ABSTRACT: The analysis of main additive effects and multiplicative interaction is commonly used in the evaluation of the genotype x environment interaction, however, its application can be used for other purposes, as it is performed in the presentresearch, which uses this technique in the selection of inbred lines, testers and hybrids in maize topcrosses. Thisresearch determined the effect of the inbred lines x...
ABSTRACT The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of harvesting corn at different maturity stages for silage production combined with four storage periods, considering nutrient loss and the chemical composition of silage of the whole plant and also of grainless plants. The experiment was performed in a completely randomized design with a factorial arrangement of six maturity stages of corn [reprod...
ABSTRACT Super sweet corn breeding must develop hybrids that fully meet the expectations of the market. In this sense, the determination of keytraits for the selection of sweetcorn genotypes is a fundamental condition for breeding success. The objective of this work was to identify key traits for the selection of promising and contrasting genotypes of super sweet corn. The experiments were carried out in Guarap...
ABSTRACT Genetic divergence analysis among testers and progenies and the correlation of genetic distance with combining ability can be an important alternative to select maize progenies regarding grain yield and forage potential since testers suitable to both purposes are rare.The objective of this work was to select testers suitable for the evaluation of grain yield and forage traits is topcrosses with S3 prog...
Abstract: The objective of this work was to identify corn (Zea mays) genotypes with forage potential and to evaluate the efficiency of testers to discriminate forage traits in topcrosses, considering the contribution of additive and nonadditive genes. The experiment was carried out in the 2015/2016 and 2016/2017 crop seasons, in a randomized complete block design with three replicates. Thirty S3 corn progenies ...
Abstract: The objective of this work was to evaluate the yield performance, adaptability, and stability of corn (Zea mays) topcross hybrids in nine environments in Brazil, in order to select inbred lines, testers, and promising hybrid combinations for these environments in the second crop season. The trials were carried out during the second crop season of 2017, in six sites in the state of Paraná and three in ...
ABSTRACT The exploitation of the existing genetic variability for the physiological traits related to the yield and quality of maize forage can assist in the development of superior inbred lines and hybrids. The objective of this work was to evaluate the general and the specific combining ability and the nature of gene effects of physiological and chemical traits of forage maize genotypes. Two groups of genotyp...
Abstract: The objective of this work was to estimate the base temperature for node emission and plastochron determination in wild species of tomato, in the Redenção cultivar, and in their respective interspecific F1 hybrids. The wild accessions Solanum pimpinellifolium AF 26970, Solanum galapagense LA-1401, Solanum peruvianum AF 19684, Solanum habrochaites var. hirsutum PI-127826, Solanum habrochaites var. glab...
The objective was to estimate the combining ability of lines and heterosis in industrial tomato genotypes for the identification of those with good potential for breeding programs. Ten lines of industrial tomato, 45 hybrids derived from a complete diallel and two commercial check cultivars were evaluated. The combining ability of tomato lines and heterosis of hybrid combinations for fruit-quality related traits...
Com o objetivo de identificar o tipo de herança, o número de genes e os parâmetros genéticos e fenotípicos da resistência do acesso PI 595201 a um isolado de PRSV-W da região Norte do Brasil foi conduzido um experimento na área experimental do Departamento de Produção Vegetal da Universidade Federal do Tocantins, em condições de casa de vegetação. A partir do cruzamento entre a cultivar suscetível Crimson Sweet...
