The expansion of agriculture, coupled with the need for sustainable cropping, is one of the greatest challenges of the scientific community working on the generation of new cultivars adapted to abiotic stress conditions. The aim of this study was to evaluate the variability of popcorn lines as to responsiveness and efficiency in phosphorus use, as a first step towar.. Read More»

Multivariate approach in popcorn genotypes using the Ward-MLM strategy: morpho-agronomic analysis and incidence of Fusarium spp

R.N.F. Kurosawa, A.T. do Amaral Junior, F.H.L. Silva, A. dos Santos,M. Vivas, S.H. Kamphorst and G.F. Pena

The multivariate analyses are useful tools to estimate the genetic variability between accessions. In the breeding programs, the Ward-Modified Location Model (MLM) multivariate method has been a powerful strategy to quantify variability using quantitative and qualitative variables simultaneously. The present study was proposed in view of the dearth of information ab.. Read More»

Combining ability of S3 progenies for key agronomic traits in popcorn: comparison of testers in top-crosses

V.J. de Lima, A.T. do Amaral Junior, S.H. Kamphorst, G.F. Pena,J.T. Leite, K.F.M. Schmitt, C. Vittorazzi, J.E. de Almeida Filho and F. Mora

The successful development of hybrid cultivars depends on the reliability of estimated combining ability of the parent lines. The objectives of this study were to assess the combining ability of partially inbred S3 families of popcorn derived from the open-pollinated variety UENF 14, via top-crosses with four testers, and to compare the testers for their ability to ..

Molecular markers are a useful tool for identification of complementary heterotic groups in breeding programs aimed at the production of superior hybrids, particularly for crops such as popcorn in which heterotic groups are not well-defined. The objective of the present study was to analyze the genetic diversity of 47 genotypes of tropical popcorn to identify possib.. Read More»
