Using thermography to confirm genotypic variation for drought response in maize.

The feasibility of thermography as a technique for plant screening aiming at drought-tolerance has been proven by its relationship with gas exchange, biomass, and yield. In this study, unlike most of the previous, thermography was applied for phenotyping contrasting maize genotypes whose classification for drought tolerance had already been established in the field. Our objective was to determine whether thermo...

Silencing of a BAHD acyltransferase in sugarcane increases biomass digestibility.

Background: Sugarcane (Saccharum spp.) covers vast areas of land (around 25 million ha worldwide), and its processing is already linked into infrastructure for producing bioethanol in many countries. This makes it an ideal candidate for improving composition of its residues (mostly cell walls), making them more suitable for cellulosic ethanol production. In this paper, we report an approach to improving sacchar...

Enhanced resistance to citrus canker in transgenic sweet orange expressing the ...

Citrus canker, caused by the bacterial pathogen Xanthomonas citri subp. Citri (Xcc), is a serious disease reported in most citrus-producing areas around the world. Although different levels of field resistance to citrus canker have been reported in sweet oranges, they are usually not sufficient to provide adequate control of the disease. Ectopic over-expression of antibacterial genes is one of the potential str...

Development of novel simple sequence repeat markers from a genomic sequence sur...

The last few years have seen a significant increase in the number of large-scale sequencing projects generating whole genome databases. These sequence databases can be surveyed (genome sequence survey) for tandem repeats as an alternative means to develop microsatellites for monitoring and selecting natural populations and cultivars of Jatropha curcas. A total of 100 tandem repeats were revealed from mining 368...

Phenology and biometry of physic nut in the Brazilian Savannah.

Estudos fenológicos de três acessos morfologicamente distintos de Jatropha curcas foram conduzidos no bioma Cerrado brasileiro. A taxa de crescimento da planta, florescimento, formação e desenvolvimento dos frutos foram medidos, a fim de se estabelecer práticas de manejo eficientes para o aumento de produtividade. Os acessos estudados foram: CNPAE-102 (tóxico, susceptível a oídio), CNPAE-169 (não-tóxico, suscep...

Genetic parameters and variability in physic nut accessions during early develo...

The objective of this work was to estimate the genetic parameters and variability among accessions (half-sib families) of physic nut (Jatropha curcas) during the early stages of development. For this study, 110 accessions in the first year of development of the physic nut germplasm bank, maintained at Embrapa Cerrados, DF, Brazil, were evaluated in situ. The experiment was established in a randomized complete b...
