    Spatial-temporal patterns of coffee tree physiology
    (Editora UFLA, 2019-07) Santini, Paula Tristão; Barbosa, Ronei Aparecido; Almeida, Lorena Gabriela; Souza, Kamila Rezende Dázio de; Barbosa, João Paulo Rodrigues Alves Delfino; Alves, José Donizeti
    The ecophysiological parameters of coffee canopy were mapped throughout the day. Therefore, evaluations were carried out in ‘Catuaí Vermelho’ Coffea arabica L., measuring 1.7 meters. A vertical gradient (from the apex to the base of the plant canopy) and a horizontal gradient (plagiotropic branches) were established to analyze different positions of the canopy. Thus, in the vertical direction, four heights were analyzed in the plant: top, upper, middle and lower regions. In the horizontal gradient, the plagiotropic branches were divided into three parts: basal, median and apical. Collection was performed on the east and west sides of the canopy, at four times of the day: 6 a.m., 9 a.m., noon, and 3 p.m., totaling 24 collection points at each time. Gas exchange, photosynthetically active radiation and leaf temperature were evaluated in each of the 24 points of the coffee canopy. The gas exchange characteristics of an individual coffee leaf diverge considerably from other leaves, which require caution when scaling estimates of leaf photosynthesis at the global canopy level. The analysis of some punctual leaves does not serve to discriminate the overall dynamics of a canopy.

    Spatio-temporal variability of carbohydrate and chlorophyll content in the coffee canopy
    (Editora UFLA, 2019-07) Santini, Paula Tristão; Almeida, Lorena Gabriela; Souza, Kamila Rezende Dázio de; Barbosa, João Paulo Rodrigues Alves Delfino; Alves, José Donizeti
    The spatial variability of the total chlorophyll content and carotenoids content, starch and soluble sugars of coffee canopy were mapped throughout the day. Therefore, evaluations were carried out in a ‘Catuaí Vermelho’ coffee plant with 1.7 meters height. A vertical gradient (from the apex to the base of the plant canopy) and a horizontal gradient (plagiotropic branches) were established to analyze different positions of the canopy. Thus, in the vertical direction, four heights were analyzed in the plant: top, upper, middle and lower regions. In the horizontal gradient, the plagiotropic branches were divided into three parts: basal, median and apical. Collection of leaf samples was performed on the east and west sides of the canopy, at 9 a.m., totaling 24 collection points at each time. Higher content of photosynthetic pigments and concentration of sugars were observed in the western face and in the inner parts of the coffee tree. The content of chloroplast pigments and sugars of an individual coffee leaf diverge considerably from other leaves, which requires caution when scaling estimates at the global canopy level. The analysis of some punctual leaves does not serve to discriminate the overall dynamics of a canopy.

    Metabolismo da sacarose em cafeeiros submetidos a diferentes níveis de sombreamento
    (Editora UFLA, 2014-10) Baliza, Danielle Pereira; Santos, Meline de Oliveira; Alves, José Donizeti; Guimarães, Rubens José; Cunha, Rodrigo Luz da
    Objetivou-se, neste trabalho, avaliar a atividade das enzimas envolvidas no metabolismo da sacarose e os níveis de carboidratos no endosperma de frutos de cafeeiros submetidos a diferentes níveis de sombreamento. Os tratamentos foram dispostos no delineamento de blocos casualizados (DBC) no esquema fatorial 5 x 3, sendo cinco níveis de sombreamento (pleno sol, 35, 50, 65 e 90% de sombra) e três estádios de desenvolvimento dos frutos (cereja, verde cana e verde). As variáveis analisadas foram as atividades das enzimas sacarose fosfato sintase (SPS), sacarose sintase (SuSy) e invertase ácida e, o conteúdo de açúcares solúveis totais, sacarose e glicose. O sombreamento, a partir de 50%, aumentou a atividade das enzimas invertase ácida e SuSy nos estádios verde cana e cereja. Em relação à SPS o sombreamento não alterou a sua atividade, sendo os maiores valores encontrados nos estádios verde cana e cereja. Os níveis de sombreamento até 65 % apresentaram os maiores teores de açúcares solúveis totais e sacarose nos estádios tardios de maturação, enquanto que a 90 % de sombreamento, os maiores valores foram encontrados nos estádios iniciais de desenvolvimento do fruto. O teor de glicose foi maior no estádio verde de maturação até o nível de 50 % de sombreamento, a partir do qual houve uma redução nos valores da glicose com o aumento do sombreamento. Assim, verifica-se que o sombreamento a partir de 50%, provavelmente modifica o desenvolvimento do fruto por alterar o metabolismo da sacarose no endosperma, prolongando o período de maturação.

    Modifications in the metabolism of carbohydrates in (Coffea arabica L. cv. siriema) seedlings under drought conditions
    (Editora UFLA, 2013-04) Brum, Christiane Noronha Fernandes; Melo, Emanuelle Ferreira; Barquero, Luis Orlando Barboza; Alves, José Donizeti; Chalfun-Júnior, Antonio
    Understanding what mechanisms are involved in drought response in coffee plants will generate relevant information to assist breeding and/or genetic engineering to obtain new commercial varieties with drought tolerance. This research aimed at studying the effects of drought on leaf water potential, carbohydrate concentrations, and sucrose synthase and invertase activity in coffee seedlings (Coffea arabica Siriema), originating from a natural cross between C. racemosa and C. arabica Blue Mountain (Carvalho et al., 2008). Seedlings were grown in a greenhouse under non-irrigated and daily irrigated conditions. Plants were evaluated every three days until they reached the permanent wilting point or, at most. 30 days after withholding water. In addition, plants under different drought conditions (as of 30 days) were irrigated and evaluated 24 and 48 hours after water application. The non-irrigated treatment prompted a significant reduction in leaf water potential, whereas re-irrigation promoted partial recovery of plant water potential. There was a significant increase in the levels of total soluble sugars and reducing sugars, both in the leaves and roots of the non-irrigated plants. The re-irrigated plants behaved like the non-irrigated plants; however, lower levels of sugars were detected in these samples. The leaves and roots of the non- irrigated plants also showed a significant reduction in starch levels. The activity of sucrose synthase and invertase, neutral and acid enzymes, increased as a result of water stress.
