Mechanisms of desiccation tolerance in the bromeliad Pitcairnia burchellii Mez: biochemical adjustments and structural changes
(Elsevier B.V., 2017-12-01)
Rocky outcrops represent the diversity center of vascular desiccation tolerant (DT) plants. Vegetation in this environment is exposed to an extended dry season and extreme conditions due to rocky soils and high sun exposure. ...
Seasons of desiccant application in the soybean crop: water content and productivity
(UNIV FEDERAL CEARA, DEPT GEOLFORTALEZA, 2012)
The herbicides glyphosate and paraquat have been used by Brazilian soybean producers to obtain crop desiccation and to anticipate and uniformity at harvest. However, improper use of herbicides can to occasion problems in ...
Efeitos da dessecação de plantas de soja no potencial fisiológico e sanitário das sementes
(2005-12-01)
The objective of this paper was to verify the ideal moment of application of desiccants on the soybeans crop, to obtain seeds with maximum physiological and sanitary quality. The cultivar IAC-15 was sowed at the experimental ...
Protein expression upon desiccation and imbibition of Magnolia ovata A. St.-Hil seeds
(Brazilian Archives of Biology and Technology, 2011-06-01)
The effect of seed drying and imbibition was studied by differential protein expression using two dimensional gel electrophoresis. After drying to a range of water contents, seeds were germinated to assess the viability. ...
Modeling 3-D desiccation soil crack networks using a mesh fragmentation technique
(Elsevier B.V., 2014-10-01)
The problem of desiccation cracks in soils has received increasing attention in the last few years, in both experimental investigations and modeling. Experimental research has been mainly focused on the behavior of slurries ...
Desiccation time of the spring sorghum as a predecessor crop for summer soybean and autumn bean in a no-tillage system
(2016-01-01)
Several authors have been questioned the desiccation interval between the coverage plants and sowing plants for the soybean crop. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the desiccation time of the spring sorghum as a ...
Desiccation tolerance in seeds of Annona emarginata (Schldtl.) H. Rainer and action of plant growth regulators on germination
(2012-10-01)
Annona emarginata (Schldtl.) H. Rainer (araticum-de-terra-fria) is used as a rootstock for several species of Annonaceae. It is suggested that these seeds should be sown immediately after extraction and, therefore, they ...
Thermoeconomic analysis of an evaporative desiccant air conditioning system
(Elsevier B.V., 2003-08-01)
In this paper, a thermoeconomic analysis method based on the first and second law of thermodynamics and applied to an evaporative cooling system coupled to an adsorption dehumidifier, is presented. The main objective is ...
Photosynthetic response of poikilochlorophyllous desiccation-tolerant Pleurostima purpurea (Velloziaceae) to dehydration and rehydration
(Prague, 2014-04-15)
The poikilochorophyllous, desiccation-tolerant (PDT) angiosperm, Pleurostima purpurea, normally occurs in less exposed
rock faces and slightly shady sites. Our aim was to evaluate the light susceptibility of the ...
Aspectos fisiológicos, celulares e moleculares da tolerância à dessecação em sementes de Anadenanthera colubrina durante a germinação
(2017-11-01)
During germination, orthodox seeds become gradually intolerant to desiccation, and for this reason, they are a good model for recalcitrance studies. In the present work, physiological, biochemical, and ultrastructural ...
