چکیده
In search of efficient solutions for the treatment contaminated soils and in favor sustainable development agriculture, this work aimed at developing an method that helps to directly overcome contamination by nickel Theobroma cacao L. seedlings. study, genotypes ICS-39, CCN-51, TSH-1188, which are high-yielding varieties South America, were studied. The compound used as adsorbent was commercial zeolite 5A. 5A soil samples analyzed X-ray diffraction, Raman microscopy, chemical analysis, electron microscopy techniques, atomic absorption spectroscopy. This last technique quantitative determination Ni concentrations Zeolite presented a high adsorption efficiency (95%) among studied genotypes, making material viable inhibitor agent Ni. addition, found be not chemically harmful plant morphology (root height), demonstrated using statistical analysis. Finally, mechanism described based on physicochemical properties, suggesting has remarkable remediation application.

Polyphenols in cocoa ( Theobroma cacao L . )
Polyphenols have gained much interest recently due to its antioxidant capacity and possible benefits to human health such as anti-carcinogenic, anti-atherogenic, anti-ulcer, antithrombotic, anti-inflammatory, immune modulating, anti-microbial, vasodilatory and analgesic effects. Cocoa (Theobroma cacao L.) is a rich source of polyphenols and reported having high antioxidant activity than teas an...
متن کاملMolecular, Biochemical and Ultrastructural Changes Induced by Pb Toxicity in Seedlings of Theobroma cacao L.
Pb is a metal which is highly toxic to plants and animals, including humans. High concentrations of Pb have been observed in beans of T. cacao, as well as in its products. In this work, we evaluated the molecular, biochemical, and ultrastructural alterations in mature leaves and primary roots of seedlings of two progenies of T. cacao, obtained from seed germination in different concentrations o...
متن کاملChromatin differentiation between Theobroma cacao L. and T. grandiflorum Schum
A comparative analysis of mitotic chromosomes of Theobroma cacao (cacao) and T. grandiflorum (cupuaçu) was performed aiming to identify cytological differences between the two most important species of this genus. Both species have symmetric karyotypes, with 2n = 20 metacentric chromosomes ranging in size from 2.00 to 1.19 μm (cacao) and from 2.21 to 1.15 μm (cupuaçu). The interphase nuclei of ...

The aims of this study were to determine the proximate composition of cacao pod husk as well as the optimal conditions for extraction and purification of theobromine from cacao pod husk. The results indicated that cacao pod husk had high contents of moisture and carbohydrate (87.06% and 11.03% by fresh weight, respectively), but low contents of crude protein, crude lipid, and ash (0.31%, 0.12%,...
متن کاملEffects of Two Fungicides, Caocobre and Ridomil on the Rhizosphere Microflora of Cocoa (Theobroma Cacao L) Seedlings
The effect of two fungicides, Caocobre and Ridomil on rhizosphere phenomenon of Cocoa (Theobroma cacao L) seedlings has been studied at different stages of the development of the plant growing in pots. Fungal population in the rhizophere soil was generally higher than in the non-rhizosphere soil. The total number of fungal population in both the rhizosphere and non-rhizosphere was highest on th...
