The study of promoters has become essential to elucidate genetic regulation and allow new genetic transformation strategies through plant biotechnology. The challenge is to discover and validate promoters that can regulate gene transcription spatially and/or temporally. The goal of this work was to validate genes associated with tissue-specific promoters of bananas obtained from in silico sequences and selected...
Varronia curassavica Jacq. is a medicinal and aromatic plant from Brazil with significant economic importance. Studies on genetic diversity in active germplasm banks (AGB) are essential for conservation and breeding programs. The aim of this study was to analyze the genetic diversity of V. curassavica accessions of the AGB of Medicinal and Aromatic Plants of the Federal University of Sergipe (UFS), using inter-...
Eplingiella fruticosa (Salzm. ex Benth.) Harley & J.F.B. Pastore, ex Hyptis fruticosa Salzm. ex Benth. is an aromatic and medicinal plant of the family Lamiaceae, found mainly in regions with intense anthropic activity. Information on the genetic diversity of this species is scarce. However, it can be assessed using molecular markers that identify the level of diversity among phenotypically identical individual...
Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico; O nematóide de galhas, Meloidogyne exigua, parasita o cafeeiro (Coffea sp.) e sua erradicação das regiões infestadas é impraticável. Estudos anteriores mostraram que a resistência a M. exigua é controlada por um gene de herança simples, designado Mex-1, presente em C. canephora. Linhagens de café arábica apresentando resistência têm sido desenvolvid...
