Allometric model for estimating leaf area in clonal varieties of coffee (Coffea canephora)1 Modelo alométrico para estimativa da área foliar de variedades clonais de café (Coffea canephora)

چکیده
The evaluation of leaf area is required in several agronomic studies given their importance to assess the plant growth. The objective of this study was to use statistical models to estimate leaf area of five clonal varieties of coffee (Coffea canephora) from linear dimensions (length and width maximum). Were used in the studies five varieties of Coffea canephora Pierre ex Froehner: Emcapa 8111, Emcapa 8121 Emcapa 8131, Emcapa 8141 and at Incaper 8142. The results obtained in this study allow us to conclude that the linear model expresses the best estimate of leaf area. Among the different independent variables adopted, the product of length and greatest width (L.W) was found to be the greatest significance and higher coefficients of determination (R2). The regression equation that best expresses the estimated leaf area for the five clonal varieties is i = 0.6723 + 0.6779 xi, where xi represents the product of the greatest length and the greatest width of the leaves.

Miniature Inverted-repeat Transposable Elements (MITEs) are small nonautonomous class-II transposable elements distributed throughout eukaryotic genomes. We identified a novel family of MITEs (named Alex) in the Coffea canephora genome often associated with expressed sequences. The Alex-1 element is inserted in an intron of a gene at the CcEIN4 locus. Its mobility was demonstrated by sequencing...

Microsatellite markers, also known as SSRs (Simple Sequence Repeats), have proved to be excellent tools for identifying variety and determining genetic relationships. A set of 127 SSR markers was used to analyze genetic similarity in twenty five Coffea arabica varieties. These were composed of nineteen commercially important Brazilians and six interspecific hybrids of Coffea arabica, Coffea can...
