TL;DR: Estudos revelam que o Si tem um papel ativo na resistencia of algumas plantas as doencas e nao exerce apenas uma barreira mecânica that impede o ingresso dos fitopatogenos.
Abstract: The element silicon (Si) is not considered an essential nutrient for plant function. Nevertheless, Si is absorbed from soil in large amounts that are several fold higher than those of other essential macronutrients in certain plant species. Its beneficial effects have been reported in various situations, especially under biotic and abiotic stress conditions. The most significant effect of Si on plants, besides improving their fitness in nature and increasing agricultural productivity, is the restriction of parasitism. There has been a considerable amount of research showing the positive effect of Si in controlling diseases in important crops. Rice (Oryza sativa), in particular, is affected by the presence of Si, with diseases such as blast, brown spot and sheath blight becoming more severe on rice plants grown in Si-depleted soils. The hypothesis underlying the control of some diseases in both mono- and di-cots by Si has been confined to that of a mechanical barrier resulting from its polymerization in planta. However, some studies show that Si-mediated resistance against pathogens is associated with the accumulation of phenolics and phytoalexins as well as with the activation of some PR-genes. These findings strongly suggest that Si plays an active role in the resistance of some plants to diseases rather than forming a physical barrier that impedes penetration by fungal pathogens.

TL;DR: The NIK (NSP-interacting kinase)-mediated antiviral signaling pathway was identified as a virulence target of the begomovirus nuclear shuttle protein, and the ribosomal protein L10 (rpL10), a QM-like protein, as a downstream effector of the antiviral signalling was identified.

TL;DR: O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar a produtividade e obter as estimativas de parâmetros geneticos e nao geneticos de 40 materiais geneticos do programa de melhoramento genetico de cafe Conilon do Incaper, no Estado do Espirito Santo.
Abstract: O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar a produtividade e obter as estimativas de parâmetros geneticos e nao geneticos de 40 materiais geneticos do programa de melhoramento genetico de cafe Conilon do Incaper, no Estado do Espirito Santo. Foram analisados dados de dois experimentos, nos municipios de Marilândia e Sooretama, ES, nas safras de 1996, 1997, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001 e 2002, em que se avaliaram 16 caracteristicas. Realizou-se, inicialmente, a analise de variância individual, por local em cada ano, com base na media de parcelas, em blocos ao acaso. Posteriormente foi feita a analise de variância conjunta. Os genotipos apresentaram grande variabilidade genetica para a maioria das caracteristicas avaliadas. Os elevados coeficientes de determinacao genotipico e coeficientes de variacao geneticos, associados as altas produtividades e a variabilidade genetica indicam a possibilidade de obtencao de exitos em programas de melhoramento genetico para diferentes caracteristicas avaliadas nos dois municipios.

TL;DR: The floristic comparative analysis showed that the Atlantic Forest influenced the similarity values between Santa Barbara´s Cerrado and the others, in which geographic distance was shown to be the most important factor influencing theFloristic composition.
Abstract: A phytosociological study in the Cerrado "sensu strictu" of The Paraopeba Nacional Forest-MG was carried out, comparing the qualitative results with other samples. The Paraopeba National Forest suffered intense clearing in 1952, which motivated the phytosociological study of 1 hectare of woody vegetation and floristic comparison with others samples. Ten plots of 0.1ha (20x50m) were established and included in the study all trees with C30 > 15.7cm. A total of 1990 individuals/ha (total density) and 18.13m2/ha (total basal area) were recorded. The values of richness (73 species/38 families), of Shannon diversity (3.57) and the evenness (0.83) suggested great heterogeneity and low ecological dominance. Leguminosae and Vochysiaceae were the richest families in species. The group of dead trees reached the greater value of importance followed by Qualea parviflora, Pera glabrata, Erythroxylum suberosum and Qualea grandiflora. The floristic comparative analysis showed that the Atlantic Forest influenced the similarity values between Santa Barbara´s Cerrado and the others. It was different for the Cerrado of Palmas, in which geographic distance was shown to be the most important factor influencing the floristic composition.
