GENETIC GAINS AND SELECTION ADVANCES OF THE UENF-14 POPCORN POPULATION

In this study, we investigated the performance of 37 popcorn accessions landraces, hybrids, and inbreed lines from the Germplasm Collection of UENF’s Popcorn Breeding Program

In its genetic base, the UENF-14 popcorn population has been crossed with the American popcorn variety, which is resistant to northern corn leaf blight (Resh et al., 2015), so the

Thus, the goal of the present study was to investigate the impact of recurrent selection across nine cycles of a UENF-14 popcorn population through the analysis of genetic

Analysis of variance of the specific combination ability (SCA), reciprocal effect (REC), maternal effect (MAT), and non- maternal effect (NMAT) for the traits, popping expansion

The aim of this study was to estimate the genetic progress attained for popping expansion (PE) and grain yield (GY) after four cycles of recurrent selection and to compare

Genetic gain predicted as based on additive genetic value for selection of individuals, considering the OY trait (56%), was greater than the gain predicted from selection of the

This study had, therefore, the aim to estimate and compare the predicted genetic gains by means of direct and indirect selections, as well as through a classical selection index,
