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
Cassava (Manihot esculenta) is a traditional crop in tropical and subtropical regions that is used for human consumption and in animal feed. This studied cassava landraces cultivated in northern Mato Grosso State, Brazil, to detect the variability in family farms, aiming at the preservation and use potential of these genetic resources. A total of 120 M ... more
Cassava is one of the main energy foods for millions of people, and has a great diversity of ethno-varieties that have specific characteristics often not found in commercial varieties. These constitute a gene pool and therefore a genetic resource that should be conserved and preserved. In this context, the objective of our study was to evaluate the genetic ... 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
Camu – camu, Myrciaria dubia (Myrtaceae) is a native species of the Amazon Rainforest that has been attracting attention worldwide and arousing great interest in the food and pharmacological industries due to the high concentrations of ascorbic acid in its fruit, which is exported to several countries. Characterizing different materials of M. dubia ... 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
The Neotropical tree Hymenaea courbaril, locally known as Jatobá, is a valuable source of lumber and also produces comestible and medicinal fruit. We characterized Mendelian inheritance, linkage and genotypic disequilibrium at nine microsatellite loci isolated from H. courbaril, in order to determine if they would provide accurate estimates of population genetic parameters of ... more
The purpleback flying squid (Sthenoteuthis oualaniensis) is a pelagic squid with tremendous potential for commercial exploitation. We isolated and characterized 21 polymorphic microsatellite loci for S. oualaniensis using a (GT)13-enriched genomic library. The number of alleles per locus varied from 6 to 32. The observed and expected heterozygosities ranged ... more
Pteroceltis tatarinowii (Ulmaceae) is a scientifically and economically important temperate deciduous tree that is endemic to China. In the present study, 12 P. tatarinowii polymorphic microsatellite loci were developed using the tailed primer-M13-simple sequence repeats (TP-M13-SSR) biotin-capture method. The number of alleles per locus ranged from 2 to 10, with an ... more
