Discrepant and incomplete interpretations of fruits of Pterodon have been published, especially on the structural interpretation of the pericarp portion that remain attached to the seed upon dispersal. The present work clarified these doubts and analyzed ultrastructural aspects of the Pterodon emarginatus diaspores using light and transmission electron microscopes. Cell divisions are prevalent ...

Abstract The objective of this work was to analyze structurally the pods and seed coats soybean (Glycine max) cultivars, as well determine quality seeds when subjected deterioration by weathering in pre-harvest. A 7×3 factorial arrangement used – seven cultivars three volumes simulated rainfall (0, 54, 162 mm). Exposure R8 phenological stage. Then, plants were taken a greenhouse, where they kep...

Two inter-subspecific F1 hybrids have been obtained by crossing olive cultivars (‘Frantoio’ and ‘Coratina’) with pollen donors from subspecies (Olea europaea subsp. cuspidata) to enrich the germplasm of cultivated in southern China. This study aimed investigate characterization morphological traits molecular markers two their parents crosses. The showed a significant difference between genotype...
