Comparison of three methods for diagnosis of Trypanosoma (Duttonella) vivax in cattle.
Detection of Trypanosoma vivax in cattle is based on parasitological, serological and molecular methods. The aim of this study was to compare three different methods for detecting T. vivax during an outbreak of trypanosomiasis in southeast Brazil. Blood samples were collected from seventy-two animals to perform micro-hematocrit centrifugation technique (MHCT), indir.. Read More»

Path analysis and canonical correlations for indirect selection of Jatropha genotypes with higher oil yield
Jatropha is a species with great potential for biodiesel production, and the knowledge on how the main agronomic traits are correlated will contribute to its improvement. Therefore, the objectives of this study were to estimate the genetic parameters of the traits: plant height at 12 and 40 months, canopy projection on the row at 12 and 40 months, canopy projection ..

Multivariate diallel analysis allows multiple gains in segregating populations for agronomic traits in Jatropha.
Jatropha is research target worldwide aimed at large-scale oil production for biodiesel and bio-kerosene. Its production potential is among 1200 and 1500 kg/ha of oil after the 4th year. This study aimed to estimate combining ability of Jatropha genotypes by multivariate diallel analysis to select parents and crosses that allow gains in important agronomic traits. W.. Read More»

Selection index using the graphical area applied to sugarcane breeding
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»

Selection of sorghum hybrids grown under aluminum saturation
The purpose of this study was to evaluate 165 hybrids derived from lines previously selected for aluminum (Al) tolerance. Nine check cultivars were used, eight commercial hybrids and one experimental hybrid. Hybrids were evaluated at three levels of Al saturation (0, 20 and 40% on average). The differences between the environments were significant. Environment with .. Read More»

Minimum number of measurements for evaluating soursop (Annona muricata L.) yield
Repeatability studies on fruit species are of great importance to identify the minimum number of measurements necessary to accurately select superior genotypes. This study aimed to identify the most efficient method to estimate the repeatability coefficient (r) and predict the minimum number of measurements needed for a more accurate evaluation of soursop (Annona mu..

Selecting sugarcane genotypes by the selection index reveals high gain for technological quality traits
Sugarcane (Saccharum sp) is one of the most promising crops and researchers have sought for renewable alternative energy sources to reduce CO2 emission. The study of strategies, which allow breeders in the selection of superior genotypes for many traits simultaneously, is important. Therefore, the objectives of this study were: i) to apply path analysis to better un.. Read More»

Estimates of repeatability coefficients and the number of the optimum measure to select superior genotypes in Annona muricata L.
The aim of this study was to evaluate repeated measures over the years to estimate repeatability coefficient and the number of the optimum measure to select superior genotypes in Annona muricata L. The fruit production was evaluated over 16 years in 71 genotypes without an experimental design. The estimation of variance components and the prediction of the permanent.. Read More»

Selection of Jatropha full-sib families based on genotypic adaptability and stability via mixed models
The objectives of this study were to estimate the genetic parameters for Jatropha full-sib families and to select superior genotypes based on grain yield, adaptability, and stability simultaneously to be used for cloning and crossings. Grain yield was evaluated in thirteen full-sib families in a randomized block design for 5 years. The harmonic mean of the relative .. Read More»
