In the improvement of pumpkins, the selection based on one or a few characters of interest tends to be less efficient, leading to a superior product only compared to the few characters selected. To maximize the simultaneous selection of multiple characteristics of interest, selection indexes are used to obtain a numerical value resulting from the combination of the characters on which the simultaneous selection...
CAPES - Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior; A cultura da abobrinha italiana (C. pepo) possui destaque a nível mundial, com demanda por genótipos mais produtivos, precoces, resistentes a doenças e boas características de frutos. Para tal, novas ferramentas são buscadas pelos melhoristas para maximizar a seleção em grandes áreas experimentais no menor tempo possível, sendo que a utilizaçã...
The pepper crop is cultivated in all Brazilian regions,and the planting system with the arrangement of plants in the single-row prevails. Therefore, this work aimed to evaluate the agronomic performance and physiological quality of the seeds of different pepper genotypes according to the planting systems. The experiment was carried out at the Federal University of Uberlândia, in Monte Carmelo, in a randomized b...
DIVERSIDADE GENÉTICA ENTRE GENÓTIPOS DE ALFACE COM DIFERENTES NÍVEIS DE BIOFORTIFICAÇÃO POR CAROTENÓIDES Alimentos ricos em carotenóides podem auxiliar na prevenção de diversas doenças. A alface é uma das hortaliças mais consumidas no mundo apresentando potencial para investimento em biofortificação. No entanto, existem poucos genótipos de alface biofortificado disponíveis no mercado, inclusive, para uso direto...
The preservation methods for fungi have great importance in ex situ collections, representing important biological heritage, useful for mycologists and plant pathologists in several scientific works. However, there is a lack of studies for a suiTable and efficient preservation method for the different groups of fungi. Although, the most appropriate is the one that maintain, even after long periods, the original...
The ex situ fungal cultures collections represent important biological heritage and is useful for mycologists and plant pathologists, supporting several scientific works. They provide viable pathogens anytime and assisting at identification, morpho-physiological aspects, life cycle, epidemiology, resistance to fungicides and breeding programs in resistance of diseases. However, there is not a universal preserva...
In several species, seed longevity may be influenced by genotype and storage environment. It is scarce researches that evaluated those effects in onion seeds. From the exposed, it was aimed to evaluate the behavior from onion seeds of different genotypes stored in three conditions of relative humidity (25; 35 and 45% RH) monitored during six different storage periods. The research was executed at the Laboratóri...
A mancha branca do milho apresenta ampla distribuição pelas áreas produtoras de milho no Brasil, sendo uma das principais doenças da cultura, ao ponto de ter se tornado um entrave para a sua expansão. A doença é ocasionada por um complexo de patógenos, dificultando seu manejo pelo produtor. O presente trabalho objetiva avaliar a eficácia da combinação de diferentes fungicidas com antibióticos, no manejo da doen...
