Rutin synthase in fava d'anta: Purification and influence of stressors
Fundação de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado de São Paulo (FAPESP)Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico (CNPq)Lucci, N. and Mazzafera, P. 2009. Rutin synthase in fava d'anta: Purification and influence of stressors. Can. J. Plant Sci. 89: 895-902. The flavonoid rutin is synthesized in plants from quercetin, via a process in which isoquercitrin is an intermediary metabolite. In this work, the activities of isoquercitrin synthase and rutin synthase, and the quercetin, isoquercitrin and rutin contents of fava d'anta plants stressed for water (drought and flooding) and salt (NaCl) were studied. In general, stress increased the contents of the three compounds and both enzyme activities. semi-purified rutin synthase and isoquercitrin synthase showed Kin values of 1.816 and 2.10 mu M, respectively, with optimum reaction pHs of 5 and 7., respectively, and an optimum reaction temperature of 35 degrees C. Rutin synthase was purified from leaf buds and showed an apparent molecular mass of 39 KDa by SDS-PAGE. Mass spectrometry analysis of the purified protein did not reveal any similarity to the few known sequenced glycosyltransferases.895895902Fundação de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado de São Paulo (FAPESP)Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico (CNPq)Fundação de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado de São Paulo (FAPESP)Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico (CNPq)FAPESP [05/57193-9
Pilocarpine And Related Alkaloids In Pilocarpus Vahl (rutaceae)
Pilocarpine is mainly known as a drug for the treatment of glaucoma and it is also used as a stimulant of sweat and lachrymal glands. Species of the genus Pilocarpus are collectively named jaborandi in Brazil and their leaves are the only known source of this imidazole alkaloid. Pilocarpine is mainly obtained from two species, Pilocarpus microphyllus and Pilocarpus jaborandi and, despite the economical and pharmacological importance of this alkaloid, very little is known about pilocarpine, from basic information on the contents in different jaborandi species and plant tissues to the biosynthetic route and the metabolic control. This review will focus briefly on the genus jaborandi, then on what is known about pilocarpine biosynthesis followed by possible biotechnological applications aiming to produce the alkaloid in vitro. Finally, the alkaloids found in this genus, their plant sources and pharmacological applications will be reviewed. © 2010 Nova Science Publishers, Inc.6380Abreu, I.N., Andreazza, N.L., Sawaya, A.C.H.F., Eberlin, M.N., Mazzafera, P., Cell suspension as a tool to study the biosynthesis of pilocarpine in Jaborandi (2007) Plant Biology, 9, pp. 793-799Abreu, I.N., Mazzafera, P., Eberlin, M.N., Zullo, M.A.T., Sawaya, A.C.H.F., Characterization of the variation of the imidazole alkaloid profile of Pilocarpus microphyllus in different seasons and parts of the plant by electrospray ionization mass spectrometry fingerprinting and identification of novel alkaloids by tandem mass spectrometry (2007) Rapid Commun.

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
The present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Carbon Fixation And Partitioning In Coffee Seedlings Infested With Pratylenchus Coffeae
The objective was to study CO 2 fixation and photoassimilate partition in coffee (Coffea arabica) seedlings infested with the lesion nematode Pratylenchus coffeae. Seedlings infested with 0, 1000 and 8000 Pratylenchus coffeae nematodes were exposed to 14CO 2 and the incorporation and distribution of radioactivity were followed in the roots, stems and leaves. Fresh mass, pigments, soluble sugars, sucrose and specific radioactivity of sucrose in the plant parts were determined. At the highest level of infestation almost all the parameters were significantly changed showing the carbon fixation in the leaves and partitioning to the roots were decreased. Since lesion nematodes are not sedentary and do not form feeding sites that could be characterised as metabolic sinks, it is suggested that their damage is more readily expressed by the leaves, through a reduction in photosynthesis and phloem transport.1108861865Bird, A.F., Loveys, B.R., The incorporation of photosynthates by Meloidogyne javanica (1975) Journal of Nematology, 7, pp. 111-113Campos, V.P., Sivapalan, P., Gnanapragasam, N.C., Nematode parasites of coffee, cocoa and tea (1990) Plant Parasitic Nematodes in Subtropical and Tropical Agriculture, pp. 387-430. , Luc M, Sikora RA and Bridge J (eds) CAB International, Wallingford, UKCarneiro, R.G., Mazzafera, P., Ferraz, L.C.C.B., Carbon partitioning in soybean infected with Meloidogyne incognita and M. javanica (2000) Journal of Nematology, 31, pp. 348-355Chaplin, M.F., Monosaccharides (1986) Carbohydrate Analysis: A Pratical Approach, pp. 1-36. , Chaplin, MF and Kennedy JF (eds) IRL Press, Oxford, Washington DCDavies, E., Plant Responses to wounding (1987) Physiology of Metabolism, pp. 243-264. , Davies DD (ed) Academic Press, New YorkDubois, M.K., Giller, K.A., Hamilton, J.K., Ribers, P.A., Smith, T., Colorimetric method for determination of sugars and related substances (1956) Analytical Chemistry, 28, pp. 360-365Duncan, L.W., Inserra, R.N., Thomas, W.K., Dunn, D., Mustika, I., Frisse, L.M., Mendes, M.L., Kaplan, D.T., Molecular and morphological analyses of isolates of Pratylenchus coffeae and closely related species (1999) Nematropica, 29, pp. 61-80Edwards, D.I., Wehunt, E.J., Hosts of Pratylenchus coffeae with additions from Central American banana-producing areas (1973) Plant Disease Reporter, 57, pp. 47-50Hussey, R.S., Host-parasite relationships and associated physiological changes (1985) An Advanced Treatise on Meloidogyne, 1, pp. 143-153. , Sasser JN and Carter CC (eds), North Caroline State University Graphics, RaleighInomoto, M.M., Oliveira, C.M.G., Mazzafera, P., Gonçalves, W., Effects of Pratylenchus brachyurus and P. coffeae on seedlings of Coffea arabica (1998) Journal of Nematology, 30, pp. 362-367Inserra, R.N., Duncan, L.W., Troccoli, A., Dunn, D., Maia Dos Santos, J., Kaplan, D., Vovlas, N., Pratylenchus jaehni sp. n. from citrus in Brazil and its relationship with P. coffeae and P. loosi (Nematoda: Pratylenchidae) (2001) Nematology, 3, pp. 653-665Kubo, R.K., Silva, R.A., Tomazini, M.D., Oliveira, C.M.G., Mazzafera, P., Inomoto, M.M., Patogenicidade de Pratylenchus coffeae em plântulas de cafeeiro cv.

Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
We provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
