Authors: X.K. Lu, N. Shu, J.J. Wang, X.G. Chen, D.L. Wang, S. Wang, W.L. Fan, X.N. Guo, L.X. Guo and W.W. Ye
Cytosine DNA methylation is a significant form of DNA modification closely associated with gene expression in eukaryotes, fungi, animals, and plants. Although the reference genomes of cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) have been publically available, the salinity-stress-induced DNA methylome alterations in cotton are not well unde.. Read More»

Maize hybrid stability in environments under water restriction using mixed models and factor analysis
Authors: A.O. Santos, J.J. Nuvunga, C.P. Silva, L.P.M. Pires, R.G. Von Pinho, L.J.M. Guimar�£es and M. Balestre
In several crops, the water deficit is perhaps the main limiting factor in the search for high yields. The objective of this study was to evaluate the phenotypic stability of maize hybrids in environments with and without water restriction using the analytical factor (AF) approach. We evaluated 171 maize hybrids in 14 environm.. Read More»

Implications of the clone by harvest interaction in the selection of sugarcane genotypes in a regionalized program
Authors: D.N.A. Cabral, J.A.R. Nunes, P.D.S. Cabral, J. Zuchi, A.J. Raizer and T.O.M. De Paula
The recommendation of sugarcane clones depends on several factors, as the response or performance of the clones over different cuts or harvests. The clone by harvest interaction might be difficult to identify superior clones in the final stages of the sugarcane breeding program. Thus, the objective of this study was to investi.. Read More»

Gas exchanges and water use efficiency in the selection of tomato geno-types tolerant to water stress.
Authors: M.E.A. Borba, G.M. Maciel, E.F. Fraga Junior, C.S. Machado Junior,G.R. Marquez, I.G. Silva and R.S. Almeida
Water stress can affect the yield in tomato crops and, despite this, there are few types of research aiming to select tomato genotypes resistant to the water stress using physiological parameters. This experiment aimed to study the variables that are related to the gas exchanges and the efficiency in water use, in the selectio.. Read More»

Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death in men and the second leading cause of cancer death in women worldwide. Fascin-1 and laminin-5 were associated with the invasiveness and prognoses of several cancers. The expression and the serum levels of fascin-1 and laminin-5 in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC.. Read More»

Genetic diversity and pectinolytic activity of epiphytic yeasts from grape carposphere
Authors: M. Ciliao Filho, M.B.D. Berteli, J.S. Valle, L.D. Paccola-Meirelles, G.A. Linde, F.G. Barcellos and N.B. Colauto
The genetic diversity of epiphytic yeasts from grape carposphere is susceptible to environmental variations that determine the predominant carposphere microbiota. Understanding the diversity of yeasts that inhabit grape carposphere in different environments and their pectinolytic activity is a way to understand the biotechnolo.. Read More»
