The objective of the present study is the evaluation of genetic parameters in F 4 and F 5 soybean populations from two crosses, which are potentially resistant to Asian soybean rust. The genotypes were developed from the cross between parents, which were resistant and susceptible to the disease, and totaled 137 genotypes in generation F 4 and 283 genotypes in F 5. The experimental design was augmented blocks with two checks between the treatments. The following agronomic characters were evaluated: plant height at maturity, first pod insertion height, number of nodes and branches, agronomic value, lodging, number of pods and seeds per plant and seed production. After the genotypes were submitted to analyses of variance, heritability, and selection gains, it was observed that Cross 1 had superior progenies, which were potentially resistant to Asian soybean rust and also had good productivity.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
