Caracterização dos principais polos de produção de banana no Brasil.

Importância do cultivo de banana no Brasil. O Brasil atualmente é o quinto produtor mundial de banana, com produção de 7,3 milhões toneladas em 503 mil hectares, com valor da produção de R$ 4,37 bilhões (1). De acordo com levantamento do Censo Agropecuário de 2006, a cultura está presente em 172 mil estabelecimentos rurais do país. Um dos maiores propulsores da elevação do grau de tecnologia utilizados na bananicultura nacional foi o desenvolvimento de projetos públicos de irrigação no Norte de Minas, Bom Jesus da Lapa, Vale do São Franscisco, Vale do Jaguaribe e Vale do Açú

Análise de cultivares e híbridos de bananeira em diferentes ambientes

A cultura da banana assume destaque como atividade de grande importância econômica e social em diversos países. A bananeira e cultivada em todas as regiões brasileiras. Á área plantada e a produção de banana no Brasil são respectivamente, a segunda (487 mil ha) e a quinta maiores do mundo (FAO, 2012)

Post-harvest physicochemical profile and bioactive compounds of 19 bananas and plantains genotypes.

Bragantia, Campinas, v. 78, n. 2, p.284-296, 2019284C.V. Borges et al.ABSTRACT:Nineteen genotypes of bananas and plantains were analysed in order to differentiate the subgroups and/or groups of consumption or industrial use. Genotypes of banana and plantain from different genomic groups and in three ripening stages (2, 5 and 7) were studied in relation to physical and physicochemical characteristics, including bioactive compounds. Furthermore, with the obtained data analysed by multivariate statistical analyses (Principal Component Analysis) it was possible to relate all analysed characteristic profile of samples with the different genotype. The three ripening stages were differentiate by total soluble solids, titratable acidity, chrome (C*) and the carotenoids contents. ‘Ney Poovan’ contain high total soluble solid content and pulp-to-peel ratio, an interesting result for the promotion of this genotype for in natura consumption. ‘Ney Poovan’, ‘Ouro da Mata’, ‘Pelipita’ and ‘Tiparot’ are sources of antioxidant compounds. The genotypes ‘Pelipita’ and ‘Samurá B’ are promising for the industrial use, mainly for the processing of banana chips, for both green and ripe frui

Avaliação de genótipos de bananeiras em sistemas convencional e orgânico de produção no Estado de Mato Grosso.

Resumo: A bananicultura tem importância no Estado do Mato Grosso tanto para o consumo interno quanto para comercialização em outros estados; contudo, a ocorrência de doenças, como a Sigatoka-negra, trouxe problemas para o seu cultivo. Assim, a introdução e avaliação de genótipos resistentes às pragas e doenças são necessárias. Avaliaram-se as características agronômicas de genótipos de bananeiras em dois sistemas de produção no norte do Estado. O delineamento experimental foi o fatorial 2 x 7, com dois sistemas de produção (convencional e orgânico) e sete genótipos de bananeira (BRS Platina; BRS Princesa; BRS Tropical; PA-9401; BRS Pacovan Ken; FHIA-17; e Thap Maeo). Mudas micropropagadas foram plantadas no espaçamento 4,0 m x 2,5 m x 1,7 m e irrigadas por microaspersão. No primeiro ciclo foram avaliados atributos vegetativos e produtivos dos genótipos. Os resultados mostraram, no florescimento, que o sistema de produção influenciou as características agronômicas, exceto o número de perfilho. Os genótipos floresceram mais cedo no sistema convencional que no orgânico, e apresentaram menor porte, exceto os genótipos ‘BRS Princesa’ e ‘FHIA-17’. Não foi possível colher as plantas no sistema orgânico. O genótipo ‘FHIA-17’ produziu cachos maiores (49,5 kg), porém em um ciclo mais longo (410 dias). A bananeira ‘Thap Maeo’ apresentou ciclo de 360 dias, cachos de 24,3 kg e é resistente à Sigatoka-negra. Conclui-se que os genótipos avaliados podem ser cultivados no Estado do Mato Grosso, em sistema convencional. | Abstract: Banana crop is important for Mato Grosso State both for domestic consumption and for sale in other states; however, the occurrence of diseases, such as black Sigatoka, caused problems for its cultivation. Thus, introduction and evaluation of resistant genotypes to pests and diseases are required. Agronomic characteristics of banana genotypes were evaluated under two cropping system in the north of Mato Grosso State, Brazil. The experimental design was a 2 x 7 factorial, with two cropping systems (conventional and organic) and seven banana genotypes (BRS Platina, BRS Princesa, BRS Tropical, PA-9401; BRS Pacovan Ken, FHIA-17 and Thap Maeo). Seedlings were cultivated at 4.0 m x 2.5 m x 1.7 m spacing and irrigated by microsprinkler. In the first crop cycle vegetative and productive genotypes attributes were evaluated. The results showed, at flowering time, that cropping system affected the agronomic attributes, except number of suckers. The genotypes flowered earlier in the conventional system than in the organic, and had smallest pseudostem height, except the genotypes ‘BRS Princesa’ and ‘FHIA-17’. It was unable to harvest the plants in the organic system. The genotypes ‘FHIA-17’ produced heavier bunches (49.5 kg), but in a longer cycle (410 days). Banana ‘Thap Maeo’ showed cycle of 360 days, bunches of 24.3 kg and is resistant to black Sigatoka. So, it is concluded that the genotypes evaluated are appropriated to be cultivated in Mato Grosso State, Brazil, under conventional system

Sistema de produção: cultivo da bananeira BRS PLATINA.

A Embrapa Mandioca e Fruticultura, situada em Cruz das Almas, Bahia, desde a década de 1970, vem executando pesquisas voltadas para o desenvolvimento e avaliação de novas variedades de bananeira, procurando reunir produtividade, qualidade dos frutos e tolerância ou resistência a pragas e doenças, visando assim aumentar a garantia de sucesso do empreendimento agrícola, sem esquecer a preservação ambiental.bitstream/item/71874/1/Sistema-de-cultivo-da-bananeira-platina.pd

Data standardization of plant–pollinator interactions

Background: Animal pollination is an important ecosystem function and service, ensuring both the integrity of natural systems and human well-being. Although many knowledge shortfalls remain, some high-quality data sets on biological interactions are now available. The development and adoption of standards for biodiversity data and metadata has promoted great advances in biological data sharing and aggregation, supporting large-scale studies and science-based public policies. However, these standards are currently not suitable to fully support interaction data sharing. Results: Here we present a vocabulary of terms and a data model for sharing plant–pollinator interactions data based on the Darwin Core standard. The vocabulary introduces 48 new terms targeting several aspects of plant–pollinator interactions and can be used to capture information from different approaches and scales. Additionally, we provide solutions for data serialization using RDF, XML, and DwC-Archives and recommendations of existing controlled vocabularies for some of the terms. Our contribution supports open access to standardized data on plant–pollinator interactions. Conclusions: The adoption of the vocabulary would facilitate data sharing to support studies ranging from the spatial and temporal distribution of interactions to the taxonomic, phenological, functional, and phylogenetic aspects of plant–pollinator interactions. We expect to fill data and knowledge gaps, thus further enabling scientific research on the ecology and evolution of plant–pollinator communities, biodiversity conservation, ecosystem services, and the development of public policies. The proposed data model is flexible and can be adapted for sharing other types of interactions data by developing discipline-specific vocabularies of termsinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio

Genomics and epidemiology for gastric adenocarcinomas (GE4GAC): a Brazilian initiative to study gastric cancer

Abstract Gastric cancer (GC) is the fifth most common type of cancer worldwide with high incidences in Asia, Central, and South American countries. This patchy distribution means that GC studies are neglected by large research centers from developed countries. The need for further understanding of this complex disease, including the local importance of epidemiological factors and the rich ancestral admixture found in Brazil, stimulated the implementation of the GE4GAC project. GE4GAC aims to embrace epidemiological, clinical, molecular and microbiological data from Brazilian controls and patients with malignant and pre-malignant gastric disease. In this letter, we summarize the main goals of the project, including subject and sample accrual and current findings
