Genetic parameters and selection of soybean lines based on selection indexes

Defining selection criteria is important to obtain promising genotypes in a breeding program. The objective of this study was to estimate genetic parameters for agronomic traits and to perform soybean line selection using selection indices. The experiment was conducted at an experimental area located at Capim Branco farm, belonging to the Federal University of Uberl.. Read More»

Correlations between traits in soybean (Glycine max L.) naturally infected with Asian rust (Phakopsora pachyrhizi)

    B. Rodrigues, F. Serafim, A.P.O. Nogueira, O.T. Hamawaki, L.B. de Sousa and R.L. Hamawaki

Soybean (Glycine max L.)-breeding programs aim to develop cultivars with high grain yields and high tolerance to Asian soybean rust (Phakopsora pachyrhizi). Considering that the traits targeted for breeding are mainly quantitative in nature, knowledge of associations between traits allows the breeder to formulate indirect selection strategies. In this study, we investigated phenotypic, genotypi.. Read More»

Adaptability and stability of soybean genotypes in off-season cultivation

    R.O. Batista, R.L. Hamawaki, L.B. Sousa, A.P.O. Nogueira and O.T. Hamawaki

The oil and protein contents of soybean grains are important quantitative traits for use in breeding. However, few breeding programs perform selection based on these traits in different environments. This study assessed the adaptability and stability of 14 elite early soybean breeding lines in off-season cultivation with respect to yield, and oil and protein contents. A range of statistical met..

This study aimed to evaluate the clustering pattern consistency of soybean (Glycine max) lines, using seven different clustering methods. Our aim was to evaluate the best method for the identification of promising genotypes to obtain segregating populations. We used 51 generations F5 and F6 soybean lines originating from different hybridizations and backcrosses obta.. Read More»

Selecting soybean resistant to the cyst nematode Heterodera glycines using simple sequence repeat (microssatellite) markers

    S.M.C.G. Espindola O.T. Hamawaki A.P. Oliveira C.D.L. Hamawaki R.L. Hamawaki L.M. Takahashi

The soybean cyst nematode (SCN) is a major cause of soybean yield reduction. The objective of this study was to evaluate the efficiency of marker-assisted selection to identify genotypes resistant to SCN race 3 infection, using Sat_168 and Sat-141 resistance quantitative trait loci. The experiment was carried out under greenhouse conditions, using soybean populations originated from crosses bet.. Read More»
