CA001-03 Manual de Identificação dos
Invertebrados Marinhos da Região Sudeste-Sul do Brasil
Amaral ACZ*, Rizzo AE, Arruda EP
Este “Manual de Identificação dos Invertebrados
Marinhos da Região Sudeste-sul do Brasil” visa preencher
uma lacuna importante no conhecimento da fauna de invertebrados marinhos
da costa brasileira. Lacuna esta relacionada à inexistência
de publicações envolvendo uma grande diversidade de táxons,
organizadas em descrições e ilustrações
de fácil entendimento. Esta série tem por objetivo fornecer
informações práticas que permitam a identificação
desses invertebrados, sem, no entanto, a pretensão de representar
um levantamento completo para a região. No momento, existe um
crescente conflito de interesses entre a exploração dos
recursos naturais e a sua conservação, seja das espécies
e/ou de seus habitats, e a pergunta mais freqüentemente propagada
nos meios de comunicação é: “Desenvolvimento
ou proteção da beleza natural e diversidade?”. Nesse
contexto, a utilização e importância desse manual
são extensivas a programas de avaliação de impactos
ambientais, de conservação e de manejo, fornecendo condições
para facilitar o reconhecimento desses organismos marinhos e, portanto,
subsídios de suma importância aos tomadores de decisão.
Considerando o grande volume de material que deverá ser produzido
por diferentes especialistas, optou-se por publicar esta série
em vários volumes, que se complementarão ao longo do processo.
Neste volume são apresentadas 185 pranchas (Mollusca: Polyplacophora
e Bivalvia, Annelida: Polychaeta, Echinodermata: Ophiuroidea e Brachiopoda)
preparadas pelos especialistas com base em material procedente dos programas
BIOTA/FAPESP–Bentos Marinho, REVIZEE/Score Sul-Bentos e de outros
programas afins. O conteúdo está organizado na forma de
capítulos, cada um correspondente a um filo. Grupos com amplo
número de espécies poderão ser abordados em diferentes
volumes, sempre agrupados por família, de modo a permitir comparações
entre estruturas semelhantes. O conjunto das informações
que constam nas pranchas foi elaborado no sentido de se buscar uma harmonia
entre as descrições e ilustrações, de forma
a facilitar o seu uso. A linguagem é simples e didática,
respeitando-se os termos taxonômicos básicos necessários
para a identificação de cada grupo, mas evitando descrições
longas e minuciosas, além de citações bibliográficas.
Com o resultado desse enorme esforço de pós-graduandos
e pesquisadores sistematas de diferentes universidades, cidades, estados
e países, a idéia é oferecer um instrumento de
consulta rápida e acessível para a sociedade em geral,
que sintetize as informações básicas e indique
as características importantes para a identificação
de cada espécie.

CA018-03 Ants as seed dispersers of non-myrmecochorous
diaspores in Brazilian Atlantic forests
Passos L, Oliveira P*
Ants can transport fallen fruits that have fallen from parent plants,
acting as primary seed dispersers, or fruits and seeds dropped by vertebrate
frugivores, serving as secondary seed dispersers. In either case, ant-mediated
seed dispersal can affect plant recruitment. In this chapter we provide
an overview of our recent findings on ant-seed interactions, and the
possible consequences of the interactions for plants. We also examine
how these interactions vary spatially by comparing the patterns of selected
ant-seed interactions occurring at our two main study areas in the Brazilian
Atlantic forest. Possible causes underlying such patterns are examined
and discussed, and avenues of future research are suggested.

CA019-03 Multitrophic interactions in a neotropical
savanna: Ant-hemipteran systems, associated insect herbivores, and a
host plant
Oliveira PS*, Del-Claro K
We here report on our research on ant-plant-herbivore interactions in
the cerrado savanna of Brazil, with special emphasis on ant-Hemiptera
interactions and their effects on associated insect herbivores. We first
present the natural history of the system, report experimental data
supporting ant-derived benefits to hemipterans, and describe the relevant
behavioural aspects involving the participant species. In the second
part we examine the ways through which ant-hemipteran associations can
affect damage from different types of associated herbivores, illustrate
the intricacy of the effects, and infer the consequences of such multitrophic
systems for the host plant. Finally, we emphasize the relevance of multitrophic
systems for community ecology and conservation of biodiversity.

CA022-03 Nitric Oxide Signaling in Plant Defence Responses
to Pathogen Attack
Salgado I*, Saviani EE, Modolo LV, Braga MR
NO, a signaling molecule implicated in several physiological and pathological
processes in animals, has recently emerged as a pleiotropic effector
in plants. During the last few years, an increase body of evidence has
shown that NO may act as an important messenger in plant growth, development,
and defence against pathogens. Our understanding of how NO mediates
these physiological events is just beginning and many essential questions
still remain unanswered. NO production has been detected in several
species, but the molecular mechanism responsible for its synthesis in
plants is still controversial. NO was shown to interact with H2O2 to
mediate the hypersensitive response (HR) and to induce transcriptional
activation of defence-related genes, such as those encoding phenylalanine
ammonia-lyase (PAL) and chalcone synthase (CHS), key enzymes in the
phenylpropanoid pathway that leads to the synthesis of phytoalexins
in many plants. Furthermore, NO evoked the synthesis of SA and gene
transcription of the pathogenesis-related protein (PR-1), both of which
are involved in systemic defences. In this article, we discuss recent
advances in our knowledge about the activity of NO in plants, with special
emphasis on its role in plant defence responses against pathogens.

CA023-03 Nitric Oxide Signal Transduction in Plant
Programmed Cell Death
Salgado I*, Magalhaes JR, Saviani EE, Modolo LV
Recent evidence has shown that nitric oxide (NO) is a necessary signal
for triggering programmed cell death (PCD) in plants. Some of the biochemical
events in NO-induced PCD in plants have been identified and indicate
a signaling cascade by which NO induces apoptotic-like cell death that
begins with the mitochondria. By inhibiting mitochondrial electron transport,
NO causes collapse of the inner membrane electrical potential, which
leads to opening of the mitochondrial permeability transition pore and
the consequent release of cytochrome c. Caspase-like activity is increased
following exposure to NO. Subsequent to mitochondrial dysfunction and
the activation of caspase-like proteases, NO causes chromatin condensation,
nuclear DNA fragmentation and cell death. Cytochrome c oxidase and the
mitochondrial permeability transition pore are primary targets of NO
during plant PCD. However, based on data from animals, various other
NO-reactive sites exist in mitochondrial proteins, although the sensitivity
of these sites to NO has not yet been examined. In addition, plants
express unique electron transport components that are not found in the
mitochondria of most other organisms. It will therefore be necessary
to determine whether NO interacts with these complexes and the relevance
of such an interaction in inhibiting cellular respiration.

CA024-03 Production of Nitric Oxide in Plants by Nitric
Oxide Synthase Enzymes
Salgado I*, Modolo LV, Magalhães JR, Tamashiro WMSC, Saviani
EE
Considerable evidence that nitric oxide (NO) and its derivatives play
major roles in mammals has led to an interest in the actions of these
molecules in plant metabolism. The ubiquitous distribution of nitric
oxide synthases (NOS) in mammalian cells has stimulated the search for
an equivalent enzyme in plants. NOS-like activity has been found in
many plants and NO has been shown to influence various developmental
processes and to have a role in plant defense responses against pathogens.
Several of the major NO targets characterized in animals also have found
similar actions in plants. These results indicate that NO is a fundamental
signaling molecule for plant metabolism, as it is in animals. This review
will focus mainly on the evidence for the presence of nitric oxide synthase-like
enzymes in plants, with emphasis on the parallels that have been found
between NO molecular targets in plants and animals.

CA025-03 Nitric oxide produced by Nitrate Reductase
in Higher Plants
Magalhaes JR, Filomena, Silva FLIM, Salgado I*, Ferrarese-Filho O, Rockel
P, Kaiser WM
Nitric oxide (NO) synthesis is well known to result from the oxidation
of L-arginine by a family of NO synthases (NOS) in mammalians. However,
NO synthesis is also formed by NOS independent mechanisms, not only
in higher plants, but also in algae, fungi and bacteria. A number of
studies have indicated that plant cells possess a nitrite-dependent
NO production pathway that can be distinguished from the NOS-mediated
reactions. This chapter focuses on current understanding of the mechanism
for the nitrite-dependent NO production in plants. Various methods for
detecting NO production and emission from plants and plant tissues are
summarized. The capacity of NR for NO production and the regulatory
properties of NR in context with observed complex patterns of NO production
by plants in response to environmental factors and stress conditions
is described.
