The aim of pumpkin breeding programs is to develop cultivars that meet the production, commercial quality, and nutritional value, considering several attributes. Therefore, the objective of this study was to select pumpkin genotypes with high fruit quality for future use in genetic breeding programs. Two production cycles were carried out. The eval...
Selecting genotypes tolerant to high temperatures is an important measure for agricultural maintenance and production in climate change scenarios. Thus, this study aimed to select cowpea genotypes tolerant to increased air temperature. A total of 20 cowpea genotypes were used, cultivated under temperature regimes of 20–26–33 °C and 24.8–30.8–37.8 °...
A engenharia de grãos traz resultados importantes sobre a característica individual de cada genótipo, sendo assim, o objetivo deste trabalho foi de avaliar as propriedades de engenharia de diferentes clones de C. canephora no estado de Rondônia. Foram avaliados 86 genótipos ao longo de duas safras com delineamento experimental inteiramente casualiz...
Species of the genus Cynodon are among the most cultivated forage crops in the world due to their high yield and nutritional quality, and its use in cattle feeding has been associated with gains in animal weight and increased milk production. The objective of this study was to model covariance structures in Cynodon spp. clones and study the changes...
O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar o desempenho de genótipos de acerola quanto à qualidade pós-colheita de frutos dos genótipos BRS 366 Jaburu, Clone 09, Clone 13, Clone 14, Junko e Sertaneja, cultivados no sudoeste piauiense, Nordeste do Brasil. Utilizou-se o delineamento em blocos casualizados (DBC), com tratamentos constituídos por seis genót...
Umbu (Spondias tuberosa Arruda) is a wild fruit species distributed all over the Caatinga biome in the Northeast of Brazil. The objective of this study was to analyze the physicochemical quality variability of umbu genotypes in the Caatinga biome, and to identify the most promising ones for fresh fruit consumption, processing industry and breeding ...
Plant selection conducted in commercial orchards is mainly based on plant features. This study characterizes and selects acerola tree genotypes with promising features for cultivation in the Gurguéia Valley region, Piauí. Twenty-five genotypes were used, consisting of 15 clones (CL 03, CL 08, CL 09, CL 12, CL 13, CL 14, CL 20, CL 23, CL 26, CL 27, ...
Common bean provides diet rich in vitamins, fiber, minerals, and protein, which could contribute into food security of needy populations in many countries. Developing genotypes that associate favorable agronomic and grain quality traits in the common bean crop could increase the chances of adopting new cultivars black bean. In this context, the pre...
O aumento da temperatura causa impactos diretos na produção de feijão-caupi, pois afeta a viabilidade polínica e pode interferir nos parâmetros fisiológicos da planta. Com isso objetivou-se selecionar genótipos de feijão-caupi tolerantes ao aumento da temperatura do ar. O experimento foi conduzido em câmaras de crescimento do tipo Fitotron, em dois...
