Genetic diversity is an essential factor for the success of any plant breeding program and should be considered to ensure genetic gain through breeding. In Brazil, research on population structure soybean required since species important commodity country. The study addressed 77 genotypes using 35 SSR markers. estimate index showed that level in collection low. Similarly, Jaccard coefficient Bayesian model based clustering analysis confirmed low among genotypes, providing evidence assumption...
The study was done with the objective of assessing genetic diversity existing among Ethiopian and ICARDA barley germplasm using multivariate data analyses. experiment conducted at Asasa Ambo in Ethiopia, 10 x simple lattices two replications. To quantify differentiation genotypes canonical discriminant analysis, clustering analysis Mahanalobis (D 2 ) distance were used. indicated that first variates explained 95% 91% total variation Ambo, respectively. At both locations, showed maximum on...

Jatropha (Jatropha curcas L.) has potential as an oilseed crop that requires the development of technology for its exploitation.The objective this study was to assess population structure and genetic diversity in jatropha accessions at a global level using simple sequence repeat (SSR) molecular markers.Jatropha (N = 109) from 10 countries were genotyped SSR markers.The results showed low among 92 originating India, Mozambique, Ethiopia, Tanzania, Brazil, Honduras, Indonesia, which grouped...
to improve grain yield.The significant positive correlation of spike/ m 2 , 1000-kernel weight, and grain-filling period the direct effect on yield indicated potential these traits as indirect selection criteria in early production system Ethiopia.This study also showed that path coefficient analysis based an ontogenetic model was efficient produced results can be interpreted clearly.
Myrciaria dubia (camu-camu) is an Amazon tree that produces a tart fruit with high vitamin C content.It probably the highest content among all Brazilian crops and it can be used to supplement daily dose.This property has attracted attention of consumers and, consequently, encouraged farmers produce it.In order identify select potential accessions for commercial exploitation breeding programs, M. C.F. Nunes et al. Genetics Molecular Research 16 (1): gmr16019409dubia received considerable...
The jelly palm plant [Butia capitata (Martius) Beccari] is a native of the Cerrado biome used for many purposes in northern Minas Gerais State, Brazil. Dormancy common seeds, resulting slow and uneven germination that may take years to complete. Modification growth pattern, anatomical parameters, physiological biochemical characteristics can be verified due changes light spectrum transmitted through colored shade nets used. Therefore, objective this study evaluate effect on leaf root anatomy...
Meloidogyne species are destructive phytonematodes that result in reduced yields of coffee.The classic test for resistance to exigua coffee progenies is both expensive and time-consuming.The use molecular marker techniques can assist the selection process when it difficult measure phenotype, such as cases nematode infestation.The objective this study was identify microsatellite markers associated with M. F 5 derived from a cross between Híbrido de Timor 440-10 Catuaí Amarelo IAC 86.Of 44...
Cambuci (Campomanesia phaea) belongs to the Myrtaceae family and is native Atlantic Forest of Brazil.It has ecological social appeal but exposed problems associated with environmental degradation expansion agricultural activities in region.Comprehensive studies on this species are rare, making its conservation genetic improvement difficult.Thus, it important develop research understand current situation as well make recommendations for use.This study was performed characterize cambuci...
