-Jaíba Project is an irrigation enterprise and its forest reserve is one of the largest protected areas of dry deciduous forest of Caatinga. However, two accidental fires burned about 90% of the area, resulting on the elimination of the trees. This study intended to evaluate the effects of dual inoculation with Rhizobium and mycorrhizal fungi on growth of Anadenanthera peregrina and its contribution to intercropped native species (Myracrodruon urundeuva Fr. Allem., Schinopsis brasiliensis Engl. and Acacia sp.) and to increase the soil nutrients through litter decomposition as a strategy for the restoration of the reserve. The plants of Anadenanthera peregrina which were inoculated with rhizobia strain BHICB-A10 and associated with AM, showed a significant increase in height and total nitrogen content over that uninoculated plants. In plots where A. peregrina was inoculated, growth and survival of intercropped plants as Myracrodruon urundeuva, were favoured. This result may be explained by the faster decomposition rate of M. urundeuva litter and by the increase of soil nutrients which was related with its lowest lignocellulous content. The mixture of A. peregrina with M. urundeuva was the best model for restoration.bradyrhizobia / mycorrhizal fungi / Anadenanthera peregrina / semiarid / Caatinga Résumé -Croissance et décomposition de la litière d'espèces ligneuses inoculées avec des rhizobia et des champignons mycorhiziens à arbuscules dans le Brésil semi-aride. Dans la réserve de forêt sèche de Caatinga, zone d'application du Projet Jaíba pour le développement socio-économique de cette région semi-aride du Brésil, deux feux accidentels ont brûlé environ 90 % des arbres. La stratégie de restauration de la réserve réside dans la possibilité d'augmenter l'apport d'éléments minéraux au sol par l'installation de cultures mixtes d'espèces ligneuses fixatrices et non fixatrices. L'étude a eu pout but d'évaluer les effets de la double inoculation de Anadenanthera peregrina par des souches de Bradyrhizobium et de champignon mycorhizien à arbuscules sur la croissance de cet arbre et de celle des autres espèces associées natives de cette région (Myracrodruon urundeuva Fr. Allem., Schinopsis brasiliensis Engl. et l'Acacia sp.). Les effets possibles de cette inoculation sur la capacité des arbres à augmenter la disponibilité des éléments minéraux du sol provenant de la décomposition des litières de ces arbres pourraient aider à la restauration de la réserve. La double inoculation entraîne une augmentation significative de la hauteur d'Anadenanthera peregrina et des autres espèces associées ainsi que leur teneur en azote et leur taux de survie, particulièrement en ce qui concerne M. urundeuva. Le taux de décomposition plus rapide des feuilles de M. urundeuva pourrait être attribué à un plus faible contenu ligno-cellulosique. L'association de A. peregrina avec M. urundeuva représente le meilleur modèle à utiliser dans les problèmes de restauration des sols. bradyrhizobia / champignon mycorhizien à arbuscules / Anadena...

Purpose: This article presents a narrative review of current recommendations for the clinical evaluation and management of adult patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) to identify points missing from a myofunctional perspective. Methods: The authors reviewed current official guidelines for adult patients with OSA, searching clinical evaluation and treatment recommendations for myofunctional therapy. Results: None of the current guidelines for evaluation of adult OSA recommend performing a myofunctional evaluation. Only two guidelines consider myofunctional therapy (MFT) as a treatment modality for adult patients with OSA. Conclusion: Despite the role of the pharyngeal dilator muscles as an essential contributor to the pathogenesis of OSA, this review has shown that myofunctional assessment is still not a standard recommendation in current guidelines for adult OSA. Recent guidelines occasionally include MFT as a therapeutic tool for OSA. To strengthen the knowledge base and evidence for including MFT treatment for adult patients with OSA, the authors encourage physicians to incorporate myofunctional evaluation into their regular clinical practice.

Interest in the efficient production of soybean, as one of the most important crop plants, is significantly increas-ing, worldwide. Soybean symbioses, the most important biological process affecting soybean yield and protein content, were revitalized due to the need for sustainable agricultural practices. Similar to many crop species, soybean can establish symbiotic associations with the soil bacteria rhizobia, and with the soil fungi, arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi, and other bene-ficial rhizospheric microorganisms are often applied as biofertilizers. Microbial interactions may importantly affect soybean production and plant health by activating different genomic pathways in soybean. Genomic research is the important tool, which may be used to elucidate and enhance the mechanisms controlling such actions and interactions. This review presents the available details on the genomic research favoring higher soybean production. Accordingly, new technologies applied to plant rhizosphere and symbiotic microbiota, root-plant endophytes, and details about the genetic composition of soybean inoculant strains are highlighted. Such details may be effectively used to enhance soybean growth and yield, under different conditions including stress resulting in a more sustainable production of soybean.
