 Author(s): SMIDERLE, E. C.; FURTINI, I. V.; SILVA, C. S. C. da; BOTELHO, F. B. S.; RESENDE, M. P. M.; BOTELHO, R. T. C.; COLOMBARI FILHO, J. M.; CASTRO, A. P. de; UTUMI, M. M. The success of any breeding program depends on the ability of the breeder to select genetically superior progenies for multiple traits simultaneously, and an alternative is the use of selection indexe... ... |
 Author(s): TARDIN, F. D.; PEREIRA, M. G.; GABRIEL, A. P. C.; AMARAL JÚNIOR, A. T. do; SOUZA FILHO, G. A. de Reciprocal recurrent selection among full-sib families is one of the outstanding methodologies of maize improvement. since gains are possible in the per se and/or in cross population. Here the selecti... ... |
 Author(s): ALVES, R. M.; CHAVES, S. F. da S. In fruit tree breeding, selection indices are used to identify the genotypes that combine desirable commercial and non-commercial characteristics. As Theobroma grandiflorum is generally cultivated in... ... |
 Author(s): AMBRÓSIO, M.; DAHER, R. F.; SANTOS, R. M.; SANTANA, J. G. S.; VIDAL, A. K. F.; NASCIMENTO, M. R.; LEITE, C. L.; SOUZA, A. G. de; FREITAS, R. S.; STIDA, W. F.; FARIAS, J. E. C.; SOUZA FILHO, B. F. de; MELO, L. C.; SANTOS, P. R. dos Common bean provides diet rich in vitamins, fiber, minerals, and protein, which could contribute into food security of needy populations in many countries. Developing genotypes that associate favorabl... ... |
 Author(s): LOPES, F. B.; SILVA, M. C. da; MIYAGI, E. S.; FIORAVANTI, M. C. S.; FACO, O.; McMANUS, C. Abstract: The selection process in dairy goat was evaluated by selection indexes. Basal population of 1,000 does, randomly mated by 50 unselected and unrelated bucks, was simulated. Eight selection in... ... |
 Author(s): SANTOS, I. G. dos; CRUZ, C. D.; NASCIMENTO, M.; FERREIRA, R. de P. The efficiency of a selection index generally depends on the quality of the variance matrixes, which demands controlled experiments. Using Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) trained from a selection in... ... |
 Author(s): GUIMARÃES, P. H. R.; MELO, P. G. S.; CORDEIRO, A. C. C.; TORGA, P. P.; RANGEL, P. H. N.; CASTRO, A. P. de To attain success with selection process, the breeders need to understand the genetic variability into each population developed by breeding program. In this purpose, breeders need to estimate the var... ... |
 Author(s): BEZERRA, A. R. G.; RESENDE, M. D. V. de; SILVA, F. L. da; SEDIYAMA, T.; CRUZ, C. D.; SILVA, F. C. dos S.; SILVA, A. F. da This study aimed to apply selection indexes in situations in which F2 populations and their parents are evaluated simultaneously in field trials to predict population genotypic values and selecting th... ... |
 Author(s): CARVALHO, A. D. F. de; SILVA, G. O. da; PEREIRA, A. da S.; AZEVEDO, F. Q.; RAGASSI, C. F. This study aimed to test nonparametric selection indexes for selection of advanced potato clones and identification of those that are likely to become cultivars. The experiments were carried out in 20... ... |
 Author(s): MENDES, F. F.; RAMALHO, M. A. P.; ABREU, A. de F. B.; SILVA, C. A. This work was carried out to verify if a selection index with equal weight for standardized variables is useful to assessing the genetic values of parents in a diallel crossing. |
