Efficiency of selection per se and in single-cross hybrids for disease resistance in maize

Plant breeding strategies are constantly refined to increase efficiency during the selection process. Consequently, the aims of this study were to examine genetic control and efficiency of selection based on the per se performance of maize lines and based on hybrid performance in reaction to white spot, common rust, and ear rot diseases in maize breeding programs. W.. Read More»

Selection index using the graphical area applied to sugarcane breeding

    L.A. Silva, R.T. Resende, R.A.D.C. Ferreira, G.N. Silv, V. Kist, M.H.P. Barbosa, M. Nascimento and L.L. Bhering

This study aimed to develop a multivariate selection index based on the graphical area of a polygon formed by standardized values, also known as radar chart. This methodology may be used to assist selection of superior genotypes in sugarcane breeding programs. Seven technological traits in 37 sugarcane genotypes were evaluated. An area index (AI) was constructed and the resulting polygon areas .. Read More»

Relationship among physiological quality, heterosis, and amylase gene expression in maize seeds

    G.E. Oliveira, E.V.R. Von Pinho, T. Andrade, J.C. Souza, F. Caixeta and R.A.D.C. Ferreira

In this study, we analyzed heterosis, amylase enzyme gene expression, and the physiological quality of maize seeds with different genotypes and sizes, which were subjected to aging and not subjected to aging. We used seeds from 2 maize lines that differed with regard to physiological quality, the hybrid, and the reciprocal hybrid; they were classified into 2 sizes and were subjected to aging an..
