Resumo -O objetivo deste trabalho foi estimar a divergência genética entre acessos de mandioca açucarados e não açucarados, por meio de marcadores moleculares, caracteres quantitativos e qualitativos, bem como determinar a correlação entre essas estimativas. Foram utilizados quatro acessos de mandioca açucarados e quatro não açucarados, com duas variedades locais e duas comerciais. Os acessos foram avaliados em campo, em laboratório, com marcadores RAPD, quanto a 12 caracteres quantitativos e 33 morfológicos. Foram estimadas as matrizes de dissimilaridade/distância genética entre os acessos, por meio dos caracteres qualitativos e quantitativos e da significância da correlação entre as matrizes. A divergência genética entre os acessos foi elevada e os acessos açucarados foram diferenciados das variedades não açucaradas locais e comerciais. As distâncias estimadas, por meio de marcadores moleculares e caracteres qualitativos, evidenciaram elevada associação entre si e associação moderada com a estimada por meio de caracteres quantitativos.Termos para indexação: Manihot esculenta, melhoramento genético, recursos genéticos, variabilidade genética. Genetic divergence among sugary and nonsugary cassava accessionsAbstract -The objective of this work was to estimate the genetic divergence among sugary and nonsugary cassava accessions, through molecular markers, and quantitative and qualitative characters, as well as to determine the correlation among these estimates. Four sugary cassava accessions and four nonsugary ones were used, including two landraces and two nonsugary improved varieties. The accessions were evaluated in field conditions and in laboratories, with RAPD markers, in 12 quantitative and 33 qualitative characters. Matrixes of genetic dissimilarity/distance among accessions were estimated, based on qualitative and quantitative characters, molecular markers, and on the correlation significance among matrixes. High genetic divergence among the evaluated accessions was observed, the sugary accessions were differentiated from the landraces and improved nonsugary varieties. The distances estimated through molecular markers and qualitative characters showed the high association among each other and moderate association with the distance estimated through quantitative characters.
RESUMO Os programas de melhoramento genético de mandioca de mesa estão focados na seleção de variedades com a presença de carotenoides nas raízes de reserva. O trabalho foi realizado com o objetivo de avaliar o potencial agronômico e o teor de carotenoides em raízes de reserva de acessos de mandioca com
Despite propagation of the cassava crop be done by cuttings for commercial purposes, the majority of accesses keeps active the sexual propagation system; what is essential to genetic breeding programs. Cassava seeds, however, have low and uneven germination rates. Considering such event, the objective of this study was to evaluate the efficiency of the storage, and different pre-germination treatments, on cassava seedling emergence. For this, an experiment was carried out with seeds obtained by open pollination between plants of four sweet cassava cultivars, with 10 pre-germination treatments; in addition to a control treatment. The viability of seeds subjected to different treatments was assessed by tetrazolium test; and the assessment of seedling emergence was performed by daily counts of the number of emerged seedlings. Data obtained were expressed in: emergence percentage; emergence speed index; and mean time of seedling emergence. It was concluded that storage, at 4 °C, during one year, increases seed emergence percentage and favors cassava seedling emergence speed; and that the dry heat (60 ºC), during seven and 14 days, also favors their emergence speed .
SummaryPhysical analyses and an analysis of the mineral content were carried out by peroxide-perchloric wet-digestion, taking readings using inductively coupled plasma-atomic emission spectrometry (ICP-AES) and measurements using an analytical balance and digital paquimeter, of three commercial hybrids of Passiflora edulis f. flavicarpa Deg.: BRS Sol do Cerrado, BRS Ouro Vermelho and BRS Gigante Amarelo, cultivated and harvested from the experimental area of Embrapa Cerrados, Planaltina, DF, Brazil, in October/2007. Eighteen fruits were evaluated for each hybrid, and presented weights and dimensions superior to those found in the scientific literature, without significant differences between the hybrids. Sol do Cerrado showed less weight loss post storage when compared to the other hybrids, but no significant differences were found with respect to the other physical parameters studied. The mineral contents found in the hybrids were higher than the values found in the scientific literature and in the Brazilian food composition tables (TACO) elaborated by NEPA-UNICAMP. The Sol do Cerrado had a higher iron content than the other hybrids. The hybrids are excellent sources of minerals, especially in comparison with the frozen pulp sold in supermarkets. Key words: Passiflora edulis; Physicochemical properties; Elemental composition; Health; Functional foods. ResumoAnálises físicas e de conteúdo mineral foram executadas por meio de digestão peróxido/perclórica com leitura em ICP-AES, e medições, com auxílio de balança analítica digital e paquímetro digital, de três híbridos comerciais de Passiflora edulis f. flavicarpa Deg. -BRS Sol do Cerrado, BRS Ouro Vermelho e BRS Gigante Amarelo -, cultivados na área experimental da Embrapa Cerrados, Planaltina-DF, no período de outubro de 2007. Dezoito frutos de cada híbrido foram avaliados e apresentaram pesos e dimensões superiores àqueles encontrados na literatura científica, sem diferenças significativas entre os híbridos. Sol do Cerrado apresentou menor perda de peso após o armazenamento em relação aos demais híbridos. Não foram encontradas diferenças significativas em relação aos demais parâmetros físicos estudados. O conteúdo de minerais encontrados nos híbridos foi superior àqueles encontrados na literatura científica e na Tabela Brasileira de Composição de Alimentos (UNICAMP, 2006) elaborada pela NEPA-UNICAMP. Sol do Cerrado apresentou teores de ferro superiores aos demais híbridos, o que pode ser devido a diferenças na absorção desse elemento por parte do híbrido. Os híbridos mostraram-se excelentes fontes de minerais, especialmente em comparação com a polpa de maracujá-amarelo congelada de supermercado.
