Selection in sugarcane based on inbreeding depression
Authors: A.A.C. de Azeredo, L.L. Bhering, B.P. Brasileiro, C.D. Cruz and M.H.P. Barbosa
This study aimed to evaluate the gene action associated with yield-related traits, including mean stalk weight (MSW), tons of sugarcane per hectare (TCH), and fiber content (FIB) in sugarcane. Moreover, the viability of individual reciprocal recurrent selection (RRSI-S1) was verified, and the effect of inbreeding depression on.. Read More»

Phenotypic characteristics for discrimination between advanced genotypes of Brachiaria ruziziensis
Authors: B.A. Rezende, C.B. Ribeiro, D.H.L. Teixeira, F.M.A. Gon�§alves and F. Souza Sobrinho
The aim of this study was to use multivariate methods and Pearson and partial correlations to disregard phenotypic characteristics that contribute little to differentiation between Brachiaria ruziziensis genotypes. Eighty-one genotypes of B. ruziziensis were assessed in completely randomized blocks with three replications. Ten phenotypic characteristics w.. Read More»

Genome-wide prediction of maize single-cross performance, considering non-additive genetic effects
Authors: J.P.R. Santos, H.D. Pereira, R.G. Von Pinho, L.P.M. Pires, R.B. Camargos and M. Balestre
The prediction of single-cross hybrids in maize is a promising technique for optimizing the use of financial resources in a breeding program. This study aimed to evaluate Genomic Best Linear Unbiased Predictors models for hybrid prediction and compare them with the Bayesian Ridge Regression, Bayes A, Bayesian LASSO, Bayes C, Bayes B, and Reproducing Kerne..
