Studies on the myxobiota of Atlantic Rainforest have been carried out mainly in the Northeast region of Brazil but the ground litter microhabitat has only been included in a few of these studies. This study aimed to record the composition and diversity of the myxobiota of the ground litter of Pedra Talhada Biological Reserve and to expanding the knowledge about the microbiota of Atlantic Rainforest. Samples of ground litter were collected at the end of the dry season and the beginning of the rainy season and 1,080 moist chambers were mounted. The identification of the specimens obtained were based on a morphological examination. Were obtained 86 specimens, identified, and registered in the UFP herbarium. Plasmodia and/ or sporocarps were recorded in 23.7% of the moist chambers. The inventory resulted in 13 new records for Alagoas raising the number of known species in the state to 61. Perichaena longipes and Stemonitopsis gracilis are registered for the first time in Northeast Brazil and in the Atlantic Rainforest, Macbrideola spinosispora is the first record for Brazil and Licea sp. is likely a new taxon. A key to identify the species occurring in Alagoas is presented, as well as, distribution and comments of the species in Brazil.","PeriodicalId":38672,"journal":{"name":"Rodriguesia","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67284684","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We focused in comprehensively characterize the DNAJ gene family in yerba mate to predict its possible roles on development and diverse stress responses to further assist crop manage. Our results suggest that yerba mate DNAJ proteins account 140 diverse members of six structural types displaying potential variable roles in protein homeostasis control. We were able to classify them into 51 distinct orthology groups, in agreement to Arabidopsis, and performed translational genomics of function, localization, expression and stress responsiveness data. Genome mapping and expression analysis indicated that yerba mate DNAJ genes differ in expression, nucleotide composition, length and exon-intron structure. Intronless or few introns genes -linked to rapid stress response- accounted 85 DNAJs. Promoters of DNAJ genes harbored a 73.2% of cis-acting regulatory elements involved in response to diverse stresses, hormones and light, simultaneously. We hypothesize that yerba mate DNAJs assist to plant survival during multiple stresses linked to current dominant agroecosystem but promote its growth under shade.","PeriodicalId":38672,"journal":{"name":"Rodriguesia","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67284804","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Our study investigated native knowledge of edible forest plants, in three communities within the Kaxinawá Indigenous Land on the Lower Rio Jordão, Acre state, Brazil. The principal methods used were participant observation, open and semi-structured interviews and walk-in-the-woods. The study recorded 89 native food species. Some 60% are managed in food-production areas, with 56% of the recorded species have received little or no scientific study of their food potential. The role which natural systems play in Huni Kuĩ society is indicated by the management and use of a high diversity of native species, which contributes to food security and nutritional sovereignty. However, there is a progressive under-utilization and substitution of forest species, due to the introduction of cultivated exotic species and the increase in consumption of industrialized products. An enhancement of the value given to native food-plants is needed to encourage continuing autonomy of production, and diet diversification, as well as the conservation of sociobiodiversity of traditional peoples in the Amazon through sustainable management practices of the current social-ecological system.","PeriodicalId":38672,"journal":{"name":"Rodriguesia","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67284602","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Seeds were germinated under controlled conditions for four days and seedlings were transferred to hydroponics and maintained at a greenhouse during four days. Samples were collected at distinct physiological stages and reserves, metabolites, and enzymatic activities were determined in different seedling parts. Galactomannans stored in the endosperm and non-reducing sugars accumulated in the cotyledons were mobilised from seed germination to hypocotyl emergence. During these processes, the accumulation of reducing sugars in the endosperm coincided with an increase in the starch content in the cotyledons and seedling axis, indicating that sugars released from galactomannans may have been utilised in starch biosynthesis. Starch and storage protein mobilisation in the cotyledons occurred later, from hypocotyl elongation to cotyledon expansion. Starch degradation possibly supported the accumulation of starch and soluble sugars in the root, while storage protein hydrolysis was associated with cotyledon greening and first leaf emergence. Accordingly, reserve mobilisation exhibits a biphasic pattern, enabling fast seedling establishment as a physiological strategy to ensure environmental colonisation.","PeriodicalId":38672,"journal":{"name":"Rodriguesia","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67284536","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
