Item Efeito da aplicação foliar de ácidos graxos na "via das lipoxigenases" de plantas de soja(Química Nova, 2002-11) Batista, Rosa Bárbara; Oliveira, Maria Goreti de Almeida; Pires, Christiano Vieira; Lanna, Anna Cristina; Gomes, Maria Regina Araújo; José, Inês Chamel; Piovesan, Newton Deniz; Rezende, Sebastião Tavares de; Moreira, Maurilio AlvesThe involvement of lipoxygenase isozymes in several physiological processes of plants has been described but their role is not well understood and more biochemical studies are needed to elucidate the role of the "Lipoxygenase Pathway" in plant physiology. Thus, the biochemical and kinetic characterization of a lipoxygenases "pool" from soybean leaves was carried out. Two genotypes were used: IAC-100 (a normal variety having lipoxygenases in the seeds) and IAC-100 TN (genetically modified genotype, which is devoid of lipoxygenases in the seeds). The plants were submitted to the application of fatty acids (lipoxygenase substrates) on leaves. The results of the biochemical and kinetic studies of lipoxygenase isozymes from leaves of the two genotypes analysed showed that genetic removal of lipoxygenase from seeds did not affect the response of the plant to the treatment, since both genotypes showed similar results.Item Low linolenic soybeans for biodiesel: Characteristics, performance and advantages(Fuel, 2012-06-16) Santos, Eleonice Moreira; Piovesan, Newton Deniz; Barros, Everaldo Gonçalves de; Moreira, Maurilio AlvesSoybean is one of the main raw materials used for biodiesel production. However, the polyunsaturated fatty acids present in soybean seeds are not desirable for this purpose due to their low oxidative stability. Therefore, it is expected that the use of soybean cultivars with low linolenic acid content for biodiesel production will improve its oxidative stability and the cold filter plugging point (CFPP). This work presents the main characteristics, the advantages and performance of low linolenic acid soybean (LL) as compared to a conventional soybean variety (CO) for biodiesel production. The results showed that LL oil and protein contents were similar to those of CO. Phosphatide concentration was higher in LL oil, while total tocopherol content was lower in relation to CO. With respect to LL biodiesel performance, oxidative stability was much higher than that produced from CO, and the CFPP did not change even with the improved fatty acid profile of LL.
