Almost all pineapple crops in Brazil are grown using the cultivar Perola. This scenario can
be changed through the development of new cultivars with better fruit quality and resistance …

The mixed-model methodology is an alternative to select genotypes for traits highly
influenced by the environment. In addition, this method allows FOR estimating the …

Elephant grass has stood out as a potential crop for energy production. Therefore, aiming to
increase selection efficiency and considering the importance of this crop as an energy …

The objective of this work was to select superior sweet orange (Citrus sinensis) genotypes
with higher yield potential based on data from eight harvests, using the residual or restricted …

Sugarcane breeding programs have been adapting to a new market demand: aside from
high sucrose yield per hectare, the sector needs new cultivars with higher fiber percentages …

Family selection in sugarcane (Saccharum spp.), as practiced in Australia, was difficult to
implement in South Africa because of the non-availability of mechanical harvesting and …

Analyzing genetic gains of sugarcane cultivars provides a measure of performance for plant
breeding programs. Previous studies in several countries showed yield of up to 150% in the …

Brazil has great potential to produce bioenergy since it is located in a tropical region that
receives high incidence of solar energy and presents favorable climatic conditions for such …

Realised selection gains provide a parametric evaluation of the potential of breeding
programmes to produce genetic gains in their released varieties. The objective of this study …

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 …
