Coffee is one of the most valuable agricultural commodities and ranks second on international trade exchanges. The genus Coffea belongs to Rubiaceae family which includes other important plants. contains about 100 species but commercial production based only two species, arabica canephora that represent 70 % 30 total coffee market, respectively. Brazilian Genome Project was designed with objective making modern genomics resources available scientific community, working different aspects...
The growing global demand for vegetable oils food and replacing fossil fuels leads to increased oilseeds production. Almost 122 of the current 187 million tons produced in world correspond palm soybean oils. oil is cultivated tropical zone, areas formerly occupied by forests, a by-product protein meal diversification raw materials market thus strategic both non-food sectors. Sources should be economically competitive provide sustainability indexes higher than that provided soybean. In this...
Abstract Background Coffee is one of the world's most important crops; it consumed worldwide and plays a significant role in economy producing countries. Coffea arabica C. canephora are responsible for 70 30% commercial production, respectively. an allotetraploid from recent hybridization diploid species, eugenioides . has lower genetic diversity results higher quality beverage than Research initiatives have been launched to produce genomic transcriptomic data about spp. as strategy improve...
Abstract Polyploidization constitutes a common mode of evolution in flowering plants. This event provides the raw material for divergence function homeologous genes, leading to phenotypic novelty that can contribute success polyploids nature or their selection use agriculture. Mounting evidence underlined existence expression biases polyploid genomes; however, strategies analyze such transcriptome regulation remained scarce. Important factors regarding remain be explored, as whether this...
Acrocomia (Arecaceae) is a genus widely distributed in tropical and subtropical America that has been achieving economic interest due to the great potential of oil production some its species. In particular A . aculeata , vocation supply with same productive capacity as palm ( Elaeis guineenses ) even areas water deficit. Although eight species are recognized genus, taxonomic classification based on morphology geographic distribution still controversial. Knowledge about genetic diversity...
Acrocomia aculeata is a perennial, fruit-producing palm tree, native to tropical forests. Its fruits have spurred interest because of their significant potential for use in the cosmetic industry and as feedstock biofuel. In present study, genetic structure mating system were analyzed, using eight nuclear microsatellite loci samples from São Paulo Minas Gerais states, Brazil. By means Bayesian analysis, these populations clustered into two or three groups. A high multilocus outcrossing rate...
The macaúba palm is a novel feedstock for oil production suitable multiple uses, including as biodiesel and in the food cosmetic industries. As an efficient alternative, has limited genomic resources, particularly expressed sequence tag (EST) markers. We report comprehensive set of validated EST-simple repeat (SSR) markers by using transcriptome sequencing, its application genetic diversity analysis cross transferability other trees with environmental economic importance. In this study,...
One of the greatest problems in Coffea arabica breeding is identifying precisely any inbred line, based only on botanical and agronomical descriptors, because reduced genetic variability species, close pedigree origin, which results small phenotypic variation. Recently, molecular markers have been used for plant germplasm characterization identification several commercial species. This work evaluates reliability three marker systems: RAPD, AFLP SSR, to characterize commercially-used lines...
A wide array of molecular markers has been used to investigate the genetic diversity among common bean species. However, best combination for studying such cultivars yet be determined. Few reports have examined carioca bean, commercially one most important beans in Brazil. In this study, we usefulness two marker systems (simple sequence repeats - SSRs and amplified fragment length polymorphisms AFLPs) assessing beans. The amount information provided by Roger's modified distance was analyze...
This work focuses on the genetic diversity of American cassava through RAPD molecular markers. The 126 genotypes studied were distributed four geographical levels ranging from local to continental. Samples included ethnocultivars Santa Isabel community in Brazilian Amazon, cultivars collected State São Paulo, native accessions very diverse regions, and representative Centro Internacional de Agricultura Tropical (CIAT) core collection. Eighty-eight polymorphic bands analyzed. Results revealed...
RAPD markers were used to investigate the genetic diversity of 31 Brazilian cassava clones. The results compared with revealed by botanical descriptors. Both sets variates identical relationships among cultivars. Multivariate analysis similarities placed genotypes destinated for consumption "in nature" in one group, and cultivars useful flour production another. Brazil’s abundance landraces presents a broad dispersion is consequently an important resource variability. descriptors not able...
The genus Acrocomia (Arecaceae) is widely distributed in the Neotropics, without consensus on number of species. arboreal species are explored their native countries. To subsidize better use observed variation fruits different for product extraction, taxonomy, conservation and genetic improvement, our objective was to characterize biometrically anatomically mesocarp from natural populations A. aculeata, intumescens totai. We colors epicarp aculeata totai, while were light green or yellowish....
The aim of common bean breeding programs is the development high-yielding cultivars, with multiple disease resistance and high technological nutritional grain quality. Two IAC-Alvorada carioca grain, IAC-Diplomata black meet these standards, according to results trials Value for Cultivation Use (VCU) 2005/2006/2007 in Sao Paulo. developed by Instituto AgronUmico de Campinas, were registered MAPA/RNC.
Common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) is present in the daily diet of various countries and, as for other legumes, has been investigated its nutraceutical potential. Thus, 16 genotypes from different gene pools, representing seven types seed coats and responses to pathogens pests, were selected verify their isoflavone contents. The isoflavonoids daidzein genistein flavonols kaempferol, myricetin, quercetin found. Grains black type showed highest concentrations only ones exhibit daidzein. IAC...
Macaw (Acrocomia aculeata) is a native palm tree from tropical forests, highly abundant in Brazil and cited as one of the principal sources plant oil, thus presenting high potential for biodiesel production. We have optimized utilized set eight polymorphic microsatellite markers A. aculeata an enriched genomic library. Automatic sequencing fluorescence detection were employed to analyse 43 individuals natural populations. In this study, we obtained average number five alleles per locus....
Germplasm banks store genotype samples, improved varieties, landraces and wild species, all generically denominated accessions. The importance of characterizing germplasm is based on the identification knowledge relevant traits for genetic improvement ex situ conservation. Thus, present study had as aim evaluation diversity among 220 accessions a Brazilian common bean bank "Instituto Agronômico de Campinas" (IAC) by means 23 morpho-agronomical descriptors 19 RAPD loci. These correspond to...
Lippia alba (Verbenaceae) is a shrub whose essential oil has important biological, pharmacological, and aromatizing properties. To reach the sustained cultivation of new species with economic potential, present study aimed to evaluate L. performance for fresh leaf matter (FM), dry (DM), virus symptoms (VS - Cucumber mosaic virus, CMV), yield (OY), chemical composition (OC), DM stability adaptability. Ten genotypes four groups (chemotypes) were evaluated in six experiments designed as...
