Fabris, D. | Gerber, T. | Sartoretto, L. M.
The present study aimed to establish the protocols for disinfestations, germination and in vitro micropropagation of grápia (Apuleia leiocarpa (Vogel) Macbride). To disinfestations and break seed dormancy, were tested three treatments, and inoculated into test tubes containing growing medium. As for variable germination were tested four medium of nutritious, MS, MS½, WPM, WPM ½. And, to introduce organogenesis, the growing medium used was WPM, supplemented with BAP, at concentrations of 0,0; 0,4; 0,8 ml/L, combined with ANA in the concentration of 0,05 ml/L. The explants used in this study were hypocotyls and cotyledons obtained from grapia seedling germinated in vitro, 30 days after inoculation in growing medium. The organogenesis induction was performed in WPM growing culture. The evaluated parameters in this study were the disinfestation and break dormancy, germination and organogenesis induction. The data were subjected to variance analysis and the by Tukey test, at 95% of probability. Treatment III showed to be more efficient for both aseptic and to break seed dormancy, providing 92% of germination and 2% of contamination. As for the in vitro germination, the WPM and WPM½ growing cultures were the most effective, favoring 100% of germination. For various formations of calluses and sprouts on hypocotyls explants, there was no significant difference between the tested BAP concentrations. However, it was observed in cotyledon explants that the best results occurred at concentrations of 0,8 ml and 0,4 ml of BAP and 0,05 ml of ANA.Â

This study aimed to evaluate the influence of different cultures second crop on the population of the nematode P. brachyurus, and the soybean crop productivity. The experiment was conducted at Embrapaagrosilvopastoral during agricultural year 2012/13, 2013/2014 and 2014/15, 0.4 ha of tracks. During the 2012/2013 crop soybeans planted in every area, in the off-season in 2013, two corn cultivars, two soybean and corn consortium with B. ruziziensis in 2013/14 crop was sown soybeans again in the off-season 2014 They were sown three soybean cultivars, a cultivar of corn and intercropping of millet with C. ochroleuca. In the season 2014/15 soybean was sown in every area and in the off-season 2 cultivars of maize and 3 soybean cultivars. Productivity was determined and the population of the P. brachyurus in roots. It was observed that millet consortium and C. ochroleuca were efficient in controlling the nematode. There were differences of reactions not only among species but within species and between the genotypes and soybeans, interfering with the population of the P. brachyurus. In the season 2013/2014 the soybean yield was influenced by the treatments, but the harvest 2014/2015 there was no statistical difference.

Castaldo, J. H. | Sorace, M. | Nolla, A. Nolla | Mota Neto, L. V.
The agriculture expansion at Brazil is turning to lower clay index soils and consequently, less organic matter content and cation exchange capacity. To overcome those deficiencies, an intense organic matter addition in these soils may be a solution, and this solution is positive when using a crop-livestock integration with corn-pasture dual crop planted on winter. However, to establish this dual-crop system, there is a need to study the behavior of seeds and seedlings of Brachiaria ruziziensis sown in greater depths than normally recommended. Thus, this work aimed to determine the best depth of sowing B. ruziziensis in sandy and loamy soils of Umuarama region, studying the germination and early development of seedlings. The work was held in pots of 12 cm diameter x 12 cm deep, filled with 2 types of soil, a sandy and clay ones with 30 B. ruziziensis seeds sown each pot in five sowing depths: 0, 2, 4, 6 and 8 cm. After 16 days, the number of emerged seedlings was evaluated to set up the germination rate of each treatment, after that, the plants where leveled to 4 each pot, those were cultivated for another 45 days to evaluate the fresh and dried masses of plants and roots, the height of the plants and average length of roots. The sowing depth with higher percentage of germination estimated was 2.65 cm to sandy and 3.02 cm to clay soil. At seedlings development, there was a standard, with better development seedling at lower sowing depths on clay soil and better developments at higher sowing depths in sandy soil.

Calderon, C. | Oliveira, R. R. | Marquez, E. S. | Cruz, M. F. R.
Canine transmissible venereal tumor, TVT, is a very common aggressive neoplasm, and the most affected animals are dogs, and other canids may also be affected. There are many forms of transmission, and this naturally occurs between the carriers, sexual intercourse is considered a major route of transmission, it is usually found in urban areas with an environment with a large population of free-roaming dogs and affect dogs and bitches. The TVT can clinically appear macroscopic form with lumps of various sizes, ulcerated, necrotic or not, and its development is usually in the genitals with associated secondary problems, such as urinary retention and others. The tumor diagnosis, in addition to anamnesis should be associated with the cytological or histological analysis. Several techniques are used to collect samples for analysis in microscopy, where the best technique to be used in the diagnosis of TVT is the aspiration cytology. The chemotherapy is considered the most effective method for TVT treatment, and vincristine sulfate is the drug of choice.

Souza, A. H. | Rubin, M. A. | Sauzem, P. D. | Sant’Anna, G. S. | Dalmolin, G. D. | Drewes, C.C. | Muniz, M. N. | Lourega, R. V. | Bonacorso, H. G. | Zanatta, N. | Martins, M. A. P. | Sinhorin, V. D. G.
In this study we investigated whether the intrathecal administration (i.t.) of the novel pyrazolyl-thiazole derivative 2-[5-trichloromethyl-5-hidroxy-3-phenyl-4,5-dihydro-1H-pyrazol-1-yl]-4-(4-bromophenyl)-5-methylthiazole (B50)Â caused antinociception in adult male mice, using the hot plate and acetic acid writhing assays. B50 (200 nmol/ 5 ml, i.t.) caused antinociception 90-120 minutes after its administration. Naloxone (8.25 mmol/ kg, s.c.) reverted the antinociceptive action of B50 (200 nmol/ 5 ml, i.t.), in the acetic acid writhing assay, suggesting that opioid mechanisms are involved in the antinociception caused by B50. B50 had no effect on spontaneous locomotion or rotarod performance, indicating that the currently reported antinociceptive effect of B50 is not related to unspecific motor effects.

Agriculture is an activity of great expansion in the state of Mato Grosso (MT), which reflects on the city of Sinop and proximities, and in an intense way mechanization is intensively applied in these areas. This study aimed to diagnose the level of mechanization (Kw/ha) in relation to the cultivated agricultural area and the total area. To this, a sample of 15 agricultural properties located in the region of Sinop – MT were analyzed. For the scale representation of the properties, 4 strata were applied in function of the property total agricultural area. The availability of power in the property resulted in significant differences in the mechanization index. Stratification was efficient for the determination of the mechanization index in the strata, occurring similarities only between strata 2 (3001 – 5000 ha) and 3 (5001 – 9000 ha). The average participation of the areas analyzed was approximately 50%, in which bigger areas presented inferior participation than smaller areas.
