Characterization of gametophytic self-incompatibility of superior clones of Coffea canephora
Authors: M.S. Moraes, A.L. Teixeira, A.R. Ramalho, M.C. Esp?ndula, M.A.G Ferr?£o and R.B. Rocha
The ability to avoid self-pollination is a trait that evolved as a manner of reducing the deleterious effects of inbreeding in various allogamous plant species, including Coffea canephora. The aim of this study was to perform directed hybridizations to characterize the compatibility groups of superior C. canephora clones, sinc.. Read More»

Role of KRAS in NSCLC: present and future
Authors: Addeo A, Bini R
Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. Despite therapeutic advances over the last several decades, the overall 5-year survival remains only 16%. (Siegel R, 2013). Molecular studies have indicated that Adenocarcinomas have distinct genomic alterations allowing classification into clinically relevan.. Read More»

Anthocyanins-loaded Eudragit?® L100 nanoparticles: in vitro cytotoxic and genotoxic analysis
Authors: TB de Queiroz, D Dupeyr?³n, JCT Carvalho, IOM Gaiv?£o, and EL Maistro
Anthocyanins are flavonoids compounds that have a great therapeutic potential acting as antioxidants, anti-inflammatory and anti-carcinogenic agents. They are consumed through food, pharmaceutical and cosmetics industries as a natural alternative to synthetic dyes. However, anthocyanins are unstable depending on pH, temperatur.. Read More»

Hierarchical outcrossing among and within fruits in Bertholletia excelsa Bonpl. (Lecythidaceae) open-pollinated seeds
Authors: L.D. Giustina, A.B. Baldoni, H. Tonini, V.C.R. Azevedo, L.G. Neves, F.D. Tardin, A.M. Sebbenn
Knowing the mating patterns is important to determine the number of trees necessary for seed collection for conservation ex situ, tree breeding and environmental reforestation purposes. We investigated B. excelsa individuals and fruits, to check mating system index variations in a population by using open-pollinated seeds whic.. Read More»

Molecular Characterization and Differential Interaction of Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. phaseoli and Xanthomonas fuscans subsp. fuscans with Common Beans (Phaseolus vulgaris)
Authors: De Paiva BAR, Wendland A , Borba TC , Ara?ºjo LG
The common bacterial blight, caused by Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. phaseoli (Xap) and X. fuscans subsp. fuscans (Xff), is one of the most important dry bean diseases of bacterial etiology. The present work aimed to study the genetic structure among and within populations, and also identify the pathogenic variability of Xap and .. Read More»

Genetic diversity assessment of Allium cepa L. cultivars from Bosnia and Herzegovina using SSR makers
Authors: Lutvija Kari??, Maryam Golzardi, Petar Glamo?lija, Jasmin ? utkovi??
The five most common cultivars from the genus Allium cepa L. in Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH) were analysed, focusing on Konjic onion. Seven SSR markers for genetic similarity analysis were used to address the genetic backgrounds. The polymorphic relationship between the SSR markers was analyzed by using Polymorphic Informatio..

Determination of the number of harvests to select elite sugarcane genotypes in NE Brazil
Authors: J.A. Dutra Filho, T.C. Junior, D. E. Simoes Neto, L. S. Souto, Romulo Gil de Luna A.S. Souza
Sixty-eight sugarcane genotypes were evaluated to determine the number of harvests required to select new genotypes in the sugarcane belt in the state of Pernambuco, northeast Brazil. Using a random block design, the following parameters were evaluated: (i) polarizable sugars (POL) per hectare, in metric tons (TPH); (ii) culm .. Read More»
