The importance of education, research and extension institutions can be evaluated from the socio-economic impacts of their investments, capacity building and training of human resources, services rendered to the community and innovations resulting from their research. The knowledge and technologies&#x...
Traditionally, water conditions of coffee areas are monitored by measuring the leaf water potential throughout a pressure pump. However, there is a demand for the development of technologies that can estimate large areas or regions. In this context, the objective of this study was&...
The demand for high-quality coffee among consumers has generated a great deal of interest among producers in serving this market. Parameters for physiological analyses that can be associated with aspects of sensory analyses of coffee can ensure more reliable results for coffee quality&#...
South American leaf blight (SALB) is the worst impairment for rubber tree cultivation in the Amazon. Hevea brasiliensis clones produce high latex yields but most are SALB-susceptible (SS). So, resistance has been searched in related species. We selected defense related genes among those...
In the Brazilian National System of Seeds and Seedlings, coffee seeds are evaluated by the germination or tetrazolium test. However, differences have been observed between the results of these tests in various studies, especially when the seeds have a lower level of quality. Given&...
As seed chemical composition may lead to different responses during drying and other post-harvest operations, the objective of this study was to determine the effect of drying rate (slow and rapid) and the concentration and composition of lipids in the embryo and endosperm tissues&...
O locus SH3 é relacionado com as reações de defesa contra Hemileia vastatrix, o agente causador da ferrugem alaranjada. Há um ?cluster? de genes CC-NBS-LRR no locus SH3 da variedade IAPAR59 de Coffea arabica. Esse ?cluster? reúne oito cópias de CC-NBS-LRRs, que variam na sua&#...
A produção de café na região das Matas de Minas é responsável pela quarta parte do total produzido em Minas Gerais, sendo que grande parte desta produção é proveniente da agricultura familiar. Porém, as propriedades familiares são caracterizadas por serem conduzidas pelo núcleo fam...
Micro-cuttings coming from Catucaí coffee plants were established in the greenhouse and treated to sprout by decapitation and application of 600 mg/l triiodobenzoic acid. The morphology and the anatomy of treated and control plants were compared. Treated plants produced only orthotropic ...
The specialty coffee market has grown significantly in the past decades and has several cultivars with productive potential. The objective of this study was to evaluate the sensory profile of the beverage produced from Coffea arabica L. genotypes based on postharvest processing and ...
