The objective of this study was to establish an isolated microspore culture (IMC) protocol in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) for use in genetic studies and to evaluate its potential for routine use in the Brazilian Wheat Breeding Program at Embrapa…

Studies on the impact of Eucalyptus spp. on Brazilian soils have focused on soil chemical properties and isolating interesting microbial organisms. Few studies have focused on microbial diversity and ecology in Brazil due to limited coverage of traditional cultivation and…

The combination of soil science, forestry, agronomy and biology allowed an analytical comparison of various experimental mixed culture systems. From these studies, a descriptor system was developed which allows to understand the contribution of each plant species to nutrient cycling,…

Research on self-regulated learning (SRL) in hypermedia-learning environments is a growing area of interest. One major issue is the role of prior knowledge, which can influence how students interact with hypermedia-learning systems in terms of their use of SRL strategies.…

Asian soybean rust caused by Phakoprsora pachyrhizi is one of the most important diseases for soybean cultivation. The disease causes yield loss as high as 80%. Until now, fungicide applications were most reliable control measure. However, farmers often lose timing…

Background: Dance is a modality of choice in rehabilitation, because it combines the benefits of aerobic exercise with an enjoyable social activity. Despite the scientific evidence supporting the use of dance in rehabilitation, this treatment modality is rarely used in…

Knowledge of the distribution of soil organic matter (SOM) fractions is important in managing soils toward a sustainable agricultural system ina tropical environment, However, data on Histosols in limited. This study developed 19 regions of Brazil. Soil organic matter was…
