Cross-amplification and characterization of microsatellite markers in Alcantarea patriae Versieux & Wand.
Authors: A.G. Pereira, U.C.S. Bernardi, V.C. Manh�£es, R.S. Ferreira and F.D. Miranda
The Alcantarea patriae is a Bromeliaceae endemic to the inselbergs of the Atlantic Forest. This taxon, described in the year of 2007 by Versieux & Wanderley, presents restricted and fragmented distribution outside conservation units. Studies to evaluate the genetic structure of its populations can contribute to the conserv.. Read More»

High genetic diversity of Jatropha curcas assessed by ISSR
Authors: B.G. DÃ?Âaz, D.M. Argollo, M.C. Franco, S.M. Nucci, W.J. Siqueira, D.M. de Laat and C.A. Colombo
Jatropha curcas L. is a highly promising oilseed for sustainable production of biofuels and bio-kerosene due to its high oil content and excellent quality. However, it is a perennial and incipiently domesticated species with none stable cultivar created until now despite genetic breeding programs in progress in several countri.. Read More»

Expressed sequence tags related to nitrogen metabolism in maize inoculated with Azospirillum brasilense
Authors: L. Pereira-Defilippi, E.M. Pereira, F.M. Silva and G.V. Moro
The relative quantitative real-time expression of two expressed sequence tags (ESTs) codifying for key enzymes in nitrogen metabolism in maize, nitrate reductase (ZmNR), and glutamine synthetase (ZmGln1-3) was performed for genotypes inoculated with Azospirillum brasilense. Two commercial single-cross hybrids (AG7098 and 2B707.. Read More»

Influence of processing and storage of integral grape juice (Vitis labrusca L.) on its physical and chemical characteristics, cytotoxicity, and mutagenicity in vitro
Authors: E. D�¼sman, I.V. Almeida, E.P. Pinto, L. Lucchetta and V.E.P. Vicentini
Integral grape juice is extracted from the grape through processes that allow the retention of their natural composition. However, due to the severity of some processes, fruit juices can undergo changes in their quality. The present study evaluated the cytotoxic and mutagenic effects of integral grape juice by a cytokinesis-bl.. Read More»

Restoration over time and sustainability of Schinus terebinthifolius Raddi
Authors: S.V. Ã?Âlvares-Carvalho, R. Silva-Mann, I.B. Gois, M.F.V. Melo, A.S. Oliveira, R.A. Ferreira and L.J. Gomes
The success of recovery programs on degraded areas is dependent on the genetic material to be used, which should present heterozygosity and genetic diversity in native and recovered populations. This study was carried out to evaluate the model efficiency to enable the recovery of a degraded area of the Lower São Francis.. Read More»

Genetic diversity of Desmanthus sp accessions using ISSR markers and morphological traits
Authors: J.C. Costa, G.G.M. Fracetto, F.J.C. Fracetto, M.V.F. Santos and M.A. Lira Junior
Desmanthus is a genus of forage legumes with high nutritional value, productive potential, and ability to obtain nitrogen in association with diazotrophic bacteria. The use of accurate techniques for genotype identification and characterization is essential for breeding programs. Morphological markers are widely used to know t.. Read More»

Evaluation of genetic diversity among soybean (Glycine max) genotypes using univariate and multivariate analysis
Authors: M.M. Oliveira, L.B. Sousa, M.C. Reis, E.G. Silva Junior, D.B.O. Cardoso, O.T. Hamawaki and A.P.O. Nogueira
The genetic diversity study has paramount importance in breeding programs; hence, it allows selection and choice of the parental genetic divergence, which have the agronomic traits desired by the breeder. This study aimed to characterize the genetic divergence between 24 soybean genotypes through their agronomic traits, using .. Read More»

Genetic variability of garlic accessions as revealed by agro-morphological traits evaluated under different environments
Authors: E.S.S. Hoogerheide, J.A. Azevedo Filho, R. Vencovsky, M.I. Zucchi, B.W. Zago and J.B. Pinheiro
The cultivated garlic (Allium sativum L.) displays a wide phenotypic diversity, which is derived from natural mutations and phenotypic plasticity, due to dependence on soil type, moisture, latitude, altitude and cultural practices, leading to a large number of cultivars. This study aimed to evaluate the genetic variability sho.. Read More»
