CULTIVARS IDENTIFICATION OF CORN, BEAN, COTTON AND SOYBEAN USING ENZYMES AND HEAT-RESISTANT PROTEINS.ABSTRACT -In this study the polymorphism and stability of isoenzymes and heat-resistant proteins in corn, bean, cotton, and soybean seeds with different levels of physiological quality were evaluated. The alcohol dehydrogenase, catalase, esterase and superoxide dismutase enzymes and simultaneous analysis were effective in identifying eight corn cultivars. It was observed for the bean cultivars that the peroxidase enzyme allowed differentiation of the Carioca bean cultivar from the others but, the peroxidase enzyme pattern varied in seeds with low-germination percentage. The varieties of cotton could not be differentiated by esterase enzyme, superoxide dismutase, diaphorase and malate dehydrogenase. The Conquista soybean cultivar was separated by superoxide dismutase and esterase enzyme systems and BRS-154 was separated by esterase. Heat-resistant protein patterns showed polymorphism and were stable for corn cultivar identification.
Efficiency of the ceres-maize model in the simulation of corn hybrid performanceThe CERES-Maize model was developed for simulating the development and performance of corn and has been used as a tool for planning and decision making by farmers in several countries. The objective of this study was to evaluate the efficiency of the CERES-Maize model in the simulation of agronomic characteristics of corn hybrids on tropical conditions. A field experiment was conducted with five hybrids (AG7000, AG8060, DKB199, GNZ2004 and P30F90) and three sowing times (24/11/2006, 19/12/2006 and 13/01/2007) in an experimental area of the Agriculture Department of the Federal University of Lavras, Lavras, Minas Gerais State, Brazil. The treatments were arranged in a randomized block design with three replicates. Data were collected on flowering dates and physiological maturity, Recebido para publicação em abril de 2008 e aprovado em junho de 2010 1 Parte do trabalho de dissertação de mestrado do primeiro autor.
