Comparison of maize similarity and dissimilarity genetic coefficients based on microsatellite markers
Authors: M. Balestre, R.G. Von Pinho, J.C. Souza and J.L. Lima
The present study compared different similarity and dissimilarity coefficients and their influence in maize inbred line clustering. Ninety maize S0:1 inbred lines were used and genotyped with 25 microsatellite markers (simple sequence repeat). The simple matching, Rogers and Tanimoto, Russel and Rao, Hamann, Jaccard, Sorensen-..

Genetic diversity studies of Brazilian garlic cultivars and quality control of garlic-clover production
Authors: G.S.C. Buso, M.R. Paiva, A.C. Torres, F.V. Resende, M.A. Ferreira, J.A. Buso and A.N. Dusi
The garlic cultivars grown in Brazil evolved from somatic mutations and clone selection by breeding programs and by the introduction of germplasm from other countries. Morphological characters have been used to differentiate these cultivars. Two hundred and six random amplified polymorphic DNA markers were utilized for a diver.. Read More»

Comparative genetic analysis of trichome-less and normal pod genotypes of Mucuna pruriens (Fabaceae)
Authors: S.S. Dhawan, G.K. Rai, M.P. Darokar, R.K. Lal, H.O. Misra and S.P.S. Khanuja
Velvet bean (Mucuna pruriens) seeds contain the catecholic amino acid L-DoPA (L-3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine), which is a neurotransmitter precursor and used for the treatment of Parkinson’s disease and mental disorders. The great demand for L-DoPA is largely met by the pharmaceutical industry through extraction of the com.. Read More»

Genetic diversity among coffee tree progenies Big Coffee VL based on growth traits and production
Authors: J.A. Silva, S.P. Carvalho, A.T. Bruzi, R.J. Guimar�?£es, L.L. Oliveira and L.C. Sim�?µes
In a coffee plantation of a coffee ‘Acaiá’ cultivar (Coffea arabica), on the Midwest of Minas Gerais in Capitólio city, a different kind of coffee tree was found (1989), possibly due to a mutation. It presented larger leaves and grains than those of conventional coffee trees and was named as “Big Coffee VL.” The aim o.. Read More»

Comparison of efficiency of distance measurement methodologies in mango (Mangifera indica) progenies based on physicochemical descriptors
Authors: E.O.S. Alves, C.B.M. Cerqueira-Silva, A.M. Souza, C.A.F. Santos, F.P. Lima Neto and R.X. Corr�?ªa
We investigated seven distance measures in a set of observations of physicochemical variables of mango (Mangifera indica) submitted to multivariate analyses (distance, projection and grouping). To estimate the distance measurements, five mango progeny (total of 25 genotypes) were analyzed, using six fruit physicochemical descr.. Read More»

Phenotypic characteristics for discrimination between advanced genotypes of Brachiaria ruziziensis
Authors: B.A. Rezende, C.B. Ribeiro, D.H.L. Teixeira, F.M.A. Gon�?§alves and F. Souza Sobrinho
The aim of this study was to use multivariate methods and Pearson and partial correlations to disregard phenotypic characteristics that contribute little to differentiation between Brachiaria ruziziensis genotypes. Eighty-one genotypes of B. ruziziensis were assessed in completely randomized blocks with three replications. Ten phenotypic characteristics w.. Read More»

Genetic diversity of turmeric germplasm (Curcuma longa; Zingiberaceae) identified by microsatellite markers
Authors: M.S. Sigrist, J.B. Pinheiro, J.A. Azevedo Filho and M.I. Zucchi
Turmeric (Curcuma longa) is a triploid, vegetatively propagated crop introduced early during the colonization of Brazil. Turmeric rhizomes are ground into a powder used as a natural dye in the food industry, although recent research suggests a greater potential for the development of drugs and cosmetics. In Brazil, little is k.. Read More»
