Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is one of the most important crops in the world. Brazil is one of the largest importers of this cereal, and wheat breeding programs are attempting to increase productivity and reduce external dependence. The objectives of this study were to quantify the spring wheat genetic gain in Brazil between 1984 and 2014 using data from multienvironment trials, and to verify if the genetic gain stagnated after the 2000s. This study used a highly unbalanced dataset containing grain yield (GY) data from 187 spring wheat trials that were performed at 25 locations between 2002 and 2015. In total, 126 cultivars, released between 1985 and 2014, were evaluated over 14 crop seasons. The cultivar evaluation indicated that there was a genetic gain in GY of 33.9 kg ha−1 yr−1 (r2 = 0.53, P < 0.01), which represents an increase of 1.28% yr−1. The dataset showed a linear regression for the genetic gain and indicates that wheat genetic gain has not stagnated in Brazil after the 2000s.
The search for productive and stable genotypes is the main goal of breeding programs. The Genotype × Environment interaction strongly influences genotype performance, and makes the selection of new cultivars difficult. One way to take advantage of this interaction is to identify genotypes with high grain yield (GY) and stability in different environments. The objective of this study was to evaluate the consistency of correlation between GY and stability evaluation methods in multi-environment trials and identify which methods are more suitable for selecting genotypes.

The wheat cultivar UTF 25 is recommended for wheat-growing regions 1 and 2 of Paraná and Santa Catarina states. It has a good disease resistance, early cycle, and high grain yield potential, with an average yield of 3.511 kg ha -1 . It is classified as bread wheat with white flour.
Esta síntese apresenta alguns dados preliminares e perspectivas de uma pesquisa em andamento, vinculada ao Programa Institucional de Bolsas de Iniciação Científica (PIBIC), financiado pela Universidade Federal de Mato Grosso do Sul (UFMS). A pesquisa se caracteriza como uma análise documental, tendo como objetivo geral compreender como se normatizam os diferentes documentos oficiais de Educação vinculados à disciplina de Educação Física em dois países, neste caso o Brasil e a Bolívia. Também esperamos compreender no futuro como esses documentos orientam e influenciam as práticas da área nestes diferentes contextos.
