Diallel and prediction (REML/BLUP) for yield components in intervarietal maize hybrids
Authors: I.R. Carvalho, A.J. de Pelegrin, V.J. Szareski, M. Ferrari, T.C. da Rosa, T.S. Martins, N.L. dos Santos, M. Nardino, V.Q. de Souza, A.C. de Oliveira and L.C. da Maia
Genetic improvement is essential to achieve increments in maize (Zea mays L.) grain yield components. It may be obtained through crosses, which enable to exploit the effects of intervarietal heterosis, allelic complementarity, as well as gene actions and effects. This study estimated the components of variance and genetic para.. Read More»

Analysis of genetic variability of commercial melon cultivars using SSR molecular markers
Authors: N. Carvalho, F.M. Canela, P.H.S. Leite, M.A. Ferreira, V.R. Oliveira, M.F. Santos, N.O.S. Souza and G.S.C. Buso
Taking into account the scenario of melon production (Cucumis melo L.) in Brazil, it is notable the importance of the culture in the fruit market. The preference of the national market is concentrated in the fruits of the yellow type. Therefore, it is possible that the genetic base of the commercial cultivars is relatively nar.. Read More»

Mutational screening in the LDLR gene among patients presenting familial hypercholesterolemia in the Southeast of Brazil
Authors: G.A. Molfetta, D.L. Zanette, J.E. Santos and W.A. Silva Jr
Familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) is a dominant, autosomal disease characterized by high LDL levels in blood plasma, and is caused by a defect in the gene encoding the LDL receptor (LDLR). The clinical diagnosis is based on personal and familial history, physical examination findings, and measures of high LDL cholesterol conc.. Read More»

Morphological diversity of cassava accessions of the south-central mesoregion of the State of Mato Grosso, Brazil
Authors: B.W. Zago, M.A.A. Barelli, E.S.S. Hoogerheide, C.L. Corr�?ªa,G.I.S. Delforno and C.J. da Silva
Genetic variability of cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) in Brazil is wide, being this the result of natural and cultural selection during pre- and post-domestication of the species in different environments. Given the number of species of the genus found in the region (38 of a total of 98 species), the central region of Braz.. Read More»
