Association of CYP2C19*2 with hyperlipidemia in patients with the wild-type CYP2C9
Authors: K. Khalighi, G. Cheng, S. Mirabbasi, B. Khalighi, Y. Wu and W. Fan
Arachidonic acids are metabolized by cytochromes P450 (CYP450) to epoxyeicosatrienoic acids (EETs). EETs have many cardiovascular protective effects such as vasodilation, anti-hypertension, anti-inflammation, lipid-lowering effects, and favorable effects on glucose homeostasis. This study aimed to investigate whether gene poly.. Read More»

Univariate, multivariate techniques and mixed models applied to the adaptability and stability of wheat in the Rio Grande do Sul State
Authors: V.J. Szareski, I.R. Carvalho, K. Kehl, A.M. Levien, M. Nardino, G.H. Demari, F. Lautenchleger, V.Q. de Souza, T. Ped�³ and T.Z. Aumonde
The wheat crop presents sensitivity to the environmental conditions culminating in the genotype x environment interaction, being crucial the use of different methodologies to guide the positioning of genotypes to certain cultivation environments. The objective of this study was to estimate the adaptability and phenotypic stabi.. Read More»

Genetic dissimilarity of common bean lines for agronomic and biofortification traits
Authors: S.M. Maziero, N.D. Ribeiro and C.R. Casagrande
The evaluation of the genetic dissimilarity of common bean lines obtained by the breeding program is significant to identify duplicate accessions, to select superior lines, and to plan new hybrid combinations. The objectives of this study were to evaluate the genetic dissimilarity of common bean genotypes for agronomic and min.. Read More»

Comparison of eight methods to isolate genomic DNA from Hancornia speciosa
Authors: V.M. Almeida, G.A. Luz, P.P. Martins, M.F.C. Gomes, M.F. Costa, P.S.C. Lima and S.E.S. Valente
Mangabeira (Hancornia speciosa) is a native fruit tree found mainly in the Cerrado biome and shows great economic potential due to its multiple uses; the fruits are used in agriculture, are important as a food resource, and can be consumed in natura or processed. Due to a reduction in the area of ecosystems where it occurs, ma.. Read More»

Efficiency of selection per se and in single-cross hybrids for disease resistance in maize
Authors: R.B. Camargos, R.G. Von Pinho, M. Balestre, R.A.D.C. Ferreira, K.O.G. Dias, L.P.M. Pires and V.F. Souza
Plant breeding strategies are constantly refined to increase efficiency during the selection process. Consequently, the aims of this study were to examine genetic control and efficiency of selection based on the per se performance of maize lines and based on hybrid performance in reaction to white spot, common rust, and ear ro..

Investigation on possible occurrence of somaclonal effects in zygotic and embryonic cotton structures based on agronomical traits
Authors: T.C. Soares, J.M.F.C. Carvalho, L.M. Lima, R.M.M. Freire,C.R.C. Silva, P.A. Melo Filho and R.C. Santos
Zygotic and embryonic cotton structures were used in in vitro procedures to obtain stable plants. Zygotes (24, 48, and 72 h) and immature embryos (10 and 25 days after fertilization) were grown in MS medium supplemented with glucose, indoleacetic acid, kinetin, and activated charcoal. Regenerated seedlings were acclimatized an.. Read More»

Antimicrobial activity of essential oil and growth of Ocimum basilicum (L.) inoculated with mycorrhiza and humic substances applied to soil
Authors: F. Morelli, L. Ferarrese, C.L. Munhoz and O. Alberton
Mycorrhizal association increases the absorption of water and nutrients by plants, and thus, affects their metabolism. This study aimed at assessing the single and conjoint effects of the arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus (AMF) Claroideoglomus etunicatum and soil’s humic substances (HS) on the composition of essential oil (E..

Genetic diversity among Hymenaea courbaril L. genotypes naturally occurring in the north of Mato Grosso State, Brazil
Authors: V.D. Rocha, P.V. Tiago, A.V. Tiago, E.C.M. Pedri, E.S. Cardoso and A.A.B. Rossi
Hymenaea courbaril L. is a tropical tree species with economic and medicinal potential largely used in programs for the recovery of degraded areas. The use of molecular markers in genetic studies can help in the definition of forest restoration strategies. This study was conducted to analyze the genetic diversity among H. cour.. Read More»
