Diallel crossing methods provide information regarding the performance of genitors between themselves and their hybrid combinations. However, with a large number of parents, the number of hybrid combinations that can be obtained and evaluated become limited. One option regarding the number of parents involved is the adoption of circulant diallels. However, information is lacking regarding diallel analysis using mixed models. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of the method of linear mixed ...

The economic importance of sweet pepper is rising in Brazil and abroad. Nevertheless, diseases, such as the bacterial spot (Xanthomonas campestris pv. vesicatoria or Xanthomonas euvesicatoria) jeopardize its yield. An efficient method for controlling the disease is the use of resistant varieties. The objective of this work was to select sweet pepper genotypes with resistance to the bacterial spot on a segregating population (Capsicum annum accessions UENF 1421, susceptible, x UENF 1381, resistant), ...

Apoptosis of macrophages has been reported as an effective host strategy to control the growth of intracellular pathogens, including pathogenic mycobacteria. Tumour necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) plays an important role in the modulation of apoptosis of infected macrophages. It exerts its biological activities via two distinct cell surface receptors, TNFR1 and TNFR2, whose extracellular domain can be released by proteolysis forming soluble TNF receptors (sTNFR1 and sTNFR2). The signalling through TNFR1 ...
