Diversity and genetic parameter estimates for yield and its components in Jatro...
Freitas, R.G.; Dias, L.A.S.; Cardoso, P.M.R.; Evaristo, A.B.; Silva, M.F.; Araújo, N.M.Jatropha curcas L. is one of the most promising oilseeds for biodiesel and biokerosene production, but few basic studies or breeding programs have been conducted for the species. We estimated genetic parameters and diversity based on 10 yield traits in 77 half-sib progenies of J. curcas after 52 months in the field, and evaluated correlations between them and the oil content of the seeds. The mean grain yield p...
Retrospective study of the medium-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency in Po...
Ventura, F.V.; Leandro, P.; Luz, A.; Rivera, I.A.; Silva, M.F.; Ramos, R.; Rocha, H.; Lopes, A.; Fonseca, H.; Gaspar, A.; Diogo, L.; Martins, E.Medium-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency (MCADD) is the commonest genetic defect of mitochondrial fatty acid β-oxidation. About 60% of MCADD patients are homozygous for the c.985A>G (p.Lys329Glu) mutation in the ACADM gene (G985 allele). Herein, we present the first report on the molecular and biochemical spectrum of Portuguese MCADD population. From the 109 patients studied, 83 were diagnosed after inclu...
Effect of crystal orientation on defect production and optical activation of Er...
Alves, E.; Silva, M.F.; Soares, J.C.; Monteiro, T.; Soares, J.; Santos, L.Defect production and optical activity of Er-implanted α-Al2O3 were studied as a function of implanted dose and crystal orientation. Erbium fluences in the range of 8×1013–4×1015 Er+/cm2 were implanted into single crystalline samples with either the m-axis or c-axis normal to the surface. The energy of the Er ions was 200 keV. We found that the number of displaced O atoms was about two times higher on samples w...
