The development of common bean cultivars with upright plant architecture and high grain yield meets the needs of bean growers by facilitating culture management and mechanized harvest. The objectives of this study were to evaluate whether Mesoamerican common bean lines differ for upright plant architecture traits and grain yield, analyze correlations between these ... more
Malagueta (Capsicum frutescens) is one of the most widely consumed and cultivated Brazilian hot peppers. It is an important crop for smallholder farmers throughout the country. Currently, the demand for new hot pepper cultivars is increasing. A germplasm collection of C. frutescens is maintained at Embrapa Vegetables, Brasilia, ... more
Conservation of seeds ex situ is an important strategy for maintaining genetic resources. Mulatinho type common beans are widely cultivated and consumed in regions with extreme climatic conditions with semi-arid characteristics, including low fertility soils, and a dry and hot climate, such as in northern Minas Gerais state and the northeast region of ... more
Knowledge about the genetic variability of pineapple makes it possible to select characteristics of interest and plan crosses to obtain a promising cultivar for the market. This study aimed at the characterization and genetic divergence of pineapple clones from the crosses: IAC Fantástico x Jupi, BRS Imperial x Pérola, BRS Imperial x Smooth Cayenne and BRS Vitória ... more
Argopecten purpuratus and Argopecten irradians irradians hybridization was successfully performed and the hybrid offspring displayed apparent heterosis in growth traits. To better understand the genetic basis of heterosis, the genomic composition and genetic variation of the hybrids were analyzed with amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) and simple sequence repeat (SSR) ... more
Herein, we describe 34 microsatellite loci developed using an enrichment genomic library for the tree species Hancornia speciosa Gomes (Apocynaceae). Thirty-five individuals were genotyped using 34 primers to analyze the polymorphisms at each locus. The number of alleles per locus ranged from 4 to 20. The average number of alleles was 8.11, and the expected heterozygosity ranged from ... more
Effective breeding programs based on genetic diversity are needed to broaden the genetic basis of rice (Oryza sativa L.) in Turkey. In this study, 81 commercial varieties from seven countries were studied in order to estimate the genomic relationships among them using nine inter-primer binding site (iPBS)-retrotransposon and 17 simple-sequence repeat (SSR) markers. A total of 59 ... more
Sunflower cannot produce high yields under water-limiting conditions. The aim of the present study was to prevent the impediments on yield and to develop varieties with high-yield potential under water scarce conditions. For achieving this objective, it is necessary to detect parents with desirable traits that mainly depend on the action of genes controlling the ... more
Cotesia flavipes (Cameron) is a parasitoid wasp used in the biological control of the sugarcane borer (Diatraea saccharalis) (Fabr., 1794). Studies on the genetic diversity of C. flavipes are hampered by the lack of highly polymorphic molecular markers. In this report, a set of 11 microsatellite loci were ... more
The mangaba, Hancornia speciosa, (Apocynaceae) is a fruit tree native to Brazil with predominantly extractivist production. The fruit can be consumed in natura; however, it is widely consumed as frozen pulp and ice cream produced by agro-industry companies. We evaluated the genetic diversity of 213 individuals that make up the mangaba GeneBank of ... more
