    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.

    Influência do espaçamento de cultivo em duas épocas de poda nos teores caulinares de carboidratos em cafeeiros
    (Editora UFLA, 2013-10) Pereira, Sérgio Parreiras; Baliza, Danielle Pereira; Santos, Meline Oliveira; Alves, José Donizeti; Guimarães, Rubens José
    Objetivou-se, neste trabalho, avaliar os teores caulinares de carboidratos de cafeeiros em função do espaçamento de cultivo e em duas épocas de poda. O experimento foi conduzido em uma lavoura na Fazenda Experimental da Empresa de Pesquisa Agropecuária de Minas Gerais (EPAMIG), em Machado, MG, implantada em janeiro de 1992. O delineamento experimental foi em blocos casualizados em esquema fatorial 4 x 3 x 2, sendo quatro espaçamentos entre as linhas (2,0; 2,5; 3,0 e 3,5 m), três espaçamentos entre as plantas na linha de plantio (0,5; 0,75; 1,0 m), e duas épocas de poda (uma precoce feita logo após a colheita no mês de julho 2002 e a outra tardia no mês de janeiro de 2003), totalizando 24 tratamentos com três repetições. Em julho de 2002 e em janeiro de 2003 foram realizadas as podas tipo “recepa”, em que foram coletadas as amostras dos discos caulinares dos cafeeiros e analisados os teores de carboidrato acumulados no caule. Os tratamentos foram também avaliados quanto à produtividade e à produção por planta, no ano de 2002. A produtividade é influenciada negativamente pelo aumento do espaçamento entre as linhas de plantio, enquanto a produção por planta é maior no espaçamento de 1,00 m entre plantas. Nos maiores espaçamentos entre as plantas ocorre uma manutenção nos teores de açúcares solúveis totais de uma época de poda para a outra. Os teores de amido aumentam em todos os espaçamentos entre as épocas de poda. Quando a poda é realizada seis meses após a colheita dos frutos, os cafeeiros apresentam maiores teores caulinares de carboidratos.

    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.
