lutz and Neiva 1912) was tested with extracts of two ichthyotoxic plants, known as timbos, used as fishing poison in the Amazon. Phlebotomines, L. longipalpis, and plants, Antonia ovata and Derris amazonica, were collected in the Raposa-Serra do Sol Indian Reserve, a focus of visceral leishmaniasis in the State of Roraima, Brazil. Extracts were prepared from dried leaves of A. ovata and roots of D. amazonica that were percolated in water, filtered and dried out at 50°C. The solid extract obtained was diluted in water at 150, 200 and 250 mg/ml. The solution was blotted in filter paper placed at the bottom of cylindric glass tubes containing sand flies. For each plant extract and dilution, two series of triplicates with 5 male and 5 female specimens of L. longipalpis were used. Mortality was recorded every 2 h during 72 h of exposure. At 72 h the mortality was as high as 80% for extracts of A. ovata (LD50 = 233 mg/ ml), and 100% for D. amazonica (LD50 = 212 mg/ ml) whereas in the control groups maximum mortality never surpassed 13%. Preliminary assays indicated that A. ovata and D. amazonica displayed significant insecticide effect against L. longipalpis.

TL;DR: O artigo visa a refletir sobre a formacao e educacao permanente de trabalhadores da e para a saude indigena, diretriz da Politica Nacional de Atencao a Saude dos Povos Indigenas that se apresenta atrasada e inconclusa na agenda oficial.
Abstract: Este artigo visa a refletir sobre a formacao e educacao permanente de trabalhadores da e para a saude indigena, diretriz da Politica Nacional de Atencao a Saude dos Povos Indigenas que se apresenta atrasada e inconclusa na agenda oficial. Partindo das proposicoes intersetoriais dos Ministerios da Saude e da Educacao direcionadas a formacao em saude, destacamos o caso da atencao a saude indigena, apontando que as iniciativas oficiais na area ainda necessitam incorporar o conceito de educacao permanente, que e um potente instrumento para o favorecimento do dialogo intercultural e orientacao das praticas sanitarias.

TL;DR: In the style the inhibition of pollen-tube growth occurred in both the upper and middle parts of the transmitting tract, consistent with the hypothesis that suggests the presence of a gametophytic gene which acts in association with the sporophytic S-gene in P. edulis.
Abstract: Pistil squashes were used to examine the growth of Passiflora edulis f. flavicarpa Deg pollen tubes in self-compatible and self-incompatible crosses. Compatible tubes typically showed a uniform layer of callose deposition in the walls and in small plugs spaced at regular intervals within the tube. Two sites of rejection were observed in incompatible crosses: the stigma and on some occasions the style, especially in anomalous crosses. In the style the inhibition of pollen-tube growth occurred in both the upper and middle parts of the transmitting tract. These findings are consistent with the hypothesis that suggests the presence of a gametophytic gene which acts in association with the sporophytic S-gene in P. edulis.
