This study proposes to characterize hydrated and refrigerated mucilage obtained from cladodes of clones of prickly pear cactus harvested during the drizzle and dry seasons in the semiarid of Brazil. Cladodes of Opuntia stricta [Haw.] Haw (Orelha de Elefante Mexicana [OEM] clone) and Nopalea cochenillifera Salm Dyck (IPA Sertânia [IPA] and Miúda [MIU] clones) were harvested at 6 am and extracted mucilage. The main bands in the infrared region were characterized. Physicochemical analyses were performed on day zero and at 12 days. Cladodes harvested in the dry season showed higher mucilage yield and soluble solid, total soluble carbohydrate, and K+, for the three clones. The OEM clone also exhibited significant increases in pH, Na+, and electrical conductivity when harvested in the dry season than in the wet season. In addition, the mucilage extracted from the Opuntia cladodes did not have changes in the carbohydrate, titratable acidity, or total soluble protein levels. The IPA and MIU clones, in turn, were characterized by parameters that remained stable during conservation (phenolic compounds, titratable acidity, K+ and Na+). The spectroscopic profile was similar for all studied clones. The principal component analysis allowed the formation of clusters between seasons and conservation times. It is suggested that the cladodes of the genus Nopalea showed better potential in the manufacture of edible films and coatings. The cladodes of the genus Opuntia, for the use of mucilage as ingredients in foods such as bread, pasta, and others, making them with better functional properties. Therefore, these factors should be considered for the use of mucilage in the industry.
这项研究提出了对从巴西半干旱地区雨季和旱季收获的刺梨仙人掌无性系分支中获得的水合和冷藏粘液进行表征。早上6点收获严格仙人掌[Haw.]Haw（Orelha de Elefante Mexicana[OM]克隆）和胭脂虫Salm Dyck（IPA Sertânia[IPA]和Miúda[MIU]克隆）的枝节，并提取粘液。对红外区的主要波段进行了表征。在第0天和第12天进行理化分析。三个无性系在旱季收获的枝节表现出较高的粘液产量和可溶性固体、总可溶性碳水化合物和K+。当在旱季收获时，OEM克隆的pH、Na+和电导率也比在雨季显著增加。此外，从仙人掌分支中提取的粘液在碳水化合物、可滴定酸度或总可溶性蛋白质水平上没有变化。IPA和MIU克隆的特征依次是在保存过程中保持稳定的参数（酚类化合物、可滴定酸度、K+和Na+）。所有研究克隆的光谱图谱相似。主成分分析允许在季节和保护时间之间形成集群。结果表明，Nopalea属的分支在制备可食用薄膜和涂层方面显示出更好的潜力。仙人掌属的分支，用于将粘液用作面包、意大利面等食物的原料，使其具有更好的功能特性。因此，在行业中使用粘液时应考虑这些因素。

This study aimed to evaluate the agronomic parameters and the chemical composition of the cactus pear variety Doce (Nopalea cochenillifera) in different Brazilian savannah localities, subjected to different nitrogen fertilization strategies. A randomized block design was used in this experiment, with a 2× 4 × 2 factorial arrangement with five replications. The factors corresponded to two application frequencies of nitrogen fertilization (30 days and 30/60 days), four nitrogen doses (0, 100, 200, 400 kg ha-1 year-1), and two cactus pear cultivation localities, with Locality 1 corresponding to the municipality of Curimatá and Locality 2 corresponding to the municipality of Riacho Frio. After one year of cultivation, there was no interaction (P>0.05) for frequency × doses × locality, doses × locality, and frequency × doses. The means observed for fresh and dry matter production varied from 57.0 to 68.0±2.9 t ha-1 and from 2.4 to 3.7±0.2 t ha-1, respectively. There was an interaction (P<0.05) between frequency × locality for fresh matter production, dry matter production, water-use efficiency, water accumulation, and carrying capacity. For the chemical composition, there was an interaction (P<0.01) between frequency × dose for the mineral content matter. Fertilization splitting associated with the highest nitrogen application dose resulted in better performance for the cactus pear variety of Doce grown in the Brazilian savannah region.
研究了不同氮肥处理下巴西热带草原不同地区仙人掌梨品种Doce (Nopalea cochenillifera)的农艺参数和化学成分。本试验采用随机区组设计，2× 4 × 2因子排列，5个重复。这些因子对应于2个施氮频率(30天和30/60天)、4个施氮剂量(0、100、200、400 kg hm -1 -1)和2个仙人掌梨种植地点，其中地点1对应于curimat市，地点2对应于Riacho Frio市。培养1年后，频率×剂量×地点、剂量×地点、频率×剂量无交互作用(P>0.05)。鲜物质和干物质产量平均值分别为57.0 ~ 68.0±2.9 t ha-1和2.4 ~ 3.7±0.2 t ha-1。鲜物质产量、干物质产量、水分利用效率、水分积累量和承载能力与频率×地点之间存在交互作用(P<0.05)。在化学成分上，矿物含量与频率与剂量之间存在显著的交互作用(P<0.01)。在巴西萨凡纳地区种植的Doce仙人掌梨品种中，施肥分配与最高施氮量相关的效果较好。

Optimum concentrations and/or sufficiency ranges of nutrients are useful for correct diagnosis and improvements of nutrient status of cultivated plants. However, Opuntia ficus-indica nutrient storage at plant and cladode levels and best fit plant requirements for fruiting remain practically unknown. Then, this research work aimed to identify the Boundary-Line Approach (B-LA) micronutrient optimum concentrations linked to maximum fruit yield per one-year old fructification cladode and sufficiency ranges at 90% maximum fruit yield for O. ficus-indica variety ‘Rojo Pelón’. Four years (2012 – 2015) data of fruit yield per cladode and micronutrient concentrations (B, Cu, Fe, Mn, and Zn) were used for the elaboration of scatter diagrams (n = 228) and selection of 7 to 10 points to estimate the B-LA quadratic functions. Then, the vertices allowed estimation of the optimum micronutrient concentrations: B = 33.62 mg kg–1, Cu =11.74 mg kg–1, Fe = 108.51 mg kg–1, Mn = 149.33 mg kg–1 and Zn = 414.91 mg kg–1 as linked to estimated maximum yield per cladode; and the sufficiency ranges at 90% maximum fruit yield: B = 24.44 to 46.25 mg kg–1, Cu = 8.68 – 15.87 mg kg–1, Fe = 73.73 – 143.3 mg kg–1, Mn = 114.89 – 183.77 mg kg–1 and Zn = 334.31 – 514.95 mg kg–1. The linked estimated maximum fruit yield per cladode varies from 1999.48 g to 2139.59 g. The proposed B-LA standards can be used to perform reliable micronutrient diagnosis and proper fertilization recommendations.

Environmental disruption is particularly determinant for cacti development since they have slow growth and long life cycles. Soil and water salinity are two of the main environmental factors that are considered primordial for the propagation, seedling growth, establishment, and development of coastal cacti. The objective of this study was to evaluate chirinola (Stenocereus eruca) seed germination and seedling fresh weight using NaCl as a saline medium. One hundred seeds divided into five replicates of 20 seeds in a completely randomized design, were treated with five salinity levels and distilled water as control (0, 2, 6, 8, and 10 dS m-1). Seeds were picked up from ripe fruits at a wild Stenocereus eruca population near San Carlos, Baja California Sur, México. Seedling fresh weight was significantly affected by saline stress, with lower fresh weight at the highest doses of 10 dS m-1, and the greatest fresh weight production was obtained with 0 and 2 dS m-1. However, germination percentage was greater at intermediate levels of 2 and 4 dS m-1 and lowest at 10 dS m-1 using NaCl; however, more studies should be conducted including other growth variables, seed viability, and salinity levels.

In this study, the aim was to develop the compositional nutrient diagnosis (CND) norms for Opuntia ficus indica variety 'Rojo Pelón’ fruiting. Statistical analyses involved a dataset of fruit yield and macro-nutrient concentrations of 228 1-year old cladodes from healthy plants. A cutoff yield (1,166.67 g cladode-1) between the low- and high-yield subpopulations was determined after examining six cumulative variance ratio functions related to yield per 1-year old cladode. Means and standard deviations of row-centered log-ratios of five nutrients (N, P, K, Ca, and Mg) and a filling value Rd, which includes all nutrients not chemically analyzed. Estimated preliminary CND norms (mean ± standard deviation of the row-centered log-ratios) are: = ?1.114 ± 0.219, = ?2.194 ±0.076, = 0.163 ± 0.259, = ?0.708 ± 0.157, = 0.401 ± 0.100, and = 3.452 ± 0.095. These CND standards are associated with the following 1-year old fruiting cladode mean concentrations: N=0.958%, P=0.318%, K=3.507%, Ca=4.228%, and Mg=1.448%. Then, the order of macro-nutrient requirements is as follows: Ca>K>Mg>N>P.

The growth of most pot-grown succulents offered by the ornamental industry is limited mainly by water, nutrients, photoperiod, and temperature manipulation, while other decisions, such as: plant density at pot cropping are often based on the grower’s experience. In the present study, to optimize the biomass accumulation of Schlumbergera truncata under high pot density, we performed an experimental design that included different numbers of initials phylloclades and spraying or not with the synthetic cytokinin 6-benzylaminopurine (BAP). The highest biomass accumulation on a fresh weight basis and highest stem area expansion were recorded in pots with five initial phylloclades and BAP-sprayed plants. The decrease in individual biomass accumulation and the expansion of steam area were related to an increase in pot density. Since shading effect can be discard, responses to photo-assimilate uptake and distribution more associated with mechanical constraints on pot roots rather than with a competition between individual roots. Our results suggest that, when Schlumbergera truncata is grown in pots, the number of initial phylloclades may be higher than the usually recommended number per pot.

At national level, the contribution of tourism to the formation of the Gross Domestic Product is quite significant, considering the year 2019, when the contribution of tourism was 6.1% (World Travel & Tourism Council, 2021). Thus, the connection between tourism and Gross Domestic Product is indisputable. The purpose of this study is to find out the influence of the number of tourists arriving in the development regions of Romania on the Gross Domestic Product. The regression method was applied for data processing, using the statistical program EViews. The highest increase in the Gross Domestic Product, depending on the increase in the number of tourists, is registered in the South-Muntenia Development Region, and the smallest increase is registered in the Bucharest-Ilfov Development Region. The results show that a large number of tourists does not necessarily mean generating a considerable increase in Gross Domestic Product.

COVID-19 is an extremely infectious disease and a danger to human health, causing deaths worldwide. The aim of the paper was to identify how the crisis caused by the COVID-19 pandemic negatively influenced the entrepreneurial intentions of young people. The study starts from the hypotheses that entrepreneurial intentions among young people have decreased due to the pandemic and that the existence of entrepreneurs in the family or circle of friends can positively influence young people. A review of the literature has created an overview of the importance of entrepreneurship in a country's economy and how the pandemic affected the entrepreneurs. To collect data, a questionnaire was distributed among young people between 16 and 35 years old. Following the evaluation of the respondents' answers, the two hypotheses were validated. It was found that young people who already have their own business also have relatives or friends who are entrepreneurs, who influenced them to follow the path of entrepreneurship. The pandemic has negatively affected young people, as before March 2020, 35.6% of young people wanted to start their own business, now 24.4% are undecided due to restrictions and uncertainty, and 1.6% gave up the idea setting up a business. Thus, we can conclude that the pandemic has caused disruptions to the economy and entrepreneurship, raising many challenges for current and future businesses.
