Item Comparative study of different molecular markers for classifying and establishing genetic relationships in Coffea canephora(Plant Systematics and Evolution, 2012-11-03) Ferrão, Luís Felipe V.; Caixeta, Eveline T.; Souza, Flávio de F.; Zambolim, Eunize M.; Cruz, Cosme D.; Zambolim, Laércio; Sakiyama, Ney S.The genetic variability characterization of the accessions of the germplasm collection, using molecular markers, is being applied as a complementary strategy to the traditional approaches to redefine the plant genetic resources. In this study, we compared the informativeness and efficiency of the molecular markers RAPD, AFLP and SSR in the analysis of 94 accessions of Coffea canephora germplasm held by the breeding program of the Brazilian Agricultural Research Corporation (Embrapa), Rondônia State, Brazil. For this, we considered the marker’s discriminatory power and level of polymorphism detected and also the genetic relationships and clustering (dendrogram) analysis. The RAPD marker yielded low-quality data and problems in the discrimination of some accessions, being less recommended for genetic studies of C. canephora. The SSRs had a higher level of information content and yielded high-quality data, while AFLP was the most efficient marker system because of the simultaneous detection of abundant polymorphism markers per few reactions. Our results indicate that AFLP and SSR, allies to the intrinsic characteristics of each technique, are the most suitable molecular markers for genetic studies of C. canephora. However, the choice of AFLP or SSR in the species characterization should be made in agreement with some characteristics that are discussed in this work.Item Molecular characterization of two brazilian isolates of Lettuce mosaic virus with distinct biological properties(Fitopatologia Brasileira, 2001-06) Krause- Sakate, Renate; Mello, Raquel N.; Pavan, Marcelo A.; Zambolim, Eunize M.; Carvalho, Murilo G.; Gall, Olivier Le; Zerbini, F. Murilo; Krause-Sakate, RenateThe coat protein genes of two field isolates of Lettuce mosaic virus (LMV) from São Paulo State, previously characterized based on their virulence on lettuce (Lactuca sativa) differential cultivars as belonging to pathotypes II (isolate AF198, unable to infect cultivars possessing the genes mo11 or mo12) and IV (isolate AF199, which breaks the resistance conferred by mo11 or mo12), were cloned and sequenced. Comparisons of the nucleotide sequences from European, Middle-Eastern, North American, and the two Brazilian isolates did not distinguish strains, because homologies were always greater than 95%. However, phylogenetic analysis indicated that the Brazilian isolate AF198 clusters with isolates LMV-R and LMV-0 (pathotype II, from the United States and France, respectively). Isolate AF199 clustered with two isolates (LMV-Aud and LMV-13) from France. These isolates are also closely related to isolates from Chile, although a common origin is not proposed. Independent mutation events may be occurring in different parts of the world, leading to the emergence of distinct LMV strains capable of overcoming the resistance genes mo11 or mo12.Item Quantification of yield loss due to coffee leaf scorch(Crop Protection, 2010-10) Rocha, Janilson G.; Zambolim, Laércio; Zambolim, Eunize M.; Vale, Francisco X. Ribeiro do; J. Junior, Waldir C.; Bergamin Filho, ArmandoCoffee leaf scorch caused by Xylella fastidiosa is widespread in major coffee-growing regions of Brazil. This study was done to quantify the yield loss caused by this disease. The severity data of the disease were collected during the 2006, 2007 and 2008 seasons at commercial plantations growing Coffea arabica ‘Catuaí’ in São Gotardo-MG in 250 plants of three blocks of 7000 coffee plants each. Fifty selected plants per block with different disease severities were determined. The linear regression showed a significant relationship (P < 0.01) between disease severity and bean yield and between disease severity and grain size in all years. The relationship between yield and the disease severity was significant (P < 0.01). For each 1% increase in the disease severity, there was a decrease of 1.22, 1.34 and 2.02 bags of bean yield/ha in 2006, 2007 and 2008, respectively, thus showing the importance of the disease in reducing coffee bean yields.
