Experimental strategies in performing value for cultivation and use experiments for the tobacco crop II: dimension of the experimental network
Authors: C.E. Pulcinelli, A.T. Bruzi, F.H.R.B. Toledo and M.A.P. Ramalho
In this study, we aimed to establish strategies for value for cultivation and use (VCU) experiments for the tobacco crop in the southern region of Brazil with respect to the number of environments used to assess tobacco lines. Trials of the Virginia (18 sites) and Burley (17 sites) varietal groups were conducted in the three s.. Read More»

Temporal and tissue expression of genes involved in buds of earliness cotton cultivar
Authors: V.G.L. Batista, M.P.N. Pinheiro, P.A. Melo Filho, R.C. Santos and L.M. Lima
Gene sequences previously identified in Arabidopsis buds were used as references in order to estimate temporal and tissue expression in buds, leaves, stem, and root tissues in cotton plants. Buds were evaluated during 3 phases: 2-8, 10-12, and 14-20 mm. Primers were designed for the ARF6, ATFY, and SEUSS genes for use in semi-quantitative reverse transcri.. Read More»

Isolation and characterization of nucleotide-binding site and C-terminal leucine-rich repeat-resistance gene candidates in bananas
Authors: Isolation and characterization of nucleotide-binding site and C-terminal leucine-rich repeat-resistance gene candidates in bananas
Commercial banana varieties are highly susceptible to fungal pathogens, as well as bacterial pathogens, nematodes, viruses, and insect pests. The largest known family of plant resistance genes encodes proteins with nucleotide-binding site (NBS) and C-terminal leucine-rich repeat (LRR) domains. Conserved motifs in such genes in.. Read More»

Development and characterization of microsatellite loci for Tabebuia cassinoides (Bignoniaceae)
Authors: V.Q. Pretti, E. Fran�§oso, D.A. Sfor�§a, F. Pinheiro, D. Meyer and L.G. Lohmann
Tabebuia cassinoides (Lam.) DC., popularly known as caxeta, is a tree species that belongs to the plant family Bignoniaceae. This species is endemic to the Brazilian Atlantic Forest and is widely exploited commercially. To date, little is known about its genetic structure, preventing the establishment of adequate management plans for this taxon. .. Read More»

Effects of phenylalanine on reproductive performance and teratogenesis in mice
Authors: R.J. Oliveira, J.R. Pesarini, M.O. Mauro, L.S. Fronza, S.G. Victorelli, W.B. Cantero, M.C. Sena and A.C.M.B. Antoniolli
We evaluated the effects of phenylalanine on reproductive performance and teratogenesis in mice, as well as we assessed its protective effect in mice treated with an acute dose of cyclophosphamide. Animals were divided into 6 experimental groups (females N = 15/group, males N = 5/group): G1, the negative control group, phospha.. Read More»

Identification of complete linkage disequilibrium in the DSG4 gene and its association with wool length and crimp in Chinese indigenous sheep
Authors: Y.H. Ling, H. Xiang, G. Zhang, J.P. Ding, Z.J. Zhang, Y.H. Zhang, J.L. Han, Y.H. Ma and X.R. Zhang
The desmoglein 4 (DSG4) gene is a potential candidate in the search for genes that may affect wool traits, because of its function. This study aimed to screen for polymorphisms in partial exon 16 and 3êÂ?Â?UTR of the sheep desmoglein 4 DSG4 gene, and to test its possible association with wool length.. Read More»

Soybean rust resistance sources and inheritance in the common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.)
Authors: T.L.P.O. Souza, S.N. Dessaune, M.A. Moreira and E.G. Barros
Soybean rust (SBR), caused by the fungus Phakopsora pachyrhizi, has been reported in common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) cultivars and elite lines that were infected under controlled and natural field conditions in South Africa, the United States, Argentina, and Brazil. Although SBR is currently not a top pri.. Read More»

Polymorphic microsatellite loci for the genetic analysis of Lycoris radiata (Amaryllidaceae) and cross-amplification in other congeneric species
Authors: S.Q. Xuan, J.Y. Zheng, H. Wang, P. Gao, S.B. Zhou, K. Liu and G.-P. Zhu
Lycoris radiata is a perennial herb that has been used in traditional Chinese medicine for a long time and has two main medicinal components in its bulb, lycorine and galanthamine. However, the original microsatellite loci have not been developed for any species of Lycoris. Total genomic DNA was extracted from fresh bulbs usin.. Read More»
