Background and Objective: Tuba plants is a small flowering shrub originating in the humid rainforest of Malaysia. Tuba plants is known to contain the chemical rotenone, which is have an insecticidal properties. The objectives of this study were conducted to identify the Tuba plants and quantify their rotenone contents. Materials and Methods: Nine tuba plants of different local names were collected from various locations in Peninsular Malaysia. Random Amplification of Polymorphic DNA (RAPD) and internal transcribed spacer (ITS) marker of 9 Tuba plant accessions were used to identify the species. Results: Both methods were equally adequate for Tuba plants species identification. Four different species were obtained from nine accessions and they were Derris elliptica, Paraderris elliptica, Fordia splendidissima and Paraderris piscatoria. These species are the new record in Peninsular Malaysia. All accessions contained rotenone with the concentration varying from 0.25-1.02 μg mL–1. The highest rotenone content, 1.02 μg mL–1 was from D. elliptica (Tuba merah). This indicated that the two techniques (RAPD and ITS) are equally appropriate for the analysis of genetic diversity in Tuba plants. Conclusion: The study will provide information for the conservation of Tuba plants and further improvement of rotenone contents.

Our objective was to correlate colour with total phenoliccompounds, total flavonoids and antioxidant capacity of honeyfrom the Humid Chaco region. With this purpose, 19 representativesamples were selected from the 2009-2012 year period. Pollenanalysis showed a predominance of native species of differentlandscapes such as forests and wetlands. Of the total number ofsamples, eleven were mixed or multifloral and eight samples weredominated by different native nectariferous woody species. The colourof honey, according to the Pfund scale, ranged from extra lightamber to dark amber. Total phenolic content ranged from 40.18 to118.82 mg GAE/100 g honey. Flavonoid content varied between6.94 and 67.76 mg QE/100 g honey, and antioxidant capacity, evaluatedby the DPPH radical method, between 17.36% and 56.53%.Extra light and light amber honeys had lower levels of total phenoliccompounds, total flavonoids, and antioxidant capacity than amberand dark honeys. The correlation observed between colour andflavonoids (r=0.78) was higher than that between colour and totalphenols (r=0.53). A direct relationship between phenolic contentand antioxidant capacity (r=0.91) was found. The studied honeys, ascompared to honeys from other regions, were rich in flavonoids andshow a noticeable antioxidant activity. It is important to take intoaccount these features for human health.

Two field experiments were carried out in a semiaridregion of Argentina over a soybean (Glycine max L. Merrill) field.The sites of study were San Adolfo (39˚ 23’ S, 62˚ 22’ W, 22 m.a.s.l.)and Nueva Roma (38˚ 29’ S, 62˚ 39’ W, 70 m.a.s.l.). Soybeans wereplanted on Jan 4 (San Adolfo) and Nov 27 (Nueva Roma) in 0.75m wide rows and at 400000 pl/ha during two consecutive growingseasons. Energy balance and evapotranspiration (ET) were estimatedduring the reproductive stages from full bloom (R2) to fullmaturity (R8). In Nueva Roma ET or latent heat flux (LE) was estimatedusing the Bowen ratio-energy balance (BREB) (LEb) and thePriestley-Taylor equation (LEPT) with αPT=1.26, 48 h after irrigationor rain. Both methods could be used to predict ET since the ratioLEb/LEPT ranged between 0.83 and 0.95. The observed Bowen ratiovalues were almost 0 during and after rain and increased to approximately0.45 several days after rain. In San Adolfo LE was estimatingusing the Priestley-Taylor equation. For both sites the regressionanalysis for comparison available energy (Rn-G) and LE usingBREB or LEPT indicated that, approximately 90% of the availableenergy was consumed by LE without detecting significative advectiveconditions.
在阿根廷半干旱地区的大豆(Glycine max L. Merrill)田间进行了两项田间试验。研究地点为San Adolfo(39˚23′S, 62˚22′W, 22 m.a.s.l.)和Nueva Roma(38˚29′S, 62˚39′W, 70 m.a.s.l.)。大豆在1月4日(圣阿道夫)和11月27日(新罗马)连续两个生长季节种植，每行宽0.75米，产量为40万pl/ha。测定了从开花(R2)到成熟(R8)各生殖阶段的能量平衡和蒸散量(ET)。在灌溉或降雨后48 h，采用Bowen比值-能量平衡(BREB) (LEb)和priestley - taylor方程(LEPT) (αPT=1.26)估算了Nueva Roma的ET或潜热通量(LE)。这两种方法都可以用来预测ET，因为比值在0.83和0.95之间。降雨期间和雨后观测到的波温比几乎为0，雨后几天增加到0.45左右。在圣阿道夫，LE使用普利斯特里-泰勒方程进行估计。对于这两个站点，使用breb或LEPT对有效能量(r - g)和LE进行比较的回归分析表明，在没有检测到显著平流条件的情况下，大约90%的有效能量被LE消耗。
