14. EFICIÊNCIA DA MANIPUEIRA COMO QUELATIZANTE DE ZINCO E SEU EFEITO NA NUTRIÇÃO MINERAL DO FEIJOEIRO (PHASEOLUS VULGARIS L.) / THE EFFICIENCY OF MANIPUEIRA AS A ZINC CHELATE, AND ITS EFFECT ON ROOT GROWTH AND MINERAL NUTRITION IN BEAN CULTIVATION.
Cassava (Manihot esculenta, Crantz) is considered a vital agricultural crop due to its role as a staple food for low-income populations, primarily in the North and Northeast of Brazil, and is used as raw material for the manufacturing of a number of products such as flour and starch. During the manufacturing of these products, a potentially toxic liquid resi

Common bean is produced in the entire territory of Brazil and it is the staple food of many Brazilians. In spite of being cultivated in a variety of meteorological conditions, common bean is a plant sensitive to environmental stresses, mainly water stress. To appropriately provide the plant with water, it is necessary to study the climate of the region and t

18. Variability of maize genotypes for grain-carotenoid composition aiming biofortification / Variabilidade de genótipos de milho quanto à composição de carotenóides nos grãos visando a biofortificação
Vitamin A deficiency is the leading cause of blindness in the world, reaching approximately 21% of all the mal nourished children, with the largest number of affected kids in parts of Asia and Africa. Biofortification of the maize with provitamin A carotenoids, through breeding, is an alternative to diminish this deficiency, mainly in poor countries. The mai

19. CRESCIMENTO E DESENVOLVIMENTO DE GENÓTIPOS DE ARROZ (Oryza sativa L.) E DE BIÓTIPOS DE ARROZ VERMELHO (Oryza sativa L.). / Growth and development of cultivated Rice (Oryza sativa L.) genotypes and Red rice (Oryza sativa L.) biotypes.
Rice (Oryza sativa L.) constitutes the staple food of about half of the world`s population. Therefore, research on this crop has the potential of affecting the well being of a considerable number of people worldwide. Thermal time is a wide used method to tell time in plants, but this time concept is open to criticism. One of the goals of rice breeding progra

20. Adaptive Strategies of Two Caboclos Populations (Pará, Brazil) to the Estuarine and Seasonal Floodplain Ecosystems: a comparative analysis / "Estratégias adaptativas de duas populações caboclas (Pará) aos ecossistemas de várzea estuarina e estacional: uma análise comparativa".
A comparative study of the biological well being of two Amazonian caboclo populations situated in the Amazon Basin, in two different ecosystems (seazonal and estuarine várzeas), was undertaken. The main objective was to evaluate if the basin typology proposed for the Amazon region (Sioli 1984), based on the kind of water (clear, white, black), could explain

21. Lysine fortification reduces anxiety and lessens stress in family members in economically weak communities in Northwest Syria
Lysine is a limiting amino acid in diets based on wheat as the staple. In experimental animals, prolonged dietary lysine inadequacy increases stress-induced anxiety. If observed in humans, such a result would have a strong implication for the relationship between nutrition and communal quality of life and mental health. As part of a 3-month randomized double

22. The TIGR rice genome annotation resource: annotating the rice genome and creating resources for plant biologists
Rice is not only a major food staple for the world's population but it also is a model species for a major group of flowering plants, the monocotyledonous plants. Draft genomic sequence of two subspecies of rice, Oryza sativa spp. japonica and indica ssp. are publicly available. To provide the community with a resource to data-mine the rice genome, we have c

23. BGI-RIS: an integrated information resource and comparative analysis workbench for rice genomics
Rice is a major food staple for the world’s population and serves as a model species in cereal genome research. The Beijing Genomics Institute (BGI) has long been devoting itself to sequencing, information analysis and biological research of the rice and other crop genomes. In order to facilitate the application of the rice genomic information and to provi

24. Peak expiratory flow in rural residents of Tamil Nadu, India.
BACKGROUND: In a country such as India that covers several latitudes, climatic zones, ethnic groups, and dietary habits lung function within the normal population would be expected to vary. Several studies have looked at normal values of peak expiratory flow (PEF) in different regions of urban India but none has looked at rural South India. A study of PEF ha
