RESUMEN
Background: Present investigation was carried out to evaluate the performance of the different levels of GA3 and NAA as foliar spray on growth and yield attributes of cauliflower cv. Pusa Snowball KT-25 at Vegetable Research Farm, Regional Horticultural Research Station, ASPEE College of Horticulture and Forestry, Navsari Agricultural University, Navsari, Gujarat.Methods: The experiment was framed in Randomized Block Design with three replications, which included nine treatments.Results: The results revealed that the application of GA3 @ 150 mg l-1 (T5) recorded higher values for growth character viz., plant height (69.26 cm), number of leaves plant-1 (29.67), length of stalk (6.54 cm) as well as plant spread in N-S (69.48 cm) and E-W (71.70 cm). In case of yield attributes, the same treatment GA3 @ 150 mg l-1 (T5) at 40 and 60 DATP exhibited maximum curd diameter (17.80 cm), gross weight of curd (2.88 kg plant-1), net weight of curd (789.59 g plant-1), yield plot-1 (20.23 kg) and yield hectare-1 (31.22 t) followed by NAA @ 80 mg l-1 (T7). Whereas, days to 50 % curd initiation and days to first marketable curd did not show any significant differences.
RESUMEN
ABSTRACT: The collection and characterization of tomato germplasm are of relevant importance for agriculture. This study aimed to collect and characterize, by way of morphological description and statistical tools for the composition of groups, tomato accesses from the Southern and Serrana regions of the State of Espírito Santo, as well as to establish the tomato germplasm bank of the Ifes - Campus de Alegre. Thirty-seven accessions were collected from different commercial locations of Espírito Santo. The experiment was conducted in the Ifes Campus de Alegre in the Agroecology sector. For the morpho-agronomic characterization, sixteen essential descriptors were used, nine quantitative and seven qualitative. In the color of the ripe fruit, there was the formation of five distinct groups with the colors yellow, green, orange, pink and red. In the format of the fruit, three groups were formed, slightly flattened, flattened and rounded. The ANOVA showed that there was a significant difference for all the quantitative characteristics evaluated. According to the Ward-MLM procedure, due to the high likelihood function in group seven (from 130.71), it was possible to group the 37 genotypes into seven groups. The greatest dissimilarity was observed in groups V and VII with a distance of 330.02, and the least dissimilar ones, groups IV and VI, with 8.21. Genetic variability was detected in tomato germplasm for the morpho-agronomic characteristics. Many of the accessions are promising sources of phenotypes of interest to the Ifes germplasm bank.
RESUMO: A coleta e caracterização do germoplasma de tomate são de relevante importância para a agricultura. O presente trabalho objetivou coletar e caracterizar, por intermédio de descritores morfoagronômicos e ferramentas estatísticas, os acessos de tomate das regiões Sul e Serrana do Estado do Espírito Santo, bem como constituir o banco de germoplasma de tomate do Ifes, Campus de Alegre. Foram coletados 37 acessos de tomate em diferentes pontos comerciais do Espírito Santo. O experimento foi conduzido no Setor de Olericultura do Ifes Campus de Alegre. Para a caracterização morfoagronômica, foram utilizados 16 descritores essenciais, 9 quantitativos e 7 qualitativos. Para a característica cor do fruto maduro, houve a formação de cinco distintos grupos com as cores amarelo, verde, laranja, rosa e vermelha. No formato do fruto, houve formação de três grupos, ligeiramente achatado, achatado e arredondados. A ANOVA mostrou que houve diferença significativa para todas as características quantitativas avaliadas. Pelo procedimento Ward-MLM, devido a elevada função de verossimilhança no grupo sete (de 130.71), foi possível agrupar os 37 genótipos em sete grupos. A maior dissimilaridade foi observada nos grupos V e VII com distância de 330.02, e os menos dissimilares, os grupos IV e VI, com 8.21. Detectou-se variabilidade genética no germoplasma de tomate para as características morfo-agronômicas. Muitos dos acessos são promissoras fontes de fenótipos de interesse para o banco de germoplasma do Ifes.
RESUMEN
Objetivando analisar o número de subcultivos que permita a multiplicação do morangueiro, sem que ocorram alterações nas características fenotípicas dos clones submetidos a esse processo, explantes dos genótipos 'Aromas', 'Camarosa' e 'Camino Real' foram submetidos, em uma primeira etapa, a 12 ciclos de subcultivos in vitro e, no ano seguinte, explantes dos mesmos genótipos, das mesmas plantas matrizes, foram subcultivados por três ciclos. Após a fase de aclimatização, as mudas foram transplantadas para canteiros, e o experimento conduzido segundo delineamento em blocos casualizados em esquema fatorial 3x2 (genótipos e níveis de subcultivos). As características avaliadas foram: altura da planta e comprimento da raiz (cm), massas fresca e seca da parte aérea e da raiz (g) e número de estolões por planta. Na avaliação a campo das características fenotípicas, não foram observadas diferenças significativas entre os dois níveis de subcultivos. As cultivares 'Camarosa' e 'Camino Real' apresentaram maior variação entre os dois níveis de subcultivos, sendo as maiores variações observadas em plantas submetidas a três subcultivos. Com 12 subcultivos in vitro de plantas de morangueiro, das cultivares 'Aromas', 'Camarosa' e 'Camino Real', é possível obter maior número de mudas micropropagadas sem alterações nas características fenotípicas. A cultivar 'Aromas' apresentou uma maior estabilidade nas características fenotípicas estudadas em relação aos diferentes ciclos de subcultivo in vitro.
In order to increase the availability of healthy strawberry seedlings, this study aimed to analyze the number of subcultures that enables multiplication on a large scale, without the occurrence of changes in phenotypic characteristics of clones through the process of in vitro micropropagation. In a first step, explants of the cultivars 'Aromas', 'Camarosa' and 'Camino Real', at the Laboratory of Plant Tissue Culture, were submitted to twelve subculture cycles, and in the following year, explants of the same cultivars, from the same mother plants, were subcultured for three cycles. The acclimatization and evaluation of the plants in the field were conducted in a greenhouse at the Horticulture Sector of the Instituto of Agronomia of the Universidade Federal Rural do Rio de Janeiro. The experimental design was randomized blocks in a 3x2 factorial, (genotypes and subculture levels). The characteristics evaluated were plant height and root length (cm), fresh mass and dry mass of shoots and roots (g) and number of stolons per plant. In the field evaluation, no differences between the two levels of subcultures were observed. Cultivars 'Camarosa' and 'Camino Real' showed the highest variation between the two levels of subcultures, with the greatest variations observed in plants subjected to three subcultures. With twelve in vitro subcultures of strawberry plants, of cultivars 'Aromas', 'Camarosa' and 'Camino Real', it is possible to obtain greater number of plantlets without changes in phenotypic characteristics. The cultivar 'Aromas' showed greater stability in phenotypic characteristics studied in relation to different cycles of in vitro subculture.
RESUMEN
Three sesame genotypes (Rama, SI 1666 and IC 21706) were treated with physical (γ-rays: 200 Gy, 400 Gy or 600 Gy) or chemical (ethyl methane sulphonate, EMS: 0.5 percent, 1.0 percent, 1.5 percent or 2.0 percent) mutagens and their mutagenic effectiveness and efficiency were estimated in the M2 generation. The M3 generation was used to identify the most effective mutagen and dose for induction of mutations. The average effectiveness of EMS was much higher than γ-rays. The lowest dose of γ-rays (200 Gy) and the lowest concentration of EMS (0.5 percent) showed the highest mutagenic efficiency in all genotypes. Analysis of the M3 generation data based on parameters such as the variance ratio and the difference in residual variances derived from the model of Montalván and Ando indicated that 0.5 percent concentration of EMS was the most effective treatment for inducing mutations.
RESUMEN
0.05). The factor score of "preoccupation"in patients with Ins/Del genotype was higher than that with Ins/Ins and Del/Del genotypes(P=0.052),as well as in male patients of experimental group(P=0.052). CONCLUSION: The results suggest that D?H gene-4784-4803del polymorphism may not be associated with qualitative and quantitative characters of schizophrenia. Male schizophrenia patients with Ins/Del encoding D?H gene-4784-4803del are significantly characterized with the character of "preoccupation".
