No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2020-08-01; Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico (CNPq); For the lettuce crop, there is no specific or standard methodology to evaluate genotype resistance of lettuce against downy mildew. Therefore, the aim of this work was to compare three methodologies for the identification of resistanc...
Removal of lettuce basal leaves is a technique used by the seed industry; however, the effects on seed production and physiological potential are unknown. Genetic dissimilarity is fundamental in the identification of individuals in terms of traits of interest, although it is rarely considered in relation to seeds that are tolerant to thermoinhibition. The aim of this study was to ascertain the relationship betw...
Brazilian consumers are increasingly seeking unique vegetable products, such as mini lettuces. However, their production is hampered by a wide variety of pathogens, including Pectobacterium carotovorum subsp. carotovorum, which causes soft rot in lettuce. In this study, we aimed to select biofortified mini lettuce genotypes with good agronomic traits and resistance to P. carotovorum. A randomized block design c...
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...
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...
A seleção de genótipos tolerantes ao déficit hídrico pode beneficiar a culturado tomateiro favorecendo maiores produtividades. O objetivo do trabalho foi avaliar apotencialidade de solução osmótica de manitol como simulador de deficiência hídrica paraseleção de genótipos de tomateiro. Adotou-se o delineamento inteiramente casualizado (DIC)com quatro repetições. Avaliou-se a melhor concentração de manitol capaz ...
Parsley seeds [Petroselinum crispum (Mill.) Nyman ex AW Hill] must have germinations higher than 70%. But seed companies have found difficulties to get the minimum standards of germination established for this species, because of the slow and irregular germination after harvesting. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of nitrogen and potassium fertilization on the physiological quality of parsley se...
The growth habit directly influences the tomato architecture, impacting on agronomic performance of mini-tomato hybrids. However, little is known about the growth habit of mini-tomatoes hybrids obtained by the crossing of dwarf lines versus normal lines with different growth habits. The objective of this study was to determine the type of growth that occurs when crossing a mini-tomato dwarf line versus normal p...
Characteristics of food quality can affect the health of consumers and are influenced by several factors including the system of production. Lettuce has the highest sales volume of any leafy vegetable sold in Brazil and is considered a good source of vitamins, minerals and other compounds. This study aimed to determine the influence of the type of production system (conventional, organic and hydroponic) on the ...
