1. Advances in the knowledge of the natural history of aquatic plants in the Neotropics
ABSTRACT Until the mid-XX century, little awareness on the ecological services or socio-environmental problems and benefits related to aquatic plants culminated in bottlenecks on their natural history, especially for the Neotropics. In this context, Acta Botanica Brasilica (ABB) organized this special issue to promote the advancement of knowledge on this eco

2. NET PRIMARY PRODUCTIVITY OF A MOUNTAIN FOREST ECOSYSTEM AS AFFECTED BY CLIMATE AND TOPOGRAPHY
ABSTRACT Response of terrestrial ecosystems to changing climate has become an issue of central importance for land managers and policymakers. Climate extremes and trends have a strong control on productivity of semi-arid mountain ecosystems. Located in a transition zone from continental type climate to relatively mild Black Sea type climate in Turkey, the Il

3. Revisiting hydropotes of Nymphaeaceae: ultrastructural features associated with glandular functions
ABSTRACT Hydropotes are specialized epidermal structures involved in water and mineral flux into and out of the plant body. We analyzed hydropote morphology of four species of Nymphaeaceae: Nymphaea caerulea, Nymphaea lotus, Nymphaea rubra, and Victoria amazonica. Leaf samples were processed following conventional techniques for plant anatomy and for scannin

4. Um novo ecossistema: florestas urbanas construídas pelo Estado e pelos ativistas
resumo Historicamente, a expansão das cidades resultou na substituição da paisagem natural pela urbana, tendo como consequência a degradação ambiental por meio das mudanças na cobertura do solo, nos sistemas hidrológicos, nos ciclos biogeoquímicos, no clima e na biodiversidade, tornando as cidades especialmente vulneráveis às mudanças climáticas

6. COMPARISON BETWEEN EXPERIMENTAL AND SIMULATED RESULTS OF BIODIESEL PRODUCTION BY REACTIVE DISTILLATION AND ENERGETIC ASSESSMENT
ABSTRACT Biodiesel appears to be a likely substitute to conventional diesel. However, the main challenge has been the creation of a competitive advantage for the biodiesel production process in terms of innovation and efficiency. The reactive distillation technique for biodiesel production is possibly a key force to overcome this technological issue because

7. A produção enxuta sob a perspectiva da visão baseada em recursos: um estudo em uma organização do setor calçadista
Resumo O objetivo deste artigo é analisar como os recursos estratégicos contribuíram para a implementação da produção enxuta (PE) em uma organização do setor calçadista, sob a perspectiva da visão baseada em recursos (VBR). Tomando como base os pressupostos teóricos da PE e da VBR, foi desenvolvido um procedimento de análise composto de cinco et

8. Transgênicos e o princípio de equivalência substancial
RESUMO Objetivamos discutir os principais argumentos que estão envolvidos no debate sobre a cientificidade do Princípio de Equivalência Substancial (PES), que afirma serem os OGM quimicamente equivalentes aos organismos selecionados pelas técnicas tradicionais de melhoramento, não requerendo, portanto, estudos toxicológicos adicionais. Problematizamos

9. Assessment of the yield loss imparted by Orobanche aegyptiaca in tomato in Pakistan
Abstract Broomrapes (Orobanche sp.) are root holoparasitic plants causing severe damage to various families of horticultural crops. A Preliminary survey was carried in tomato fields infested with orobanche in Potohar plateau of Pakistan. Results indicated that each planting bed comprising10-12 tomato plants contained 7-8 parasitic weeds. Overall survey indic

10. Effects of Iron Enrichment of Adzuki Bean (Vigna angularis) Sprouts on Elemental Translocation, Concentrations of Proteins, Distribution of Fe-Metalloproteins, and Fe Bioaccessibility
Iron (Fe) is an essential element for human nutrition, and its deficiency or low hemoglobin levels are a global health issue. Strategies aimed at increasing the amounts of essential elementals in agricultural products, as sprouts of adzuki bean (Vigna angularis), can be a way to minimize deficiencies, mainly in the populations of developing countries. Theref

11. Soil bacteria showing a potential of chlorpyrifos degradation and plant growth enhancement
ABSTRACT Background: Since 1960s, the organophosphate pesticide chlorpyrifos has been widely used for the purpose of pest control. However, given its persistence and toxicity towards life forms, the elimination of chlorpyrifos from contaminated sites has become an urgent issue. For this process bioremediation is the method of choice. Results: Two bacterial

12. Do soil fertilization and forest canopy foliage affect the growth and photosynthesis of Amazonian saplings?
Most Amazonian soils are highly weathered and poor in nutrients. Therefore, photosynthesis and plant growth should positively respond to the addition of mineral nutrients. Surprisingly, no study has been carried out in situ in the central Amazon to address this issue for juvenile trees. The objective of this study was to determine how photosynthetic rates an
