The aim of the current study is to estimate the correlation coefficients and the consequence of genotypic correlations on direct and indirect effects through path analysis between agronomic traits of maize hybrids used for silage production. Eight (8) topcross hybrids and seven (7) checks were analyzed in completely randomized blocks, with six replications, in two environments: Campos do Goytacazes and Itaocara counties-Rio de Janeiro State, in the crop year 2015/2016. The following agronomic traits were assessed: plant height, first ear height, culm diameter, number of ears, ear yield with straw at silage maturity, ear yield without straw at silage maturity, grain yield at silage maturity, grains ratio in the fresh matter and fresh matter yield.
The aim of the present study was to investigate relations among ten traits in super-sweet corn genotypes assessed by means of simple correlation, path and canonical variable analyses, as well as to investigate the relative importance of such traits to the supersweet corn breeding program developed at Darcy Ribeiro Northern Fluminense State University in order to develop strategies able to improve the efficiency in the selection of superior genotypes. Thus, trials comprising 3 × 6 partial diallel of super-sweet (sh2) corn were carried out, according to a randomized block design (RBD) with four repetitions, in two different environments located in Northern Rio de Janeiro State, Brazil (Itaocara and Campos dos Goytacazes counties). The correlation study showed that traits
The purpose of this study was to describe the main traits of the super-sweet maize cultivars 'UENF SD 08' and 'UENF SD 09', which produced higher yields than the control cultivar in the VCU (Value for Cultivation and Use) test series and proved to be competitive under the agro-climatic conditions of Northern and Northwestern Rio de Janeiro State.
RESUMO -O objetivo do presente trabalho foi analisar a diversidade genética e o desempenho agronômico de um grupo de linhagens avançadas e superiores de soja, oriundas de cruzamentos biparentais, quádruplos e óctuplos, para identificar futuras combinações superiores e promissoras. O experimento foi conduzido na área experimental da Universidade Estadual Paulista "Júlio de Mesquita Filho", Campus de Jaboticabal, São Paulo. Os caracteres avaliados foram: número de dias para floração, altura da planta na floração, número de dias para maturidade, altura da planta na maturidade, altura de inserção da primeira vagem, número de ramos, número de vagens por planta, valor agronômico, acamamento, peso de cem sementes e produtividade de grãos. Para o cálculo das distâncias fenotípicas foi utilizada a distância generalizada de Mahalanobis e a contribuição relativa de cada caráter. Dentre os genótipos analisados, 19 linhagens obtiveram altos rendimentos, sendo superiores às testemunhas (V-max, CD 216, CD 219 e Conquista). A maior distância encontrada foi entre as linhagens JAB 41 e JAB 17 (279,81), seguidas por JAB 40 e JAB 17 (261,38) e entre JAB 40 e JAB 22 (255,46). Verificou-se a formação de seis grupos pelo agrupamento de Ward, indicando a presença de variabilidade genética entre as linhagens avaliadas. O aumento do número de genitores não foi determinante para o aumento da diversidade genética entre as linhagens, bem como não foi o fator responsável pelo agrupamento ou não dos genótipos avaliados.

ABSTRACT -The aim of this study was to analyse the genetic diversity and agronomic performance of a group of advanced and superior strains of soybean, derived from biparental, four-way and eight-way crosses, in order to identify future promising and superior combinations. The experiment was carried out in the experimental area of the Paulista State University, Júlio de Mesquita Filho, Jaboticabal Campus, in the state of São Paulo, Brazil. The characteristics under evaluation were: number of days to flowering, plant height at flowering, number of days to maturity, plant height at maturity, height of the first pod, number of branches, number of pods per plant, agronomic value, lodging, one hundred seed weight and seed yield. , The Mahalanobis distance and the relative contribution of each characteristic were used to calculate the phenotypic distances. Among the genotypes analysed, 19 strains displayed high productivity, being superior to the controls (V-max, CD 216, CD 219 and Conquista). The greatest distance found was between strains JAB 41 and JAB 17 (279.81), followed by JAB 40 and JAB 17 (261.38) and between JAB 40 and JAB 22 (255.46). There were six groups formed using the Ward method, indicating the presence of genetic variability among the tested strains. Increasing the number of parents had no effect on the increase in genetic diversity between the strains, and was not the factor responsible for the grouping or not of the genotypes under test.
This study described the main characteristics of the maize cultivars UENF MSV2210 and UENF MS2208. Adapted to the North and Northwestern regions of the state of Rio de Janeiro, they have a high agronomic performance and were developed for both silage and green maize production.
