Herança de coloração de bulbos em cebola (Allium cepa L.) com resistência a Colletotrichum gloeosporioides

The inheritance of onion bulb color was studied utilizing white bulbs resistant to Colletotrichum gloeosporioides that segregated from the population 'Roxa do Barreiro' and two inbred Unes with yellow bulbs originated from 'Super Precoce" and 'Pira Ouro' cultivars. The white bulbs and the inbred Unes were crossed to obtain the F1 and F2 generations (yellow x white). Both F1 generations were of red bulbs and in the F2 generation there were segregations to red, white and yellow bulbs in a proportion of 9:4:3, respectively. It was concluded that the inheritance of bulb color in these crosses is controlled by two contrasting genes hi the parental (ii cc RR = white bulbs, ii CC rr = yellow bulbs) material). It is probably possible to obtain a new variety or inbred line resistant to C. gloeosporioides with yellow bulbs or white bulbs, which, when crossed with a yellow line, will result in a yeUow bulb F1 resistant to this pathogen.O objetivo deste trabalho foi determinar a herança de coloração de bulbos de cebola a partir do cruzamento de bulbos brancos com resistência a Colletotrichum gloeosporioides (Mal de 7 voltas) segregantes da população Roxa do Barreiro com bulbos amarelos de linhagens endogâmicas obtidas das variedades Super Precoce e Pira Ouro. Para tal obtiveram-se as gerações F1 e F2 entre (Super Precoce x Barreiro "Branca") e entre (Pira Ouro x Barreiro "Branca"). Nas gerações F1 obtiveram-se apenas bulbos roxos, enquanto que nas gerações F2 obtiveram-se uma segregação para bulbos roxos, brancos e amarelos numa proporção aproximada de 9:4:3, o que permitiu concluir que a herança, para estes cruzamentos, foi devida a 2 pares de genes contrastantes nas populações progenitoras, cujos genótipos, com base na literatura, são: ii cc RR (Barreiro Branca) e ii CC rr (linhagens de Super Precoce e de Pira Ouro). Conclui-se, também, que é possível, a partir destes cruzamentos, obter uma variedade ou linhagem com resistência a C. gloeosporioides somente com bulbos amarelos ou com bulbos brancos com genótipo homozigoto recessivo para todos os genes, que quando cruzada com outra amarela pode-se obter uma geração F1 com bulbos amarelos e com resistência a C. gloeosporioides

Avaliação de linhagens e híbridos experimentais de pepino do grupo varietal japonês sob ambiente protegido

O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar linhagens e híbridos experimentais de pepino japonês sob ambiente protegido. 32 tratamentos (18 híbridos experimentais, 12 linhagens e 2 híbridos comerciais: Tsuyataro e Yoshinari) foram avaliados no delineamento em blocos ao acaso, com 4 repetições e 4 plantas por parcela. Foram avaliadas as seguintes características: número de frutos total e comercial; taxa de frutos comerciais; comprimento, diâmetro e relação comprimento pelo diâmetro dos frutos. As médias de todos os tratamentos foram comparadas pelo teste de Scott-Knot (5%) e foram estimadas as heteroses dos híbridos em relação à média dos genitores e em relação ao genitor superior. Foram obtidos híbridos experimentais tão produtivos quanto os comerciais, sendo que, em média, as linhagens foram menos produtivas que os híbridos. No geral, as heteroses para número de frutos foram positivas e elevadas, enquanto que para as características de fruto foram de menor valor.The objective of this work was to evaluate japanese cucumber experimental lines and hybrids under protected cultivation. 32 treatments (18 experimental hybrids, 12 lines and two commercial hybrids: Tsuyataro and Yoshinari) were evaluated at randomized blocks design, with 4 replicates and 4 plants per plot. The following characteristics were evaluated: total and commercial fruit number; rate of commercial fruits; fruit length (L), diameter (D) and L/D rate. Treatment means were compared by Scott-Knot (5%) test and hybrids heterosis over parentals means and over superior parental were estimated. There were experimental hybrids as productive as commercial ones, and, in general, lines were less yielding than hybrids. In general, heterosis for fruit number were positive and high, while heterosis for fruit characteristics were of lesser values

Plant vibration of american pepper cultivars for fruit production in protected environment with and without closed sides

The aim of this research was to evaluate plant vibration for fruit and seed production of american pepper in greenhouse with open and closed sides. The experiment was carried out at Fazenda Experimental da Unesp/FCA located in the municipality of São Manuel-SP. Six treatments were carried out, in a split plot design, two plots with plant vibration or without plant vibration and three subplots with cultivars ('Dirce', 'Dínamo' and 'Doce Comprida'). Plants were vibrated by shaking the wire where the stake was fixed, manually, for about 5 seconds, twice a day. Randomized block design with three replications were used. The same experiment was performed in two environments: with and without closed sides with screen. The traits evaluated were: mass of fruit and total and marketable number of fruits (no visible defects) per plant; percentage of marketable fruit; mass, diameter and length of the fruit; mass and number of seeds per fruit; and plant height. The fruit production was higher in the environment with sides closed, with 24 marketable fruits per plant whereas in the open environment, 7 marketable fruits. American pepper plant vibration did not affect production, length, diameter and average mass of the fruits. Exceptionally for the cultivar 'Doce Comprida', a higher seed production per fruit was obtained in open environment in the absence of plant vibration, in comparison to close environment, with average of 259 and 126 seeds per fruit, respectively. American pepper plant vibration did not affect production, length, diameter and average mass of marketable fruit

Efeito da endogamia na produção de sementes de pepino caipira

Este trabalho teve por objetivo verificar se existe depressão por endogamia para produção de sementes com sucessivas gerações de autofecundações em uma população de pepino caipira, obtida a partir da geração F2 do cruzamento (Safira x Hatem) x Safira. O delineamento experimental utilizado foi em blocos ao acaso, com seis tratamentos (diferentes gerações de autofecundação - S0 a S5), quatro repetições e cinco plantas por parcela. Não houve diferença estatística para todas as características avaliadas (número de frutos por planta, massa de sementes por planta, massa de sementes por fruto, número de sementes por planta, número de sementes por fruto, massa de 100 sementes, teste-padrão de germinação, primeira contagem do teste-padrão de germinação e índice de velocidade de germinação), observando-se que a endogamia não afetou a produção e qualidade das sementes nessa população.The objective of this work was to evaluate the inbreeding depression after successive generations of self-pollination in a cucumber population, generation F2 from the cross (Safira x Hatem) x Safira. Experimental design was randomized blocks with six treatments (different generations of self-pollination - S0 to S5), four replicates and five plants per plot. There was no statistical difference among all evauated characteristics (fruit number per plant, number and weight of seeds per plant and per fruit, germination test, first count of germinated seeds, index of germination a and weight of 100 seeds), showing that inbreeding did not affect seed production and quality in this population
