Nowadays, there is a great dependence on Brazilian floriculture for cultivars and other technologies developed abroad. The development of programs of breeding and clonal propagation of flower species in Brazil, such as orchids of the genus Phalaenopsis, is a solution to increase the competitiveness of the Brazilian floriculture. In the propagation of this genus there is an increasing dema…
Guava is an important fruit crop in Brazil. The occurrence of Meloidogyne enterolobii, a polyphagous nematode and an important parasite in different crop species, is actually, the major problem of guava production in Brazil. The breeding programs of this species require achievement of resistant cultivars for this parasite or the achievement of resistant and compatible rootstocks with gua…
In vitro plant cultivation is used to quickly produce clonal seedlings of superior genotypes. However, the high contamination of culture media by microorganisms limits the technique, causing plant losses and increasing production costs. The great antimicrobial potential of essential oils and their terpenes is of great interest to the scientific community, especially for plant cultivation.…
The market for flowers and ornamental plants is continuously expanding in Brazil and worldwide, among which orchids (Orchidaceae) are the main product of the pot flowers market. The orchid genetic improvement program, carried out at UFSCar, has as its main objectives the use of species still little explored and of ornamental potential, in the improvement and development of new cultivars. …
The flowers and ornamental plants market moves large export and export volumes around the world, supplying the most diverse importing countries. Countries holding advanced genetic engineering technologies lead the export rankings, in transactions that most often involve costs related to intellectual property that tend to increase the final value of the product. Among the commercialized pl…
Tomato is the most consumed and produced fruit vegetable in the world.Vitamin A, in turn, is formed by the cleavage of carotenoids produced by this fruit and otherfoods. Among all the carotenoids, the most important and found in tomatoes are lycopene andbeta-carotene, with beta-carotene being the most important precursor because it results in twomolecules of vitamin A, while the other car…

Tomato is a food distributed worldwide and has high nutritional value, such as the supply of carotenoids. Carotenoids are the most important precursors of Vitamin A, with emphasis on beta-carotene due to its greater efficiency in converting into vitamin A. Considering that this vitamin has been the one with the greatest impact on human malnutrition, the biofortification of tomato plants w…
