Inheritance of bacterial spot resistance in Capsicum annuum var. annuum
Authors: L.R.A. Silva, R. Rodrigues, S. Pimenta, J.W.S. Correa, M.S.B. Ara�ºjo, C.S. Bento and C.P. Sudr�©
Since 2008, Brazil is the largest consumer of agrochemicals, which increases production costs and risks of agricultural products, environment, and farmers’ contamination. Sweet pepper, which is one of the main consumed vegetables in the country, is on top of the list of the most sprayed crops. The bacterial spot, caused .. Read More»

Cloning and functional prediction of differentially expressed genes in the leaves of Glycine max parents and hybrids at the seedling stage
Authors: J. Zhang, D. Yao, P. Wang, S.Y. Guan, J. Ma and Y.P. Fu
Here, we compare the molecular mechanism of soybean heterosis through the differential expression of basic cloning. Specifically, we cloned 22 differentially expressed cDNA fragments from hybrid combinations of Jilin 38 x EXP (which had obvious yield advantages) and their parents. In addition, we compared the homology of these.. Read More»

Heterosis for the improvement of yield in mungbean [Vigna radiata (L.) Wilczek]
Authors: P.A. Tantasawat, P. Khajudparn, T. Prajongjai and O. Poolsawat
Heterotic effects of mungbean hybrids from 25 crosses between parents differing in 9 agronomic and physiological traits were evaluated for various selected traits and seed yield. Significant heteroses were observed in most selected traits, except for the number of seeds per plant. When the heterosis of seed yield was evaluated in these hybrids, significan.. Read More»

Genotype x environment interaction on experimental hybrids of chili pepper
Authors: N.S.S. Cabral, A.M. Medeiros, L.G. Neves, C.P. Sudr�©, S. Pimenta, V.J. Coelho, M.E. Serafim and R. Rodrigues
In Brazil, cultivation of hybrid plants comprise near 40% of the area grown with vegetables. For Capsicum, hybrids of bell and chili peppers have already exceeded 50% and over 25% of all are commercialized seeds. This study aimed to evaluate new pepper hybrids in two environments, Cáceres, MT, and Campos dos Goytacazes,.. Read More»

Genetic variability of Brazilian Indian landraces of Arachis hypogaea L.
Authors: F.O. Freitas, M.C. Moretzsohn, J.F.M. Valls
The Kayabi Indians who inhabit the Xingu Indigenous Park, located in West Central Brazil, have grown and managed peanuts for a long time. A great number of landraces are being maintained by these tribes and some of this germplasm has morphological traits that exceed the variation described in the taxonomic literature. Here, we..

CoffeebEST: an integrated resource for Coffea spp expressed sequence tags
Authors: A.R. Paschoal1, E.D.M. Fernandes1,2, J.C. Silva1,2, F.M. Lopes1, L.F.P. Pereira2,3 and D.S. Domingues2
Coffee is one of the most important commodities in the world, and its production relies mainly on two species, Coffea arabica and Coffea canephora. Although there are diverse transcriptome datasets available for coffee trees, few research groups have exploited the potential knowledge contained in these data, especially with respect to fruit and seed devel..

Genetic bottlenecks in Turkish okra germplasm and utility of iPBS retrotransposon markers for genetic diversity assessment
Authors: M. Y�±ld�±z, M. Ko�§ak and F.S. Baloch
Lack of requisite genetic variation in Turkish okra has necessitated the use of different types of markers for estimating the genetic diversity and identifying the source of variation. Transposable elements, present abundantly in plant genomes, generate genomic diversity through their replication and are thus an excellent source of molecular markers. We h.. Read More»

Evaluation of the antimutagenic activity and mode of action of the fructooligosaccharide inulin in the meristematic cells of Allium cepa culture
Authors: M.O. Mauro, J.R. Pesarini, M.A. Marin-Morales, M.T.F.D. Monreal, A.C.D. Monreal, M.S. Mantovani and R.J. Oliveira
This study evaluated the mutagenicity and antimutagenicity of inulin in a chromosomal aberration assay in cultures of the meristematic cells of Allium cepa. The treatments evaluated were as follows: negative control - seed germination in distilled water; positive control - aqueous solution of methyl methanesulfonate (.. Read More»

Genetic diversity and population structure of wild Dipsacus asperoides in China as indicated by ISSR markers
Authors: D.X. Chen, L.Y. Li, X. Zhang, Y. Wang and Z. Zhang
In order to evaluate the genetic diversity and genetic structure of wild Dipsacus asperoides, we surveyed genetic polymorphisms in 288 individuals from 12 populations using ISSR. A total of 240 bands were amplified, among which 190 were polymorphic loci. At the species level, genetic diversity was found to be abundant: PPB.. Read More»

Inheritance and quantitative trait locus analysis of low-light tolerance in cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.)
Authors: D.D. Li, Z.W. Qin, H. Lian, G.B. Yu, Y.Y. Sheng and F. Liu
The low-light tolerance index was investigated in a set of 123 F2:3 lines during the seedling stage across 2 seasons, and the heredity of low-light tolerance was assessed via different genetic analysis methods. The results of the classical analysis showed that low-light tolerance is controlled by an additive-dominant polygene, and the polygenic inheritanc.. Read More»
