13. The loss of leaf and its relation to genus Ectatomma (Formicidae:Ecatomminae) in a cerrado community / A perda de área foliar e sua relação com o gênero Ectatomma (Formicidae: Ectatomminae) em uma comunidade de cerrado
The loss of leaf area, mostly resulting from the action of herbivores is one of the factors that regulate the reproductive success of a plant and indirectly to all consumers connected to the community. Most studies of herbivory and leaf loss are punctual, i.e., refer to one or a few plant species. In the cerrado, a tropical savanna in Brazil, the largest sav

14. Endossimbiose de Tetranychus evansi Baker e Pritchard (Acari: Tetranychidae) e a resposta de defesa induzida em tomateiro / Endosymbioses of Tetranychus evansi Baker and Pritchard (Acari: Tetranychidae) and tomato induced defence response
Interactions between arthropods and microorganisms have been receiving more attention due to the impact that these symbiotic associations causes on their macrosymbionts. Reproduction is the main biological parameters affected with cytoplasmic incompatibility and thelytokous parthenogenesis; however, endosymbionts can help arthropods to exploit host plants. I

15. Identificação e caracterização de proteinas expressas no espaço intercelular de folhas de Theobroma cacao na interação com Moniliophthora perniciosa / Identification and characterization of proteins expressed in the intercellular space of leves from Theobroma cacao infected by Moniliophthora perniciosa
The invasion of the plant apoplast is a critical phase of the infection for numerous pathogens, including the fungus M. perniciosa (Mp) that remains in the intercellular space at the parasitic stage until about 60 days. Thus, the understanding of plant defenses induced in the apoplasm and the response mechanisms that the pathogens used for bypassing these de

16. Induced resistance to the two-spotted mite Tetranychus urticae Koch (Acari, Tetranychidae) in strawberry plants / Resistência induzida ao ácaro rajado Tetranychus urticae Koch (Acari: Tetranychidae) em morangueiro
Plants previously attacked by herbivores may have their defense system activated. The defense forms may occur by different routes. Some of the unleashed routes take place right after the herbivory, when the plant starts responding in an indirect way through the production of volatile substances attractive to natural enemies of the infesting phytophagous.

17. Gene expression analysis in sweet orange in response to Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. citri and Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. aurantifolii / Expressão diferencial de genes de laranja doce em resposta a infecção por Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. citri e axonopodis pv. aurantifolii
The most aggressive form of the citrus canker disease is caused by the bacteria Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. citri (Xac), which can infect all commercial varieties or species of citrus. In addition to Xac, Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. aurantifolii (Xaa) causes a weaker form of the disease, known as cancrose C, which is restricted to Mexican Lime (Citrus aurantif

18. Putative resistance genes in the CitEST database
Disease resistance in plants is usually associated with the activation of a wide variety of defense responses to prevent pathogen replication and/or movement. The ability of the host plant to recognize the pathogen and to activate defense responses is regulated by direct or indirect interaction between the products of plant resistance (R) and pathogen avirul

19. Defesas foliares em resposta à herbivoria em espécies lenhosas de restinga,Ipojuca-PE
The leaf, the major photosynthetic plant organ, has the important function to adjust the plants to different habitats through morphological, chemical and physiological changes as a defense against the environmental factors. The chewing insects, the major consumers of leaf tissues, prejudice the behavior of the plants through the consumption of the photosynth

20. Resistance induced in bean plants (Phaseolus vulgaris) by acibenzolar-S-methyl and Bacillus cereus: physiological and biochemical aspects, growth and production parameters / Indução de resistência em feijoeiro (Phaseolus vulgaris) por acibenzolar-S-metil e Bacillus cereus: aspectos fisiológicos, bioquímicos e parâmetros de crescimento e produção"
The induction of systemic resistance involves the activation of latent resistance mechanisms in plants against pathogens in response to the treatment with biotic or abiotic agents. The plants present latent defense system that can be activated with the goal of saving energy. Thus, the induced resistance under natural conditions will represent cost only in th

21. Ecologia das interações entre formigas e a mirmecófita Tococa guianensis no Cerrado brasileiro
Tococa guianensis (Melastomataceae) is one of the few existing myrmecophytic species in the Brazilian Cerrado, and although it is commonly found in the gallery forests (and eventually in grassland vegetation) of this biome little is known about the interaction between ants and T. guianensis. For this I analyzed three populations of T. guianensis in central B

22. Caracterização bioquimica e molecular da doença vassoura-de-bruxa do cacaueiro (Theobroma cacao L.), causada pelo fungo Crinipellis perniciosa / Biochemical and molecular characterization of witches broom disease of cocoa (Theobroma cacao L.), caused by the fungus Crinipellis perniciosa
Witches? broom disease, caused by the hemibiotrophic fungus Crinipellis perniciosa, is one of the most important diseases of cocoa, causing dramatic production and economic losses. A better understanding of the cacao - C. perniciosa interaction and the processes that occur in the plant during disease progression becomes necessary in order to establish novel

23. Estudo das interaÃÃes planta-herbÃvoro em Laguncularia racemosa (L.) GAERTEN (COMBRETACEAE) no manguezal de MaracaÃpe, Ipojuca, PE
Interspecific competition is an important force in the ecology of the populations and communities of herbivores. An example that has been neglected is the competition between inductors of gall. These if characterize for being an atypical fabric transformation and/or vegetal agency, being able to be caused by mites, insects, etc. Better to understand the inte

24. Oxidative stress: molecular perception and transduction of signals triggering antioxidant gene defenses
Molecular oxygen (O2) is the premier biological electron acceptor that serves vital roles in fundamental cellular functions. However, with the beneficial properties of O2 comes the inadvertent formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) such as superoxide (O2·-), hydrogen peroxide, and hydroxyl radical (OH·)
