The African eggplant is a solanaceous vegetable with bitter tasting immature fruit of various colors (light green, dark green, white) and shapes (from elongated to round). Because it is a little known vegetable, there are few studies on the inheritance of its economically important traits. The objective of this work had was to study the inheritance of shape and immature fruit color in S. gilo, in order to assi...
In order to quantify the genetic divergence between 22 accessions of pigeonpea by analyzing clusters based on morpho agronomic characters, in addition to indicating more promising crosses to continue the pigeonpea species improvement program, this study was carried out. The experimental design used was the completely randomized design. The averaging cluster test was performed, according to Scott Knott at 5% pro...
The aim of this study was to assess resistance to some of the major sweet pepper pathogens [Phytophthora capsici, Pepper yellow mosaic virus (PepYMV) and Meloidogyne incognita] in a group of experimental hybrids and their respective parental lines, and to identify hybrids possibly resistant to all three pathogens. Ten parental breeding lines, thirty experimental hybrids and seven commercial controls (Konan-R, M...
Los objetivos de este trabajo fueron evaluar la heterosis y sus componentes en los híbridos F1 de una dialélico entre líneas de jiló (Solanum gilo Raddi, syn. S. aethiopicum L.), y el estudio de los modos de acción de los genes asociados con su expresión. Seis líneas (Morro Redondo, Branco Comprido, BGH-1544, Tinguá, Irajá, Comprido Verde Claro) y 15 híbridos resultantes de un cruce dialélico entre ellos (recíp...
The objectives of this work were to assess heterosis and its components in F1 hybrids of a diallel cross among lines of scarlet eggplants (Solanum gilo Raddi, syn. S. aeth opicum L.), and to study the modes of gene action associated with its expression. Six lines (Morro Redondo, Branco Comprido, BGH-1544, Tinguá, Irajá, Comprido Verde Claro) and 15 hybrids resulting from a diallel cross among them (reciprocal...
