Estimates of genetic parameters and selection methods for genetic improvement o...

The objective of this work was to study the genetic variability through progeny tests, and to determine the genetic gain through individual, combined and multieffect index selection in Pinus caribaea var. hondurensis. Two progeny tests were carried out in Tibagi, Paraná State, Brazil, on September, 1988. Growth data and tree characteristics were assessed when progenies were five years old. The mean volumetric t...

Estimates of genetic parameters and selection methods for genetic improvement o...

This work aimed to study the genetic variability within and between provenances and progenies and to determine the genetic gain related to timber volume, in Pinus oocarpa. The experiment was carried up in Angatuba, São Paulo, Brazil, in a compact family block design, with nine replications and six plant plots. The results of seven provenances showed a production of 0.296 m3 of timber per tree at nine years-old....

Productive capacity and genetic variation behavior in progenies from irrigated ...

The açai fruit yield is concentrated between the months of July to December (harvest), providing an important income to actors involved in the production chain, however in the off-season this brings serious socioeconomic problems, with the need for research that may offer selected genetic materials that can circumvent this problem. However, the age for making this selection in this species is unknown. Therefore...

Estimates of genetic parameters and selection gain for fruit production in open...

The study aimed to estimate parameters and breeding values for the traits number of bunches (NC), average weight of bunch (PMC) and total weight of the bunch (PTC) in palm-trees on six years, by the method of mixed models (REML/BLUP). The progeny test was established under a randomized block design with 50 treatments (progeny), 10 blocks and one plant per plot, spaced 5 × 5 m, and an outer boundary to the exper...

Triple categorical regression for genomic selection: application to cassava bre...

Genome-wide selection (GWS) is currently a technique of great importance in plant breeding, since it improves efficiency of genetic evaluations by increasing genetic gains. The process is based on genomic estimated breeding values (GEBVs) obtained through phenotypic and dense marker genomic information. In this context, GEBVs of N individuals are calculated through appropriate models, which estimate the effect ...

Application of hypergravity in Eucalyptus and Corymbia seeds

O presente trabalho objetivou avaliar o crescimento de espécies de Eucalyptus e Corymbia em diferentes intensidades de hipergravidade simulada em relação ao controle. Uma centrífuga foi usada para simular a hipergravidade. Este equipamento foi desenvolvido e construído no Centro de Microgravidade da Pontifícia Universidade Católica do Rio Grande do Sul, Brasil. Sementes de cinco espécies de Eucalyptus e uma de ...

Genetic parameters and selection of macaw palm ( Acrocomia aculeata) accessions...

This study aimed to estimate the parameters related to the genetic control of the physical characteristics of the fruits, oil content, and oil yield, and to proceed with the selection of macaw palm accessions. Forty-four macaw palm accessions of the active germplasm collection of the Federal University of Viçosa were collected for the evaluation of epicarp dry matter, pulp dry matter, endocarp dry matter, kerne...
