Genetic diversity and selection of common bean lines based on technological quality and biofortification
Authors: S. de M. Steckling, N.D. Ribeiro, F.D. Arns, H.C. Mezzomo, M.T.D.F. Possobom
The development of common bean cultivars with high technological quality that are biofortified with minerals, is required to meet the demand for food with health benefits. The objectives of this study were to evaluate whether common bean genotypes differ in terms of technological and mineral biofortification traits, to study t.. Read More»

Genetic progress in the UNB-2U population of popcorn under recurrent selection in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
Authors: R.M. Ribeiro, A.T. do Amaral J�ºnior, L.S.A. Gon�§alves, L.S. Candido, T.R.C. Silva and G.F. Pena
As part of the Universidade Estadual do Norte Fluminense recurrent selection program of popcorn, we evaluated full-sib families of the sixth cycle of recurrent selection and estimated genetic progress for grain yield and expansion capacity. We assessed 200 full-sib families for 10 agronomic traits, in a randomized block design.. Read More»

Case of escape in cassava, Manihot esculenta Crantz
Authors: N.M.A. Nassar and M. Mendonza
Two cassava escapes where collected from cultivated fields near natural habitat in Bolivia. They are described morphologically and analyzed cytogenetically in this study. It is suggested that they are the product of backcrosses of cassava interspecific hybrids with the cultigen itself, and that selective conditions have develo.. Read More»

Evolutionary analysis of the short-type peptidoglycan-recognition protein gene (PGLYRP1) in primates
Authors: W. Liu Y.F. Yao L. Zhou Q.Y. Ni H.L. Xu
Short-type peptidoglycan (PGN)-recognition protein 1 (PGLYRP1), an innate immunity protein that directly breaks down the structure of microbial cell wall PGNs, plays an important role both in antibacterial defenses and several inflammatory diseases. To explore the adaptive evolution of the PGLYRP1 gene in primates and provide insight into the function of thi.. Read More»

Association among agro-industrial traits and simultaneous selection in sweet sorghum
Authors: P.S.S. Leite, T.G. Fagundes, J.A.R. Nunes, R.A.C. Parrella,N.N.L. Dur�£es and A.T. Bruzi
Sweet sorghum has emerged as an alternative crop for ethanol yield. The breeding of this crop is performed to obtain cultivars with high ethanol yield, which necessarily requires associating favorable phenotypes for multiple traits. Therefore, the aims of this study were to investigate the association between agro-industrial t.. Read More»

Microsatellite markers linked to the locus of the watermelon fruit stripe pattern
Authors: R.N.C.S. Gama, C.A.F. Santos, R.C.S. Dias, J.C.S.F. Alves and T.O. Nogueira
Agronomic performance and external and internal appearance of watermelon (Citrullus lanatus) fruit are important traits that should be taken into consideration during the development of a new cultivar, as well as being the principal identification elements used by the consumer, which are based on the external appearance and quality of the fruit. Externally, .. Read More»

Authors: P.F. Wu, D. Wang, C.F. Jin, X.Q. Zhang, H.Q. Wu, L. Zhang, F.X. Ding, K. Z. Xie and G.X. Zhang
Growth traits are important economic traits in broiler chicken production. AluI and Hin1I loci are two restriction sites, which are respectively located in exons 2 and 3 of the IGF-1R gene. These two loci are significantly related to the growth traits in Jinghai Yellow chickens. In this study, a correlation analysis was perfor.. Read More»
