A Bayesian Analysis of Plant DNA Length Distribution via -Statistics.

We report an analysis of the distribution of lengths of plant DNA (exons). Three species of were investigated. In our study, we used two distinct κ distribution functions, namely, κ-Maxwellian and double-κ, to fit the length distributions.

Optimum plot size of planting and bio-agroeconomic revenues from arugula-carrot intercropping systems in a semi-arid region.

The production of vegetable crops has been characterized as a highly intensive activity in the use of soil, water, inputs and labor in semi-arid regions, being practiced mostly by small family farmers as a way of subsistence, or in the small-scale commercialization of surplus production. Among the agricultural practices that have been successfully used by vegetable producers are intercrop systems that, when implemented with adequate management, present gains in productivity, nutritional, economic, and environmental value. The aim of this study was to estimate the optimal plot sizes of plantings of carrot (Daucus carota L.

Screening of melon genotypes for resistance to vegetable leafminer and your phenotypic correlations with colorimetry.

Melon is one of the most important vegetable crops in the world. With short cycle in a system of phased planting, phytosanitary control is compromised, and a great volume of agricultural chemicals is used to control vegetable leafminer. Genetic control is an ideal alternative to avoid the damage caused by this insect.

Phenotypic stability of hybrids of Gália melon in Rio Grande do Norte state, Brazil.

The objectives of this study were to determine the importance of simple and complex components of the interaction genotype × environment and to evaluate the adaptability and stability of Gália melon hybrids. Nine hybrids were tested in twelve environments of Rio Grande Norte State from 2000 to 2001. The experiments were carried out in a randomized complete block design with three replications.
