Selection of progenies of snap beans using mixed models (REML/BLUP)

The purpose of this research was to select the development of superior genotypes of snap beans adapted to edaphoclimatic conditions of the North and Northwest of Rio de Janeiro State, Brazil, applying the mixed model methodology. The test was installed and carried out in the experimental area of the Instituto Federal Fluminense (IFF), located in the municipality of .. Read More»

Assessment of the cytotoxic, genotoxic, and mutagenic potential of Acrocomia aculeata in rats

    G.K. Traesel, L.H.A. Castro, P.V.B. Silva, R.M. Muzzi, C.A.L. Kassuya, A.C. Arena and S.A. Oesterreich

Acrocomia aculeata (Jacq.) Lodd. ex Mart. is a plant species commonly used as a foodstuff and also for treating diseases, since it contains high concentrations of antioxidant compounds and monounsaturated fatty acids. Considering its ethnopharmacological relevance, the aim of the present study was to assess the cytotoxic, genotoxic, and mutagenic effects of an oil extracted from the pulp of A. .. Read More»

Acrocomia aculeata prevents toxicogenetic damage caused by the antitumor agent cyclophosphamide

    M.F. Magosso, P.C. Carvalho, B.U.C. Shneider, L.R. Pessatto,J.R. Pesarini, P.V.B. Silva, W.A. Correa, C.A.L. Kassuya, R.M. Muzzi and R.J. Oliveira

Acrocomia aculeata is a plant rich in antioxidant compounds. Studies suggest that this plant has anti-inflammatory, antidiabetic, and diuretic potential. We assessed the antigenotoxic, antimutagenic, immunomodulation, and apoptotic potentials of A. aculeata alone and in combination with an antitumor agent, cyclophosphamide. Swiss male mice (N = 140) were used. The a.. Read More»

Prediction of genetic gains by selection indices using mixed models in elephant grass for energy purposes

Genetically improved cultivars of elephant grass need to be adapted to different ecosystems with a faster growth speed and lower seasonality of biomass production over the year. This study aimed to use selection indices using mixed models (REML/BLUP) for selecting families and progenies within full-sib families of elephant grass (Pennisetum purpureum) for biomass pr..

Stability of annual biomass energy production of elephant grass (Pennisetum purpureum Schum.) genotypes in the Northern region of the Rio de Janeiro State, Brazil

The objectives of this study were to estimate the stability of dry biomass production of elephant grass genotypes under an annual harvest regime, in soil-climatic conditions of the Northern region of the Rio de Janeiro State, Brazil, and to compare methodologies for stability analyses of Yates and Cochran (YC), Plaisted and Peterson (PP), Annicchiarico (ANN), Lin an..
