Indole-3-acetic acid producing root-associated bacteria on growth of Brazil Pine (Araucaria angustifolia) and Slash Pine (Pinus elliottii).

Araucaria forests in Brazil today correspond to only 0.7 % of the original 200 km(2) of natural forest that covered a great part of the southern and southeastern area of the Atlantic Forest and, although Araucaria angustifolia is an endangered species, illegal exploitation is still going on. As an alternative to the use of hardwoods, Pinus elliottii presents rapid growth and high tolerance to climatic stress and low soil fertility or degraded areas.

Sample preparation and biostatistics for integrated genomics approaches.

Genomics is based on the ability to determine the transcriptome, proteome, and metabolome of a cell. These technologies only have added value when they are integrated and based on robust and reproducible workflows. This chapter describes the experimental design, sampling, sample pretreatment, data evaluation, integration, and interpretation.

Biomimetic approach to extensive fracture of anterior teeth--a case report.

The fracture of anterior teeth in children and adolescents is a common injury. When most tooth structure is compromised and the broken fragment is not recovered, its restoration can become rather complex to both dentist and dental technician. Restoration of single anterior elements is one of the most demanding challenges in fixed prosthodontics.

Isolation, selection and characterization of root-associated growth promoting bacteria in Brazil Pine (Araucaria angustifolia).

Araucaria angustifolia, a unique species of this genus that occurs naturally in Brazil, has a high socio-economic and environmental value and is critically endangered of extinction, since it has been submitted to intense predatory exploitation during the last century. Root-associated bacteria from A. angustifolia were isolated, selected and characterized for their biotechnological potential of growth promotion and biocontrol of plant pathogenic fungi.
