Authors: K.J. da Silva, P.E. Teodoro, C.B. de Menezes, M.P.M. J�ºlio,V.F. de Souza, M.J. da Silva, L.D. Pimentel and A. Bor�©m
Given the importance of selecting lines to obtain hybrids, we aimed to verify the relationship between morphological traits that can be used as the criteria for the selection of sorghum lines with high grain yield and earliness. A total of 18 traits were evaluated in 160 sorghum elite lines, in an incomplete block design with .. Read More»

Biometric analysis of arabica coffee grown in low potassium nutrient solution under greenhouse conditions
Authors: W.M. Moura, Y.J.B. Soares, A.T. Amaral J�ºnior, G.A. Gravina, L.D. Barili and H.D. Vieira
Genetic parameters and associations between morpho-agronomic traits and nutritional efficiencies of arabica coffee cultivars were estimated to identify promising traits to assist in the selection of coffee genotypes efficient in potassium use, under limiting conditions of this nutrient. The experiment was conducted in a greenhouse with 20 arabica coffee c.. Read More»

Genetic progress estimation strategy for upright common bean plants using recurrent selection
Authors: L.A. Pereira, A.F.B. Abreu, I.C. Vieira J�ºnior, L.P.M. Pires,M.A.P. Ramalho
Common bean producers in Brazil tend to grow plants as upright as possible. Because the control of this trait involves a large number of genes, recurrent selection (RS) is the best approach for successful plant improvement. Because plant architecture (PA) is evaluated using scores and usually has high heritability, RS for PA i.. Read More»

Assessing non-additive effects in GBLUP model
Authors: I.C. Vieira, J.P. R. dos Santos, L.P.M. Pires, B.M. Lima, F.M.A. Gon�§alves and M. Balestre
Understanding non-additive effects in the expression of quantitative traits is very important in genotype selection, especially in species where the commercial products are clones or hybrids. The use of molecular markers has allowed the study of non-additive genetic effects on a genomic level, in addition to a better understan.. Read More»

Identification of 19 loci for reproductive traits in a local Chinese chicken by genome-wide study
Authors: Q.C. Fan, P.F. Wu, G.J. Dai, G.X. Zhang, T. Zhang, Q. Xue,H.Q. Shi, J.Y. Wang
Reproductive traits have long been studied and have an important influence on chicken breeding. To identify quantitative trait loci affecting reproductive traits, a genome-wide analysis of a Chinese chicken breed was performed to analyze age at first egg body weight at first egg, first egg weight, egg weight at the age of 300 ..

Evolutive and structural characterization of Nostoc commune iron-superoxide dismutase that is fit for modification
Authors: Y. Ma M. Lu J.-Y. Li Y. Qin X.-G. Gong
Superoxide dismutase (SOD) has extensive clinical applications for protecting organisms from toxic oxidation. In this study, the integrated iron-superoxide dismutase gene (fe-sod) coding sequence of Nostoc commune stain CHEN was cloned from genomic DNA and compared to sods from other reported algae. These analyses of immunology and phylogenetics indicated th.. Read More»

Selection of cowpea progenies with enhanced drought-tolerance traits using principal component analysis
Authors: C.C. Sousa,K.J. Damasceno-Silva, E.A. Bastos,M.M. Rocha
Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp (cowpea) is a food crop with high nutritional value that is cultivated throughout tropical and subtropical regions of the world. The main constraint on high productivity of cowpea is water deficit, caused by the long periods of drought that occur in these regions. The aim of the present study was to.. Read More»
