coffea mannii/necrosis

A novel type of somatic embryogenesis characterized by an efficient and highly synchronized embryo formation was observed in embryogenic callus of Coffea arabica initiated on Murashige and Skoog medium containing kinetin (4 mg/l) and 2,4-D (1 mg/l). It occurs in suspension and goes along with the

Crop health management systems can be designed according to practices that help to reduce crop losses by restricting pathogen development and promoting host plant growth. A good understanding of pathogen and host dynamics, which are interdependent, is therefore needed. In this paper, we used a

"Crespera" is an infectious disease of coffee plants that affects both the coffee production and the economy of the coffee producer countries. This disease affects morphologically the plant: long and narrow leaves with wavy borders and marginal necrosis; strong chlorosis results in drying of the

Atractyloside (Atr) is a diterpenoid glycoside that occurs naturally in plants (many of which are used in ethnomedicines) found in Europe, Africa, South America, Asia and the far East. It is also present in animal grazing forage. Atr (and its analogues) may be present at levels as high as 600 mg/kg

Pecan [Carya illinoinensis (Wangenh.) K. Koch] is an important producing nut tree that has been intensively cultivated in the state of Rio Grande do Sul (Brazil) in recent decades. This species is commonly grown in association with other crops and more often with cattle or sheep. An elevated

During roasting, major changes occur in the composition and physiological effects of coffee beans. In this study, in vitro antioxidant effects and anti-inflammatory effects of Coffea arabica green coffee extracts were investigated at different roasting levels corresponding to Light, Medium, City,

In Brazil, dieback and necrosis of leaves and berries of coffee trees (Coffea arabica and C. canephora) are common symptoms of anthracnose disease caused by Colletotrichum gloeosporioides (Penz.) Sacc. In April 2010, these symptoms were observed in 100% of the plants from different coffee
