Abstract Some plants are able to maintain or improve their performance under cadmium (Cd) exposure, despite high Cd concentrations in roots and shoots, indicating that they have protective strategies neutralise the side effects from accumulation. The regulation of antioxidant machinery mitigation uptake translocation been focus several studies, but evidence shows modulation nutritional status is also involved tolerance mechanisms. Although alterations nutrient usually coupled negative...

Abiotic stresses negatively affect crop development and yield. However, the use of seaweed extracts can alleviate production losses through improvement antioxidant system synthesis compatible osmolytes. The aim this study was to assess effects Ascophyllum nodosum extract on response yield common bean plants (Phaseolus vulgaris) under drought stress. Therefore, two methods application (foliar spray soil irrigation) doses (5 10 mL L-1) were tested, whereas untreated used as control. There no...

O mamão (Carica papaya L.) é uma fruta altamente perecível devido ao rápido amadurecimento após a colheita. A busca de técnicas que ampliem o período conservação e reduzam as perdas pós-colheita desejável. Mamões 'Sunrise Solo' foram colhidos em dois estádios maturação (verde maduro) tratados com antagonista competitivo do etileno 1-metilciclopropeno (1-MCP) nas concentrações 0, 30, 90 270 nL L-1, durante 12 horas 20ºC. Após tratamentos os frutos armazenados condições ambientais (20ºC) oito...

One of the major disadvantages sunflower cultivation is increased plant height, making it prone to lodging. The use growth retardants can be an alternative strategy reduce height; however, these compounds may affect productivity. aim this study was evaluate effects on development and yield. Four treatments were studied: 1- control; 2- gibberellic acid (GA) 10 mg L−1; 3- trinexapac-ethyl (TE) 5 mL L−1, 4- maleic hidrazide (MH) 8 L−1. TE MH decreased height (16.9 35.9%, respectively); only...

Blossom-end rot (BER) is a physiological disorder that can affect 100% of the fruit crop depending on genotype. Tomato varieties with elongated usually have greater susceptibility to BER than other varieties. To evaluate and identify possible morphological characteristics related onset development, four long-shape tomato different BER: ‘San Marzano,’ ‘Banana Legs,’ ‘Roma,’ ‘Mini-Roma’ were examined. Our results show Marzano’ Legs’ (elongated fruit) had higher incidence lower Ca 2+...
