Resumo: The plant metabolome is extremely diverse due to the extraordinary variety of secondary metabolites. Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy techniques in metabonomics have been used for the identification of metabolite presents in plants under stress. The work reported in this thesis aimed to evaluate the metabolic and physiological changes that occur in lettuce leaves, caused by aging, light and dark growth conditions and due to exposure to mancozeb pesticide. Lettuces were grown during four weeks, and then separated in two groups in order to study the light/dark conditions and mancozeb pesticide exposure during growth. For the light/dark conditions study some lettuces were exposed during one week to a light intensity of 200 ± 20 μmol.m–2.s–1 (control), and others to 20 ± 20 μmol.m–2.s–1 (dark conditions). In the pesticide assay, the mancozeb was applied to a set of lettuces and not to the other (control). After one week, young leaves (from the first node) and expanded leaves (from the apical node) were collected. In general, the results show that the leaf age, the light/dark conditions and the exposure to mancozeb influence the plant physiological performance, such as pigment concentration and photosynthetic efficiency, as well as the plant metabolomic composition. The results show that young leaves show higher contents of glucose and sucrose, and lower contents of malic and citric acids than expanded leaves, and there was no significant differences in the physiological parameters measured. In the dark, the lettuce leaves present a decreased in the photosynthetic performance, which was more marked in expanded leaves compared to young leaves, resulting in significant decreases of glucose and sucrose on these leaves. Moreover, exposure of lettuce leaves with mancozeb resulted in decrease in photosynthetic performance, more marked in expanded leaves than in young leaves, with accumulation of glucose and decrease in some amino acids and several organic acids.

A espectroscopia de ressonância magnética nuclear (RMN) é cada vez mais utilizada na metabonómica, na identificação dos metabolitos presentes nas plantas quando estas se encontram sob stress. O trabalho apresentado nesta tese teve como objetivo avaliar as alterações metabólicas e fisiológicas que ocorreram na folha da alface causadas pelo envelhecimento, por condições de crescimento na luz e no escuro e devido à exposição ao pesticida mancozebe. As alfaces cresceram durante quatro semanas, e foram depois separadas em dois grupos de forma a estudar as condições luz/escuro e exposição ao pesticida mancozebe durante o crescimento. No estudo das condições luz/escuro algumas alfaces foram expostas durante uma semana a luz de intensidade de 200 ± 20 μmol.m–2.s–1 (controlo) e outras a 20 ± 20 μmol.m–2.s–1 (condições no escuro). Nos ensaios com o pesticida, foi aplicado o mancozebe a um conjunto de alfaces e ao outro não (controlo). Após uma semana, recolheu-se as folhas novas (primeiro nó) e folhas expandidas (nó apical). Em geral, os resultados mostram que a idade da folha, as condições de luz e a exposição ao mancozebe influenciam, tanto o desempenho fisiológico da planta, ou seja, concentração de pigmentos e eficiência fotossintética, como a composição metabólica da planta. Os resultados mostram que as folhas jovens têm maiores teores de glucose e sacarose, e menor teor de ácido málico e cítrico que as folhas expandidas, e que não houve diferenças significativas nos parâmetros fisiológicos medidos. No escuro, as folhas de alface apresentam uma diminuição na performance fotossintética, que foi mais acentuada nas folhas expandidas em comparação com folhas jovens, resultando em reduções significativas de glucose e sacarose nessas folhas. Além disso, a exposição de folhas de alface ao mancozebe resultou na diminuição da performance fotossintética, mais acentuada em folhas expandidas do que nas folhas jovens, com acumulação de glucose e decréscimo de alguns aminoácidos e vários ácidos orgânicos.Universidade de Aveiro2012-04-17T10:22:43Z2011-01-01T00:00:00Z2011info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/masterThesisapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10773/8153engFigueiredo, Patrícia Isabel Duarte deinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessreponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAP2023-07-17T03:28:48ZPortal AgregadorONG
