Major loci controlling resistance to the angular leaf spot of common bean.

Based on the evidences presented in this paper, results from classical genetic studies, fine-mapping information and physical position analysis using the reference genome sequence of P. vulgaris, the BIC Genetic Committee has formally accepted the proposed new gene symbols.

Identification of common bean resistant sources to angular leaf spot disease in a brazilian germplasm collection.

The aim of this study was to identify sources of resistance in the germplasm collection providing information of potential sources of resistance to introduce in breeding programs.

Evaluation of floral characteristics of melon hybrids (Cucumis melo l.) in pollinator attractiveness.

Floral morphology and biology are important characteristics for plant-pollinator interactions and may influence the behavior of these agents. This study aimed to determine which floral attributes of different melon hybrids influence this interaction and, consequently, their attractiveness in simultaneous crops. The study was conducted in the region of Petrolina, State of Pernambuco (PE)/Juazeiro, State of Bahia (BA) and Mossoró, State of Rio Grande do Norte (RN), in areas with the following melon hybrids: Yellow type, Piel de Sapo, Cantaloupe and Galia. For studies on floral morphology and biology, hermaphrodites and male flowers of each hybrid were analyzed for their size and nectar chamber size, pollen and nectar production, anthesis time and flower lifespan. Floral visitors were observed simultaneously in hybrids of three types of melon, from 5:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., in the two study sites. Evaluations of the corolla diameter and flower height indicated that the hermaphrodite flowers were larger in size than male flowers in all types of melon investigated, in both study sites. As for nectar chamber, male flowers are larger in width, but smaller in height, compared to hermaphrodite flowers. Regarding the volume of nectar, differences were found between floral types for the hybrids evaluated, in the two study sites; the hermaphrodite flowers produced 2-7 times more nectar than male flowers in all studied hybrids. Observations of visits of Apis mellifera to areas with simultaneous flowering of the three types of melon demonstrated differences in the frequency of visits between hybrids, floral type and foraged resource. Flowers of the hybrids Piel de Sapo and Cantaloupe exhibited larger corolla diameter, larger dimensions of the nectar chamber and greater supply of resources for foraging, which could explain the higher number of visits of bees to their flowers in the sites studied.

BRSMG Uai: common bean cultivar with carioca grain type and upright plant architecture.

The common bean cultivar with carioca grain type, BRSMG Uai, is recommended for cultivation in Minas Gerais and stands out for its upright plant architecture, which facilitates cultivation and mechanical harvesting. This cultivar has high yield potential and is resistant to the major races of anthracnose that occur in region.

Produção de arroz e feijão em municípios com menores Índices de Desenvolvimento Humano na região do Matopiba, Brasil.

A produção de feijão da região do Matopiba foi de 2 55,6 mil toneladas, em 2014, colhidas em 430,9 mil hectares, com produtividade média de 593 kg/ha. Essa produção e área representaram, respectivamente, 9,5% e 22,2% do total nacional. A produção de 777,5 mil toneladas de arroz de sequeiro foi colhida em 533,0 mil hectares, que representam, respectivamente, 42,8% e 58,3% da produção e da área nacional do arroz em terras altas. A produtividade média do arroz de terras altas no Brasil foi de 1.986 kg/ha, e na região do Matopiba, de 1.459 kg/ha. O complexo Matopiba, considerado como última fronteira agrícola do Brasil, e compreendendo parte dos estados do Piauí, Maranhão, Tocantins e Bahia, evidencia municípios com produtores descapitalizados, sobretudo, na agricultura familiar, embora seja um reduto onde pode se desenvolver uma agricultura potencial em commodities, a exemplo da região dos cerrados do planalto central, na produção de soja, bioenergia e fibras. Este artigo tem por objetivo a análise comparativa da conjuntura da produção do arroz e do feijão, elementos básicos da alimentação da maior parte da população brasileira, contrapondo-os com os menores Índices de Desenvolvimento Humano Municipal, no complexo Mapotiba.
