Genetic diversity as tool to identify standard leaf nutrients in cassava genotypes
Authors: JAD Giles, WP Rodrigues, G Oliosi, FL Partelli, HD Vieira and Vanderlei da Silva Santos
Among the factors affecting cassava yield, the leaf nutrients content has received little attention since cassava genotypes may grow well under inappropriate nutrient supply, however showing inadequate nutritional quality of tuberous roots. Considering this aspect, the genetic diversity should be explored in order to determine.. Read More»

Bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) lines: chemical composition and protein digestibility
Authors: F.R. Mesquita, M.I.A. Silva and A.D. Corr�?ªa
The bean represents the main source of proteins for the low income populations, although the digestibility of those proteins is relatively low. Consequently, the programs of plant genetic breeding have been working on the search for new lines with higher protein levels. Thus, with the purpose of supplying information to the re.. Read More»
