Fig is among the twenty main fruits exported by Brazil, which is the eighth largest producer of fig in natura in the world. The characterization of active germplasm banks (AGBs) of fig has thus become an important line of research, as it is necessary to gather information from this to carry out adequate management projects. The objective of this study was.. Read More»

Heliconia phenotypic diversity based on qualitative descriptors
Authors: W.N.R. Guimar�£es, L.S.S. Martins, C.E.F. Castro, J.L.S. Carvalho Filho and V. Loges
The aim of this study was to characterize Heliconia genotypes phenotypically using 26 qualitative descriptors. The evaluations were conducted in five flowering stems per clump in three replicates of 22 Heliconia genotypes. Data were subjected to multivariate analysis, the Mahalanobis dissimilarity measure was estimated, and th.. Read More»

Morphoagronomic characterization and genetic diversity of a common bean RIL mapping population derived from the cross Rud�¡ x AND 277
Authors: L.C. Silva, R.O. Batista, R.S.R. Anjos, M.H. Souza, P.C.S. Carneiro, T.L.P.O. Souza, E.G. Barros and J.E.S. Carneiro
Recombinant inbred lines (RILs) are a valuable resource for building genetic linkage maps. The presence of genetic variability in the RILs is essential for detecting associations between molecular markers and loci controlling agronomic traits of interest. The main goal of this study was to quantify the genetic diversity of a common beanRIL population deri.. Read More»

Characterization and comparison of transgenic Artemisia annua GYR and wild-type NON-GYR plants in an environmental release trial
Authors: H. Liu, G.G. Wu, J.B. Wang, X. Wu, L. Bai, W. Jiang, B.B. Lv, A.H. Pan, J.W. Jia, P. Li, K. Zhao, L.X. Jiang and X.M. Tang
The anti-malarial drug, artemisinin, is quite expensive as a result of its slow content in Artemisia annua. Recent investigations have suggested that genetic engineering of A. annua is a promising approach to improve the yield of artemisinin. In this study, the transgenic A. annua strain GYR, which has high artemisinin content, was evaluated in an environ.. Read More»
