The fruits as well as other organs of plants in its constitution have various phytochemicals, including polyphenols, the antioxidant molecules highly abundant in foods. Despite its ubiquity, its benefits to human health only start to be evaluated in 90’s, and it continues to reveal a growing interest, mainly due to epidemiological studies suggesting a link between the consumption of food and beverages rich in p...
Analysis of the expression of S alleles in ‘Rocha’ pear. In this work, the expression of incompatibility genes (S-alleles) in ‘Rocha’ pear was investigated. The comparison of these alleles with the alleles of other cultivars may constitute a tool to help the technicians and farmers to choose pollinators when planning a new ‘Rocha’ orchard. We have used molecular techniques that include pistil RNA extraction fro...
In order to select pear cultivar which are genetically compatible with ‘Rocha’ (Sa, Sj), the identification of S alleles sequences of commercial cultivars with bloom periods overlapping (partially or totally) the bloom period of ‘Rocha’ was performed. Partial sequences of the S alleles from the different cultivars were amplified with specific primers, cloned and sequenced. ‘Pêra De Água’ (S22, Sb) ‘Général Lecl...
