The increases of TLA in plants subjected to 100 and 130% FC can be explained by the higher NL and especially by the increase in the expansion of the leaf blade area of each foliole. Within certain limits and when water is not a limiting factor, higher TLA must favor greater photosynthetic capacity of the plant, as a whole, for increasing the efficiency of interception of light energy, necessary to the photochemical stage of photosynthesis.
They, as well as all the simple leaves of ordinary appearance, are articulated with the petiole, and are therefore compound leaves reduced to a single foliole; whence the supposed genus Mahonia does not differ essentially from Berberis in foliage more than in fructification".
In the laboratory, one foliole per leaf was randomly selected, totalling 15 folioles per clone, which were washed with gentle brush stroke, in a 1.5% solution of sodium hypochlorite (2 min) for the removal of residues, including the eggs of other insects that could be found on the foliole surface.
Optimizing the enzymatic masceration of foliole puree from heart pieces of heart of palm (Euterpe edulis Mart.) using response surface analysis.
At each sampling date, seven leaves were taken from around the canopy of each selected tree up to seven to eight meters above ground; one foliole of each leaf was analyzed.
The levels of young leaf cuttings with 6 leaflets (folioles) and 6 leaflets (folioles) cut at 50% of their original size obtained higher survival rates with 90.0 and 60.0% respectively, differing statistically from the cuttings of adult plants with 6 and 6 cut leaflets to 50% with 35.0 and 20.0% survival, respectively (Table 2).
The total genomic DNA was extracted from approximately 100 mg of folioles by following the method Cetyl trimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) described by Doyle and Doyle (1987) with modifications: increased concentration of polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) from 1% to 2%, CTAB from 2% to 5% and [beta]-mercaptoethanol from 0.2% to 2%, furthermore the time of incubation at 65[degrees]C was reduced from 60 min to 30 min.
Further, carbohydrates produced from reserve lipids in oilseeds are distributed to the plant and utilized as carbon source until the chloroplasts begin to differentiate in the folioles and start photosynthesis.
Level 2 included palms with early RPW infestation symptoms mainly in the leaves, such as holes or notches in folioles and leaves, or missing folioles (Figs.
