Coffee is one of the most valuable agricultural commodities and ranks second on international trade exchanges. The genus Coffea belongs to the Rubiaceae family which includes other important plants. The genus contains about 100 species but commercial production is based only on two species, Coffea arabica and Coffea canephora that represent about 70 % and 30 % of the total coffee market, respectively. The Brazilian Coffee Genome Project was designed with the objective of making modern genomics resources available to the coffee scientific community, working on different aspects of the coffee production chain. We have single-pass sequenced a total of 214,964 randomly picked clones from 37 cDNA libraries of C. arabica, C. canephora and C. racemosa, representing specific stages of cells and plant development that after trimming resulted in 130,792, 12,381 and 10,566 sequences for each species, respectively. The ESTs clustered into 17,982 clusters and 32,155 singletons. Blast analysis of these sequences revealed that 22 % had no significant matches to sequences in the National Center for Biotechnology Information database (of known or unknown function). The generated coffee EST database resulted in the identification of close to 33,000 different unigenes. Annotated sequencing results have been stored in an online database at http: //www.lge.ibi.unicamp.br/cafe. Resources developed in this project provide genetic and genomic tools that may hold the key to the sustainability, competitiveness and future viability of the coffee industry in local and international markets.

Para isso, foram seqüenciados 214.964 clones escolhidos aleatoriamente de 37 bibliotecas de cDNA de C. arabica, C. canephora e C. racemosa representando estádios específicos do desenvolvimento de células e de tecidos do cafeeiro, resultando em 130.792, 12.381 e 10.566 seqüências de cada espécie, respectivamente, após processo de trimagem. Os ESTs foram agrupados em 17.982 contigs e em 32.155 singletons. A comparação destas seqüências pelo programa BLAST revelou que 22 % não tiveram nenhuma similaridade significativa às seqüências no banco de dados do National Center for Biotechnology Information (de função conhecida ou desconhecida).

Immature inflorescences of oil palm (Elaeis guineensis) var. Pisifera were inoculated onto modified MS medium containing 0.3% (w/v) activated charcoal and 475 μM 2,4-D. After 2-3 months of culture, a hard yellow callus proliferated at the base of the shoot-like structures. The high incidence of phenolic oxidation required the use of increased levels of activated charcoal (0.5% w/v) and 2,4-D (500 μM). Development of floral structures from inflorescence expiants was frequently observed during the culture period. After 81 weeks of culture, an embryogenic tissue characterized by compact consistency and pearly white color was observed in tissues derived from very young inflorescences. This compact embryogenic tissue differentiated into normal somatic embryos when transferred onto regeneration medium containing NAA (15 μM) and ABA (2 μM). Normal plantlets were recovered from these somatic embryos after 8 weeks on regeneration medium.
Resumo -O objetivo deste trabalho foi indicar caracteres anatômicos em folhas de plantas micropropagadas de abacaxizeiro, visando ao aperfeiçoamento do protocolo de aclimatação. Utilizaram-se plântulas micropropagadas in vitro e aclimatadas por seis e dez meses, apresentando, em média, 3,1, 50,2 e 65 g, respectivamente. A densidade estomática foi determinada na face abaxial da epiderme, nas regiões basal, mediana e apical da folha, usando o delineamento inteiramente casualizado em esquema fatorial de 2x3 (dois ambientes de cultivo e três regiões da folha), em seis repetições. A espessura da hipoderme, parênquimas aqüífero e clorofilado foi determinada na região mediana da folha, usando-se o delineamento inteiramente casualizado com três tratamentos em quatro repetições. A estrutura básica da folha do abacaxizeiro não se modificou, entretanto, ocorreram diferenças na freqüência estomática, no espessamento da cutícula e paredes da epiderme, formato e sinuosidade das paredes das células do tecido aqüífero e presença de células papilosas nos diferentes ambientes de cultivo, indicando plasticidade fenotípica.Termos para indexação: Ananas comosus, ambiente de cultivo, micropropagação, aclimatação. Leaf anatomy of micropropagated pineapple plantsAbstract -The objective of this work was to study leaf anatomy of pineapple plants in order to improve acclimatization protocols. In vitro plantlets weighting an average of 3.1 g and greenhouse plantlets derived from in vitro stock material, after six and ten months of culture, weighting an average of 50.2 and 65 g, respectively, were used. Stomatal density was determined on the abaxial epidermis, at the basal, median, and apical portions of the leaf, using a completely randomized design under 2x3 factorial (two culture environments and three leaf regions) with six replicates. Thickness of the hypodermis, aquiferous and photosynthetic parenchyma were determined at the median portion of the leaf using a totally randomized design with three treatments and four replicates. The basic structure of the pineapple leaf under in vitro conditions did not change. However, stomatal frequency, cuticular and epidermal wall thickening, shape and sinuosity of the cell walls of aquiferous parenchyma and the presence of papillary cells were verified as a result of environmental conditions during culture, indicating phenotypic plasticity.
Immature zygotic embryos at different developmental stages were used for callus induction and regeneration studies. Immature embryos excised from fruits 77, 91, 100, 114, 128, 140 and 193 days after pollination and mature embryos were cultured on modified Y3 medium containing 500 mg 1 -~ cysteine, 0.5% (w/v) PVP-40, 500 p~M 2,4-D and 0.3% (w/v) charcoal. Compact embryogenic tissue began differentiating directly from embryo explants after 2 weeks of culture. The percentage of embryos forming compact embryogenic tissue ranged from 28.6% for 91-day-old embryos to 0% for 140-day-old and older embryos. Friable embryogenic tissue was observed in callus cultures derived from 100-day-old embryos. Although both compact and friable embryogenic tissues were successfully isolated, normal embryo and plantlet development was observed only from friable embryogenic tissue.Abbreviations: ABA-abscisic acid, 2,4-D-2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid, NAA-naphthaleneacetic acid, PVP -polyvinylpyrollidone
Primary globular callus from immature zygotic embryos and friable embryogenic tissue derived from mature zygotic embryos were used to establish suspension cultures. Callus cultures were established either on modified Y3 or MS medium containing 475-500 ttM 2,4-D or 250 paVl picloram and 0.3% (w/v) activated charcoal. Suspension cultures of both cell lines were established in modified Y3 medium containing 10 ~aM 2,4-D. The establishment of cell suspensions from friable embryogenic tissue took only 2 months, in contrast with suspensions from primary globular callus which took 3-5 months to establish. Embryo differentiation was observed only in cell suspensions derived from the friable embryogenic tissue after plating aliquots on regeneration medium. Germinated embryos were recovered and plantlets were successfully established under greenhouse conditions.
