“…This methodology has been widely used to estimate genetic parameters, select progenies, adaptability and stability. It is also used in breeding programs of perennial species, such as bacuri (Maia et al, 2016a), cajuí (small cashew) (Maia et al, 2016b), baru (Santos et al, 2014), Brazil nut (Pedrozo et al, 2015), passion fruit (Santos et al, 2015;Freitas et al, 2016;Silva et al, 2016), coffee (Rodrigues et al, 2013), peach (Bruna et al, 2012, and others. Nevertheless, references in the literature were not found regarding the use of this method in grape breeding.…”
