Full textAbstract:
Crude rubber seed oil (CRSO) is a promising but currently underutilized biodiesel feedstock alternative, extracted by pressing the seeds of the rubber tree (Hevea brasiliensis). Rubber trees are cultivated across more than 11.4 million hectares worldwide, mainly in Southeast Asia. Despite their suitability as a biodiesel feedstock source, rubber seeds are currently treated as waste in the monocultural plantation system. To date, no assessments have been performed to examine the potential impact of rubber seed-based biodiesel production on GHG emissions. This study analyses the global warming potential of rubber seed methyl ester (RSME) production in Southeast Asia. The functional unit used is 1 MJ of biodiesel. A sensitivity analysis assesses the influence of key parameters (e.g., rubber seed yield) on the GHG mitigation potential. A scenario analysis evaluates the effect of using RSME by-products for energy generation. In comparison to fossil diesel, RSME has a carbon mitigation potential of 67 g CO2.eq. MJ−1, based on allocation by mass. On the condition of compliance with international sustainability standards that call for deforestation-free value chains, the generation of RSME biodiesel on rubber tree plantations in Southeast Asia would have a total mitigation potential of around 2.8 million tonnes of CO2 eq. per year.

ABSTRACT The objective of this study was to evaluate organic substrates in the production of canafistula (Peltophorum dubium) (Spreng.) Taub, cutieira (Joannesiaprinceps Vell.), jatoba (Hymenaea courbaril L.) and rubber tree (Hevea brasiliensis M. Arg.) seedlings, native trees with potential use in forest restoration programs. The design was completely randomized with 10 substrate formulations with 4 repetitions of 3 plants for the four species. The evaluated substrates consisted of soil, bovine manure (BM), poultry manure (PM), chemical fertilizer (CF) and sand, in different proportions. The experiment was concluded at the end of 180 days for canafistula, cutieira and rubber and 210 days for jatoba. At the end of these periods, the root (RDM), shoot (SDM) and total (TDM) the dry matters of the seedlings were determined. Quantification of AMF spores and normalization between samples through SPORES/RDM correction were also performed. The Scott-Knott test at 5% probability was applied. Regarding biomass production, only canafistula had significant difference among the tested substrates. In relation to sporulation, the highest values were observed in cutieira and rubber tree in substrate containing PM. The substrates composed of 40 or 50% soil + 20% sand + 30% or 40 PM for canafistula; 50% soil + 20% sand + 30% PM for cutieira; and for jatoba and rubber tree 60% soil + 20% sand + 20% PM, enabled the best results in terms of biomass production in seedlings and AMF sporulation.

Full textAbstract:
Trunk phloem necrosis (TPN) is a physiological disease of rubber tree (Hevea brasiliensis Müll. Arg.) discovered in the 1980s. It has been distinguished from rubber tree tapping panel dryness (TPD) by its macroscopic symptoms and presumed origin. But little attention has been paid to its microscopic features, and there is now some evidence that both syndromes could be linked to an impaired cyanide metabolism. In order to characterise TPN and compare it with TPD microscopically, the inner phloem of tapping panels was investigated by light and transmission electron microscopy in healthy trees and TPN-affected trees. TPN-affected phloem presented numerous and varied structural and ultrastructural features. There were signs of cellular deterioration in a great number of specialised cells, i.e. laticifers and sieve tubes, and not very specialised cells, i.e. parenchyma cells and companion cells. There were also signs of cellular dedifferentiation in other parenchymatous cells, e.g. in tylosoids and hyperplasic cells. These cells were derived from parenchyma cells that ensheath laticifers in which the latex coagulated. Numerous structural features of TPN are common to TPD, notably tylosoids associated with in situ coagulated latex, which are also known to be early structural markers of TPD and cyanide-induced. It is therefore concluded that TPN is identical to or a variant of TPD, and is a degenerative disease of rubber tree trunk phloem resembling plant stress response, programmed cell death and plant tumourigenesis in some aspects.

We first reported Alternaria heveae (E.G. Simmons ) to be the pathogen that caused black leaf spot of rubber tree (Hevea brasiliensis Muell. Arg) in Heikou county in July 2014 (1). Black leaf spots that resembled the symptoms caused by A. heveae were observed on the leaves of rubber trees of the whole propagule collection nursery in Jingping County (22°68′ N and 103°05′ E) of Yunnan Province. Black foliar spots (0.1 to 2 mm in diameter) surrounded by a yellow halo with lesions slightly sunken on the leaf surface were observed. To confirm whether the disease was caused by the same pathogen, 5-mm2 sections were removed from the leading edge of the lesion and were surface-sterilized in 75% ethanol, air-dried, plated on potato carrot agar (PCA), and incubated at 28°C in the dark. Colonies of the fungus on PCA had round margins and little aerial mycelia with gray-black coloration after 6 days of growth on PCA (2). Medium brown conidia were found to be in short chains of two to eight spores, ovoid, obclavate, and obpyriform, with or without a short conical or cylindrical-shaped apical beak. Conidia ranged from 22.5 to 67.5 μm long (mean 39.9 μm) × 10 to 15 μm wide (mean 12.5 μm; 100 colodia were measured), with three to six transverse septa and zero to three longitudinal or oblique septa. Morphological characteristics matched the descriptions of A. alternata [(Fries) Keissler] (4).The ITS1-5.8S-ITS2 region of one single-spore isolate, Ah02JP1, was amplified with primers ITS1 and ITS4. The PCR product was sequenced directly and deposited in GenBank (Accession No. KM111289). A BLAST search of the GenBank database revealed 100% similarity with A. alternata isolates KJ829535.1, KJ677246.1, and KF813070.1. Therefore, the pathogen was identified as A. alternata on the basis of its morphological characteristics and ITS sequence. Pathogenicity of a representative isolate, Ah02JP1 was confirmed using a field rubber tree inoculation method. Three rubber plants (the clone of rubber tree Yunyan77-4) were grown to the copper-colored leaf stage. Leaves were spray-inoculated (104 conidia per milliliter spore suspension) until drops were equally distributed using a manual pressure sprayer. Three rubber plants sprayed with sterile distilled water were used as controls. After inoculation, the plants were covered with plastic bags to maintain high relative humidity. The plastic bags were removed 2 days post-inoculation (dpi), and the plants were monitored daily for symptom development. Five days post-inoculation, spots similar to the original ones seen on the field trees developed on all inoculated leaves, while control leaves remained symptomless. A. alternata was re-isolated from spray-inoculated leaves, confirming Koch's postulates. A. alternata has been reported as the causal agent of leaf blight of rubber tree in India, which initially appeared as minute spots on leaves and enlarged with the growth of the leaves (3). However, in the present study, the symptoms (black leaf spots) remained small over time after inoculation. To our knowledge, this is the first report of A. alternata on rubber tree in China. Correct identification of pathogens is essential for disease management strategies. This report will establish a foundation for the further study of Alternaria alternata to address the disease effectively. References: (1) Z. Y. Cai et al. Plant Dis. 98:1011, 2014. (2) E. Mirkova. J.

Full textAbstract:
The rubber agroforestry experiments in Jambi started with the theory of change that productive clonal rubber could be economically used in low-labour intensity rubber agroforests, allowing selective retention of forest species or planted fruit trees in interrows. At the end of what was expected to be a 25-year production cycle we revisited the farmers (or their next generation), recorded what had happened to the plot and registered farmer plans for a way forward. Qualitatively, the results showed a wide range of directions of actual change. The envisaged plots, with full-grown tapped rubber in a secondary forest setting did occur – but as exception rather than rule. Some plots had early on been converted to oil palm when white root rot disease killed many of the rubber trees. Others were in a gradual transition to oil palm, already interplanted, or depended on natural regeneration of rubber within the plot for the trees currently being tapped. Some plots had been completely destroyed as the land was sold to a local coal-mine developer. Overall tapping frequency was low, as farmgate rubber prices have in recent years been low and farmers had other options (including participating in small-scale gold mining). Farmer experience with the various clones tested led to mixed opinions on which (if any) of the clones introduced were superior to what farmers used in the past (and what still regenerates in the landscape). GT1, a robust clone, was seen as hardly more productive as local germplasm, the PB260 and BPM1 clone were productive, but especially PB260 clone sensitive to white root rot disease. The quality of rubber wood was a concern for some farmers. The most successful intervention, from farmers’ as well as environmental perspective, has probably been the interplanting of meranti (Shorea leprosula) or tembesu (Fagraea fragrans) trees in young rubber stands, with good prospects for generating substantial income.

The phenomenon of rubber consumption in Malaysia has been increased parallel with the world demand. Hence, it is necessary for the cultivators to gain some knowledge for differentiating various rubber tree clone breed which may give them high latex yield after 5 years or more of planting. This paper discusses the identification of several rubber tree clones breed based on the best percentage of the reflectance wavelength obtained from the respected latex. In this work, there were three selected rubber tree clones which are RRIM 2025, PB 355 and PB 350 suggested by Rubber Research Institute of Malaysia (RRIM) will undergo a preliminary analysis on the significant information of spectrum properties acquired from the latex. A hundred of latex samples have been collected from each clone and extracted the optical measurements of the primary color spectrum (Red, Green and Blue) using spectrometer. The next step is to analyze the acquired information based on its reflectance wavelength with respect to clones and at the end it will be evaluated statistically. As a result, there were two out of three clones could be discriminated between each other with refer to the green wavelength (573nm).

Full textAbstract:
Rubber tree (Hevea brasiliensis) is an important crop in tropical regions of China. In October 2013, a new stem rot disease was found on cv. Yunyan77-4 at a rubber tree plantation in Hekou, Yunnan Province. There were about 100 plants, and diseased rubber trees accounted for 30% or less. Initially, brown-punctuate secretion appeared on the stem, which was 5 to 6 cm above the ground. Eventually, the secretion became black and no latex produced from the rubber tree bark. After removing the secretion, the diseased bark was brown putrescence, but the circumambient bark was normal. Upon peeling the surface bark, the inner bark and xylem had brown rot and was musty. The junction between health and disease was undulate. On the two most serious plants, parts of leaves on the crown were yellow, and the root near the diseased stem was dry and puce. The pathogen was isolated and designated HbFO01; the pathogenicity was established by following Koch's postulates. The pathogen was cultivated on a potato dextrose agar (PDA) plate at 28°C for 4 days. Ten plants of rubber tree cv. Yunyan77-4 were selected from a disease-free plantation in Haikou, Hainan Province, and the stem diameter was about 7 cm. The bark of five plants was peeled, and one mycelium disk with a diameter of 1 cm was inserted into the cut and covered again with the bark. The other five plants were treated with agar disks as controls. The inoculation site was kept moist for 2 days, and then the mycelium and agar disk were removed. On eighth day, symptoms similar to the original stem lesions were observed on stems of inoculated plants, while only scars formed on stems of control plants. The pathogen was re-isolated from the lesions of inoculated plants. On PDA plates, the pathogen colony was circular and white with tidy edges and rich aerial hyphae. Microscopic examination showed microconidia and chlamydospores were produced abundantly on PDA medium. The falciform macroconidia were only produced on lesions and were slightly curved, with a curved apical cell and foot shaped to pointed basal cell, usually 3-septate, 16.2 to 24.2 × 3.2 to 4.0 μm. Microconidia were produced in false heads, oval, 0-septate, 6.2 to 8.2 × 3.3 to 3.8 μm, and the phialide was cylindrical. Chlamydospores were oval, 6.4 to 7.2 × 3.1 to 3.8 μm, alone produced in hypha. Morphological characteristics of the specimen were similar to the descriptions for Fusarium oxysporum (2). Genomic DNA of this isolate was extracted with a CTAB protocol (4) from mycelium and used as a template for amplification of the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region of rDNA with primer pair ITS1/ITS4 (1). The full length of this sequence is 503 nt (GenBank Accession No. KJ009335), which exactly matched several sequences (e.g., JF807394.1, JX897002.1, and HQ451888.1) of F. oxysporum. Williams and Liu had listed F. oxysporum as the economically important pathogen of Hevea in Asia (3), while this is, to our knowledge, the first report of stem rot caused by F. oxysporum on rubber tree in China.

High revenues from rubber latex exports have led to a rapid expansion of commercial rubber cultivation and, as a consequence, the conversion of different land use types (e.g., natural forests) into rubber plantations, which may lead to a decrease in soil health. In this study in Quang Tri Province, Vietnam, we determined: (1) the variation of soil health parameters along a chronosequence of rubber tree stands and natural forests and (2) the relationships and potential feedback between vegetation types, vegetation structures and soil health. Our results revealed that: (1) soil health was higher in natural forests than in rubber plantations with a higher values in higher biomass forests; (2) soil health was lower in younger rubber plantations; (3) soil health depends on vegetation structure (with significantly positive relationships found between soil health and canopy cover, litter biomass, dry litter cover and ground vegetation cover). This study highlights the need for more rigorous land management practices and land use conversion policies in order to ensure the long-term conservation of soil health in rubber plantations.

Bark necrosis (BN), described and first studied in Côte d'Ivoire in the 1980s (2), affects most modern rubber plantations (i.e., grafted trees with high-yielding clones, intensive exploitation due to tapping frequency, and use of Ethrel as a yield stimulant) worldwide with a wide range of severity across sites. While previous (3) and recent (4) etiological analyses remain inconclusive, environmental factors were shown associated with BN. Numerous epidemiological surveys conducted in various African and Asian plantations on recently tapped blocks (less than 10-year-old trees) revealed the nonrandom location of the earliest single diseased trees. These risky areas are mainly characterized by the proximity of a swamp, plantation road, windrow, old bulldozer track, residual forest stump, or slope break. In BN emergence areas, while no significant correlation was found with chemical soil parameters, physical soil analyses (e.g., penetrometer) revealed higher soil compaction often associated with poorer rhizogenesis in BN trees (comparative root counts made in pits close to healthy or BN trees). Furthermore, initial BN symptoms were preferentially observed near the grafted bud at the rootstock/scion junction (RS/S). Numerous comparative ecophysiological measurements of leaf water potential, stem water potential, and predawn base potential using a plant moisture stress (PMS) pressure chamber indicated water stress in BN trees. These results and preliminary dye transfer studies at the RS/S junction suggested a nonoptimal vascular relation between the root system and the trunk of BN trees. In conclusion, compaction-associated reduced water availability of the soil and poor root capacity to meet the water demand during drier dry seasons combined with disturbed sap flows and recurrent local water drainage (latex flows) are now suspected to jointly act as the main exogenous causal stresses that induce the BN process at the RS/S bud zone before spreading upward to the tapping cut. This multidisciplinary approach gives a new comprehensive scenario for the emergence of this multifactorial physiological disease, now suspected to involve cyanide release (1) into the inner phloem of the rubber tree.

Knowing the stand age of rubber tree (Hevea brasiliensis) plantations is vitally important for best management practices, estimations of rubber latex yields, and carbon cycle studies (e.g., biomass, carbon pools, and fluxes). However, the stand age (as estimated from the establishment year of rubber plantation) is not available across large regions. In this study, we analyzed Landsat time series images from 1987–2015 and developed algorithms to identify (1) the establishment year of rubber plantations; and (2) the pre-conversion land cover types, such as old rubber plantations, evergreen forests, and cropland. Exposed soil during plantation establishment and linear increases in canopy closure during non-production periods (rubber seedling to mature plantation) were used to identify the establishment year of rubber plantations. Based on the rubber plantation map for 2015 (overall accuracy = 97%), and 1981 Landsat images since 1987, we mapped the establishment year of rubber plantations on Hainan Island (R2 = 0.85/0.99, and RMSE = 2.34/0.54 years at pixel/plantation scale). The results show that: (1) significant conversion of croplands and old rubber plantations to new rubber plantations has occurred substantially in the northwest and northern regions of Hainan Island since 2000, while old rubber plantations were mainly distributed in the southeastern inland strip; (2) the pattern of rubber plantation expansion since 1987 consisted of fragmented plantations from smallholders, and there was no tendency to expand towards a higher altitude and steep slope regions; (3) the largest land source for new rubber plantations since 1988 was old rubber plantations (1.26 × 105 ha), followed by cropland (0.95 × 105 ha), and evergreen forests (0.68 × 105 ha). The resultant algorithms and maps of establishment year and pre-conversion land cover types are likely to be useful in plantation management, and ecological assessments of rubber plantation expansion in China.

Para a consecução do objetivo, fez-se necessário a realização de um resgate histórico que nos ajudou a apreender as relações sociais travadas no âmbito do setor de borracha, as quais foram marcadas até meados da década de 1980 pelos interesses conflitantes entre a elite extrativista amazônica composta por seringalistas e aviadores, de um lado e, a elite industrial do setor pneumático, do outro. Com o aumento do preço da borracha natural a partir de 1973, puxada pelos alta nos preços da borracha sintética devido a crise do setor petrolífero, ocorreu uma maior expansão das plantações de seringueira na região sudeste do país, principalmente no Estado de São Paulo. Assim foi que já no inicio da década de 1990 a produção amazônica representava menos de 50% da produção nacional, perdendo sua posição protagonista como produtora de borracha natural para o Estado de São Paulo. Essa processo redundou no deslocamento do eixo do conflito da região amazônica-sudeste para o interior da região sudeste do país onde os produtores e processadores de borracha natural haviam personificado os interesse da elite extrativista. Com o aprofundamento do processo de industrialização do país a partir da década de 1950, o setor de pneumático foi ganhando envergadura e a partir de então passou a pressionar com mais vigor o Estado que concedeu a permissão para a importação de borracha natural em 1997 com a revogação da Lei de Contingenciamento ao mesmo tempo que promulgou a Lei do Subsídio, a qual apenas em partes compensou a abertura econômica do setor.

For the achievement of the objective, the accomplishment of a historical rescue became necessary that in helped them to apprehend the stopped social relations in the scope of the rubber sector, which had been marked until middle of the decade of 1980 for the conflicting interests between the extrativista elite Amazonian composed for seringalistas and aviators, of a side and, the industrial elite of the pneumatic sector, of the other. With the increase of the price of the natural rubber from 1973, pulled for the high one in the prices of the synthetic rubber which had the crisis of the petroliferous sector, a bigger expansion of the plantations of rubber tree in the Southeastern region of the country occurred, mainly in the State of São Paulo. Thus it was that no longer beginning of the decade of 1990 the Amazonian production represented less than 50% of the national production, losing its position natural rubber protagonist as producing for the State of São Paulo. This process resulted in the displacement of the axle of the conflict of the region Amazonian-Southeast for the interior of the Southeastern region of the country where the natural rubber producers and processors had impersonatied the interest of the extrativista elite. With the deepening of the process of industrialization of the country from the decade of 1950, the tire sector was gaining spread and from now on it started to pressure with more vigor the State that granted the permission for the natural rubber importation in 1997 with the revocation of the Law of Contingenciamento at the same time that it promulgated the Law of the Subsidy...

Resumo: O látex é o principal produto extraído da seringueira (Hevea brasiliensis). No Brasil, a madeira de seringueira, ao final do ciclo produtivo de látex, é utilizada tradicionalmente para fins energéticos, mas trabalhos internacionais relatam práticas consolidadas de agregação de valor a ela. Diversos pesquisadores têm observado crescimento e agravamento do problema da seca do painel de sangria nos plantios nacionais, doença que compromete a produção de látex. O objetivo principal deste trabalho foi avaliar a qualidade da madeira de árvores dos clones comerciais GT 1 e RRIM 600 em três condições distintas de sanidade: árvores com produção normal de látex (sadias); árvores com presença de seca do painel de sangria por origem abiótica/fisiológica e árvores com presença da seca do painel de sangria por origem biótica/patológica. Foram amostradas seis árvores de cada condição de sanidade dos dois clones de plantios na região de São José do Rio Preto-SP com idade igual ou superior a 20 anos. Os parâmetros anatômicos e físico-mecânicos avaliados foram o comprimento das fibras (presença e delimitação de madeira juvenil e adulta), densidade básica e aparente da madeira, retratibilidade e índice de anisotropia, resistência à compressão paralela às fibras, resistência e rigidez à flexão e dureza Janka. Os resultados mostraram que a madeira juvenil ocorre desde a medula até cerca de 40% e 32% do raio para os clones GT 1 e RRIM 600, respectivamente, podendo-se associar a idade do plantio de 6 a 8 anos como transição entre madeira juvenil e adulta.

Abstract: Latex is the main product extracted from rubber tree (Hevea brasiliensis). In Brazil, at the end of the production cycle of latex, rubber wood is traditionally used for energy purposes but international studies have reported consolidated practice that result in added-value products. Several researchers have observed raised and worsening of tapping panel dryness, a disease that impairs the production of latex. The main objective of this study was to evaluate the quality of rubber wood of commercial clones GT 1 and RRIM 600 in three distinct health conditions: trees producing latex (healthy), trees with tapping panel dryness of abiotic/physiological origin and trees with tapping panel dryness of biotic/pathological origin. Six trees of each health condition of the two clones from plantations in the São José do Rio Preto region - Sao Paulo State, Brazil - aged 20 years or more were sampled. Anatomical and physical-mechanical parameters evaluated were fibers length (occurrence and delimitation juvenile-mature wood), specific gravity and apparent density, shrinkage and anisotropy index, compression parallel to grain strength, bending strength and rigidity and Janka hardness. Results showed that juvenile wood occurs from pith up to 40% and 32% of ray for GT 1 and RRIM 600 clones respectively, allowing the association of the age of 6 to 8 years of plantation as transition between juvenile and mature wood. The mean specific gravity of rubber wood from both clones varied from 580 kg/m³ to 595 kg/m³ and there wasn't statistical difference of this parameter among health conditions and between clones.

O objetivo do trabalho foi selecionar progênies com maior adaptabilidade e estabilidade a partir do diâmetro da planta a 50 cm do solo (DA50) e a produção de borracha seca (PBS, a partir do teste Hamaker Morris Mann modificado), de uma população de seringueira, aos três anos de idade, plantada em três ambientes distintos (Selvíria-MS, Votuporanga-SP e Colina-SP), utilizando-se do método MHPRVG (média harmônica da performance relativa dos valores genéticos) preditos por BLUP e estimar a variabilidade genética a partir de caracteres quantitativos, tais como: altura da planta (ATP), DA50, forma da planta (FOP), sobrevivência das progênies (SOP) e PBS dos três locais, aos dois e três anos de idade, pelo procedimento REML/BLUP visando a conservação dos recursos genéticos da espécie. As sementes utilizadas na produção das mudas dos testes de progênies foram, na sua maioria, coletadas de clones de origem Asiática provenientes da coleção de clones instalada na área experimental da Agência Paulista de Tecnologia dos Agronegócios - APTA - Polo Regional de Votuporanga, Estado de São Paulo. As progênies foram instaladas nos três locais sob o delineamento de blocos ao acaso, compostos por 30 tratamentos (progênies), três repetições e parcelas lineares de 10 plantas, no espaçamento de 3,00 x 3,00 metros, totalizando 900 plantas úteis em cada local. O método da MHPRVG propiciou um ganho genético de 12,03 a 45,65% entre 10 progênies selecionadas a partir da PBS e permitiu a seleção de progênies com alto potencial produtivo predito. As 10 melhores progênies foram oriundas dos clones GT1, PB 28/59, PR 261, RRIM 606, PB 217, IAC 41, IAC 35, PR 255, RRIM 701 e IAC 301.

The paper objective was to select progenies with high adaptability and stability from the diameter gauges from 50 cm of height of soil (DA50) and dry rubber yield (PBS, from the Hamaker Morris Mann modified test), of genotypes from a rubber tree population, two and three years old, installed in three different locations (Selvíria-MS, Votuporanga-SP e Colina-SP), by the MHPRVG (Harmonic Average Performance Relative breeding values) method predicted by BLUP and to estimate the genetic variability from quantitative characters: total height of the plant (ATP), DA50, plant form (FOP), survival of progeny (SOP) and PBS of three locations, two and three years old, by REML/BLUP procedure, intending the genetic resources conservation of the specie. The seeds used on seedlings production of progenies tests were in majority collected on Asiatic clones origin from the clones installed in the experimental area of Agência Paulista de Tecnologia dos Agronegócios - APTA - Votuporanga regional pole, State of São Paulo. The progenies were installed in a randomized block design of 30 treatments (progenies), three replications and 10 plants per plot, with spacing of 3,00 x 3,00 m, a total of 900 useful plants in each location. The method of MHPRVG provided a genetic gain ranging from 12,03 to 45,65% in 10 progenies to the PBS and allowed the selection of progenies with high yield potential predicted. The 10 best progenies were derived from clones GT1, CR 28/59, PR 261, RRIM 606, PB 217, IAC 41, IAC 35, PR 255, RRIM 701 and IAC 301. The characters ATP, DA50, FOP, SOP and PBS presented considerable coefficients of genetic variation, ranging from 1,25% for the ATP to 21,33% for PBS and medium heritability for DA50 and PBS being 0,23 and 0,80, respectively...

Resumo: Esse trabalho teve como objetivo estudar o ciclo biológico de T. heveae em folíolos de seringueira dos clones RRIM 600, PB 235 e GT 1. Inicialmente foi estabelecida uma colônia de manutenção de T. heveae. As arenas de criação e para estudos da biologia foram confeccionadas a partir de folíolos de seringueira dos clones acima citados sendo mantidas sob condições controladas em câmara climatizada do tipo BOD com umidade relativa de 70+10%, fotoperíodo de 12 h, 28+0,1oC na fotofase e 25+0,1oC na escotofase. Três observações diárias foram realizadas, acompanhando-se o desenvolvimento de 60 ovos em folíolos de cada clone para verificação do estágio de desenvolvimento em que o ácaro se encontrava, assim como a oviposição das fêmeas. A fase mais longa registrada nos três clones foi a de ovo e o período mais curto foi o protoninfal. Em todos os clones estudados a fase de maior viabilidade foi a deutoninfal, e a menor, a larval. Quatorze fêmeas e quatro machos atingiram a fase adulta no clone PB 235, sendo observada uma taxa média de oviposição de 1,2 ovo/dia/fêmea. No clone RRIM 600, nove fêmeas e dois machos foram observados, sendo registrada a taxa de oviposição de 0,7 ovo/dia/fêmea. No clone GT 1, sete fêmeas chegaram à fase adulta com taxa média de 0,51 ovo/dia/fêmea. O ciclo completo da incubação do ovo até a morte do adulto durou 25 dias, em média, nos clones RRIM 600 e PB 235. A taxa intrínseca de crescimento populacional (rm) foi de 0,09; 0,08 e 0,02 nos clones PB 235, RRIM 600 e GT 1, respectivamente. O clone PB 235 possibilitou um melhor desenvolvimento de T. heveae, seguido pelo clone RRIM 600. O clone GT 1 foi o menos favorável ao desenvolvimento.
Abstract: This work aims to study the biological cycle of T. heveae in rubber tree leaflets of clones RRIM 600, PB235 and GT 1. Initially, a maintenance colony was established. The breeding arenas and those for the study of the biology were created using leaflets of the aforementioned rubber tree clones, which had been kept under controlled conditions in a climatic chamber. Three daily observations were done, following the development of 60 eggs in each clone to check the developmental stage and female oviposition. The egg was the longest-lasting phase registered and the protonymph was the shortest period. The deutonymph was the most viable phase in all clones, whereas the least viable was the larval stage. Fourteen females and four males reached the adult stage in the clone PB 235, an average oviposition rate of 1.2 egg per day per female. In the RRIM 600 clone, nine females and two males were viable, and an oviposition rate of 0.70 egg per day per female was observed. In the GT 1 clone, seven females reached the adult stage, the average ovoposition rate was 0.51 egg per day per female. The complete cycle of incubation of the egg until the death of the adult lasted, on average, 25 days in RRIM 600 and PB 235 clones. The intrinsic rate of population increase (rm) was 0.09; 0.08 and 0.02 in clones PB 235, RRIM 600 and GT1, respectively. The clone PB 235 allowed a better development of T. heveae, followed by RRIM 600. The clone GT 1 was the least favourable for the development of that mite species.

Resumo: Através de experimentos de campo, laboratório e de casa de vegetação foi analisada a susceptibilidade de diferentes clones de seringueira ao ataque de Calacarus heveae Feres (Acari, Eriophyidae). Em campo foram estudadas a dinâmica populacional de ácaros fitófagos e sua influência na estrutura da comunidade de ácaros em seis clones da seringueira, em área pertencente a empresa Plantações Edouard Michelin, Itiquira, MT. Para isso, foram amostrados 10 folíolos de 10 diferentes plantas em seis parcelas clonais, num intervalo médio de 14 dias, no período de março de 2004 a março de 2005. Em experimentos realizados no Laboratório de Acarologia do Depto. de Zoologia e Botânica, UNESP, São José do Rio Preto, foram acompanhados o ciclo biológico, a reprodução e sobrevivência populacional de 20 indivíduos de C. heveae em folíolos destacados dos clones GT 1, PB 235 e RRIM 600. Os ensaios foram repetidos quatro vezes, sendo cada repetição realizada em período em que se registrou a ocorrência do ácaro no campo. Em ensaio realizado em casa de vegetação, no campus da UNESP, São José do Rio Preto, SP, foi verificada a influência do ataque de C. heveae nos processos fisiológicos foliares e na produção de látex em 9 e 11 mudas dos clones RRIM 600 e GT 1, respectivamente, com cinco meses de idade. Foi verificado que a abundância de cada espécie fitófaga diferiu entre os seis clones estudados e, consequentemente, exerceu influência na ocorrência e distribuição das espécies diretamente ou indiretamente relacionadas. Os clones mais susceptíveis ao ataque de C. heveae foram PB 260 e RRIM 600, enquanto os mais resistentes PB 235, PB 217 e GT 1.

Abstract: The susceptibility of different rubber tree clones to the attack of Calacarus heveae Feres (Acari, Eriophyidae) was analyzed through field, laboratory and greenhouse essays. In the field essay, we studied the population dynamics of phytophagous mites and its influence on the mite community structure in six rubber trees clones, in a farm belonging to the Plantações Edouard Michelin, Itiquitira, MT. For that, 10 leaflets of 10 different plants were sampled from each of the six clonal plots, from March 2004 to March 2005. We observed in essays performed in the Laboratory of Acarology of Depto. Zoology and Botany, UNESP, São José do Rio Preto, the biological cycle, reproduction and population survivorship of 20 C. heveae individuals reared on detached leaflets of clones GT 1, PB 235 and RRIM 600. The essays were repeated four times, in the periods when C. heveae was more abundant in the field. For the greenhouse essay, performed in UNESP, São José do Rio Preto, SP, we verified the influence of C. heveae attack on physiological processes and on the latex yield in 9 and 11 five-months aged seedlings of the clones RRIM 600 and GT 1, respectively. The phytophagous species had different abundances on the six rubber tree clones and, consequently, influenced the occurrence and distribution of other mite species. The most susceptible clones to the attack of C. heveae were PB 260 and RRIM 600, while the most resistant were PB 235, PB 217 and GT 1. In the arenas made of detached leaflets, C. heveae had faster development, high reproductive rate and survivorship increase on PB 235 and RRIM 600. Probably, the different ages of the plants used in field and laboratory essays influenced the conflicting results in relation to PB 235 susceptibility to C. heveae. The C. heveae attack decreased the photosynthetic rate... (Complete abstract click electronic access below)

Full textAbstract:
Rubber trees helped structure the violent transition from empire to nation-state during nearly thirty years of conflict on the Indochinese peninsula. Chapter 5 focuses on the struggle over plantations that took place in Vietnam and Cambodia between 1945 and 1954. During the First Indochina War, plantation environments served as a key military battleground. In the fighting that took place immediately after the end of World War II, many plantation workers, encouraged by the anticolonial Việt Minh, attacked the rubber trees as symbols of hated colonial-era abuse. Slogans placing the culpability of worker suffering on trees show how plantation workers often treated the trees themselves as enemies. Despite their colonial origins, plantation environments were important material and symbolic landscapes for those seeking to build postcolonial Vietnamese nations. French planters claimed to struggle heroically against nature, Vietnamese workers saw themselves as struggling against both nature and human exploitation, and anticolonial activists articulated struggles against imperial power structures. Industrial agriculture such as rubber was vital to nation-building projects, and by the early 1950s, Vietnamese planners began to envision a time when plantations would form a part of a national economy.

Siberia is the Sleeping Land, a huge subcontinent barely awakened by the first nomads who arrived here uncounted millennia ago, and still, toward the end of the nineteenth century, so devoid of people that in much of it you could travel hundreds of miles in almost any direction and see no evidence that humans had ever existed. Yet the aim of Tsar Alexander III in committing Russia to carve the longest railroad in the world across this great nowhere was not primarily to provide an avenue for settlement by immigrants from overcrowded and often impoverished European Russia. A hundred years after the railroad’s completion, Siberia remains today one of the least-populated places on earth. No, the primary purpose was empire building. It was a way to gain better access to the region’s dazzling natural riches, which were the property of the tsar; to protect the eastern flank of the empire against Chinese and Japanese designs and provide a launching pad for Russia’s own designs to the east; and to bind together a string of Russian settlements flung out over a contiguous land mass larger than that ever claimed by any other single entity. To accomplish its goal of uniting Vladivostok on the Pacific with Moscow and then St. Petersburg on the Atlantic, Russia had to do something that nearly all engineers at the time judged impossible—carve a passable corridor through a continent’s worth of forest, bog, permafrost, stone, and swamp. The work was done by free peasants, imported labor, and prisoners wielding wooden shovels, specially designed machinery, dynamite to blast through permafrost, and bonfires to melt it. Workers had to contend with plague and cholera, searing arctic winters and blistering summers, and attacks by insects, tigers, and bandits. It took twenty-five years from the first felled tree to the last spike, it cost roughly a billion rubles all told, or perhaps as much as seven billion in today’s dollars, and by the time it was done in 1916, the empire was nearly bankrupt and on the verge of collapse. But to a large extent, the effort to bind together at least Russia itself, if not the larger empire, succeeded.

Full textAbstract:
Reconstructing kill-off patterns from faunal remains is an essential step in deciphering the association between humans and animals in ancient societies. Specifically, demographic patterns and trends are considered key parameters in studying the process of domestication as revealed in the archaeozoological record (Davis 1987; Clutton-Brock 1999; Reitz & Wing 1999). This is especially true in the case of pig domestication, where both archaeozoological and ethnoarchaeological evidence point to a prolonged process that has included, and still includes today, a wide diversity of associations between pigs and humans (Grigson 1982; Griffin 1998; Hongo & Meadow 1998; Lobban 1998; Redding & Rosenberg 1998; Rosman & Rubel 1989). Although several methods exist for the recording of tooth eruption and wear for the purpose of ageing teeth, these methods rarely include statistical means by which to compare the resulting kill-off patterns. A further complication, seldom addressed in the literature, is the use of isolated teeth. In this chapter I suggest a simple procedure to overcome these problems. This procedure is illustrated using data recorded for pig remains from Hagoshrim, a Neolithic site from Israel, and discuss its implications for the study of pig domestication in the southern Levant. However, this method is applicable to any mammalian assemblages where similar ageing methods are used. Analysing kill-off patterns based on tooth eruption and wear usually involves the following stages (e.g. Hesse 1986, 2002; Rolett & Chiu 1994; Hongo & Meadow 1998; Ervynck et al. 2001; Horwitz 2001; Davis in press): (1) collecting the raw data by recording eruption and wear stages, most commonly (for pigs) based on the scheme provided by Grant (1982); (2) correlating the archaeozoological data with absolute ages from recent populations, based (for pigs) primarily on the works of Matschke (1967), Silver (1969), and Bull & Payne (1982); and (3) generating histograms or survivorship curves that summarize the raw data. However, Grant’s method and other common methods for generating survivorship curves produce information that does not lend itself easily to statistical testing. Furthermore, the method outlined by Grant (1982) is designed specifically for the analysis of half-mandibles, which are scarce in most archaeozoological assemblages.

Al-Bunayya, a fortified Marinid city on the northern coast of the strait of Gibraltar (1282-1375 AD)This article presents the results of the archaeological investigation carried out between 2017 and 2018 by Algeciras City Council in al-Bunayya (1282-1375), the only city founded by the Marinid dynasty in al-Andalus, after recent research revealed its true location. Until then, the site of the city had been attributed to another Islamic city in Algeciras: al-Ŷazīra al-jadrā’. The two cities existed alongside one another from the end of the Middle Ages, until they were destroyed by the Nasrids in 1375 or 1379 and subsequently abandoned. The medina’s defences comprised a wall protected by two lines of concentric barbicans and a third section which may have formed part of the entrance to one of the city gates. At least three phases of construction have been identified: the first coincides with the founding of the city by the Marinid sultan Abū Yūsuf (1282-1285), when the wall and the first barbican were built from rammed earth, a technique used in most Marinid urban settlements. The second phase (1285-1344) may be linked to Nasrid refurbishments, which covered or substituted the former rammed earth walls of the towers with walls made from layers of stone masonry and filled with rubble masonry, reflecting the customary methods used to refurbish fortifications on the border with Castile. The third phase (1344-1369) may be attributed to the time of the Castilian conquest due to the presence of stonemasons’ marks, and involved the construction of a sloping barbican using stone and rubble masonry.
