Abstract In melon (Cucumis melo) the resistance to Cucumber Mosaic Virus (CMV) and the knowledge about reproductive characteristics are important for selection of genitors for breeding population. So, the objective was to investigate if different accessions of melon from a Brazilian germplasm bank have variability in resistance to CMV (FNY strain) and polymorphism in resistance loci markers, as well as whether ...
Abstract Knowledge about the Brazilian fungal diversity was, until 2010, recorded in few taxonomy and ecology publications, as well as in a handful of species lists. With the publication of the Catálogo de Plantas e Fungos do Brasil and the continued availability of an online list, it has been possible to aggregate this dispersed knowledge. The version presented here adds 2,111 species names to the 3,608 listed...
The Amazon has a high diversity of fungi, including species of the genus Daldinia (Ascomycota, Xylariaceae), which produce secondary metabolites with recognized nematicidal and antimicrobial activity. The ecological role of Daldinia is important, as stromata serve as refuges to many insects and arthropodes, and the fungi contribute to the degradation of vegetable organic matter. The aim of this study was to ana...
