Molecular identification of variety purity in a cotton hybrid with unknown parentage using DNA-SSR markers
Authors: X.Q. Fu, F.X. Yang, X.K. Lu, X.G. Wang, B.X. Yang, F.J. Liu, Y. Liu and J. Peng
Molecular identification of hybrid purity is difficult in regional trials of cotton varieties and hybrid trials. In particular, the molecular detection of hybrid purity has not yet been reported in the case of unknown parentage. In this study, we screened 5000 pairs of primers and chose 17 pairs of core simple sequence repeat .. Read More»

Cotton genotypes selection through artificial neural networks
Authors: E.G. Silva J�ºnior, D.B.O. Cardoso, M.C. Reis, A.F.O. Nascimento, D.I. Bortolin, M.R. Martins and L.B. Sousa
Breeding programs currently use statistical analysis to assist in the identification of superior genotypes at various stages of a cultivar’s development. Differently from these analyses, the computational intelligence approach has been little explored in genetic improvement of cotton. Thus, this study was carried out wit.. Read More»

Allele frequencies in Azuay Population in Ecuador
Authors: P.P. Orellana, C.F. Andrade, C.L. Arciniegas and G.C. Iannacone
One hundred and eighty-two samples of unrelated people who requested the paternity test at the Molecular Biology and Genetics Laboratory of the Catholic University of Cuenca-Ecuador in the province of Azuay were studied, except for the D1S1656 (180 samples) and SE33 (89 samples) markers. The STRs D22S1045, D3S1358, VWA, D16S53.. Read More»

Genotype x environment interaction and stability of soybean cultivars for vegetative-stage characters
Authors: M.V.A. Chaves, N.S. Silva, R.H.O. Silva, G.L. Jorge, I.C. Silveira, L.A. Medeiros, R.L. Hamawaki, O.T. Hamawaki, A.P.O. Nogueira and C.D.L. Hamawaki
In order to obtain the certificate of cultivar protection, it is necessary to prove its distinctiveness, homogeneity, and stability. Currently, there are 37 descriptors for differentiating soybeans cultivars. However, they are still not enough and, as a result, it is necessary to create, identify, and evaluate new descriptors...

Multiple genetic resistances in Capsicum spp
Authors: C.S. Bento, A.G. de Souza, C.P. Sudr�©, S. Pimenta and R. Rodrigues
This study aimed to identify Capsicum genotypes with resistance to bacterial spot (BS), anthracnose and Pepper yellow mosaic virus (PepYMV). Fifty-four genotypes of Capsicum spp were evaluated. Resistance reaction against BS was evaluated using three replicates, testing hypersensitivity and quantitative resistance in leaves. A.. Read More»

Identification of soybean genotypes with high stability for the Brazilian macro-region 402 via biplot analysis
Authors: E.U. Ramos Junior, R.L. Brogin, V.P.C. Godinho, F.J.E. Botelho, F.D. Tardin and P.E. Teodoro
Biplot analysis has often been used to recommend genotypes from different crops in the presence of the genotype x environment interaction (GxE). The objective of this study was to verify the association between the AMMI and GGE biplot methods and to select soybean genotypes that simultaneously meet high grain yield and stabili.. Read More»

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 gra.. Read More»
