In silico modeling and characterization of phytoparasitic nematodes translationally-controlled tumor proteins

Plant parasitic nematodes infect a wide range of hosts representing the largest source of biotic stress experienced by plants. Meloidogyne genus comprises the most important parasitic nematodes, also known as root-knot nematodes. These parasitic organisms obtain nutrients to support their development through complex interactions with their hosts. The translationally.. Read More»

Genetic diversity of the Neotropical tree Hancornia speciosa Gomes in natural populations in Northeastern Brazil

    H.J. Jimenez, L.S.S. Martins, A.V.V. Montarroyos, J.F. Silva Junior, A.L. Alzate-Marin and R.M. Moraes Filho

Mangabeira (Hancornia speciosa Gomes) is a fruit tree of the Apocynaceae family, which is native to Brazil and is a very important food resource for human populations in its areas of occurrence. Mangabeira fruit is collected as an extractive activity, and no domesticated varieties or breeding programs exist. Due to a reduction in the area of ecosystems where it occurs, mangabeira is threatened .. Read More»

Genetic diversity and morphological characterization of half-sib families of Heliconia bihai L., H. chartacea Lane ex Barreiros, and H. wagneriana Peterson

    F.R.A. Pereira, R.M. Moraes Filho, L.S.S. Martins, A.V.V. Montarroyos and V. Loges

The Neotropical Heliconia genus contains highly diversified plants and up to 220 species have been reported from the north of Mexico to the South of Brazil. Heliconia are cultivated as ornamental garden plants and as cut flowers. All species can be propagated by seeds or vegetatively, through rhizomes. Depending on the species, an individual plant can spread and for.. Read More»

In silico comparative analysis of tylenchid nematode pectate lyases

    R.M. Moraes Filho and L.S.S. Martins

Phytoparasitic nematodes can infect a wide range of crop plants, and cause billions of dollars of agricultural losses each year. These parasites represent the largest source of biotic stress experienced by plants. The order Tylenchida comprises the most important parasitic nematodes, particularly the root-knot and cyst nematodes. These parasitic organisms obtain nutrients to support their devel.. Read More»

Response of Malpighia emarginata active germplasm bank accessions to Meloidogyne enterolobii parasitism

    A.A. Moreira, L.S.S. Martins, R.S. Musser, R.M. Moraes Filho, W.A. Maranhão, J.G.A. Rossiter and A.V.V. Montarroyos

Malpighia emarginata is cultivated in almost all Brazil and is considered an important agricultural crop. The root-knot nematode Meloidogyne enterolobii has been described as a major threat to this crop, causing great production losses. Due to the scarcity of information about the severity of this parasite in M. emarginata plants in Brazil, this study investigated M.. Read More»

Genetic variability in accessions of the acerola germplasm bank of Universidade Federal Rural de Pernambuco, Brazil

    R.M. Moraes Filho1, L.S.S. Martins2, R.S. Musser3, A.V.V. Montarroyos3 and E.F. Silva2

Brazil is the world’s largest producer of acerola, Malpighia emarginata (Malpighiaceae); the Northeast is responsible for 60% of the national production. The culture of acerola in Brazil has great genetic variability; plantings have high phenotypic diversity and are not very productive, often originating from propagation by seed. We evaluated the genetic diversity of 42 accessions from th.. Read More»

Fragmentation effects and genetic diversity of the key semidecidual forest species Metrodorea nigra in Southwestern Brazil

    R.M. Moraes Filho, F. Bonifácio-Anacleto and A.L. Alzate-Marin

Studies of genetic diversity in plant species present in the remaining fragments of the Atlantic Forest are very important for understanding their resilience to such a degraded ecosystem. We analyzed the genetic diversity of 3 populations of the high-density understory species Metrodorea nigra St. Hill. (Rutaceae) located in forest remnants in the region of Ribeirão Preto, SP, Brazil (M1.. Read More»
