Brazilian consumers are increasingly seeking unique vegetable products, such as mini lettuces. However, their production is hampered by a wide variety of pathogens, including Pectobacterium carotovorum subsp. carotovorum, which causes soft rot in lettuce. In this study, we aimed to select biofortified mini lettuce genotypes with good agronomic traits and resistance to P. carotovorum. A randomized block design consisting of 12 treatments, conducted in a field and greenhouse (Federal University of Uberlândia [UFU]), was used to select biofortified mini lettuce with good agronomic traits: SPAD index, stem and plant diameter, stem length, plant height, number of leaves, fresh weight, and bolt resistance. A completely randomized design consisting of 13 treatments was used for resistance or susceptibility testing. The bacterial suspension was inoculated and the following were assessed: disease severity, 16 days after inoculation; area under the disease progress curve, calculated separately at 4, 8, 12, and 16 days after inoculation as well as the sum of data calculated on all the assessment days; and the disease resistance class. The genotypes UFU 215#1 and UFU 215#2 had significantly high carotenoid concentrations. The genotypes UFU 66#4, UFU 215#1, and UFU 215#7 showed high bolt resistance. All genotypes were classified as resistant or moderately resistant to the P. carotovorum isolate, UFU A7.

Knowledge of the relationship between the equilibrium moisture content of the product and the air that involves it is essential to guarantee product quality and preserve its characteristics during storage. This trend can be studied by sorption isotherms. Thus, this study aimed to obtain desorption and adsorption isotherms of soybean grains to determine the mathematical model that best fits the experimental data and analyze the hysteresis phenomenon. Soybean grains with a moisture content of 21.95% (db) were used to verify the desorption process. The grains were dried until 3.50% (db) for the adsorption process. The static-gravimetric method was employed to determine the equilibrium moisture content of the grain at different temperatures (10, 20, 30, 40, and 50°C) and relative humidity levels (0.10 to 0.92%). Eight mathematical models were fitted to the experimental data. The modified Halsey model satisfactorily represented the desorption and adsorption phenomena of soybean grains. The equilibrium moisture content of soybean grains increased along with an increment in water activity. The increase in temperature led to a reduction in the equilibrium moisture content of soybean grains at a constant water activity. The equilibrium moisture content values obtained by desorption are higher than those obtained by adsorption, indicating the hysteresis phenomenon at the studied temperature range. The isotherms obtained for the desorption and adsorption process were classified as type III because of the high oil content in soybean grains.

Removal of lettuce basal leaves is a technique used by the seed industry; however, the effects on seed production and physiological potential are unknown. Genetic dissimilarity is fundamental in the identification of individuals in terms of traits of interest, although it is rarely considered in relation to seeds that are tolerant to thermoinhibition. The aim of this study was to ascertain the relationship between defoliation of lettuce plants and seed yield/physiological quality, as well as the genetic dissimilarity among genotypes with regard to seed thermoinhibition. We used 35 lines of biofortified lettuce, the cultivars Uberlândia 10000, Belíssima, UFU MC BIOFORT1, and Everglades (tolerant to thermoinhibition), and Grand Rapids and Verônica (susceptible to thermoinhibition). The seed yield and physiological quality of the genotypes with and without defoliation were evaluated, artificially aged, and germinated at four temperatures in a factorial arrangement. The genetic dissimilarity was estimated by Tocher graphing and the UPGMA clustering method, based on the Mahalanobis generalized distance (D 2 ii). Four UFU genotypes and Grand Rapids had high seed yields. With removal of basal leaves, there was higher seed yield per plant and there was an effect on their physiological quality. The genotypes exhibited genetic variability for thermoinhibition, with UFU-86#2#1#1 and Everglades showing similar performance.
去除生菜基叶是种业使用的一种技术;然而，对种子生产和生理潜能的影响尚不清楚。遗传差异是鉴定个体感兴趣性状的基础，尽管很少考虑与耐热抑制的种子有关。本研究的目的是确定生菜叶片脱落与种子产量/生理品质的关系，以及不同基因型在种子热抑制方面的遗传差异。我们使用了35个品种的生物强化生菜，包括uberl ndia 10000、Belíssima、UFU MC BIOFORT1和Everglades(耐热抑制)，以及Grand Rapids和Verônica(对热抑制敏感)。在四种温度下，以因子排列的方式评估了有落叶和无落叶基因型的种子产量和生理品质，并进行了人工老化和发芽。基于Mahalanobis广义距离(d2 ii)，采用Tocher图和UPGMA聚类方法估计遗传差异。4个UFU基因型和大急流城的种子产量较高。除基叶后，单株种子产量提高，生理品质有所改善。基因型对热抑制表现出遗传变异，UFU-86#2#1#1和Everglades表现出相似的表现。

Several mathematical models have been developed for applications in the hydraulics of irrigation systems and several performance indicators of these models are used and suggested by the literature. Thus, the objective of this work was to investigate the performance of statistical indicators for the evaluation of models in irrigation hydraulics. For this, three case studies which represent typical irrigation hydraulics modeling were used to assess the indicators. A set of indicators were analyzed: a) difference-based: mean absolute error, mean square error, root mean square error, scaled root mean square error, and percent mean absolute error; b) efficiency-based: Nash-Sutcliffe and Legates-McCabe; c) correlation coefficient ( ); d) coefficient of determination ( ); e) index of agreement index ( ); f) Camargo and Sentelhas index ( ); and g) graphical methods: regression error characteristic curve based on relative absolute error and 1:1 scatter plot. For the evaluated cases, which are physical phenomena, differentiable indicators are similar measures and it is appropriate to report either or both indices. The assessment of models must also be supported by graphical analysis, which shows the real scenario of errors in the model evaluation processes. Efficiency-based indicators, , , , and are not recommended and should be avoided in modeling of irrigation hydraulics.

The use of dwarf lines to obtain mini-tomato hybrid plants has led to agronomic and economic advantages. However, the benefits provided by dwarf parents in tomato hybrids of the Santa Cruz type remain unexplored. The aims of this study were to determine the agronomic enhancement in BC1F2 dwarf populations bearing characteristic fruit of the Santa Cruz type after the first backcross and to select populations with high agronomic potential and fruit quality. The experiment was conducted in a greenhouse using a randomized block design with 15 treatments and 4 replicates. Evaluated genetic materials included 11 BC1F2 dwarf tomato populations, both parents (recurrent and donor), and the cultivars (Santa Cruz Kada and Santa Clara). Traits evaluated included: mean weight, soluble solid concentration, number of locules, shape, pulp thickness, fruit longitudinal and transversal diameters, internode length, and plant height. Univariate, multivariate, correlation, and selection index analyses showed that mean fruit weight, transverse diameter, and pulp thickness increased significantly in dwarf populations after a single backcross, most of them exhibiting a fruit shape similar to that of the Santa Cruz type. The dwarf BC1F2 populations UFU-Sci#11 and UFU-Sci#12 showed high potential for obtaining lines and, subsequently, Santa Cruz type hybrids.

This study aimed to evaluate the influence of vegetative canopy height on the agronomic characteristics and grape must and wine physicochemical properties of a ‘Cabernet Sauvignon’ vineyard in an espalier-trained system. The evaluated parameters comprised agronomic characteristics of ‘Cabernet Sauvignon’ grapevines and physicochemical compositions of ‘Cabernet Sauvignon’ musts and wines, as well as their phenolic compositions (anthocyanins, stilbenes, and flavonoids), and impact on wine contents of methoxypyrazines (volatile compounds that impart vegetal or earthy odors to wine, which are considered undesirable in large intensity). To that end, four heights of the vegetative canopy were tested: 60 cm (T1), 80 cm (T2), 100 cm (T3), and 120 cm (T4). The experiment was carried out in a commercial vineyard in the region of “Campanha Gaúcha” (Dom Pedrito, Rio Grande do Sul State, Brazil) during the productive cycles of 2015/16, 2016/17, 2017/18, and 2018/19. The main agronomic parameters were measured: estimated productivity per plant and hectare, and mean weight and number of clusters. All wines were elaborated by the same traditional winemaking methods. The physicochemical analyses of must and wines were performed by infrared spectroscopy using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectrometer (FTIR), and the phenolic analysis by high-efficiency liquid chromatography and UV-Vis spectrophotometry. Methoxypyrazines were quantified using headspace solid-phase microextraction (HS-SPME), followed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The results showed that treatments did not influence agronomic parameters. However, technological maturation (sugar accumulation) had interesting results for plants managed at higher canopy heights, with respective results obtained for wine. Treatments had little influence on individual quantification of anthocyanins, although cycles had a high influence on their profile. The wines had low concentrations of methoxypyrazines and did not differ among treatments.
本研究旨在评价植物冠层高度对“赤霞珠”(Cabernet Sauvignon)葡萄园农艺性状和葡萄品种及葡萄酒理化性状的影响。评估参数包括“赤霞珠”葡萄的农艺特征和“赤霞珠”葡萄酒的物理化学成分，以及它们的酚类成分(花青素，二苯乙烯和类黄酮)，以及对葡萄酒中甲氧基吡嗪含量的影响(挥发性化合物，赋予葡萄酒植物或泥土的气味，这被认为是不受欢迎的大强度)。为此，对植被冠层高度分别为60 cm (T1)、80 cm (T2)、100 cm (T3)和120 cm (T4)进行了试验。实验在2015/16、2016/17、2017/18和2018/19生产周期的“Campanha Gaúcha”(巴西南里约热内卢Grande do Sul State Dom Pedrito)地区的一个商业葡萄园进行。测量了主要的农艺参数:每株和公顷的估计生产力，以及平均重量和簇数。所有的葡萄酒都是用同样的传统酿酒方法酿造的。采用傅里叶变换红外光谱仪(FTIR)进行红外光谱分析，采用高效液相色谱法和紫外可见分光光度法进行酚类分析。采用顶空固相微萃取法(HS-SPME)、气相色谱-质谱联用法(GC-MS)对甲氧基吡嗪进行定量分析。结果表明，处理对农艺参数没有影响。然而，技术成熟(糖积累)在较高冠层高度管理的植物中有有趣的结果，在葡萄酒中也得到了相应的结果。处理对单个花青素的定量影响不大，尽管周期对其剖面有很大影响。这些葡萄酒的甲氧基吡嗪浓度很低，处理之间没有差异。

Baccharis dracunculifolia DC. is a pioneer plant native from Brazil that has great importance due to its secondary metabolites (essential oil and Brazilian green propolis) and its potential in the recovery of degraded areas. The main goal of this study was to evaluate the propagation techniques of B. dracunculifolia by sexual reproduction and asexual propagation of male and female stem cuttings. For reproduction, female individuals from a natural population were periodically monitored for their reproductive development and their diaspores were collected to evaluate the maximum dry mass accumulation to determine physiological maturity. The germination test was performed by testing four temperatures (20, 25, 30, and 20–30°C), in addition to the germination speed index (GSI) and first count. For vegetative propagation, stem cuttings (8 cm) of male and female individuals were treated with an indole butyric acid (IBA) solution at 0, 1,500, 3,000, 4,500, and 6,000 mg L−1. The cuttings were evaluated for mortality, survival, rooting, sprouting, leaf retention, callogenesis, number of roots, and average length of roots (cm) after 120 days. The physiological maturity of diaspores occurred at 40 days after anthesis, which was the best time for collection in the field. The temperatures of 25 or 20–30°C should be used in the germination tests of the species. The first count was identified four days after sowing and the last count after 11 days. The rooting of B. dracunculifolia cuttings is very low. Sex did not influence the evaluated parameters, but increasing IBA doses positively influenced rooting, number of roots, and average length of roots and negatively influenced calluses formation.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the phenotypic variation and diversity of cassava for breeding purposes based on the pasting properties of starch, for food applications. The viscosities of the starches, extracted from 1031 accessions, were obtained using a Rapid Visco Analyzer. The best linear unbiased predictors were calculated for five critical points of the viscograms, which were then used to cluster the accessions based on the discriminant analysis of principal components. The wide phenotypic variation identified from the viscograms reveals the high potential for selection gains, especially for pasting temperature and setback. Certain strong correlations indicate that selection based on a specific viscogram trait can be used for indirect selection (e.g., the correlation between peak viscosity and breakdown [0.85]). The lowest Bayesian information criterion identified five different groups. Groups 3 and 4 exhibited high pasting temperatures, while Groups 3 and 5 exhibited low setbacks. Group 3 also exhibited low viscosity and breakdown. However, we focused on selecting cassava accessions with a high pasting temperature and low setback, as these are the most important traits for industrial applications. The predicted genetic gains from the selection of the top 15 cassava accessions for increasing pasting temperature and decreasing setback were 4.40% and 53.17%, respectively. The increased pasting temperature (~72.89°C) and high amplitude of setback (~600 cP) due to selection can guide the utilization of the cassava germplasm for breeding and provide a basis for further studies to develop varieties with added value, especially in the food industry.

Cowpea planting season is crucial for high yield and should comprise the period of the year that warrants the best climatic conditions for cowpea cultivation. Thus, the objective of this study was to evaluate the influence of water availability and temperature on the performance of cowpea cultivars. A greenhouse experiment was conducted using a 4 × 2 × 5 factorial arrangement, with four replications. Factors included four levels of soil moisture (25, 50, 75, and 100% of water holding capacity), two growing seasons (mild and hot), and five cowpea cultivars (Carijó, Itaim, Pujante, Rouxinol, and Tapahium). The number of pods and seeds per plant, seed production, water use efficiency, shoot dry mass, root dry mass, and physiological parameters were evaluated. Seed production was higher during the mild season than during the hot season and increased linearly with increasing soil water availability. Photosynthetic activity and transpiration were higher during the hot season than during the mild season, with their reduction under a water availability of 25% regardless of the growing season. Total chlorophyll content decreased with excess water. Regardless of water availability, temperature was the most limiting climatic factor for cowpea performance. Cultivars Carijó, Itaim, and Tapahium exhibited a lower reduction in productive potential when grown in the hot season.

The selection of superior sweet potato genotypes using Bayesian inference is an important strategy for genetic improvement. Sweet potatoes are of social and economic importance, being the material for ethanol production. The estimation of variance components and genetic parameters using Bayesian inference is more accurate than that using the frequently used statistical methodologies. This is because the former allows for using a priori knowledge from previous research. Therefore, the present study estimated genetic parameters and selection gains, predicted genetic values, and selected sweet potato genotypes using a Bayesian approach with a priori information. Root shape, soil insect resistance, and root and shoot productivity of 24 sweet potato genotypes were measured. Heritability, genotypic variation coefficient, residual variation coefficient, relative variation index, and selection gains direct, indirect and simultaneous were estimated, and the data were analyzed using Bayesian inference. Data from 11 experiments were used to obtain a priori information. Bayesian inference was a useful tool for decision-making, and significant genetic gains could be achieved with the selection of the evaluated genotypes. Root shape, soil insect resistance, commercial root productivity, and total root productivity showed higher heritability values. Clones UFVJM06, UFVJM40, UFVJM54, UFVJM09, and CAMBRAIA can be used as parents in future breeding programs.
