In the initial phase of the coffee crop, the control of weeds and water availability for the establishment of the plants is a concern. The polyethylene cover can positively influence the chemical and biological characteristics of the soil and, consequently, the root system. The objective of this work was to evaluate the morphology of the root system of coffee plants using polyethylene mulching of different widths and colors. Coffee was planted in December 2016 using the cultivar Topázio MG-1190. A randomized repetitions design was used, with four blocks and five treatments, as follows: 1.20-m wide white/black mulching, 1.40-m white/black mulching, 1.20-m silver/black mulching, 1.40-m silver /black mulching, and no mulching. Total root dry matter per soil volume, total root length per soil volume, total root volume per soil volume, total root area per soil volume, specific root surface, specific root length, and mean root diameter were all evaluated. Roots with smaller diameters were concentrated in the 0-0.20 m depth layer, while in the 0.20-0.40 m depth layer, roots with larger diameters were found. Plants grown in 1.20-m silver/black mulching showed a greater surface area and a specific length of the roots.
Plant stem cell extract from Coffea canephora shows antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and skin regenerative properties mediated by suppression of nuclear factor-κB

Plant cell cultures have become a promising production platform of bioactive compounds for biomedical and cosmetic uses in the last decades. However, the success so far has been limited. The study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of this unique biotechnology process to obtain a bioactive stem cell extract of Coffea canephora (SCECC) with antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and regenerative properties. Total phenolic and flavonoid contents were determined in the SCECC by spectrophotometry. The chemical composition of the extracts was characterized by mass spectrometry. Antioxidant activity was evaluated using the colorimetric methods of free radical scavenging 2,2'-azinobis-3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid (ABTS) and the ferric reducing ability of plasma (FRAP). The anti-inflammatory activity was determined in lipopolysaccharide-stimulated RAW 264.7 macrophages through the production of superoxide anion (O2•-), nitric oxide (NO), tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), interleukin-6 (IL-6), and the activity of nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB). Moreover, the ability of SCECC to stimulate the proliferation and migration of fibroblasts was assessed. Five compounds were tentatively identified, two flavonoids, two phenolic acids, and one sugar. High phenolic content and antioxidant activity were observed in the SCECC. SCECC promoted the proliferation and migration of fibroblasts and suppressed the pro-inflammatory mediators O2•-, NO, TNF-α, and IL-6 in a dose-dependent manner. Moreover, SCECC inhibited the NF-κB transcription factor. Therefore, we obtained evidence that the extract from C. canephora stem cells can be used as a natural agent against skin damage. Hence, it could be of interest in cosmetics for preventing skin aging.
Oxidative stability of biodiesel in the presence of leaves and fruit extracts
(Universidade Federal do Ceará, 2025-05-09) Branco, Isadora Guilherme; Romagnoli, Erica Signori; Gonçales Filho, José; Mantovani, Ana Carolina Gomes; Borsato, Dionisio
This research evaluated the efficiency of ethanolic extracts from yerba mate leaves (Ilex paraguariensis), coffee leaves (coffea arabica), and jambolan pulp (Syzygium cumini Lamarck) through the application of the simplex-centroid mixture design, the super modified simplex optimization algorithm, and the functions of desirability, using the induction period (IP) and the rate constant (k) of the biodiesel oxidation reaction at 110 °C as responses. Antioxidant activity was observed in all extracts, manifesting either by reducing the rate constant or extending the biodiesel induction period in comparison to the control sample. The mathematical models derived from the simplex-centroid design exhibited adjusted determination coefficients of 0.990 for the IP model and 0.960 for the k model. Analysis of variance indicated the significance of both models at the 5% significance level for IP and k, with p1 = 7.382 × 10−4 and p2 = 1.177 × 10−3, respectively. The lack of fit was not significant at the same level with p1 = 0.132 and p2 = 0.653, showing that they can be used for predictive purposes. The analysis of the response surface and optimization using the super modified simplex method revealed that higher proportions of coffee leaves extract in the mixture yielded superior IP values and lower k values.
Variability of photosynthetic performance among improved genotypes of Coffea canephora
(Universidade Federal de Viçosa, 2025-05-09) Colodetti, Tafarel Victor; Tomaz, Marcelo Antonio; Rodrigues, Wagner Nunes; Christo, Bruno Fardim; Martins, Lima Deleon; Cavatte, Paulo Cezar
This study evaluated the variability of photosynthetic performance of 27 improved genotypes of Conilon coffee, cultivated in the Southern of the Espírito Santo State. The photosynthetic performance was based on the measurement of gas exchange rates and chlorophyll in the period most favorable to the photosynthetic activity and in different stages of the reproductive cycle: flowering, fruit initiation, grain formation and fruit maturation; being expressed as the average (weighted by the number of days) along the phenological stages of the third reproductive cycle of the plants. It was possible to verify the existence of sufficient variability to differentiate the photosynthetic performance among the 27 genotypes throughout the reproductive cycle, even starting from a group of already improved genotypes. Among the physiological parameters, the rate of carbon assimilation, stomatal conductance and the transpiration rate stood out as parameters for the study of variability, mainly due to their contributions to the clustering of genotypes. The genotype 108 is highlighted due to its high photosynthetic rate, associated with higher relative content of chlorophyll, as well as reasonable water use efficiency. The genotypes 205, 206 and 305 stood out in terms of water use and carbon assimilation.
Deep soil tillage and mineral and organic fertilization for Coffea canephora cultivation
(Escola Superior de Agricultura "Luiz de Queiroz", 2025-05-23) Calvache, Diego Fernando Arcos; Mattiello, Edson Marcio; Castro, Gustavo Franco de; Cuichán, Cristian Mauricio Vega; Assis, Igor Rodrigues de
In the state of Espírito Santo, Brazil, the production of conilon coffee plays a pivotal role in the economy, accounting for 75 % of national production. However, the growth of coffee roots is impeded by physical limitations in subsurface soil, primarily due to natural compaction, which restricts access to nutrients and water. To address these challenges, the implementation of deep soil tillage, along with mineral and organic fertilizers have been proposed as potential solution. These practices aim to alleviate or eliminate the constraints on root growth in deeper soil layers. The present study to assessed the effects of deep soil tillage and mineral and organic fertilization on coffee productivity and quality. The experiment was conducted in São Gabriel da Palha, Espírito Santo state, Brazil, following a simple arrangement of five treatments, employing a randomized block design with four replications. The treatments were as follows: t1 = soil tillage at 60 cm depth and standard fertilization; t2 = soil tillage at 60 cm depth, mineral fertilizer, chicken manure, and biochar; t3 = deep soil tillage at 150 cm depth and mineral fertilization; t4 = deep soil tillage at 150 cm depth, mineral fertilizer, and chicken manure; t5 = deep soil tillage at 150 cm depth, mineral fertilizer, chicken manure, and biochar. The outcomes of this study revealed that deep soil tillage, in conjunction with mineral and organic fertilization, significantly improved the chemical properties throughout the soil profile. This combination of practices increased accumulated productivity of up to 30 % following five consecutive coffee harvests. These findings underscore the importance of reducing or eliminating chemical constraints in cohesive soils as a pivotal practice for enhancing coffee yields.
