RESUMO
Em função do seu potencial produtivo, a soja [Glycine max (L.) Merrill]ocupa posição de destaque na economia brasileira. O Sul de Minas Gerais apresenta crescente interesse pela cultura, principalmente para ser utilizada em rotação com o milho. Objetivou -se, com o presente trabalho, avaliar cultivares de soja adaptadas à região. Adotou - se delineamento experimental de blocos casualizados, com 3 repetições, em esquema fatorial 2 x 24, compreendendo dois locais (Lavras - MG e Itutinga - MG), e 24 cultivares de soja. A semeadura foi realizada na primeira quinzena de novembro, anos agrícolas 2006/07 e 2007/08. Verificou-se em Lavras que as cultivares UFV 16 (3553 kg.ha-1) e Monsoy 6101 (3543 kg.ha-1) foram as mais produtivas. Em Itutinga, as cultivares que mais se destacaram foram Monsoy 8001, Conquista, Vencedora, DM Nobre, Emgopa 315, DM Vitória, Monsoy 6101, Preta, UFV 16, Emgopa 316, Santa Rosa, Aventis 7002 e CAC 1 com produtividades variando de 2958 a 3575 kg.ha-1. Todos os materiais avaliados apresentaram grau de acamamento, altura de planta e de primeiro legume favoráveis à colheita mecanizada.
Due to its productive potential, soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merrill] occupies position of prominence in the Brazilian economy. The South of the State of Minas Gerais shows a growing interest in this crop, mainly to be used in rotation with maize. The objective of this work was to evaluate cultivars of soybean adapted to this region. The experiment design was randomized blocks, with three replicates, in factorial scheme 2 x 24; 2 sites (Lavras - MG and Itutinga - MG), and 24 soybean cultivars. The sowing was done in the first half of November, agricultural years 2006/07 and 2007/08. It was found that in Lavras the cultivars UFV 16 (3553 kg.ha-1) and Monsoy 6101 (3543 kg.ha-1) promoted the highest yield. In Itutinga, the better yield cultivars were Monsoy 8001, Conquista, Vencedora, DM Nobre, Emgopa 315, DM Vitória, Monsoy 6101, Preta, UFV 16, Emgopa 316, Santa Rosa, Aventis 7002 and CAC 1, with yields ranging from 2958 to 3575 kg.ha-1. All materials showed the degree of lodging, plant height and the first pod to be favorable to mechanized harvesting.
RESUMO
⢠Response to low temperature during early growth in cultivated chickpea (Cicer arietinum) and its wild progenitor C. reticulatum was investigated to clarify the evolutionary processes under domestication in this crop. ⢠Parental lines and their F2 and F3 progeny were exposed to cold treatment (4°C) for 30°d after seed imbibition and compared with controls. ⢠Cold treatment caused a 19-d advance in flowering time in wild chickpea, but only a 3-d advance in cultivated chickpea. It also promoted apical dominance of the main stem of the wild chickpea, whereas apical dominance was constitutive in the cultivated type. F3 progeny showed significant genetic variation affecting the response of flowering time to low temperature. We suggest that selection against alleles conferring vernalization requirements was a major step in the evolution of cultivated chickpea. The reduced low-temperature response was fundamental both for the ancient conversion of chickpea from an autumn- to a spring-sown crop ('summer crop') in west Asia, and for its spread into the lower-latitude regions of India and east Africa. ⢠Attempts to improve yield and/or resistance to biotic and abiotic stresses through introgression with wild chickpea species carry the risk of reintroducing vernalization sensitive alleles into the cultigen.
