Correlations between fruit yield and sensory and nutritional quality of pumpkin...
BORGES, R. M. E.; LIMA, M. A. C. de; MELO, N. F. deTraits related to fruit yield and physical and chemical fruit quality are being evaluated by Embrapa pumpkin breeding program. Path and Pearson's correlation analysis are necessary to allow the knowledge of the relation between the variables of interest for this program. The objective of the present study was to determine the genetic correlations between yield- and sensorial and nutritional quality attributes-a...
Prediction of genetic and selection parameters in pumpkin (Cucurbita moschata D...
BORGES, R. M. E.; LIMA, M. A. C. de; LIMA NETO, I. da S.; MELO, N. F. deThe estimation of genetic parameters allows for the selection of superior individuals for important traits in plant breeding. The objectives of the present study were to estimate and predict the gains in genetic parameters, as well as to select superior individuals for morphoagronomic and pulp quality characteristics in C. moschata. Ten progenies derived from accessions collected in the northeast of Brazil were...
Sexual expression and mating system in watermelon: implications for breeding pr...
FERREIRA, M. A. J. da F.; QUEIROZ, M. A. de; VENCOVSKY, R.; BRAZ, L. T.; VIEIRA, M. L. C.; BORGES, R. M. E.This study had the follwing objectives: to investigate the sexual expression in seven watermelon populations; to evaluate some population parameters and the genetic potential of a population (PCS) obtained by crossing and segregating for sexual expression and other traits. For verifying the sexual expression, populations were evaluated with respect to type of flower controlled conditions. Maternal and selfed pr...
Variability of total carotenoids in C. Moschata genotypes.
CARVALHO, L. M. J. DE; CARVALHO, J. L. V. de; BORGES, R. M. E.; KASER, I. M.; LIMA, V. G.; SOUSA, D. S. F. DENowadays, the vitamin A deficiency (VAD) is still a public health concern, being one of the most important components of the high rate of morbidity and mortality among children in developing countries. There is a high prevalence of night blindness caused by deficiency of vitamin A. Children and pregnant women are particularly affected. Many pumpkins (C. moschata) genotypes present a great variability of caroten...

MOURA, M. S. B. de; BORGES, R. M. E.; BRANDÃO, E. O.; LEAO, P. C. de S.; SOUZA, L. S. B. de; GONÇALVES, N. P. da S.; GOMES, A. P. de O.This was considered as a new wine making region and one of the most important in tropical zones. Where there is not enough information about phenological and thermal demand of wine grapes cultivars. The climate is unique and classified as semi-árid, where the mean total annual precipitation is 540mm, the corresponding mean pan evaporation is 2700mm and the mean annual air temperature is 26.5°C. .; Suplement 1. ...
Preliminary characterization of Psidium germplasm in different Brazilian ecogeo...
SANTOS, C. A. F.; CASTRO, J. M. da C.; SOUZA, F. de F.; VILARINHO, A. A.; FEREIRA, F. R.; PÁDUA, J. G.; BORGES, R. M. E.; BARBIERI, R. L.O objetivo deste trabalho foi caracterizar 119 acessos de goiabeira e 40 acessos de araçazeiro identificados em 35 ecorregiões brasileiras, de acordo com descritores da International Union for the Protection of New Varieties of Plants (UPOV). A maioria dos acessos de araçazeiro apresentou grandes espaços entre as nervuras da folha, enquanto os de goiabeira apresentaram espaços pequenos. Os frutos de araçazeiro ...
