Jatropha curcas has become a prominent source of biofuel, especially because of the high
oil content in its fruit. The aim of this study was to test different statistic models and compare …

In view of the global energy crisis and climate change, elephant grass (Cenchrus purpureus
(Schumach.) Morrone syn. Pennisetum purpureum Schumach.) represents a useful …

For elephant grass breeding for bioenergy purposes, selection should be based on
repeated harvests to maximize the selection efficiency. Selecting genotypes with high total …

In common bean breeding programs, experiments are conducted in different environments
to select plants with high potential for inbred lines extraction and/or recombination. The …

The burning of fossil fuels contributes to global warming. Using renewable energy sources
such as elephant grass biomass mitigates anthropogenic impact on nature. The genetic …

An accurate and efficient statistical method for repeated measures analysis and selection of
scion/rootstock combinations (SRC) is a fundamental prerequisite for genetic progress in …

The genus Cynodon includes species that have huge potential to produce high-quality
fodder, for grazing and hay production. In perennial forage breeding, selection should be …

Global warming threatens the productivity of forest plantations. We propose here the
integration of environmental information into a genomic evaluation scheme using individual …

Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) is one of the most important crops for human consumption
worldwide, representing an essential component for the food security of several countries …

Theobroma grandiflorum is a perennial fruit-bearing species with a long breeding cycle (~
12 years). In multi-harvest data analyses, one frequently observes heteroscedasticity and …
