 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): PIRES, L. P. M.; RAMALHO, M. A. P.; ABREU, A. de F. B.; FERREIRA, M. C. Plant with a more upright architecture offers many advantages to farmers. Recurrent mass selection (RS) programs for carioca type common bean have been implemented for the purpose of obtaining new lin... ... |
 Author(s): QUEIROZ, L. R. de; RODRIGUES, L. L.; MARTINS, S. M.; SOUZA, T. L. P. O. de; MELO, L. C.; PEREIRA, H. S. The iron concentration (FeC) and zinc concentration (ZnC) in common bean grain are quantitative traits, and appropriate breeding techniques are required to achieve genetic gain. The aim of this study... ... |
 Genetic progress after four cycles of recurrent selection for yield and grain traits in common bean. Author(s): RAMALHO, M. A. P.; ABREU, A. de F. B.; SANTOS, J. B. dos The objective of this study was to evaluate the genetic progress after four cycles of recurrent selection in common bean. The base segregating population was obtained from 10 parents, and derived the... ... |
 Author(s): MELO, L. C.; SILVA, A. C. F.; PEREIRA, H. S.; MELO, P. G. S.; SOUZA, T. L. P. O. Common beans are a key source of protein and are consumed daily by most of the Brazilian population. More than 70% of what is consumed in this country is classified as carioca beans, based on seed qua... ... |
 Author(s): PEREIRA, L. A.; ABREU, A. F. B.; VIEIRA JÚNIOR, I. C.; PIRES, L. P. M.; RAMALHO, M. A. P. Common bean producers in Brazil tend to grow plants as upright as possible. Because the control of this trait involves a large number of genes, recurrent selection (RS) is the best approach for succes... ... |
 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): COSTA, L. C.; RAMALHO, M. A P.; ABREU, A. F. B.; COSTA, K. C.; SOUZA, E. A. The objective of this study was to develop and evaluate the effectiveness of a recurrent selection program as an alternative to obtain common bean varieties resistant to different isolates of C. linde... ... |
 Author(s): BRESEGHELLO, F.; MORAIS, O. P.; CASTRO, E. M.; PRABHU, A. S.; BASSINELLO, P. Z.; PEREIRA, J. A.; UTUMI, M. M.; FERREIRA, M. E.; SOARES, A. A. The results reported here are based on data from field evaluation of F1:3 families in three RS cycles (trials in 2000, 2003, and 2006), conducted in four to five environments/year, in an augmented blo... ... |
 Diallel analysis: choosing parents to introduce new variability in a recurrent selection population. Author(s): GUIMARÃES, P. H. R.; CASTRO, A. P. de; COLOMBARI FILHO, J. M.; TORGA, P. P.; RANGEL, P. H. N.; MELO, P. G. S. Selecting appropriate donors and acquiring information about the genetic basis of inheritance is essential for breeding programs. In this study, a diallel cross was produced by crossing 15 progenies w... ... |
