Identification of Colletotrichum isolates from Capsicum chinense in Amazon

Chili pepper (Capsicum chinense) is a great economic important culture on the State of Amazonas, and it represents, approximately, a production of 1.9 thousand tons per year. It is one of the hosts of Colletotrichum genus in the North region of Brazil. The aim of the study was to differentiate and to identify isolates of Colletotrichum collected from C. chinense in ..

Impacts of stocking on the genetic diversity of Colossoma macropomum in central Amazon, Brazil

C.A. de Queiroz, N.R. Sousa, G.F. da Silva and L.A.K.A. Inoue

Tambaqui (Colossoma macropomum) is the main fish species farmed on a commercial scale in northern Brazil. In view of the current scenario of Brazilian aquaculture, studies on the genetic improvement and reproductive management of captive tambaqui are crucial in identifying the genetic variability of broodstocks and devising management practices. Genetic diversity of.. Read More»

Agrobacterium tumefaciens-mediated transformation of Lasiodiplodia theobromae, the causal agent of gummosis in cashew nut plants

C.R. Muniz, G.F. da Silva, M.T. Souza Jr., F.C.O. Freire, G.H.J. Kema and M.I.F. Guedes

Lasiodiplodia theobromae is a major pathogen of many different crop cultures, including cashew nut plants. This paper describes an efficient Agrobacterium tumefaciens-mediated transformation (ATMT) system for the successful delivery of T-DNA, transferring the genes of green fluorescent protein (gfp) and hygromycin B phosphotransferase (hph) to L. theobromae. When th.. Read More»
