Genetic progress resulting from forty-three years of breeding of the carioca common bean in Brazil

L. D. Barili, Vale, N. M., Moura, L. M., Paula, R. G., Silva, F. F., Carneiro, J. E. S., Barili, L. D., Vale, N. M., Moura, L. M., Paula, R. G., Silva, F. F., and Carneiro, J. E. S., “Genetic progress resulting from forty-three years of breeding of the carioca common bean in Brazil”, vol. 15, p. -, 2016.

We aimed to evaluate 40 common bean cultivars recommended by various Brazilian research institutions between 1970 and 2013 and estimate the genetic progress obtained for grain yield and other agronomic traits. Additionally, we proposed a bi-segmented nonlinear regression model to infer the year in which breeding began to show significant gains in Brazil. The experiment was carried out in Viçosa/MG and Coimbra/MG, in the dry and winter seasons of 2013. For this, a randomized complete block design with three replications was employed.

Genetic diversity among different physiological traits of Sorghum bicolor cultivars of subtropical origin

S. O. Bafeel, “Genetic diversity among different physiological traits of Sorghum bicolor cultivars of subtropical origin”, vol. 14, pp. 9974-9984, 2015.

The genetic diversity of Saudi locally growing sorghum (Sorghum bicolor) cultivars has not been thoroughly characterized. To understand the genomic patterns of diversification in Saudi sorghum cultivars (N = 7), random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) was used as a rapid, inexpensive method for providing information regarding genomic variability below the species level. Six commercially available primers were initially used to select a single primer based on availability, universality, and its use with standard polymerase chain reaction (PCR) conditions.
