This study aimed to evaluate the effects of melatonin supplementation during bovine in vitro embryo production (IVEP) on embryonic development and quality, oxidative stress, lipid metabolism, mitochondrial activity, gene expression, DNA methylation patterns, and cryotolerance. Four treatments were tested:&...

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are key post-transcriptional regulators of plant development and stress responses, with many being conserved across diverse plant lineages. In this study, we investigated the expression profiles of miRNAs and their corresponding target genes in Arachis stenosperma, a wild peanu...

The ongoing collection effort has resulted in a total of 173 accessions of A. pintoi and 45 of A. repens, and a Forage Arachis Genebank has been established in the Amazon region with the aim of developing new options to increase the sustainability and quality of gras...

Este estudo investigou os efeitos in vitro e in vivo de nanopartículas de cobre (CuNPs), sintetizadas com extratos aquosos de castanha de caju (Anacardium occidentale L.) provenientes de diferentes acessos do BAG Caju da Embrapa, no manejo de Pratylenchus zeae, nematoide de importância&...

No presente estudo os mecanismos de resistência desse porta-enxerto e o ciclo de vida do nematoide na cultivar comercial Paluma, usada como padrão de suscetibilidade, foram documentados. Para o estudo histopatológico dois métodos clássicos, de coloração de nematoides com fucsina ácida e ...

Insects use chemical compounds for communication, and sex pheromone is one of the most important signals used by males and females to find each other for mating purposes. The corn leafhopper, Dalbulus maidis, is an insect vector that transmits pathogens causing diseases in maize&#x...

In recent years, silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) have garnered significant attention due to their potent antimicrobial properties, which hold promise for various applications. However, concerns about their potential toxicity have also emerged, particularly regarding their impact on human and animal healt...

This study aimed to develop liposomes derived from lipids obtained from red blood cell membranes for potential use in antitumor applications. Hemoglobin hydrolysates exhibiting peptides with known antitumor activities were encapsulated within these liposomes. Methods: The developed liposomal systems w...

The allotetraploid legume peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) has low genetic diversity due to the single origin and ploidy barrier with its wild relatives, which are mostly diploid. This lack of genetic diversity hinders breeding and genetic gains. Wild peanut relatives harbor known resistanc...
